Notes from Come Bye Border Collie Rescue
From silly upside-down snoozes to soulful puppy eyes, Leroy is the definition of a loyal, snuggly best friend. This 2-year-old Australian Cattle Dog is playful, smart, and oh-so-loving—just waiting for his perfect person to share all the cuddles with.
Fostered in Grovertown, IN | ~2 years old | Australian Cattle Dog | Housetrained
Leroy is the total package—affectionate, fun, and incredibly loyal. He LOVES cuddling on the couch, snuggling into warm blankets fresh from the dryer, and rubbing his face on yours when he wants attention.
Squeaky ball fanatic Completed obedience classes—smart and eager to please Great in the car and enjoys short walks Excellent house manners Showing wonderful improvement on leash around distractions, including other dogs
Leroy would do best as the only dog in his home or could live with a submissive female dog. While he’s sweet and friendly with people (just ask his vet team!), he’s happiest and most relaxed when he doesn’t have to share his space with more dominant dogs.
Leroy may display reactivity toward certain dogs and requires active management during such encounters, particularly in confined spaces such as elevators and hallways. Due to these tendencies, Leroy is not well-suited for apartment living. Leroy would thrive in a calm, adult-only home -- perfect for a single person or a couple looking for a loyal, snuggly companion in a home where interactions with unfamiliar dogs can be minimized and managed appropriately. Leroy is NOT SUITED FOR AN APARTMENT .
If you’ve been waiting for that one special dog to be your best friend, Leroy is your guy!
