Biscuits, Border Collie, 10 years old, Spayed Female, Approx. 70 lbs, but needs to lose weight
Imagine being a type A work-a-holic, a caretaker whose sole job is to oversee a loved one day in and day out. You take your job very serious. It gives you a sense of purpose and a sense of pride. Now imagine being let go, for reasons outside of your control and understanding, it just isn't the right job for you anymore... can you feel that confusion, the upheavel really, and truly missing not only the work, but also the person you loved dearly and felt responsible for. Wow, that shift would almost be too much to bare. And that is exactly what sweet Biscuits is going through.
What Biscuits doesn't yet understand is this new place, with all of these seemingly nice people and other dogs, is just a short blip in time, a stepping stone to a new kind of life where she gets to be the one taken care of. She will get to relax, let someone else care for her and just be a dog. But Biscuit;s doesn't know that yet so she's a bit unsure still. Each day she settles in a little more and shows her sweet side with kisses and invitations for play. She loves to be near you, LIVES to play with a ball, and enjoys dips in the pool (whether it be full sized or kiddie sized, she isn't picky). Biscuits in true to her breed, she can't just give up her need to work entirely, and she will need a family who understands the drive of a Border Collie and can come up with creative ways to keep her busy while respecting that her body is feeling her age.
If you would like to learn more about Biscuits please reach out. We would love to get her back into a home as soon as possible.
