Vader's Story

Meet Vader! <br/><br/>Vader is a calm Border Collie/Heeler mix with a fluffy black coat and soulful eyes. He is house trained and demonstrates great behavior indoors and out. His gentle demeanor makes him the perfect companion. While he initially hated his crate, he now happily curls up in his crate at night on his own or sprawls out in front of the couch while his foster family watches TV. He loves to go on casual walks, energetic jogs and even hikes- no pulling the leash! He copies your mood and just enjoys being with company. He truly is a sweetie! He has this quirk where when he’s really happy, his tail doesn’t wag, it goes in circles like a helicopter! He knows sit, down, up, speak, and fetch.<br/>Vader has shown significant reactivity towards male dogs and smaller dogs. His ideal home will be as an only dog or with a larger female canine companion. He can be slow to trust new people. His foster family has been working with him on these issues. He has been known to chase cars if unsupervised. Vader has no experience with livestock or farm animals but will chase cats, so a cat-free home is needed. <br/><br/>Breed: Border Collie/Heeler mix <br/>Age: 3 years old <br/>Weight: 55 lb<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Neutered: Yes <br/>Microchipped: Yes <br/>Dog friendly: Larger female dogs only<br/>Cat Friendly: No<br/>Kid Friendly: Has lived with 12-year-old and one year old children successfully<br/>Crate trained: Yes <br/>House trained: Yes<br/><br/>Vader is currently being fostered in Vancouver, WA.
