Casen Border Collie Chestertown, MD

approximately 1 year old rough coated neutered male . Oh my this boy is sweet! It takes him a moment to warm up to people -- he is young, shy and lacks confidence. And by moment we mean about 5 minutes until he trusts you, then about an hour until you're BFFs and sharing secrets over a plate of snacks. . Casen is taking the big wide world in stride, some things are overwhelming at first and he's a thinker - he will distance himself, mull it over then come to a conclusion that everything will be ok. He would prefer living with another, confident dog(s) and a human who can continue showing him the world. Casen is a people-pleaser, he wants to be a good boy and needs someone to show him the way. He is calm in the house, quiet in the crate, gets along well with a pack of dogs. He has ignored his foster family's cats but has shown interest in the pet parrot. . This dog was part of a hoarding case, and while all of the dogs involved have great temperaments and are adjusting well to living in a home, folks interested in adopting should understand that they will need support and encouragement on their road to learning to 'dog' normally. Attending classes and working to build partnership will be an important part of the plan to adding a new pup to your home.
