Description:
Dash is a sweet boy. We believe he is a border collie/black lab mix, but fully grown at 42 lbs. He is about a year and a half old. He has the white paws and facial features of a border collie, but the temperament of a lab. Even though he is young, he does not exhibit any puppy/young dog behaviors – no jumping up on people, chewing, etc. He did mark in the house when we first got him, but we believe that is because he was not neutered. Now that he is fixed, we are expecting that this will stop. He walks well on a leash, and plays nice with the other dogs in his foster home (a mastiff mix and a cocker spaniel… so we know he does well with dogs of all sizes). He is not a very vocal dog, and hasn’t barked, even when the other dogs in the neighborhood are barking; he occasionally will whine when you try to crate him. Dash is not a hyper dog, but the border collie in him definitely needs exercise so we would recommend him for a home with a fenced yard. We take him on a one mile jog in the morning, and he plays in the yard for about an hour when we get home from work. That tends to tire him out. There are no kids in his foster home, though he has done fine with the neighborhood kids while on walks. He gets pretty excited to see them, but never jumps up on them; he may pull at the leash a little to get close to them. He knows “sit” and we are in the process of figuring out what other commands he might know. This dog seems to be a quick learner. Dash is always smiling and happy to see you! Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal. Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed. The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label. Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first.
