Keller is a sweet, snuggly young Border Collie, somewhere between 1 and 3 years old, who’s figuring out the world beyond a backyard. He’s open and social with people and gets along well with adult dogs of various temperaments in his foster home. Keller is fully housetrained, crate trained, and working steadily on his basic obedience skills. He entertains himself with snuffle mats, interactive treat training, and loves chasing after tossed toys—even if he’s more into the chase than returning them. He’s not been introduced to cats, children, or small dogs, and he tends to get laser-focused on squirrels outside, so careful introduction to smaller animals will be important. Keller’s years as a backyard dog mean leashes and collars are new to him; he still spins and resists at first, though once the leash is on, he walks calmly. However, he’s easily overstimulated by passing cars and critters, making quiet walks and calm environments a better fit while he continues to learn. Training for both leash skills and reactivity to distractions is ongoing. If your home is peaceful and you have the time to help Keller adapt at his own pace, he could be the perfect addition. He’d also do well with a calm, non-reactive dog who can show him the ropes. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
