About Archer

Archer is a unique 4-year-old Border Collie looking for a special home. This boy thrives in a quiet, adult-only environment where he can feel safe and secure. Because he's fearful of new people, he needs a low-traffic household and may nip when feeling uncomfortable. It's crucial for his new home to limit exposure to unfamiliar visitors. Archer is independent and enjoys his own space, often choosing to relax nearby rather than seeking constant attention. In his foster home, he has found comfort in his open kennel, spending much of his time there without needing to be confined. Once Archer bonds with his person, he forms a deep and meaningful connection. A securely fenced yard is essential for Archer, as he tends to chase cars and doesn't enjoy car rides or walks. On the bright side, he gets along famously with other dogs and loves playing with his canine companions. Archer has been neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on vaccinations. His adoption fee is sponsored, making this gentle soul even more appealing. If you're ready to give Archer a patient and understanding home, click apply to start the adoption process.
