About Courtesy listing Biscuit

Meet Biscuit! This smooth-coated, tricolor Border Collie has the softest, sweetest eyes that are sure to melt your heart. At 5 years old, he brings a playful personality and some delightful quirks that make him truly special. Biscuit's favorite toy is an indestructible hard plastic yellow egg ball, which he joyfully bats around like a soccer ball. He loves engaging in playful antics, often running victory laps with toys or even a leaf while other dogs play around him. While he’s getting the hang of fetching frisbees, catching is still a work in progress. This gentle soul enjoys treats and interacts well with other dogs and cats. He is comfortable in his crate and is learning to improve his leash skills with more practice and patience. Biscuit can be a bit nervous around new people—especially when he’s in his crate or on a leash—but with time and a quieter environment, he'll reveal his true self. He hasn’t had much exposure to men, so his reactions to them remain unknown. Biscuit seeks a calmer home with someone who appreciates quiet moments and values building trust over time. With his favorite yellow egg, a few toys, and a peaceful spot to call home, he will surely warm your heart. Could you be the kind soul Biscuit is waiting for? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
