Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request to help me find the right placement for a very special dog named Fred. I adopted Fred six weeks ago, and although we have formed a deep bond, it’s become clear that he needs a level of behavioral support and consistency that I cannot provide in my current living situation.

Fred is a tricolor Border Collie mix, approximately 3–4 years old and around 50 pounds. He is sweet, sensitive, intelligent, and deeply affectionate once he feels safe. He plays wonderfully with other dogs and settles beautifully in a calm home environment. He is good on a leash and settles well at home.

Fred does have some fear-based reactivity toward unfamiliar people and separation anxiety. However, it’s important to emphasize that Fred has shown meaningful improvements in these areas with the right training and handling. His former owner did foundational work with him, and since coming to me, he has continued to progress. He is truly a love and wants to please.
