About Bada

Bada’s story started far from Northbrook, IL, but his optimism never faded. He survived a fractured front leg and an infection in sweltering Korean heat, underwent corrective surgery, and bounced back stronger than ever. Now fully recovered, Bada has the energy to spare and a full, exuberant spirit. He’s all about new faces, fast games of chase, and jumping into playtime with gusto. If you’ve got a playful dog at home, Bada will match their energy—and then some. He can overwhelm more laid-back dogs, so a lively canine companion is key. His friendly personality comes through immediately, and he quickly warms up to people. Bada is listed as a Border Collie mix and brings that breed’s spark and playfulness to everything. His foster says he seldom barks, is reliably housebroken, and shows no interest in stealing food—even when tempted. Once playtime is over, he’s calm and content to rest by your feet while you work. Leash manners are a work in progress, but he does well with a no-pull harness. Bada doesn’t get along with cats and is best in homes without young children. He’s looking for an active family that will let him fully embrace his second chance at life. Bada is an Aquarius, so expect a bold and quirky side! They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
