Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in Bend, Oregon

MEET RUEGER – An active dog looking for adventure!
Are you looking for a dog with a fun, playful personality and a little bit of quirky charm. Rueger’s the kind of dog that will make you smile. He’s affectionate in his own way and absolutely loves a good belly rub—he’ll happily position himself right over your feet to make sure you don’t forget.

Rueger is a three-year-old (April 3, 2023), black and white Border Collie, weighing 60 lbs. He knows basic commands like sit and down, has some experience on a leash, and is eager to please. He is housebroken. He’s an active dog who enjoys playtime and would thrive in a home where he can burn off energy and be engaged. Rueger is looking for someone who will make him the center of their world. He has so much personality and loyalty to give, and he will do best with someone committed to continuing his training and giving him structure.

RUEGER DOES WELL WITH:
• Other dogs – He has been around other herding dogs and enjoys playing.
• Kids – He has been around kids from 6 years old to teens and has done well with all.
• Adults – He will alert bark but then is very friendly when people come in. He has never shown aggression to humans.

RUEGER IS UNKNOWN WITH:
• Cats – There are barn cats at his current home, but he has not been given access to them. Given his issues with livestock, we would have concern about cats.

RUEGER DOES NOT DO WELL WITH:
• Livestock – IMPORTANT – Rueger and his littermate are known to have killed three lambs, on separate occasions. We will not place Rueger in any home with livestock.
