Picasso's Story

🎨 Meet Picasso: A Masterpiece in the Making<br/><br/>Age: 1 Year | Breed: Border Collie | Vibe: Sweet, Sensitive, & Searching for a Shepherd<br/><br/>Picasso is a soulful young boy who finds the world a little bit loud right now. Unlike the typical high-octane Border Collie, Picasso is a gentle observer. He currently finds his "safe zones" in cozy, dark spots—like behind a favorite chair or tucked away in his kennel. He isn't being "antisocial"; he's just waiting for a human who speaks his language.<br/><br/>🌟 His Highlights<br/><br/>The "Walkies" Transformation: Interestingly, Picasso’s bravest self comes out on a leash! While the house can feel overwhelming, the Great Outdoors gives him a boost of confidence. He loves to explore the world one sniff at a time.<br/><br/>Social Butterfly (with boundaries): Picasso is a friend to all creatures! He gets along well with other dogs and is respectful of cats (provided the cat is chill and doesn't spark his "collie" instinct to chase).<br/><br/>Gentle Spirit: There isn't a mean bone in this boy's body. His affection is earned, which makes every tail wag and lean-in feel like a gold medal.<br/><br/>🛠️ Work in Progress<br/><br/>Picasso is looking for a human who is okay with a "fixer-upper" heart. He is currently working on:<br/><br/>Potty Training: He’s still learning the ropes, so a consistent routine is key.<br/><br/>Trust Building: He needs a patient BFF who understands that "slow and steady" wins the race.<br/><br/>The Great Escape: Picasso is a bit of an escape artist! He can jump fences if left to his own devices, so he’ll need supervised yard time or a very secure "studio" to play in.<br/><br/>🏡 The Ideal Home<br/><br/>Picasso’s perfect match is a quiet, low-traffic household where he won't be startled by loud noises or a revolving door of guests. He needs a human who is home often to help him navigate his fears and celebrate his small victories.<br/><br/>Picasso is currently being fostered in Heppner, Oregon. His adoption fee is $400. If you are interested in adopting Beau and are pre-approved, please contact the adoption team at hunahapps@gmail.com.
