Meet Nye

Do you love the sweet, sensitive, quiet and loyal type? Here he is! Nye is a handsome, 2 year old smooth coat BC with moderate, laidback energy. While he starts out shy and reserved, he bonds deeply with those that give him chance and will even show you how much he LOVES to snuggle! Nye plays well with other dogs and would benefit from a home with another confident dog who can help continue to build his confidence. Nye also enjoys going for walks, has wonderful leash manners. He loves backyard playtime where he can get big zoomies when given the opportunity. He is a master at surprise play and will match your energy. He will occasionally play with toys, and loves to eat meals from his kibble ball.

Nye also rides well in the car, is house and crate trained, but is also trustworthy in the house uncrated. He really just needs a quiet household who can give him a bit of time to flourish. If you love the quiet, devoted type of BC, and you love to help a shy dog blossom, Nye could be the one for you! He came to us from an Idaho shelter with his two brothers; all were picked up as strays and Nye was by far the most timid of the bunch. His brothers have both been adopted – and now it’s Nye’s turn! Thanks to his outstanding foster families, Nye has come a looooong way from the petrified youngster he was when he first arrived and is proving to be just the sweetest, most gentle lad.

HERDING POTENTIAL!!

Perhaps the most unexpected thing we’ve discovered is that he is showing some herding potential!!! His first time on sheep he showed some lovely instinct with livestock, and he really comes out of his shell when herding. We think he could make a wonderful farm chore dog and companion. Check out the video below of his first time on sheep.

Due to our small volunteer team, we can’t respond to inquiries to this listing. To learn more about this dog and our adoption process or to apply, visit wbcrescue.org. Thank you for considering adoption!
