🎨 Allow me to introduce you to the lovely Picasso, a masterpiece in the making! This one-year-old Border Collie is a gentle soul navigating a world that sometimes feels a tad too loud for his sweet disposition. Unlike your typical energetic Border Collie, Picasso is more of a soft observer; he finds refuge in cozy spots, like behind that favorite chair of yours or curled up in his kennel. But don’t mistake his quietness for antisocial behavior; oh no! He’s simply waiting for that special human who can speak his language and gently coax him out of his shell. 🌟 Now, let’s dive into Picasso’s highlights! When he’s out on a leash, he transforms into a brave explorer! The outdoors become his personal stage where he can explore the world, one adventurous sniff at a time. This boy is also a social butterfly, with a few boundaries. He’s friendly with other dogs and shows respect around cats—given they’re the calm type and don’t ignite his natural Border Collie instinct to chase! Picture the warm companionship he can offer—his gentle spirit means he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. Every wag of his tail and lean-in for affection feels like winning a gold medal in warmth! 🛠️ Now, here’s where the magic happens—a bit of a “work in progress.” Picasso is on the lookout for a human who can appreciate the beauty of nurturing a heart that’s a little fixer-upper. He’s currently learning: - Potty Training: This sweet boy needs a consistent routine to help him master this skill. - Trust Building: He needs a patient friend who knows that the best things in life come to those who wait. - The Great Escape: Picasso has developed a nifty skill for jumping fences, so he’ll need to be supervised during yard time or have a secure play area. 🏡 Now, let’s talk about Picasso’s perfect home. He is searching for a quiet, low-traffic household where he won’t be startled by loud noises or a parade of guests. The ideal human will be someone who is often home, ready to guide him through his fears and celebrate each little victory along the way. This lovely boy is currently being fostered in Heppner, Oregon, and his adoption fee is $400.
