Tom - Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Seymour, Indiana

Hi there, I'm Tom!

If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate puppy with a fantastic balance of playfulness and cuddles, I might just be your guy! I'm still a young pup learning the ropes, but I've already got a huge heart and a wonderful foundation.

About Me

* **People & Pets:** I love humans of all ages! I do great with other dogs (both big and small) and have a polite, submissive personality around canine friends. I've even been approved by dog-savvy cats!
* **Affectionate & Intuitive:** I love giving kisses, snuggling, and curling up in laps. Because of my sweet nature and natural intuition, my foster mom thinks I could be a wonderful candidate for therapy work once I grow up!
* **Energy & Vibe:** I have plenty of fun puppy energy, but I come with a great "off-switch." When play time is over, I'm more than happy to settle down and relax.

Good Manners & Daily Life

* **Crate & House Training:** I am crate trained and view my crate as my safe space—I never have accidents in it! I am mostly house-trained when kept on a reliable routine. I'm working on ringing bells to ask to go outside, and I wear belly wraps inside just "in case."
* **Walks & Rides:** I'm great on a leash, enjoy going for walks, and love taking car rides.
* **Toys & Food:** I love my toys and stick to chewing on them instead of household items. I'm a hearty eater with an iron stomach! I do like to eat a little fast, so I currently use a slow-feeder bowl.
* **Vocal & Prey Drive:** I have a normal puppy bark that I use during play or when I want your attention. My prey drive is low, though I do find geese pretty fascinating!

Still Learning

I'm still a baby, so I'm actively practicing my recall, learning not to jump when excited, and working on signaling when I need to step outside. As long as you keep me on a schedule and take me out right away after saying words like "potty" or "outside," I do great!

*Note on Loud Noises:* I prefer to hang out in my safe spot when loud equipment like mowers or saws are running—I'm not terrified, but I'd rather sit those out indoors!

Medical & Next Steps

* **Neuter Date:** Scheduled for **August 4th**
