My story

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

Currently in a Toronto foster home

Alex is a Border Collie mix who was neglected by his previous owner before being rescued. Despite his traumatic past, he loves the company of people and has a friendly personality that gets along well with other dogs.

Alex loves to get close to people and will often gently beg for affection. He finds great joy in playing together with humans and enjoys receiving tasty treats. Because he enjoys human attention so much, he may occasionally show signs of jealousy towards other dogs. However, he is currently undergoing basic training at our facility, where he is proving to be a quick learner due to his intelligence.

Since Alex has never lived in a home environment, he will need house training. He may have accidents indoors while adjusting to his new surroundings, so patience and understanding will be essential. However, with a consistent schedule for outdoor potty breaks, he will adapt well.

Border Collies are highly intelligent and eager to learn, making them excellent candidates for training and bonding. With the right guidance, love, and care, Alex will grow into a well-mannered and devoted companion for life.
