Notes from Come Bye Border Collie Rescue

Update on Louise Louise has made wonderful progress and continues to settle beautifully into home life. She now happily comes over for snacks, follows her people from room to room, and enjoys spending time with the other dogs in the house. She’s discovered the joy of couches and cozy beds and is comfortable taking naps while her humans go about their daily routines. Louise thrives on structure and has established a solid routine. When called, she will come to you, and she knows her crate well—running right to it and waiting patiently at mealtimes. She is respectful of her space and does not chew blankets, so she enjoys having plenty of soft bedding in her crate. Toys and bones are her absolute favorites. Louise is fully potty trained. She continues to make steady progress in her confidence and daily routine. She must have a securely fenced yard, as this is important for her comfort and safety. While she does best in a calm environment, Louise can be unsure around strangers in the home and will need to be placed in her “safe zone,” such as her crate, when visitors arrive. She may bark at new people, and her rescue is actively working with her on this behavior. Leash walking will require patience and consistency, but with a gentle, understanding adopter, she has the potential to improve. Louise is looking for a patient, committed home that will continue helping her build confidence and reach her next milestone. With time, structure, and love, she will make a deeply loyal and rewarding companion. Please contact cripecasey@gmail.com if you have any questions about Louise. You can complete an application to adopt Louise on our website, www.comebyebcrescue.org. ***The potential adopter will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.
