My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Bramble – Our Brave, Brilliant, and Beautiful Boy!

At just 4.5 months old and weighing 22lbs, Bramble has already shown the heart and spirit of a true survivor. This sweet Border Collie mix had a rough start in life, but thanks to the love and care from his foster family, he’s learning what it means to be safe, loved, and cherished.

Bramble is a bundle of energy, intelligence, and heart. He has the brilliance of a Border Collie — quick to learn, eager to please, and always ready for the next adventure. He’s already mastering his basic commands like sit, down, paw, up, and spin! Treats are the key to his heart, and his soft, soulful eyes will melt yours instantly.

He absolutely adores his 3-year-old human foster sibling, though sometimes his playful energy gets the best of him and he can be a bit too bouncy. He’s still learning his manners — he just loves being part of the fun!

Bramble is a working dog at heart, so he’ll thrive with a very active family who understands the Border Collie mindset — a family who will give him structure, enrichment, and positive training. This breed rarely slows down, and Bramble is no exception! He’ll need someone who can keep his mind and body busy with walks, playtime, and learning new skills.

He’s also a sensitive soul — timid at first, but once you earn his trust, his loyalty knows no bounds. He gets nervous with new experiences and tends to get car sick, which is common for this breed, so he’ll need a patient family willing to help him work through those fears and gain confidence in the big world around him.

Bramble is doing great with crate training — he feels safe in his crate, sleeps through the night, and wakes up bright and early at 6am, ready to take on the day. He’s curious, loves to chew (sometimes on things he shouldn’t!), and has a heart full of love to give.

Bramble loves:
* Playing fetch
* Cuddles and belly rubs
* Learning new tricks
* Being near his people

Bramble isn’t quite ready to go home yet, but he’ll be ready for adoption in November once he’s a little older and stronger.

If you’re an active family looking for a smart, affectionate, and loyal companion to share adventures and cuddles with — Bramble might just be your perfect match. Please submit your application. Applications are found by copying this link into your browser: https://form.jotform.com/201527297286058
