Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Nana. Nana is a 3 year old female tri-colored Border Collie with a semi rough coat. She is on the smaller side and weighs about 35 lbs. Nana was surrendered to BCIN with her sister, Sassy. She comes from working stock, so she is all of what Border Collie enthusiasts expect in a dog. Nana didn't get much guidance where she was before. She is ready to learn obedience. She already has good recall.
Nana is a typical busy Border Collie. She will require an active home that will provide her with a job to do. Nana is smart, yet whimsical, and would be a good candidate for dog sports. Nana will need some work, so her person will need to be patient and persistent.
Nana is housetrained, walks well on a leash, and is well socialized with other dogs. She does like to play with her dog foster siblings. Nana can’t be placed as an only dog, as she needs a another dog to help keep her balanced. Nana will benefit from having another dog, one that is a confident dog. Therefore, we are looking for a home that already has another dog. Nana has been known to be protective of her place and people. Although she is very sweet, she will come to cuddle for a bit, and then she is off. She’s always looking for the action. Nana is ready for a home who can go slow. She is slow to warm up to strangers, and is a bit timid. However, she’s a total love with her own people. Therefore, she is not appropriate for a home with small kids This is a dog that is biddable and she has so much potential. However, she is not the dog for everyone. Nana will need a BC savvy person who thoroughly understands this breed, quirks and all. She would not be a candidate for the novice household.
She also goes into her crate, only if asked, and settles down until it's time to come out. Puppies aren't her favorite, but she is polite. The stimulus of the city wears on her, but will grow confident in a patient home in the country or suburbs. She is polite on the car and will learn that it's okay to be on a ride. Her new family should know how to manage that. Nana is a sweet, quirky, super smart girl who is ready to blossom in the right home.
If you are interested in meeting our dogs, please fill out an adoption application. We require a pre-approved application to be on file before any meet and greets are scheduled. The electronic application can be found on our website at http://www.bordercolliesinneed.org/border_collie_rescue_and_adoptions/adoption_application.html
