Glacier Border Collie & Feist Mix Lenoir, NC

Glacier was abandoned on his rescuer's deck. Thanks to God it wasn't as cold as his name implies.

With a guesstimated birthday of Dec. 31, 2022, Glacier may weigh in the 40 - 50 lb range as an adult.

Glacier is an affectionate, snuggly guy. He's playful and wiggly when the other puppies and dogs are wrestling. He doesn't particularly care to wrestle, but enjoys pouncing around with his doggy friends.

Glacier sleeps quietly in his crate overnight. He is leash-savvy and will happily ride in a car, but may have to be tethered to keep him from wandering. He is house-trained when kept on a regular schedule.

Glacier is in a foster home with cats and dogs. He ignores the cats and plays politely with the friendly dogs. He can be a little pesty with the adults in his efforts to encourage them to play, but this is typical of puppies as they learn doggy social skills.

Glacier is timid with new people and in new situations. He has been attending the social events to help with this. In his home he's a confident, polite young man.

Do you have water? Glacier loves jumping into the ornamental pond at his foster home - scaring the tadpoles and toads with his joyful splashing :)


**********

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we usually have to make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

A vet reference is required to confirm responsible pet ownership. Requirement is a minimum three year vet history documenting current / previous pets are spayed / neutered, kept up to date on core vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. We suggest first time pet owners without a vet history look for an adult dog for companionship and to gain experience. Other rescues or your local government-run animal control agency may have different adoption requirements.

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies.

Not all foster dogs are available for viewing during public events, held most Saturdays at Tractor Supply (360 Blowing Rock Blvd) in Lenoir, NC from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We recommend interested parties contact us to pre-qualify for adoption so their new furry family can go home once paperwork is complete. Fees are required in cash. For more information on our organization, our website is www.FoothillsCanineRescue.org.
