Shadow

Border Collie Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 3 yrs 8 mos
Oceanside, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Shadow is a high drive working breed border collie who needs someone with breed experience (preferred). Fulfillment requirements: She will need more than just an hour long walk a day to meet her physical requirements. She currently bikes, hikes, and loves to swim. She is also well versed in carrying a weighted pack on her hikes, which helps her tune into her body and slow her mind. She's an athletic girl and needs someone to match that lifestyle. Sociability (Dog preferences): Shadow is dog selective. She would be perfectly fine in a home with no other dogs but would also do ok if she found a home with the right dog for her. No little dogs or other small animals though. She doesn't enjoy every dog but enjoys most in the proper introductions are taken. She doesn't enjoy chaos with other dogs but loves to partake in structured pack activities. She is NOT a dog park or high-energy daycare type dog. Training: She's crate trained and sleeps, eats and rests in one daily. She's highly intelligent and learns quickly. She is well versed in basic obedience cues: sit, down, stand, stay, recall, place, middle, and loose leash walking. She does not enjoy being approached, touched or spoken to by strangers but has increased her thresholds for tolerance by quite a lot. She can navigate public spaces with the proper guidance but is probably never going to be a "coffee shop" dog. Shadow's Adoption fee is $250 and includes spay, microchip and current vaccinations.

Meet Oreo!Oreo was rescued from an empty property after neighbors reported him. He’s deaf — but that doesn’t slow him down a bit. Oreo is calm and sleeps deeply, and when he’s awake he’s eager to please. He has a sweet, grateful temperament and would make a wonderful family dog or loyal companion. Oreo was rescued with double grade 3-4 hip dysplasia requiring double FHO. One side was operated on a few months ago, and the other side was just complete.Oreo has completed our medical protocol, including:Full vaccinationsDewormingMicrochip with lifetime registrationNeuter surgeryBloodwork (CBC, chemistry panel, 4DX test)Flea/tick/heartworm prevention (NexGard Spectra)Interested?
