ANGEL # 172902 Breed: Border Collie

spayed female, 3 yrs 49 lbs  $300

 I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.

I can be nervous around new people. It just takes me a little while to get comfortable. But once I get to know you, I'm very loving.

I'm easy going. Wanna go for a walk? Okay. Hang out in the yard? No problem. Just relax on the couch? I can do that. I'm pretty happy to go at your pace and I don't really need much more than most dogs do. If you're looking for a steady companion, I'm all yours.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I am a sweet and sensitive boy who takes a little time to build trust and make friends.
  • I may be shy at first, but once we get to know each other I will shower you with love!
  • Loud noises and unpredictable movements can make me uncomfortable, I would do best in a home with calm, older children.
  • I am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me!
  • Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I may do best in a home where there is another dog to help boost my confidence.
  • It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.
  • I enjoy the company of dogs! If you have a playful dog I would love to be friends!

  • Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
  • High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.

  • While I may be okay with the occasional canine friend, I'll probably never be a dog park kind of dog.
  • I need a home without cats or other small animals.
  • I need to go to a home without small children.
