About Donny

Adoption Fee: $300
Border Collie
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

Donny is our 9 month old tri colored Border Collie pup. Full gown weight only 40 lbs! He is a super sweet friendly; vivacious; playful; smart and funny friendly teenager pup learning about life. He is not your sit down watch TV family pet and he isnt for anyone new to Border Collies or real world dog savvy. Donny would be super happy in an experienced training/ Border Collie fun home where he was engaging on walks, experiencing meeting new dogs and people, or taking training classes and going for a swim. He is very driven and requires obedience relationships in the home; using his tricks on walks to keep up mental stimulation and Ceaser Milan cue coaching for social situations with other dogs which he enjoys. This auditory boy also loves car rides and is easy to bath and brush. Donny likes to socialize with people but is a little hyper with children, we suggest only children 15 and up in a home. For a pup rescued from an apartment situation left out on a balcony and then being dumped in the complex we now see how this busy boy was easily misunderstood and what his needs are. Donny when given direction for tricks and leash work gives loads of eye contact is always up to try new things in his environment (bike ramps, playgrounds, slides). He is ball and toy driven and he loves to swim. Donnys build allows him to be very spry on his feet which his foster keeps him grounded with take/release using a tug toy. He would be a great candidate for future training in obedience, tricks, rally and taking all of his foundation and tricks to the street just like his foster does for leash walks and practice at home. Ah fulfiing a boys soul with a smile! Donny would like to have dog sibling relationships for fun time like bitey face and other games. But it can be overwhelming meeting dogs at a dog park and it enhances the resource guarding we are training with him. If you have doggie friends w pack walks and play dates that would best. Or in a home another female active dog that doesn't resource guard/compete for affection and or toys or ball and knows you're the pack leader. As you know there are always downfalls w teenager pups and he needs to stay with his commands for jumping and nipping and use a crate or x pen for down time. Donny is looking for the ideal Foster Home & Foster to Adopt Home looking for an on the go eager learner who craves the engagement on the leash and at home; dog training classes are required but of course he comes w a solid obedience foundation and sequence of tricks; swimming is a must for that release he craves and plenty of space to play fetch and varied games. A home that has a large yard with a 6 foot fence; no small dogs or cats or young children 15 +; work from home or a break during a long work day. Donnny is fully vetted; neutered; micro chipped to rescue/adopter. If you don't live in TX but it could his best home ever please apply but plan on making a TX trip to meet our special guy as he would do best knowing you before a huge life change. His adoption donation is $300 and there is an application to adopt, home visit if applicable; with meet and greets. Let's get this bright boy a fun future!!
