Meet Cedar, a 1-year-old female Border Collie mix with a beautiful black and white coat. Cedar is an energetic girl who thrives in outdoor settings, making her well-suited for an active home, farm, or ranch. She can be a bit independent, and while she may seem nervous around newcomers, she forms deep bonds with her humans over time, especially if they have confidence. Cedar enjoys the company of other dogs and will likely flourish with a playful canine companion. Just keep in mind that her herding instincts may surface during play, which might not appeal to all dogs. She has a playful spirit, so you’ll often find her zooming around your yard, stashing toys, and keeping herself entertained—though too much alone time can lead her into mischief. She is house trained and sleeps quietly in her crate, provided she’s had adequate exercise. Cedar isn’t a noisy dog, preferring to keep her barking to a minimum. Although she’s doing well with her recall, it’s best when she doesn’t feel pressured. Cedar is not the best fit for families with children or cats due to her herding behavior. She has not yet been exposed to other farm animals but may be inclined to chase if given the chance. Currently, Cedar is fostered in Bend, OR, and weighs 32 pounds. She is up to date on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. If you think Cedar could be the perfect addition to your home, apply today!
