My story

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

Haku is a stunning 6-year-old Border Collie mix located in Coarsegold, California, and he is truly an athlete at heart. Weighing about 45 pounds, Haku is incredibly intelligent, loyal, and full of life. His family loves him deeply but is rehoming him due to major life changes, including downsizing their home and welcoming a new baby, which makes it impossible to give him the active lifestyle he deserves.

Haku is very high energy and thrives when he has a job to do. He is obsessed with fetch and will happily chase a ball for hours on end. He has spent his life adventuring in places like Tahoe—camping, kayaking, backpacking, biking, and even backcountry skiing. Water is his absolute favorite thing in the world. He is an incredible swimmer and will stay in the lake as long as you let him. His athleticism is unmatched—he is fast, fearless, agile, and can leap impressive distances with ease.

He does well with men, women, children, other dogs, and cats. While he grew up with multiple animals, he’s more focused on his person and his activities than on socializing with other pets. He has excellent recall outdoors, though squirrels and moving critters can sometimes distract him briefly. He is well trained and knows commands such as sit, stay, paw, and roll over.

Inside the home, Haku needs structure and routine. He has some separation anxiety and must be crated when left alone, which he is very comfortable with and even enjoys as his safe space. Without enough exercise or attention, he can become restless and destructive, so an active home is essential for his success. He sleeps in bed at night but prefers not to cuddle too closely.

Haku has a sensitive stomach and does best staying strictly on his regular food, with slow introductions to anything new. He is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and healthy.

His ideal home would be a farm, a house with a large yard, or an extremely active person or couple who loves hiking, running, swimming, and outdoor adventures. He is not suited for apartment living or for a family that is away from home most of the day. With the right match, Haku will be an extraordinary companion—loyal, wildly athletic, and endlessly devoted.

More about this rescue

I lost my Aussie a couple of years I go & I felt lost. I started fostering 2 puppies at the shelter and couldn’t put them back in the shelter and felt responsible for them, thus I needed to find them an awesome home! So here I am.
