My story

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

Border Collie mix male puppy

Spot is still looking for his forever home. This young border collie is very sweet and energetic (but not BC psychotic like many).

Here are all the things Spot’s fosters love about him and you will too:

He wags not only his tail, but his ENTIRE BODY when you enter the room (even if you've only been gone for 2 min).
Takes treats out of your hand extremely gently
Sleeps quietly through the whole night
Recalls very well with a whistle or calling his name (see video)
Responds very well to simple behavior correction
Zero resource guarding
Follows cues from resident dog very very well
House broken
Plays really well with other dogs, or his pile of toys.
Loves pets, belly rubs, and all forms of attention.
Hesitant at first, but he learns very quickly to enjoy new experiences. Has never shown any signs of fear-based agression or reactivity.

Spot is located in Templeton, CA. He is 10 months old. Microchipped, neutered, and UTD on vaccines.

More about this rescue

Central Coast Herding Dog Rescue is a Rescue Alliance partner, a federally recognized 501(c)3 non profit organization dedicated to finding great dogs great homes. County of San Luis Obispo Animal Service Operating Permit #C2649

Central Coast Border Collie Rescue (CCHDRescue) is dedicated to helping find homes for Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, Australian Cattle Dog/Queensland Heeler, Australian Kelpie, and other herding breeds and mixes. This site lists dogs in shelters as well as dogs in homes and foster care, and is intended to help adopters seeking good dogs, and dogs seeking loving homes. 7

Why we do it: Herding dogs are not for every one. Too many adopters get these dogs as status symbols only to find out, their life style doesn't meet these high energy dogs needs. As a result, these wonderful misunderstood dogs wind up in shelters. We understand what drives these dogs, we can place them appropriately.
Our mission is to educate people and save dogs. We do it because we love these dogs, with a little effort, can give them a good new life. Euthanasia is not the solution to our animal overpopulation issue. Education is.
