Meet Darby!
This spirited seven-and-a-half-year-old Border Collie's joyful personality shines as brightly as his handsome tricolor coat. After the heartbreaking loss of his beloved pet parent, this boy is looking for a new loving home where he can continue sharing the boundless enthusiasm and companionship that make him so special. Weighing about 49 pounds, Darby greets each day with excitement, especially if a tennis ball is involved. For Darby, there is nothing better than an energetic game of fetch, and his favorite trick is returning the ball straight to your hand, ready for the next throw with a happy wag and eager smile! He is a high-energy companion who thrives when he has plenty of opportunities to run, play, and spend time with the people he loves. Whether it is a trip to the park, a game in the backyard, or simply sharing an active afternoon together, he is happiest when he can be part of the fun. He knows the command "sit," comes when called, and relaxes well when left alone for short periods, making him an easy companion once he has enjoyed his daily exercise.
Ideal Home
Darby would thrive in an active family, couple, or single adult who has the time and energy to make him a true playmate. Because Darby is an impressive jumper, he needs a securely fenced yard with a six-foot fence to keep him safe while he stretches his legs. His experience with cats and young children has been limited, so slow, thoughtful introductions will help everyone feel comfortable.
Ongoing Health
Darby is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on his vaccinations.
Training & Support
Darby is crate trained and house-trained. He enjoys living alongside other dogs and would likely do well with another active canine friend who enjoys playtime. Loud noises, thunderstorms, and fireworks can make him anxious, and a calm, reassuring caregiver helps him feel secure during those moments. Monthly brushing, an occasional bath, and dental chews keep him looking and feeling his best.
