Bobby - Border Collie and Retriever Dog for Adoption in Fort Collins, Colorado

Bobby is a 1 year old border collie mix. Sadly, his previous owners ran him over with an ATV and surrendered him at the ER since they couldn't pay for treatment. Bobby was lucky that one of our rescue foster parents was working that evening and our rescue was able to step in and save him. He needed a hind leg amputated, and had a broken toe on his other hind leg. He has since recovered from surgery and gets around great.

He loves his foster dog sibling and is doing well with his foster cat sibling, although he is interested in him and will probably do best with cats that send their ground and aren't scared of dogs. He is potty trained and kennel trained and walks well on leash. He is around 35 lbs.

Bobby is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.
