Shelter Dogs

Kahlua needs to find a new home......sadly her current home isn't able to keep her, so sweet Kahlua is searching for another loving home where she can have fun being a border collie!

Kahlua is a 6 year old purebred female Border Collie weighing about 45 pounds. She is spayed, microchipped & current on her heartworm and flea treatments. She loves to fetch tennis balls, frisbee and will even herd a basketball/soccer ball. She likes to play with the spray from the hose and enjoys cooling off in a kiddie pool. She loves to go for walks and although she's not a kisser, Kahlua is very affectionate and is always looking to parlay a few head scratches into an all out tummy rub. She is very smart and well trained (house and crate) and follows a multitude of commands. She is well behaved as she doesn't dig in the yard or chew on anything in the house. She stays off the furniture and even lets us know if she needs to go outside and use the bathroom with a whimper. She sleeps indoors but spends a good amount of time outside. At night she will sleep in a dog bed or crate and currently sleeps in a wire kennel/crate indoors. She will go in the crate on her own when she wants to go to bed, as well as go in when she is told it is time. Although she pretty much ignores our 1 year old boys while moving thru the house, she seems a little unsure and uneasy when approached by them so I'm not sure a family with small toddlers would a good match for Kahlua. She is not always friendly with cats and other dogs as she has been an only dog' all her life and would probably be best as the only pet in the house. I think Kahlua would be a good match for someone that wants an active dog that is already well trained but smart enough to keep learning. She would be a good fit for someone that enjoys playing fetch and going for walks. She'd be a good match for someone that doesn't mind showing affection with some tummy rubs and head scratches but also appreciates a dog that will just hang out in the room as well.
