My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Bug is an approximately 8 month old border collie.  She is so well behaved it's easy to forget she's still a puppy!   (But she does remind us every once in a while when we catch her with a shoe or glove or other clothing item.) 

She's housebroken and leash trained, knows sit and is currently working on some additional commands.  Her crate training is also still a work in progress but she does stay quiet most of the night now and will go in willingly for a treat most of the time. 

Bug loves to play with toys and also enjoys games of chase, tag and tug with her foster siblings.  She was named by her previous owner and I think it must be short for "Snugglebug" because she is the best cuddling and napping buddy! 


Bug is what's called a double merle (offspring of 2 merles bred together).  This often results in deafness and or blindness but luckily she missed that genetic result.  Due to her very light colored eyes, and low pigment she may be sensitive to being out in the sun for long periods but otherwise is a happy healthy young girl! 

Bug will need a fenced yard to keep her safe and would enjoy a playful canine sibling.

Bug is being fostered in the Springfield, MO area.
