My story

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

Greetings, my name is Garth! I'm a 3-year-old male border collie mix. I am current on my vaccines, heartworm tested, neutered, and microchipped.

3 words that describe me: Sweetheart, Smart, Playful

Things staff and volunteers have to say about me: I'm a loving guy who greets the world with a smile! I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but it doesn't take me too long to warm up to them. I'm super playful and love toys of all kinds, though I seem to favor balls. With that being said I am a hard chewer so I will need some strong toys!

Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10): 6 or 7/10

Housetraining Status: I have been good at keeping my kennel clean, although it may take me some time to adjust to a new schedule.

I should do well in a home: I will need to meet any dogs in my potential home before adoption. I should do well with children of all ages given proper supervision. My friends at CRHS are unsure how I'd do with cats.

My favorite activities are: Playing with toys!!!! I love cuddling my humans and getting affection from them as well.

Things I need work on are: I could use a little more work with my basic commands and leash walking.

Any special needs: N/A

Doggy day out notes:
"Garth was the best boy today. He is so friendly and nice, super calm and does not bark. He also LOVED his pup cup! he loves to snuggle and give lots of kisses, he is amazing! I did not want to bring him back but I really hope he gets adopted soon :)"

"Garth was great. He is really smart. He knows sit, down, touch, and even can catch a treat in mid-air. He did great on leash and did pull a bit but not terrible to where you can't redirect him. He loves to check in when walking as well and can be able to tell to slow down if needed. He does like using his nose and is kind of food motivated. And he is a snuggle-bug, where he'll sit by your side and lean into you."

"Garth is truly a special little guy! He needs to build some confidence and is definitely a little nervous at times, but he warms up to people really quick and is super affectionate and becomes very mellow when he gets pets and belly scratches. He is very smart and highly trainable! Was almost 100% with Sit and lay down and we started practicing “look at me!” on walks which he was very receptive to and by the end of the day he would look at me to check in whenever a new person entered. He does need a bit of leash training but was pulling less by the end of the day. He is playful and has energy but was also very calm and patient just hanging out in my office for a while!"
