Lucky's Story

About Lucky<br/>Status: Available<br/>Breed: Shepherd/Hound mix<br/>Gender: Neutered Male<br/>DOB: 08/07/2023<br/>LOCATION: Stevensburg, VA<br/>WEIGHT: 50lbs<br/>COAT: Smooth Coat<br/>COLOR: Black and White<br/>ACTIVITY LEVEL: Very Active Companion<br/><br/>Meet Lucky!<br/><br/>This boy loves everyone! Each new person could be his new best friend! He’s also great with other dogs! In his foster home when one of the smaller guys picks on him he turns his head away and lets the dog attack his shoulder. When the other guy gets tired it’s all over and they’re back to being friends. Because of his size and energy level he’s probably too enthusiastic for young children. His foster mom has been working on toning down his greeting behavior but unfortunately his former owner encouraged him to “hug”, so it’s been slow progress.<br/><br/>Lucky also ADORES riding in any type of vehicle! That includes the normal car, van or truck but also anything else with wheels and an engine. He has happily jumped on tractors, lawnmowers, mower decks or anything else he thinks he can ride. A trip to Tractor Supply is wonderful, he can climb on the cart and hug the cashier!<br/><br/>Lucky's enthusiasm is overwhelming to small animals, and he is not reliable around the cats in his foster home. This would probably be true with any small animals. He has shown no interest in the sheep or goats so probably would be fine with larger livestock.<br/><br/>Lucky is crate trained and knows basic obedience commands. He’s practicing his leash manners but still gets excited when he thinks you’re a new friend or a potential ride in the car.<br/><br/>If you are the perfect forever home for Lucky, please fill out an application and contact his foster parents at karinmaida@aol.com. BRBCR’s approval process includes phone interviews, reference checks, and a home visit prior to meeting a foster dog. Approved applicants must meet at the foster dog’s location. Every adoption begins with a 2-week trial period.<br/><br/>Lucky’s adoption fee is $350.<br/><br/>Thank you for considering a rescue dog!

Blue Ridge Border Collie Rescue's Adoption Policy
BRBCR's adoption process requires that each of the following steps are successfully completed before meeting one of our foster dogs. The approval process typically takes 1 - 2 weeks. 1. Contact the foster parent of the dog that you are interested in to request an adoption application. 2. Fill out an adoption application on our website OR email a completed adoption application to brbcrdogs@gmail.com. 3. A BRBCR volunteer will conduct a phone interview with the applicant and the applicant's veterinarian and personal references. 4. A BRBCR volunteer will conduct a home visit with the applicant. Upon approval, the foster parent will set up a Meet and Greet for the applicant. If the Meet and Greet is successful, then the applicant will be able to take the BRBCR dog home for a 2-week trial period. If the trial period is successful, the adoption becomes official.
