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! 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, is crate trained, house-trained, microchipped, neutered, and up to date on his vaccinations. He also relaxes well when left alone for short periods, making him an easy companion once he has enjoyed his daily exercise.
Ideal Home
Darby needs a securely fenced yard with a six-foot fence to keep him safe while he stretches his legs. 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.
Ongoing Health
Darby is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.
Training & Support
Darby is house-trained and crate-trained. He knows the command "sit" and comes when called. Loud noises, thunderstorms, and fireworks can make him anxious, and a calm, reassuring caregiver helps him feel secure during those moments.
