KONRAD's Story

Konrad is a one year old, handsome, smooth-coated family-friendly, dog-friendly, easy going, playful purebred Border Collie looking for his chance to find a forever home. He was born on a farm, given away, then abandoned. <br/><br/>Despite Konrad's bumpy start to life he retained an incredibly sweet and trusting personality - he loves both people and dogs. He currently enjoys life with three canine (two Border Collies and a German Shepherd) companions who are showing him the ropes and what it's like to be a cherished part of a family. He especially enjoys playing with his Border Collies buddies!<br/><br/>At his foster home he is experiencing the good life and quickly learning the joys of being a dog, a companion and a family member. He's beginning to understand the joys of fetch, enjoys interacting with people, and has a playful, fun-loving personality. One of his adorable quirks is that he likes to gently nibble at you when you're preparing his meals or first waking up in the morning a sweet, if slightly goofy, way of saying he's happy to see you.<br/><br/>Konrad is highly intelligent and eager to learn, making steady progress on crate and house training. He also walks nicely on a leash and rides well in the car. He hasn't shown sensitivity to loud noises or thunderstorms. When working with Konrad, he responds best to sensitive verbal corrections and calm leadership. <br/><br/>As is typical of many Border Collies, Konrad is intensely attracted to small animals that he can chase, a trait that comes from his s herding instincts. With Konrad on patrol, your yard will quickly become squirrel-free! But, because of this drive, he is not a good match for a home with small pets such as rabbits, gerbils, or other pocket pets, and he is not suitable for a home with cats. He will also require a securely fenced yard with a 56 foot fence.<br/><br/>This young boy will need an active lifestyle, a home with a large fenced yard, and people willing to provide him with plenty of exercise, continued training, and fun mental stimulation. If you're ready to do this, Konrad promises you'll get a loyal, affectionate, and entertaining companion. <br/><br/>Konrad is neutered, utd on vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, negative for heartworm and on monthly preventatives and in flea meds. He is being fostered by the Atlantic Region Central Border Collie Rescue in Newport News, Virginia. Questions about Konrad should be directed to mcclellanka@gmail.com.
