Blondie - Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Salem, Oregon

- Foster or Adopt Blondie -

Blondie is a goofy, affectionate 3 year old Border Collie with the biggest toothy grin. She wakes up smiling every morning and somehow manages to make every day a little more fun. If you want a dog full of personality, love, and energy, Blondie is your girl.

Shes incredibly smart and knows sit, stay, down, recall, leave it, place, and even how to smile. Shes also tried agility and absolutely loved it. Blondie is very much a Border Collie times ten always thinking, always moving, and always ready to be part of whatever youre doing.

Blondie is very dog friendly and loves having canine buddies to play with. Shes submissive if another dog corrects her and has never been in an altercation, but her herding instincts can definitely annoy some dogs, especially smaller ones who may feel overwhelmed by her intensity. She would do best with dogs who enjoy playful, active companions.

While Blondie is energetic and playful, she prefers a calm, peaceful home environment overall. Too much chaos or constant activity can stress her out.

Shes been around people of all ages and is incredibly loving once she knows you. Inside the home she can initially be barky or a little nippy with strangers, but with treats, a leash, and a little patience she warms up quickly. She enjoys playing with older kids, especially ages 9+, though younger running children may trigger her instinct to herd.

Like many Border Collies, Blondie used to have an interest in chasing bikes and cars. She has made a lot of progress with training and mostly ignores them now, but she still needs supervision in environments with fast-moving wheels.

A cat-free home would be best because Blondie has a tendency to chase.

Blondie is fully vetted and ready for her next chapter. Shes being returned through no fault of her own and is now looking for a foster or forever family who will love her goofy grin, smarts, and her dog-friendly, playful personality.
