My story

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

Dog Name: Kanga



Breed: Border Collie



Sex: Female



Age: 2-4 years old



Weight: 27 pounds



Medical Needs: Has a spay appointment February 25th at the SPCA in Dover, DE. Keeping that appointment will be a requirement of her adoption.



Housebroken: Yes



Crate trained: Yes



Good in the car: Yes



Good on a leash: Yes. She loves to go for a walk and gets excited when she sees her leash.



Energy level: Med/High



Need a fenced in yard: Yes



Dog Friendly: Yes



If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No



Cat Friendly: Yes



Kid Friendly: Yes



If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? 8 years old. Because of her herding instinct she shouldn’t be placed with young children who could be knocked over. Loud noises, yelling, and sudden movements scare her.



Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know:



Kanga is a beautiful young lady who was surrendered with a litter of puppies. She is sweet and loyal and always wants to have her favorite person nearby. She will follow you everywhere if given the chance and is happy to sit with you to relax. She loves to run outside and should have a fenced in yard to help her get her energy out safely.



Kanga has been an excellent houseguest!



She is housebroken and always keeps her crate clean. She likes for her crate to be in a high traffic area so she doesn’t miss anything. She has had no accidents in the house and will go to the door to go out. She enjoys bones and treats and will sit nicely when asked. She is very trainable and eager to please.



She is still working on keeping her body calm when she gets excited. She might try to jump or paw at you when she is celebrating your arrival back at home or if she wants your attention. She does well with redirection in the moment, but it is a work in progress. Because of this, she shouldn’t be adopted by anyone who is unsteady on their feet.



If you are looking for a loyal, loving companion to snuggle with, Kanga would love to meet you!
