About Alder

Alder is basically the dog version of an introvert. Quiet, gentle, low-key, and completely content doing his own thing, he is one of the easiest and lowest-maintenance dogs I have ever had in the rescue out of hundreds of dogs. | Around a year old, Alder was originally labeled as a pit bull mix at the shelter when he was younger, but now that he is older it is obvious he looks much more like a Border Collie mix. | Alder is wonderful with other dogs of all sizes and also great with cats. He peacefully coexists with everyone but honestly doesn't care much about joining the chaos or constantly playing. He prefers to quietly exist nearby and observe the world at his own pace. | He is shy and hesitant with new people at first, but there is not an ounce of aggression in him. He is simply a soft, sensitive dog who takes a little time to feel comfortable. | Once he settles in, Alder is incredibly easy to live with. He is not demanding, not hyper, not loud, and not needy. He is the type of dog who quietly becomes part of your daily life without bringing chaos into it. | Good fit: someone looking for a calm, quiet, low-maintenance companion who does not need constant stimulation or activity to be happy. | Apply: https://form.jotform.com/82677586784176 | Location: Oklahoma; all adoptions are completed via transport to approved out-of-state adopters. | Process: adoption is finalized prior to transport; if it doesn't work out (rare), we take our dogs back. | Health: fully vetted. | Fee: $450 (includes transport + vetting). | Bonus: 30-minute trainer consult included. | Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, MD, NY, NJ, VT. | Desiderata Rescue - Oklahoma Licensed Rescue #95.
