My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This young lad is Chase. He came to WBCR from a Montana shelter, and he’s got a personality to match his ears. A big goofy grin pops onto his face any time a leash comes out or he gets a good scratch from his human friends. Chase has so many of those traits we love about the breed: he’s athletic and bright, sensitive, physically capable and loves to join his people on outdoor adventures. While he can be a little unsure and shy around new people, he is sweetly affectionate with his people. He’s great with other dogs and enjoys running and playing with them. He’s not possessive with food or toys but he can be insistent about getting another dog to play. He can be a little herdy with other dogs or chickens; cats are an unknown. Chase is a tall, leggy young border collie who loves to run after a ball or with another dog. He’s easily distracted though and will break up the game for a splash in a puddle (he’s a water dog – no puddle is safe from him!), a new toy, or to examine a bug in the air or on the ground. Chase would do best in a home that could give him the exercise he needs – he’s on the higher energy end of the spectrum and will need a good chunk of vigorous exercise daily.

Chase is housetrained, crate trained, has a good recall and loves wandering around the backyard. He will need some help learning how to walk well on a leash; once he’s got that, he’ll be a great running buddy. He’ll also need adopters who can work to focus his energy and who can help build his confidence out in the world. Chase is fast and can run forever, so with some work building his comfort and an appropriate behavior around bikes (and certain other things that many BCs find very arousing), he could be a great mountain bike partner as well.

All in all, Chase is a happy and sweet young Border Collie who is ready to join family of his own on outdoor adventures. If you are looking for a potential-filled boy with a smile that can light up a room, Chase may be the one for you!

Currently fostered in SLC, UT
