Cattle Dog and Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in Calgary, Alberta

Meet Crash!

Crash is exactly what you'd expect from a young border collie: wildly smart, energetic, hilariously chaotic, and somehow still an absolute cuddle bug all at once.

At only 18 months old, Crash approaches life at full speed. He loves running, wrestling with his dog friends, chasing balls, hunting for treats, and inventing games for himself. In fact, this clever boy literally taught himself how to throw his own ball when the humans were busy. Problem solving king.

Crash thrives on activity and mental stimulation. He already knows commands like sit, stay, come, and leave it, and picks up new skills incredibly quickly. He would absolutely love a home that enjoys training, adventure, games, and keeping an active dog busy and engaged.

Crash does wonderfully with other dogs and loves both roughhousing and cuddling with his canine friends. He's social, affectionate, and always wants to be part of the action. He also loves his humans deeply and is happiest when he gets to be included in daily life, preferably followed by couch cuddles and a nap to recharge for the next round of chaos.

He's fully house trained, quiet in the home, and surprisingly good at settling down... briefly... before he remembers he has Important Border Collie Business to attend to.

If you're looking for a dog who will keep you laughing, keep you moving, and probably outsmart you occasionally, Crash is ready to crash-land directly into your heart.
