Meet Darby!
Darby is a spirited seven-and-a-half-year-old Border Collie whose 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!
Ideal Home
Darby is a high-energy companion who thrives when he has plenty of opportunities to run, play, and spend time with the people he loves. He needs a securely fenced yard with a six-foot fence to keep him safe while he stretches his legs, as he is an impressive jumper. He enjoys living alongside other dogs and would likely do well with another active canine friend who enjoys playtime. His experience with cats and young children has been limited, so slow, thoughtful introductions will help everyone feel comfortable. Loud noises, thunderstorms, and fireworks can make him anxious, and a calm, reassuring caregiver helps him feel secure during those moments. Darby would thrive in an active family, couple, or single adult who has the time and energy to make him a true playmate.
Ongoing Health
Darby is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations. Monthly brushing, an occasional bath, and dental chews keep him looking and feeling his best.
Training & Support
Darby knows the command "sit," comes when called, and is crate trained and house-trained. He also relaxes well when left alone for short periods, making him an easy companion once he has enjoyed his daily exercise. A calm, reassuring caregiver helps him feel secure during moments of anxiety from loud noises, thunderstorms, and fireworks.
