Wes's Story

Meet Wes - a loyal, well-trained Border Collie with a big personality and an even bigger heart for his people.<br/><br/>Wes is a 4-year-old, 42 lb Border Collie who has spent his life being deeply bonded to his family and committed to his routine. He is fully house trained, reliable for an 8-hour workday, walks nicely on a leash (especially with a harness), and rides well in the car. He's the kind of dog who settles into structure quickly and thrives when he knows what's expected of him.<br/><br/>With his family, Wes is friendly, affectionate, and steady. He enjoys human companionship and is comfortable in a predictable home environment. He is healthy, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.<br/><br/>Wes does, however, need a very specific placement. He has shown escalating aggression toward other dogs in his home, particularly with a new male puppy, and has demonstrated a strong "alpha" tendency. Because of this, he will do best as the only dog in the home. He should not be placed with other dogs, as he becomes reactive when he feels his space or role is challenged.<br/><br/>For the right home, Wes will shine as a devoted solo companion - a dog who bonds closely, follows routine, and wants to be someone's one-and-only. He is not a dog for dog parks or multi-dog households, but he has every potential to be an incredibly loyal, stable companion in a calm, structured environment.<br/><br/>Wes is looking for a home that understands confident, intelligent herding breeds and is committed to giving him clear boundaries, consistency, and the leadership he responds to best.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a deeply loyal partner and can offer a solo-dog home where he can finally relax and just be someone's best friend, Wes may be exactly that dog.

Tired Dog Rescue adoption fee includes all sets of vaccinations, heartworm test, fecal exam, spay/neuter and microchip. We also recommend that you research the breed that you want to adopt. Ask yourself....Can you afford the cost of a high maintenance dog such as a Cocker Spaniel or Shih-tzu etc? The grooming costs are about 50.00 every 6-8 weeks. Are you in a position to adopt a puppy which will require training? Can you afford the medical costs that might be involved in adopting a senior pup? We want every adoption to be for life so please think about what you can and what you are willing to do before considering each pet. If you are unsure please contact us and we can help answer any questions.
