COURTESY POSTING
One of our clients is looking to rehome their dog. “Sonny” is a 4.5 year old neutered male Border Collie. He is up to date on vaccinations and is microchipped. Sonny is very intelligent, eager to please, and an absolute love. Sonny completed a Board & Train Program with us and knows a wide variety of commands. Sonny loves running, going skiing, and playing tug! Sonny has a very high herding drive, which is currently causing distress for the young kids in his current home. An ideal home would only have adults and potentially older children. While Sonny currently lives with a cat and could probably learn to live with another, it would not be recommended for Sonny to live with a cat or other small animals as he is simply TOO focused on them. Sonny is tolerant of dogs, but not highly social. He has resource guarded food and toys with dogs in the past. Sonny does not resource guard with people. While Sonny loves people he knows, he can be nervous and reactive to strangers occasionally (worse with men).
Sonny will thrive in a home that keeps him busy with tasks (training, enrichment, exercise, etc.). Sonny may be a great candidate for herding trials or agility.
If you are interested in meeting Sonny, please reach out to Zelda’s Dog Academy and we will get you in contact with his current owners.
