Purple Allium is a sweet, mischievous puppy who approaches life with fearless enthusiasm despite being deaf and vision impaired. She's endlessly curious, always exploring, and somehow manages to find herself in the funniest situations. This clever, busy girl would thrive in a home ready to keep her Border Collie brain engaged with training, enrichment, and adventure. She would likely excel at trick training or scent work, and she already enjoys settle work and learning tactile cues. Purple Allium crates well overnight, rides calmly crated in the car, and is doing beautifully with house training. Affectionate, playful, goofy, and full of confidence, Purple Allium is looking for an active home committed to continuing her positive reinforcement training.
Ideal Home
Purple Allium would love a canine buddy and a fenced yard where she can romp, investigate, and keep life entertaining.
Ongoing Health
Puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing, and monthly heartworm preventative are required and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter.
Training & Support
Because she explores the world through touch and scent, she can be a little mouthy and overly enthusiastic when excited. Positive reinforcement training with Wags is required as a condition for all adoptions. Preference will be given to adopters who commit to signing up for and completing our six-week Canine 101 training class in person at our headquarters in Troy, VA. Secondary consideration will be given to a limited number of out-of-area adopters who agree to complete one private lesson with Wags, either in person or virtually, and attend a pre-approved positive reinforcement training class in their area.
