Story

I've had Nova her whole life. Since Jan 2025 she has not adjusted to our son being born. She has not adjusted that she is no longer the center of attention like our other two dogs have and is lashing out on the pack with fighting. She hasnt done well with our son like the others have that with his age in mind he is still learning to pet and be around a dog. She is a high anxiety dog and takes Trazodone daily to take a little of the edge off. She is very loving smart and loves to play fetch to the point she doesnt want to stop lol. She is currently on Gabapentin for her partial acl tears in back legs that happened a couple years back. With her pain meds the doctor said she's at a 4 of 10 pain daily and watching her play you'd never know for she out runs both weimaraners we have that are younger. I think she would thrive in a single dog household no compettion for attention and if around kids, kids that are older teenage state. Any questions dont hesitate to ask.

Mylo

Border Collie

Male, Senior

Painesville, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Mylo is a sweet senior Border Collie mix, a little over 11, who has the gentlest soul and a goofy charm that shows once he feels safe. He came from a hoarding situation but has grown into a calm, loving dog who enjoys treats, car rides, slow walks, and rolling in the grass. He’s great with kids and cats, does well at the vet and groomer, and mostly spends his days napping peacefully. Mylo is urine incontinent and wears reusable diapers, and I’ll provide plenty for his new home; he also has mild arthritis but is fully up‑to‑date on shots and vet care. I’m rehoming him due to job loss and financial strain, and my only hope is that someone with a patient heart can give him the quiet, comfortable retirement he deserves.
