Looking to rehome a 4 year old border collie mix. She is an absolute sweetheart. She is crate trained, potty trained, and will bark only when she needs to be let out to alert you. She is well-behaved and doesn’t destroy things in the house. She was adopted as our second dog, and we quickly discovered that she prefers to be the only pet in the house. She is not aggressive but becomes very stressed and anxious when our other animals are getting attention. She has done fine with our kids (ages 3-teen) and loves to snuggle and play. She is up to date on all vaccines, is spayed, and has a microchip. She would be happiest in a home with no other pets as well as owners who do not need to crate her for long periods of time. She would also love a bigger yard to run and fetch! She’s a lovely dog, she just isn’t happy living with our other animals, and we want her to find a home where she can relax and get all the attention!
We would include her crate, her favorite toys, and a bag of food.
