Story
Meet this sweet new puppy, Susie! She was born in March 2023. Although Susie is small for a rough collie, she is very athletic and can really run and jump - like a border collie! She may need to be in a home that has a good fence height. She loves to play tug and chase with her foster sister, and zoom around both inside and outside. Susie is also very interested in runners that pass by, so she may enjoy the chance to go running with her future new family. She is curious about new people, and has met people of all ages and genders, as well as cats and dogs of various sizes with no problem. Susie seems to enjoy both cats and dogs, eager to play with them. But she knows to back off if the other animals let her know that they are not interested. She is still too thin to be spayed, but will be as soon as she gains a little more weight. She is doing well with her housetraining, learning to do bathroom breaks outside about five times throughout the day. Susie enjoys getting at least three walks a day, and is doing fantastic walking on a leash! She wears a harness and walks nicely along with her foster sister, stopping to sniff and explore on her own. She will stop and watch when she sees something unusual, and she doesn’t seem to like sounds that are unfamiliar to her – such as drilling tools or leaf blowers. Susie is learning polite behaviors, such as learning to sit and wait at gates and doors nicely. If we say, “Uh-oh,” she understands that means, “No.” She can be a bit vocal. She is also learning to sit quietly for treats in the presence of an unfamiliar dog. She happily eats meals in her crate, and is leaning to sit politely for the door to be opened before leaving. She will also sleep in her crate at night. Overall, Susie could live in almost any situation, but an active person or couple without kids or other pets may be her ideal forever home, so that her adopters can spend lots of time with her and take her to interesting places!If you are interested in rescuing a collie, please complete this short adoption questionnaire.
