My story

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

🐕 🐕 BUN #AVAILABLE Male Border collie mix approximately 3 ½ months, 16 pounds – for more pictures please click https://norcalbcrescue.org/available-dogs/our-dogs/ 🐕 🐕

BUN is a tricolor smooth coat border collie mix that weighs in at about 16 pounds. He is black and white with tan highlights. One of four brothers (two adopted and doing very well in their new homes), he started out the reserved, cautious member of the Hot Dog Boys, but has really blossomed. He wants attention, wants to be petted, and especially wants to be picked up, or climb on your lap, to be given hugs and pets. BUN is a lover whose happy place is sitting on his foster mom’s lap while we watch TV. Smart and observant, he is beginning to understand the commands “sit” and “crate.” He does well with his siblings and the adult dogs in the house. He mostly ignores our cats. BUN sometimes takes note of their presence but felines should not present a problem.

BUN (very similar to brother MUSTARD, also available) enjoys romping around, playing tug, and chewing on toys. His house and crate training are progressing well. He settles nicely in his crate for meals and down time, but then that puppy exuberance takes over and all bets are off. Walk by and he perks up, sitting and watching to see if it’s time to eat or go out. Get the food bowls out and he KNOWS what time it is. Open the back door, open the crate doors, and out he heads for the great outdoors. He love treats. When the treat jar is shaken, BUN responds enthusiastically to what is coming next. He also enjoys praise, both of which should make training a blast.

BUN would benefit from a dog mentor in the home to show him the way and help build his confidence, but with proper attention he will be fine in as an only dog. BUN is looking for activities like nosework, agility, or Treibball that stimulate the mind and exercise the body. The more activities the better, and the stronger the bond that will be built. If you are looking for a fun-loving, adorable, young boy to include in all your family activities, you have come to the right place.

BUN is current on vaccinations, as well as heartworm and flea/tick prevention. He is microchipped. As a condition of puppy adoption, he will need to be neutered when he reaches approximately 6 months (specific time to be determined by your vet). In addition to the adoption fee, puppy adoption requires a $75 neuter deposit. Upon our receiving the neuter certificate from you, the deposit is refunded.
