About Champ

Champ is a striking red Border Collie looking for a forever home. He’s about a year and a half old and weighs under 40 lbs, fitting perfectly into the medium size category. While he’s completely house trained, kennel trained, and leash trained, his journey with trust takes a bit of time. He prefers a quieter environment with fewer people around, which helps him feel secure. An active home might overwhelm him, so he thrives better with a calm and understanding family. He gets along well with other dogs and cats, but a fenced yard is a must for his next home. He has some herding instincts with horses but lacks experience with livestock. Champ is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, ready to bring joy to his new family. If interested in making Champ part of your home, please fill out an adoption application.
