Blondie is a goofy, affectionate 3-year-old Border Collie with the biggest toothy grin. She wakes up smiling every morning and somehow manages to make every day a little more fun. If you want a dog full of personality, love, and energy, Blondie is your girl. She's incredibly smart and knows sit, stay, down, recall, leave it, place, and even how to smile. She has also tried agility and absolutely loved it. Blondie is very much a Border Collie times ten – always thinking, always moving, and always ready to be part of whatever you're doing. She's been around people of all ages and is incredibly loving once she knows you. Blondie is fully vetted and ready for her next chapter. She's being returned through no fault of her own and is now looking for a foster or forever family who will love her goofy grin, smarts, and her dog-friendly, playful personality.
Ideal Home
Blondie prefers a calm, peaceful home environment overall. Too much chaos or constant activity can stress her out. She would do best with dogs who enjoy playful, active companions and a home without cats. While she enjoys playing with older kids, especially ages 9+, younger running children may trigger her instinct to herd, so a home with older children would be ideal.
Ongoing Health
Blondie is fully vetted and has no known ongoing health conditions.
Training & Support
Blondie is very dog friendly and loves having canine buddies to play with. She is submissive if another dog corrects her and has never been in an altercation, but her herding instincts can definitely annoy some dogs, especially smaller ones who may feel overwhelmed by her intensity. Inside the home, she can initially be barky or a little nippy with strangers, but with treats, a leash, and a little patience, she warms up quickly. Like many Border Collies, Blondie used to have an interest in chasing bikes and cars. She has made a lot of progress with training and mostly ignores them now, but she still needs supervision in environments with fast-moving wheels.
