Meet Blacky. This black and white beauty is a female year old traditionally marked Border Collie. She was an owner surrender to our rescue program. Blacky is a really nice dog and likes people and other dogs. She has canine Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and it is our opinion that she needs a quiet place to learn how to focus. We believe that once she establishes a bond with her person and learns a little focus she will be awesome. Blacky is a soft dog who needs someone who is knowledgeable about OCD in BCs and positive reinforcement training making obedience (or trick training) a game, absent of traditional harsh corrections. She would do really well with someone who knows how to use positive reinforcement and games to help her be more focused and confidence. She will not do well with harsh corrections.
Blacky's former home said she was good in the house and she got along with kids. She wants to form a close bond with her person. Blacky is a busy dog and really needs a job to do. She loves to play ball and comes and drops it right in your lap. It would be fair to say that Blacky requires a home that is structured with daily consistent exercise and daily mental stimulation. Blacky would not make a good dog who is left all day long to her own devices, which will only worsen her OCD tendencies. She will not be happy in a backyard watching life go by her. Blacky is a wonderful dog and will be an awesome and loyal canine companion for a person who loves and understands some of the "quirks" of this breed.
If you are interested in meeting our dogs, please fill out an adoption application. We require a pre-approved application to be on file before any meet and greets are scheduled. The electronic application can be found on our website at http://www.bordercolliesinneed.org/border_collie_rescue_and_adoptions/adoption_application.html
