Rescue Only (HW+) PB Classic M - Wetumpka AL *Rescued*

Humane Society of Elmore County is very nice, but because this guy is HW+, he is not going to move to the adoption floor. He was sent to me by a friend who volunteers/works PT at the shelter. She has evaluated him and I trust her, she is very active in Border Collie events. Contact me if you can help, and I'll get you in touch.

a) He is very shut down in the kennels, to the point where they feared he might be gravely ill. But the longer he's out, the better he feels and acts.

b) He is now kenneled with 2 dogs - one male (intact), one female (spayed), does fine with both. They are young and obnoxious and he doesn't reprimand them for climbing all over him.

c) He has been given a bath and Frontline. Said his coat will be marvelous once the flea-thinned areas grow back in :) Age estimate possibly 5, his front teeth are in nice shape except a chipped canine, back ones have tarter.

d) They took him to the office, where he did great. They took him for a trip and got him weighed at their vet - 42lb. He greeted smaller dogs very politely, and absolutely lit up when he saw kids! He very deliberately ignored the cats, even when they tried to make him look - lol. He did not mark and shows all signs of being housebroken. He did consider marking the cat scratching post that ALL dogs mark, but responded to a "no, sir!"

e) He became perky both in the car - where he enjoyed tracking other cars on the road - and the longer they had him outside. He may actually have a more normal BC energy out of that environment.

f) He is incredibly people-oriented and responsive. He won't do anything you tell him not to, and will do anything you ask of him - even if he doesn't want to. He waits for permission to exit the car and go through doors. Wonderful boy :)

Well...he now has kennel cough just to make things more interesting.... But they know he is being actively worked and we [Phoenix Rising] do have something cobbled together for him. They are treating the KC and have him in a private kennel. I haven't marked him "pending" yet due to so many contingencies. But should know soon!

He is either coming to rescue or going home with the shelter worker who was helping me...lol. Either way, he's secure.
