Shamus's Story

Shamus, also known as Schmoo, Shay, and Fluffbutt has made his intentions known. Hes looking for his forever crew.<br/><br/><br/>This dog needs to MOVE. Fast, here, there, back, and repeat.<br/><br/>Shamus does appreciate down time on the couch with the human though, especially if a good ear and head massage are integrated into the experience.<br/><br/><br/>Treats are great - the stinkier the better - crunchy cod skins are his jam<br/><br/>Balls, Discs (learning how to chase and catching sometimes), chew toys - he likes to toss things around on his own, but is becoming a very good fetch partner.<br/><br/>House-trained and kennel trained - puts himself to bed at night, and knows when to head into it when the hooman is leaving the house.<br/><br/>Cats? Well, aren't they the most interesting things! He is interested in them but would be fine in a home with a dog-savvy cat.<br/><br/>Other dogs? Currently living with a senior border collie, and he does fine with her (albeit a little too rambunctious for her at times). He wants to be the centre of attention in most situations. Not a lot of exposure to same-energy-level playtime with other dogs to know more yet. <br/><br/>Shamus has not really been around any children. He gets a little overexcited when he sees and hears them from a distance. He may enjoy playing with older kids that understand a bit better what he needs and how to interact at his level.<br/><br/><br/>The outside of the house/yard world can be a little overwhelming for our friend Shamus at times. A more rural lifestyle might end up being the perfect fit for this country bumpkin versus the fast and furious urban vibe he is currently hanging out in.<br/><br/><br/>This dog really does have so much potential to be that dog. He has come leaps and bounds towards getting to be a dog, and.. now he needs the place to land.<br/><br/>If you feel that Shamus could be a great match for you, please complete an adoption application. Adoption fee is $450 and this includes their core vaccines (DA2PPV, Rabies) deworming, health checks and spay/neuter, as well as any care required. All finalized adoptions come with a free 6 week trial of pet insurance with Pet Secure.

This dog needs to MOVE. Fast, here, there, back, and repeat.

Shamus does appreciate down time on the couch with the human though, especially if a good ear and head massage are integrated into the experience.


Treats are great - the stinkier the better - crunchy cod skins are his jam

Balls, Discs (learning how to chase and catching sometimes), chew toys - he likes to toss things around on his own, but is becoming a very good fetch partner.

House-trained and kennel trained - puts himself to bed at night, and knows when to head into it when the hooman is leaving the house.

Cats? Well, aren't they the most interesting things! He is interested in them but would be fine in a home with a dog-savvy cat.

Hull's Haven Border Collie Rescue's Adoption Policy
For Border Collies, HHBCR has strict guidelines for adopting this breed. Border Collies are extremely high energy, high intelligence dogs. They are known as "The Einsteins of the Dog World". That being said, they are also a breed that has many bizarre and peculiar behaviours. They can be obsessive compulsive, very focused and many have the deep rooted need to herd. They will herd cats, other dogs and children. This can cause a problem in families with small kids. For other breeds, HHBCR will similarly ensure that guidelines are followed suitable for that breed. While each dog has its very own unique personality, one must seriously research the breed before deciding to bring one into their home. For this reason, Hull&#39;s Haven will have many questions for any prospective adopter, and reserves the right to refuse anyone deemed unsuitable. HHBCR&#39;s adoption fee ($400 for puppies $400 for small breeds, $350 for most medium/large breeds, and $250for se
