Haiku

Border Collie, femaleWelcome Haiku from a small rural shelter in Taft, CA. We don’t know anything about her backstory other than she was found as a stray and wound up behind bars.<br/>Haiku is a diamond in the rough (coat), slated to become poetry in motion. She arrived filthy and covered in hundreds of ticks, some the size of grapes. We’re still picking, but one thing remains true...she’s got a heart bigger than the entire universe. She even gives hugs. Forget Velcro, this girl is the strongest form of superglue on the market. Anyone that will give her the time of day, she will attempt to morph into their body and become one. She’s also great with other dogs - very congenial and appropriate. Cats, critters, livestock unknown at this time but the girl is biddable and aims to please, so probably workable.<br/>Haiku is young - probably not more than a year and knows nothing of domestic life so she’ll need a training-focused person or family to help get her up to speed with leash walking, potty training, basic obedience, and manners (she’s a big time jumper, leg diver, and love you to death kinda gal). She’s proven resilient, eager to learn, treat motivated, intelligent, adaptable, all the things so it should be a breeze but she’s not quite plug and play yet. Again, her heart is absolutely in the right place so with a training savvy handler, she will shine in no time.<br/>Haiku is a border collie through and through. If you know, you know - all the mannerisms and intensity. Breed experience required. She will need adequate mental and physical stimulation to stay fulfilled and flying right. She is 40lbs full grown, spayed, and UTD on vaccines.<br/>Haiku is Arroyo Grande, CA<br/>More photos and updates: https://www.facebook.com/www.cchdrescue.org/ search in posts and photo albums.<br/>Interested in Haiku?
