FIGGY is a gorgeous 8 mo/55lb male Border Collie puppy. He's neutered, chipped, and up to date on vaccines. He's ready for his forever home. As you may expect with any Border Collie, he is intelligent, sweet and friendly. He's a touch apprehensive until he gets used to you, but he is well-adjusted and a very good boy. Figgy has been in foster since he was five weeks old. He's the perfect age to adopt as he's gotten through the most challenging parts of puppyhood, but he's still young and impressionable. Figgy is crate trained, house trained (but still a puppy, so he needs carefully watching for cues that he needs to go out) and walks well on a leash. He likes to stick by his human's side, and definitely has that border collie drive and eagerness to please. He walks himself back into his crate on command. Very treat motivated and loves to learn (great for training!). Hasn't been tested with cats, but is very dog friendly. He needs a herding dog savvy home without young children, someone with the time and energy to train and socialize a young puppy, and who is looking for a lifelong companion. He would do well in a house with or without other dogs, but he'd do best in a house with dogs 30lbs+.
Figgy is being fostered in Bakersfield.
