John - Border Collie and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Bend, Oregon

John is a super sweet approximately 3-month-old Border Collie/Lab mix who is showing a mellow energy and personality. He is very gentle and greets new people and dogs in a relaxed way. John is very affectionate and loves snuggles and belly rubs once he has had a chance to meet a person a time or two. He is going to be a dog who will bond closely to his person.

John is being crate trained and potty trained and is doing great. He seems to like the crate routine and self-selects to take his naps in the crate when he can. He has practiced on the leash a couple times and does not really get it yet. But then, he is only 3 months old and, as with any pup, will need further training. He has been quick to learn to come when called, go into his crate, and is learning to sit. He is very motivated by food and responds to positive feedback. With all these attributes his training should be a breeze. John has a good nose for sniffing out toys and treats and has been able to find things all over the house both high and low – can we say scent work for this pup?

He has met the foster’s cat and wants to play but has been respectful. He is not a barker; verbal communication has been through a few puppy whines.

John weighed 21 lb at 10 weeks, so he will be fairly large when full grown. He is being fostered in the Hood River, Oregon. He has been wormed, microchipped, and has had his first set of vaccinations The adoption fee is $400. If you are interested in adopting John and are pre-approved, please contact the adoption team at hunahapps@gmail.com. If you are not already pre-approved, you can fill out an application here:
