Captain

Have you ever wanted to bond with a dog so deeply that you never stopped touching? Captain can do that! Do you love the feeling of thoughtful, soulful eyes that *never close* watching you? Captain is your guy! Do you rarely see other people or change your routine? Perfect for the ole Cap!<br/><br/>Captain is a seven-year-old, 60# Border Collie who found his way into rescue when his owner passed away. Raised in a small suburb with his siblings, Captain is learning how to venture out on his own. Captain has lovely medium energy: all he asks is for some exercise each day and time with his humans.<br/><br/>He loves to explore the woods and is never far from his person. Captain is gaining confidence by making his own choices and enjoying nature (or, as they say: he’s enjoying being a dog!). Captain has a lovely recall and has gotten himself into good shape running and exploring with the other dogs in his foster home. They coexist peacefully, and he respects their space. He is lovely with cats.<br/><br/>If allowed, Captain can be somewhat ‘pushy’ with people. Consistent rules helped him learn how to relax and take a break in his crate or on a mat, and how to follow his person's lead instead of the other way around. He learns quickly and has a good understanding of basic obedience commands. Impressively, he easily executes them close or at a distance He quickly picks up on what his human wants and the routine of his home in true a Border Collie fashion.<br/><br/>He walks nicely on a leash and is perfectly content watching TV or hanging out in the kitchen, supervising meal prep. Captain will do best with a quiet family or adults. He is okay with young kids, but a high energy family is not his ideal.<br/><br/>If you’ve ever wanted to own a very handsome, nicely bred, mature Border Collie, Captain is for you! <br/><br/>Captain is being fostered in St. Joseph, MN.<br/><br/>Captain's adoption fee is $450 + MN sales tax. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. Upon adoption, all of our dogs go to their new homes with a collar and harness, leash, starter food, blanket, favorite toys & treats. They are current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>As a foster-based rescue, we do not have a central facility to visit. Meet and greets with specific dogs are arranged once your adoption application (not an inquiry through Petfinder) has been received, processed, and approved. We are located in Minnesota and adopt to an area 400 miles from Minneapolis/St. Paul.
