Story
Meet Dez – the world’s sweetest over-excited greeter, professional snuggler, and border-collie-brained sidekick looking for his forever home! 🤍🐾Dez is settling in beautifully. He just got back from a long road trip and was a great traveler. He’s showing us more of his true personality every day: joyful, sensitive, eager, wildly affectionate, and clearly loved and trained by someone in his past. Dez is crate- and house-trained, and knows sit, down, touch, off/leave it, and spin in circles. Dez listens and wants to please. Dez fetches like a champ and loves balls and frisbees the best. Dez wants to be close to his people, is developing excellent recall, and has a promising future as an off-leash adventure candidate. 🌟 What Makes Dez SpecialBorder Collie Energy in Full Force:** He’s an active, intelligent boy who thrives when he has a job to do or an adventure to join. If you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a running partner, a frisbee fetcher, or a “help with every chore” shadow… Dez is your guy.Champion Snuggler:** Sit still, and he’ll melt right into you. He *lives* for closeness.Happy, Social Butterfly:** Dez LOVES people—especially kids—but his enthusiastic greetings (think: paws first! wiggle-body! big feet everywhere!) might be too much for small children. Older kids? He’ll adore them.Cat-Friendly:** He’s polite and appropriate with feline friends.Dog-Friendly** Loves to play and takes correction well from other dogs when he is being a little too excited. Crate Trained:** He settles great in a crate, though he’s made it clear he doesn’t want to spend all day in one. Fair enough, buddy.Great Recall:** On a long line, he walks beautifully and checks in constantly. He’s not a flight risk and should be a wonderful off-leash partner once fully bonded.🏡 Dez’s Ideal HomeAn active household that appreciates an active, smart, affectionate working-breed dog. Someone who will guide him as he continues to learn polite greetings and channel all that joyful energy. If you love a dog who loves you back 200%, Dez will make your heart explode.If you think Dez might be the missing piece in your family, reach out—he’s ready to be someone’s loyal sidekick for life. 💙🐶We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.
