Cooper is a 2+ year old Border Collie, 47 pounds, neutered, vaccinated, and healthy! He was raised on a large, secluded property near Mexico where he mostly interacted only with the 2 humans who cared for him. He was not raised as a working dog. When illness prevented their ability to care for him, he joined BCRRT. He missed the adolescent window of socialization and his foster mom has been helping him learn that strangers are not a threat. He's made big progress and has a simple, special way he likes to be approached by strangers. It's easy really: no eye contact, and give him space until he makes the approach and asks for a pet! He is sensitive, smart and hyper vigilant…will need time to trust you…after you prove yourself he will show you just how special he is. He loves frisbees and balls and can learn any active job. During the day, he is your shadow. At night he's your cuddle on the couch dude. He can have a brother or sister but needs slow easy introductions. His groomer (who he knows well) said he didn't bother with her cats. No young children please. He doesn't need much just patience, calm and your love....in return he will be the best friend you have ever had forever. Please apply to adopt at bcrrt.com
