Heart be still! ๐
Pokey is stirring up all of the feelings in our hearts. Like, do we really need to type every reason why you should pick him? Is this attentive expression not enough? Can you not feel the good vibes through those beautiful eyes staring directly into your soul? ๐ This 1 year old Border Collie is truly a divine being. Understand this and this alone: his personality is as magical as he appears, and you really don't want to sleep on this precious A N G E L. Pokey loves people, and he needs someone who can match his energy, which is, you guessed it, an insane amount. The drive in one lil' dog is truly remarkable, and even though we tend to get tired out significantly sooner than he does, the grind must continue for our fabulously agile and swift friend. ๐ซก He has no experience with livestock/working, so a spacious play yard where he can run, play with his jolly ball, and engage vigorously with his people is a must. He is also a firm believer in giving your bestie plenty of walkies, and let's be honest with ourselves... that face is kinda hard to say no to. ๐ฅฒ Long story short, humongous emphasis on: if you think you can shape this dog to be a couch potato, you are dead wrong, and he just isn't the one for you. Pokey deserves an experienced family who understands his breed and is devoted to his needs the same way he will devote himself to being your greatest entertainer. If you can agree to his terms and conditions, well, you're going to have the sweetest, funniest, and most impressive companion you will ever know. ๐ Pokey does great with most other dogs (if they can keep up, son!) and has done well meeting older kids. We haven't seen him with small kiddos, and he didn't do great on his cat test. BUT if you're an adventurous dog lover, then this guy was definitely made for you!
Don't forget to stop by the shelter any time during our open hours to meet the legend himself. He will be waiting. ๐
