Story
Hi, I’m Pete. For MY sake, consider adopting me!
I am a ten-year old, male border collie mix. I LOVE life and am a very fun loving and loyal dog, and I absolutely LOVE to be with my people.
While I do love humans, it can take me a little while to trust new people even though I really, really want to be everybody’s BFF eventually. So my new owner will have to give me the time and space to make introductions and to not rush me.
Busy, hectic environments like the shelter, police stations, or veterinary offices make me a little bit defensive but when approached with respect to my privacy I am a good boy and deal with it well.
I love car rides and being out in the countryside . In spite of my age I am a high energy dog but will settle down in the house. I am smart too. I have a decent recall, am house trained and crate trained, I ride well in the car, I like cats, and I like dogs that are not overly dominant or too wild. I would be an awesome only dog but I would be okay with another friendly dog in the family also. I am not a good fit for small children, horses, or cattle.
I am not a ball or toy playing dog, but if you want a super snuggly border collie, I am the dog for you! One thing to note is before I was picked up and taken to the shelter, I was a stray dog that ran and ran and hurt my paw pads. They are tender and scarred in places. So my adopter has to be mindful of keeping me off of jagged, rocky, or hot surfaces. And keeping me from running too far at one time. I’m okay with the pasture and even dirt as long as it doesn't have sharp rocks.
Pete is presently being fostered in Southeastern Oregon. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He has also just had a full dental cleaning! DNA testing has been sent with results still forthcoming. Pete’s adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in adopting Pete and are pre-approved, please contact the adoption team at hunahapps@gmail.com. If you are not already approved, you can fill out an application here:
