Special Dogs with Special Circumstances

Otis Sex: Male DOB: 1 July 2005, 7 years Coat: Black and White, Smooth Coat Weight: 50 lbs Activity Level: High Energy, Frisbee and Herding Instinct Otis is an amazing athlete and has been a wonderful Frisbee and fetching buddy for my children and me. He is eager to please and patient when small children play with him. He is great on a hike or a camping trip and comes with his own backpack to carry his gear. Our life with Otis was fine when we lived in a house with a fenced yard (he is trained on an invisible fence). However, now that we all live in an apartment in a boarding school with no outdoor space to call our own we need a new home for him. Otis has strong herding and fetching instincts. He is loyal and loves frequent exercise with a ball, stick, or Frisbee. He loves to run in the woods and is good about staying close to his human companions. Otis is pretty high-strung. He can be somewhat over-focused on his fetching, even inside. He is very fearful with thunder, including a low rumble from a TV speaker or an encroaching storm. He tends to be aggressive towards other dogs if he meets them while he is on a leash. He does better if both dogs are free to move around, but I don’t trust him entirely not to pick a fight. His strong prey instinct has manifested in high cat aggression. He has been hunting down more than one cat in the past. This is one of the main reasons we have to get him off of this school campus ASAP. We love Otis and hate to give him up, but our current living situation with no possibility of a fenced yard and little opportunity to get off a leash is no longer a fit for him.

How Can I Help?

Please consider a tax deductible donation to Carolina Border Collie Rescue! Our foster homes pay for food, transportation, the occasional home repair, and other incidentals involved in caring for their furry guests. We have the help of several generous veterinarians, but, it is rare that the adoption donation covers the cost of medical care, shelter fees, and other expenses. Your donation will go directly towards these expenses. Our rescue group would not exist without donations and funds from merchandise sales. CBCR is a recognized 501(c) (3) public charity. Make Checks payable to Carolina Border Collie Rescue and mail to: Molly Aldridge PO Box 551269 Gastonia, NC 28055 We can take Paypal Donations! Click on the Donate Button Below Thank-you!
Contribute! Gifts are always welcome! Besides financial support, foster homes are in need of old blankets, towels, toys, leashes and collars, crates and other dog care supplies. THANK YOU! Support the Friends of CBCR! Professional and corporate sponsors Volunteer! Foster homes are always welcome, but you don't have to take in dogs or even have much experience with dogs to help. Our group draws its strength from the diversity of our members and is unified by our love of the Border Collie breed! Adopt! If you have been considering adding a Border Collie to your family, consider rescue first. Rescue dogs are evaluated for their suitability for various home environments and we provide a lifetime of support to our adoptive families. Open your heart to a homeless dog!
