Story
I received Gunner as a birthday gift from my kids! I was diagnosed with MS and thought I was able to take care of him! He's very spoiled and I think i'm doing him more harm than good seeing as how I'm in an apartment! He needs to have a yard or alot of acreage to run around! He's not an apartment dog! I care so much for him, I look at him when we are walking by ourselves and he loves it! I always have him on leash when there is no fences, because he or I think he has no recall! But when we go to the dog park he doesn't leave my side! It takes him a minute to warm up to others dogs mainly because he's afraid. When he was a puppy he was afraid of everything! He is leash aggressive and we are trying to work on that but he is too strong for me so I don't walk him on leash around other dogs! I have an electric shock collar for him, but I dont like to use it if I don't have to! I hope that his new owner would love him as much as I do!

Story
Murphy is a beautiful Border Collie with a huge heart and a deep desire to bond with his people. He is incredibly affectionate, loyal, and thrives on connection and routine. Once he trusts you, he is devoted and happiest when he is close by, whether that means following you from room to room, relaxing at your feet, or soaking up gentle attention. He does best in a home that understands working dogs and can provide structure, consistency, and mental stimulation. Murphy would be happiest as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up one on one attention and not have to share space or resources. He has struggled in the past with marking. He is sensitive and thrives in an environment that is calm, predictable, and routine oriented. Murphy has a few repetitive or self soothing behaviors that are best supported with routine, enrichment, and gentle guidance. Murphy would shine in a home that can offer patience, continued training, and a peaceful environment where he can feel secure.
