Bio:
Name: River Age: 1 Year 5 Months
Breed: Border Collie Sex: Spayed Female
Colour: Red Size: 22.50 kg
From my foster: She loves plushy squeeky toys. Extra durable works best as she will destroy these very quickly. She loves tug of war but with something softer like a plushy (cares less about a rope) and she will request playtime every few hours. She loves being outside (unless raining). When outside, she is always in a playing mood. She is a handful when playing, and will jump very high and try to grab your hand with her mouth. When she's indoors and isn't experiencing energy bursts, she is very calm, sweet and loves an occasional cuddle. You may understandably be drawn to River's beauty and uniqueness, and she would thrive in a home where she can exercise and find mental stimulation for several hours a day.
The staff at the OHS call me a Triathlete. Triathletes need lots of activities with you to keep them happy, so get ready to exercise, play games, provide puzzles, and more! Triathletes can be pretty mischievous without their daily workouts and will usually find their own outlets if not given enough to do. And while Triathletes are outgoing, they tend to put all of their focus into the current activity and can get frustrated by any interruptions. If you're looking for that perfect training buddy, look no further! A Triathlete can be ready at a second's notice to run miles with you, join you on a long distance bike ride, or chase their ball until the sun goes down (and then keep on going...). If you have an active lifestyle that doesn't miss a beat, consider a Triathlete!
Mental exercise is an important part of a Triathlete's day. Good mental activities include using a food dispensing puzzle for meals, giving frozen treats and food-stuffed toys, mixing it up with a variety of chew toys, hiding food and toys for them to sniff out, and playing training games! These exciting activities help to work their mind and tire them out while hanging at home.
My adoption comes with complimentary training sessions with the OHS, so we can learn and grow together in my new home!
I am looking for a home without other pets.
I am looking for a home where children are over 10 years of age.
Apartments won't be able to contain my energy levels!
I don't always appreciate unfamiliar dogs in my personal space and I'm not ready to make friends with every dog I meet.
I have some teeth that are worn. This is likely due to me chewing objects that are too hard. I will require regular veterinary check-ups to monitor my teeth. In the future I may need dental care for this condition under general anesthesia, possibly including dental extractions or other procedures.
I am currently relaxing in a foster home as I wait for my forever family. Please contact an adoptions staff to book an appointment to meet me!
If you are interested in setting up an appointment to adopt me, please complete an adoption application.
