Morgan Border Collie Chestertown, MD

Morgan -- Available!
Intake date 19 August 2023 . 1-ish? year old black and white spayed female . This girl is a gem. She’ll need to go to a very active, sporty home with training experience and no small humans. She desperately wants a partnership and looks to her person for guidance in all situations. Morgan offers behaviors for a verbal ‘YES!’, but shuts down with a clicker. She is an active learner and does offer behaviours, which is always fun! . Morgan loves other dogs but can be boisterous and mouthy and needs support learning how to appropriately play. She has displayed some minor resource guarding with other dogs, but corrects easily, and should continue to improve as she learns that no one will take away her things. . Morgan kennels on command and waits in her kennel with the door open to be put on leash. She’s sensitive and initially shy but warms up fast to whoever is on the other end of her leash. She settles very nicely in her crate. Morgan is currently in foster with a cat and is respectful, but needs monitoring. . 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. . This dog is located in Maryland - we do not ship or transport dogs. For information on adoption, an FAQ, and our application, please see our website at mabcr.org. If you are interested in adoption, please submit an application, complete with documentation. . Dogs that have not lived previously with children will not be offered to homes where young children reside. We do not 'test' dogs with children or cats, since testing here will not show an accurate picture, and may give potential adopters false comfort. If a dog has lived with children or cats, that will be stated above. We do not place dogs as ESA, nor will we place a dog as hypo-allergenic. Applicants interested in adoption of a potential service dog must be working with an experienced trainer. .
