Featured adoptable dog: Hannah from New England Border Collie Rescue

WANTED - STEADY EMPLOYMENT!


Presenting Hannah

She will be placed in an experienced Border Collie home only!!!

Here is her complete bio from the New England Border Collie web site:

Looking for a hard working, reliable "employee"? Well Hannah just may be your girl!

"HANNAH" is a smart, incredibly sweet, very active, young Border Collie is in need of a REGULAR "job" and an experienced "boss" to help her live up to her potential.

Hannah is a 2 y.o. purebred, spayed female. She is not a "starter" Border Collie. However, with her combination of brains, drive and total love of people,she'd make an excellent companion for an experienced Border Collie owner looking for a challenging, interactive relationship. Hannah will keep you on your toes, and you'll need to stay one step ahead of this brilliant girl. However, she is food motivated and EXTREMELY toy motivated, making her a dream to train. In fact, she'll need some DAILY training and exercise to help keep her mind and body occupied. With everything going for her, we believe she'd make a FABULOUS sport dog, and possibly herding dog as well.


Now for the particulars--Hannah is current on her vaccines and in good health. While she has a dominant personality with other dogs, we have recently found that she will respect a laid-back male, who is not a complete pushover. Hannah can NOT live with another female dog, or with a very submissive dog. Because of her drive and toy obsession, we will not place her with cats or children under 12. A solid, securely fenced yard is a must, as is a positive-based obedience class. (And please, only inquire if you have fairly recent experience living with a young, active Border Collie.) For the person willing to commit to keeping her entertained and active every day, Hannah will pay you back a thousand fold with her undying affection!

You MUST first fill out an adoption application.

Hopefully Hannah will find the right home for her. BC's have gotten way too popular over the past few years, due to the media. I think that all too often people get them and just think they come already trained to jump in the air and catch a frisbee or a champion at agility. They don't realize all of the energy and time one needs to put into this particular breed for it to live a good life!These dogs are not couch potatoes!
