November 2018 Update from Lori's Foster Home:
Lori is a work in progress. She is slowly starting to trust people that she sees everyday. Lori will not go close to them, but now she also will not run away or just shut down and lay there. Lori does not do well in a car and drools a lot, but that also has been getting better very slowly. Lori goes to the dog park every day and that has helped her be more social towards dogs and people. At the park, Lori tries to herd the other dogs. As of now, she doesn’t play fetch or anything like that, but I think that will change. Lori is an active puppy and needs a lot of exercises to wear her down; if she gets bored, she does start to chew what is in front of her. Lori would benefit from canine activities such as herding, agility, fly-ball, nose work, anything to get her to use up the energy she has. Lori needs to be in a home with NO cats.
Meet Hattie, Lori , Bryce, Brock, and Lance. These pups' date of birth is 2/1/18 and they are all purebred with smooth coats. They are also registered with the American Border Collie Association. This litter was an accidental breeding, and were surrendered to BCIN on 7/14/18.
2 Females: Lori is Black & White, and Hattie is Tri-Color.
3 Males: Bryce is Tri-Color, and Lance and Brock are Black & White
These pups were very undersocialized upon entering our program. They did not walk on a leash, and were very weary of people. They are still skittish , but they do warm up to you, and they are coming around really well. They love romping around with JJ, another BCIN foster, and would be best placed with another dog. These pups are definately diamonds in the rough, and their training will need to start at square one. They have so much potential and their confidence will blossom under the right tutelage.
It is important to socialize these pups to unfamilar spaces and to people, so they do not develop fear based phobias that are associated with this breed. They will require positive reinforcment obedience training, along with a patience owner. They are not housebroken, but do not potty in their kennels where they sleep at night.
Lance, Hattie, and Bryce are the most active and may do well in canine sports activities. Brock and Lori are a bit more subdued. But, all are very active adolescent pups who will need consistent activity and daily exercise.
Only applicants that have experience in raising a herding breed pup will be considered.
Adopters must be committed to work with the destruction and energy associated with raising a puppy, along with housebreaking accidents. As with all puppies, socialization and puppy obedience classes are a must. This will ensure that you will have an outgoing, socialized, well behaved, and well adjusted adult dog in your family.
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 |
