Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in Corvallis, Oregon

Hi, I'm Toby-and my motto is: I can't see you, but I love you.

I'm a 7-8 year old, 26 lb. (mini) Border Collie mix (maybe Beagle??) with a big heart and a lot of resilience. I was found on MLK Blvd in Portland, blind, underweight and struggling. Not long after, I had to have my eyes removed due to painful glaucoma. But I've healed well, and I'm learning how to navigate the world in my own way.

I'm incredibly smart. I've already mapped out my foster home, I come when called (at home), and I sit like a pro-especially if treats are involved. I'm eager to learn and very motivated by food and praise. I just need someone patient to help me build confidence and boundaries.

I love people. I bond quickly, greet you with full-body wiggles, and want to be near my humans (but I'm not underfoot all the time). At home, I'm playful, affectionate, and happiest when I'm part of the action.

Outside can still be scary for me. Since I can't see, I react to sounds like barking dogs or nearby people-it can feel overwhelming. I'll need an understanding adopter, ideally someone with blind dog experience, who can help me feel safe and supported. I may also do well with a calm, confident dog friend to help guide me.

I enjoy tug toys, bones, Kongs, and cozy naps (especially on the couch). I sleep in my own bed at night and take daily meds to help with this new life.

What I need most is someone patient, kind, and willing to see my potential.

Because even though I can't see you... I will love you with everything I have.
