Timothy

Meet Timothy!

Say hi to Timothy, a year-old Border Collie/Mountain Cur mix who has been neutered, microchipped, is up to date on immunizations, and weighs about 42 pounds. A quick learner, he mastered the doggie door the first day here and knows that outside is the place to potty. In less than a month he has gained full run of the house (with nobody home) privileges, albeit with a few caveats. He is crate trained and goes there on command; as such he enjoys sleeping in his kennel at night and will often go there during the day to relax. While not prone to random barking, he will get vocal when someone enters the driveway or when our neighbors go to the mailbox with their dogs.  To avoid antagonizing the neighbors, I’ve outfitted him with a no bark collar that is set to vibrate mode at the first bark, and he respects that nudge every time.

Timothy has no idea what a stranger is and he greets everyone with a busy tail and a happy face. He comes when called and runs with the pack to the doggie door when I give them the “outside” cue. Timothy gets along well with my three dogs (and another foster) and has exhibited no signs of toy or food guarding. His activity level would best be described as “companion” or “active pet”.

Being half Border Collie only adds to his intelligence, as Mountain Curs are naturally bright, too. What he doesn’t exhibit is the Border Collie herding mentality, though his need for frequent physical activity and mental challenge are similar.

If you are the perfect forever home for Timothy, please fill out an application and contact his foster parents at curt@curtharvey.com. BRBCR’s approval process includes phone interviews, reference checks, and a home visit prior to meeting a foster dog. Approved applicants must meet at the foster dog’s location. Every adoption begins with a 2-week trial period.

Timothy’s adoption fee is $350.

Thank you for considering a rescue dog!
