Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Pip!

Pip is a handsome three-year-old, 60-pound boy who was rescued from a high-intake rural shelter and is now settling into foster care. While he's still new to his foster home, he has already shown what a sweet and affectionate dog he is.

Pip has been doing well going to the restroom outside and enjoys exploring a fenced yard. He will also walk on a leash as his foster family continues learning his routine and helping him settle into a new schedule.

At the shelter, Pip did amazing in playgroups and showed he is social and comfortable with dogs of all sizes. In foster care, he has also done well meeting both a fellow foster Boxer and the resident Jack Russell.

Like many dogs coming from a shelter environment, Pip may need a day or two to settle into a new home and learn the routine. Giving him a little time to decompress, keeping a consistent schedule, and offering gentle reassurance will help him feel comfortable. Once he settles in, his affectionate and goofy personality really shines.

Pip absolutely loves being close to his people. He'll happily curl up beside you for pets, gently rest his head on your shoulder, and is very generous with sweet kisses. If you're looking for a loyal companion who just wants to be near you, Pip may be your perfect match.

Pip is ready to leave shelter life behind and start his next chapter with a family of his own.

Pip tested positive for Lyme disease. He is currently healthy and receiving any necessary care under the guidance of his veterinarian. Being Lyme positive doesn't stop him from enjoying walks, playtime, or cuddles-he can live a full, happy life with proper care.

Pip is currently fostered in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. His adoption fee is $275.00.

To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
