Meet Kip: The Border Collie Who Didn't Read the Border Collie Manual If your idea of a perfect Saturday involves sleeping until noon and binge-watching TV, Kip respectfully suggests you keep scrolling. But if you're looking for a running buddy, hiking partner, or someone to guilt you into actually sticking to that 'I'm training for my first 10K' promise... Kip has already laced up her imaginary running shoes. At around a year old and 30 pounds (she could stand to gain a few more), Kip is all enthusiasm. She'll happily chase, run, explore, and make sure life never gets boring. Now, Border Collies are rumored to be among the smartest dogs on the planet. I'm not saying Kip is questioning that statistic... but let's just say she's currently earning a solid B student status. She has plenty of enthusiasm, occasionally skips the homework, and sometimes gets distracted by her own feet. Fortunately, she's incredibly eager to please, which counts for a lot. Speaking of Border Collie things... yes, the herding instinct is alive and well. When I throw a ball for my Shepherd mix, Kip immediately appoints herself Assistant Herding Manager and tries to direct traffic by gently nipping at his heels. He couldn't care less because BALL, but she'd do best with someone who understands the breed and can give that busy brain and body an appropriate job. The good news? She's incredibly sweet. Kip is generous with kisses, loves the other dogs in my home, ignored both my foster kittens and barn cat after a quick sniff, and sleeps quietly through the night in her crate. She's also making great progress with her house training and leash manners. Kip isn't looking for someone who wants the easiest dog. She's looking for someone who wants a dog they'll have adventures with. The person who smiles when the trail gets longer, who doesn't mind a little dirt on their shoes, and who knows that life is simply more fun with a slightly goofy Border Collie by their side. Kip is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and ready to find her forever adventure partner. Apply here https://www.centraltexasruffugees.org/copy-of-foster
