Meet Nelson, a highly intelligent Border Collie with striking mismatched eyes. Nelson thrives on play, especially fetch, and never misses a chance to chase a ball or splash in water from the hose. He’s looking for an active, experienced adopter ready to put in the training work he needs. Nelson will do best in a single-family home—apartments or condos aren’t a match—with a spacious, fenced backyard where he can burn off energy to his heart’s content. He’s shown he can get along with some dogs and enjoys walks with volunteers, but Nelson does not do well with a constant flow of new people, so dog parks and daycares are not a good environment for him. Homes with kids or cats are not suitable, and FOHA will provide training coordination to any adopter ready to give Nelson the steady routine he needs. If you enjoy a smart, energetic companion and have the setup and mindset to give Nelson a great home, he just might be your perfect partner. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
