About Oreo Courtesy Listing

Oreo Courtesy Listing is a charming 6-year-old male Border Collie weighing about 60 pounds. His striking black and white coat, combined with his bright blue eyes, makes him a standout. Neutered and microchipped, Oreo is well-behaved, housebroken, and crate trained. He ensures safety by staying in the front yard without chasing cars or people. His leash manners are impressive, as he does not pull, and he’s e-collar trained, responding well even off-leash. Playful and energetic, Oreo loves fetching balls, but he needs regular breaks to avoid overheating. He is generally calm around other dogs, fitting in well at a kennel despite his herding instincts kicking in with overly energetic play. While he does well with children aged 10 years and older, his excitement can make him a bit much around toddlers. With a history free from growling or biting, he simply seeks a home where he can receive the attention he deserves, especially with a new baby on the way for his current owners. If you want to provide Oreo with a loving home, see how he could become a part of your family.
