Orah Border Collie Chestertown, MD

twoish year old, 30lb, smooth coated, tricolor spayed female . Orah is a delightful young lady who is bursting with happiness - she wags her tail so hard she folds her whole body in half! She greets everyone with a big smile and a wag, and wants nothing more to be someone's best girl. Orah rides well crated in the car, is learning leash skills, is reasonably settled in the house and is quiet in the crate. She gets along well with dog-savvy cats (she can be a bit of a stalker, so diligence would be key) and her foster pack, though can be a bit possessive over food - we are working on that. She has been handling all the new experiences with confidence and is ready to be a partner. Would prefer a home with other young, energetic dogs but could do well solo with the right human partner. Orah definitely must be kept busy with training and some sort of job-like activity. . This dog was part of a hoarding case, and while all of the dogs involved have great temperaments and are adjusting well to living in a home, folks interested in adopting should understand that they will need support and encouragement on their road to learning to 'dog' normally. Attending classes and working to build partnership will be an important part of the plan to adding a new pup to your home. .
