Meet Sonny

This is Sonny, our 3 year old, fetchaholic smooth coat cutie! He's athletic, but not over the top and also has a great off switch. Sonny can relax at home after burning off his energy like a fun walk, fetch session, or a game of tug of war. He's very intelligent and eager to learn-already racking up quite the trick and command repertoire. He could be a great sport dog candidate and has already run through a 20 ft agility tunnel with his foster mom! Once at home, he has a soft, affectionate side and loves to cuddle.

Sonny has not been introduced to cats or kids, but based on his fetching intensity, careful introduction and lots of training would be needed to ensure peaceful coexistence. He's currently being fostered with both male and female dogs. He is well-adjusted to suburban life: aware of noises and changes in the environment but not troubled by loud noises, bangs, or thunderstorms. He is house and crate trained, sleeps in the crate overnight and is comfortable riding in the car. He will need training and redirection when it comes to cyclists. Like many border collies, he fights the urge to chase and control movement.

We rescued Sonny from a Utah shelter in quite literally the nick of time. The shelter staff put out a plea for help because they found him to be such a super dog, and they are right! Sonny has so many of the traits we love about the BC breed: brains, focus, attentiveness, athleticism – with just a dash of quirkiness for good measure. And his bouncy baby Yoda ears when he is walking will make anyone smile! In addition to his cute ears, being a smoother coated BC he doesn't pick up pesky burrs and mud the way those rough coats do. He can’t wait to be the apple of someone’s eye and he is going to make some lucky family a lovely companion.
