Story
Hi, I’m Brie Here is a little info about me:
Breed: Border Collie MixAge: 5 yearsGender: Female Weight: 35 lb Height: 20 inchesHighlight(s): Good with other dogs, affectionate, social
I had a rough start in life. I was found as a stray and adopted once before, but when I needed medical care, I was sadly abandoned. Thanks to a kind rescuer, my life was saved—I received surgery for a mammary tumor and completed heartworm treatment. Now I’m healthy, healed, and more than ready for my forever home
I’m a SUPER affectionate girl with a bright, happy personality. I adore people and love anyone who gives me attention. Cuddling with my human friends is one of my favorite things in the world.
I’ve spent a lot of time around other dogs and I’m very gentle when meeting them, though I’m more of a people-lover than a dog-player. My heart belongs to humans. I have a moderate energy level (for a Border Collie!)—I enjoy walks, runs, and outdoor time, then I’m happy to relax calmly at home.
I’m confident and easygoing: no leash reactivity, not scared of city noises, and I rarely bark. I love playing ball (classic Border Collie!), ride great in the car, and I’m crate-trained. I haven’t shown any aggression or separation anxiety, and I don’t have an escape tendency. I’m about 90% house-trained and still polishing those last few details.
One thing to know about me—I’m a big foodie and might sneak other dogs’ meals if I get the chance, but I don’t guard food from people.
If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who truly lives for human connection, I might be your girl

Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.
Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.
Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.
The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.
Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.
Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
