Josie

CBCR courtesy lists dogs for individual owners, other rescues, and shelters wishing to place their Border Collies or Border Collie-mixes themselves. These dogs are not in the CBCR program. CBCR does not warranty any of the information provided about the following dogs. Should any issues arise, CBCR will not be held responsible. Fees requested and policies may differ from CBCR.

Josie has been a great dog for our family. She has a strong herding instinct that would make
her a great addition on a farm. Josie loves to chase animals on our property and especially
likes to go after squirrels. She will sit for hours waiting for the possibility of a squirrel coming
down that she saw go up the very same tree. Josie is a long-haired border collie, and we have
her bloodline paperwork if you are interested in that type of detail. Currently, Josie is free to
roam on our property, and she has a Halo dog collar, which uses GPS data for fencing.

Does the dog have any medical issues?  No

Does the dog have any history of aggression, such as growling, lunging, snapping, or biting any
adult or child?  Yes, she has nipped at people, not out of aggression, but out of her herding instinct
 
Does the dog have any history of aggression toward other animals?  No

Regarding fit with children: Josie has been very gentle with kids, and nothing has happened with any children. It is our personal preference that, due to her strong herding instincts, we want to prevent that possibility. 

Reason for re-homing?  We have young grandchildren now, and out of an abundance of caution, we feel like it is best that we re-home Josie to a new home.

Josie is located in Freemont, NC. For more information, contact Bryant at bsauls@ias-nc.com or 252-245-6899.
