Chou Chou, also called Charlie, is a 5-year-old tri-color Border Collie packed with energy and brains. Always ready for a game, he’ll play with balls, discs, or sticks—two at a time if he can. He’s happiest when in motion and really thrives with an owner who understands the breed and can match his high energy. When play winds down, Chou Chou is a complete softie. He’ll lean in for hugs, belly rubs, or simply rest at your feet. He loves people and wants to be near them, but he should be the only dog in the home. Chou Chou would do well with older or dog-savvy children. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and adores car rides. Treats are a highlight, and he’s learning well for food rewards, though he has shown some resource guarding around food. Walks are enjoyable for him, and he’s working on better leash manners. Chou Chou is neutered, vaccination current, and microchipped. He’s looking for an active, breed-experienced home where he can settle in as the center of attention. He’s currently being fostered near Waynesville but is listed in Columbia, MO. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
