PENDING - 1yr old Border Collie
Description
This gorgeous boy is Nova. He’s a healthy one year old border collie. We have had nova since he was a four month old puppy. He’s trained to protect our chickens and ducks but is an indoor dog. He is excellent with small animals, we’ve had many rabbits and kittens and he’s always been gentle with them. He has excellent recall, he responds perfectly to down, sit, leave it, and come.
Why are we looking to rehome him?
Nova is a gentle soul and for a border collie he’s very chill. He has never shown any aggression to people. But he is nervous around children. We have a 3 year old and he’s always been good to him but is visibly stressed with the chaos small children create. He’s made for a 10 year old and up home. He is a sort of dog who needs a best friend. He will cuddle with you for hours giving you endless love. Nova is not neutered but we would get him neutered for the right family. Nova is OK with other dogs but we live in the country so he hasn’t had much interaction. I adore this dog and won’t rehome him to anyone who can’t give him a better life than him we are already giving him.
The perfect home for nova would be a home in which he is the only dog. Where there are no kids under 10 years old. And a home where he will have a yard to play or someone who will walk him daily for at least an hour. He could be a good fit for a livestock guardian dog but he really would prefer to lay beside you on the couch all day cuddling.
Novas personality is incredibly sweet and cuddly. He gets nervous around children, he just runs away from them. Nova is very people pleasing(but only to the person he is bonded with), he does bark when people/ dogs walk by but can be commanded to stop, he is good with small animals, OK with select dogs, is unneutered which means that he does Mark at times. We put a wrap on him when he’s indoors to stop this, neutering him would stop this as well. Nova doesn’t chew on things but he loves a good bone in his crate. Nova still sleeps in his crate and is very content in there, I’m sure he would love to sleep in bed with his human and would be an excellent big or little spoon!
We have an Instagram page where you can get an idea of the type of home Nova has been raised in. Please message here for our phone number where we can jump on a call or text us. We will also send you our Instagram account to check out.
