| TAWNY | |
 |
Tawny is a precocious 12 month-old female red and white purebred Border Collie puppy. She came to our rescue as a stray via the shelter. It was apparent that Tawny had been neglected, as she had a dull, brittle, and very faded coat that had mats all over her. With some good nutrition, the dead overcoat has shed out to reveal a deep red. Tawny will be a petite Border Collie with a semi-rough coat.
Tawny is very sweet and affectionate, but does not have any manners. She will need a person who is willing to start at the beginning of her training, although she can walk on a leash. She is still learning not to jump up on you, so she probably should not be placed in a home where she can knock over small children. She has not been evaluated with cats. She sleeps in the house in a crate without any potty accidents.
Tawny gets along very well with all other dogs and enjoys playing with them. She probably would not do well as an only dog, as she enjoys the company of her foster siblings. As with all pups, she can become bored easily and will become destructive if her energy is not channeled in a positive way.
Tawny is a true BC pup through and through. She is a typical youngster, as she would rather play than learn her obedience. Her energy level is on the higher side for a pup her age , so she will need an active home where she can get lots of exercise and mental stimulation. Tawny requires an adopter who is BC savvy, and has had previous BC experience with an alpha female. Since she knows she is cute and pretty, she can be quite coy and manipulative with her looks. If you are not consistent with your discipline, she will be alpha and take over your household. She doesn't want to, but she will, if you let her.
Tawny’s adopters must be committed to work with the destruction and energy associated with raising a puppy, along with housebreaking accidents. As with all puppies, socialization and puppy obedience classes are a must. This will ensure that you will have an outgoing, socialized, well behaved, and well adjusted adult dog in your family.
If you are interested in meeting our dogs, please go on line and fill out an adoption application. We require a pre-approved application to be on file before any meet and greets are scheduled. The electronic application can be found on our website at http://www.bordercolliesinneed.org/border_collie_rescue_and_adoptions/adoption_application.html
