Meet Bo! Bo is a one year old, male, purebred Border Collie who was surrendered to us when he was 10 months old. He was the runt of his litter and was very scared when he first came to us.
Bo is gorgeous, so sweet and very smart, weighing in at about 38lbs!
Bo will need a very special adopter who understands this breed and will be able to continue the work and socialization that his foster mom has begun. He is definitely a work in progress, but has come oh so far and will make someone a loyal and loving family member. Bo seems to be partial to men, but does do well with women, as well. The perfect home for him will have, at least, one other Border Collie (male or female) that is confident and kind and is still young enough to keep up with his desire to play and show him the ropes! He loves all the dogs in his foster home, young and old, and is respectful of the Senior alpha male BC. We will give a non cat home a priority because he was very afraid of the resident cat for weeks but has become great friends with him now. We feel he will settle into his new home quicker if there are no cats and no young children.
He still can be skittish but recovers very quickly if something surprises him and will become a confident boy with patience and training in the right Border Collie experienced home!
He is housetrained, UTD on all vaccines, neutered, and HW negative. He is being fostered in middle TN.
As always, we require (no exceptions for Bo) a securely fenced yard

However he would also be an amazing active companion. He loves exploring new places. We haven't gone for a hike yet, but I think he'd love going on long hikes with his person.
He's super sweet and just wants to be with his person. I laid down in his bedroom (yes he has his own room until he is fully integrated with my crew) to catch my breath when I wasn't feeling well and he brought me a few toys. When I didn't respond more than a few soft words, he snuggled down next to me and just waited for me to feel better.
I would call him a medium energy dog, and with proper exercise he settles well in the house. He's got this amazing coat that is soft and silky, but his new family should be prepared to brush him regularly. I think he would be fine as an only dog or with another dog-savvy dog. "
