About This Dog for Adoption

Pretzel's ideal home

Pretzel is looking for a special kind of home – one that’s calm, patient, and understanding of a dog who hasn’t yet had the chance to learn what home life is really all about. His new family will need to be around for him as he settles in, helping him gradually build confidence and learn that being left alone doesn’t mean being abandoned. He’ll need to be the only pet in an adult-only household, and would thrive with humans who are open to learning about dog behaviours like guarding and humping, understanding why they happen and how best to support him through them. With kindness, structure, and commitment, Pretzel will blossom – and for the right person, this journey together will be deeply rewarding.

Could you be Pretzel's perfect match?

At heart, Pretzel is a vibrant, intelligent boy with a whole lot of love to give. Life in kennels hasn’t been easy for him – he’s found it overwhelming and frustrating at times – but even so, his sweet and affectionate nature shines through when given calm and consistent attention. He loves gentle strokes, thrives on enrichment activities that keep his brain engaged, and has already shown that he can settle beautifully in the right environment. Once he begins to feel secure, his playful, curious side comes to life, and you’ll see a dog who delights in interactive play and highly values his human friendships. Full of potential, we just know that Pretzel will become a loyal and loving companion to the right family… could it be you?

Border Collie Buying Checklist

We highly recommend every buyer reads through the below advice when purchasing or rehoming a Border Collie.

View the animal in the place it was born and raised - check for genuine home environments if buying privately, or the quality of the breeders set-up if applicable.
If viewing a puppy under 8 weeks, by law they MUST be seen with their mum.
Make sure the animal's old enough to be rehomed. 8 weeks should be the earliest a puppy can be rehomed.
By law, all dogs MUST be microchipped
Review and verify any documents, such as KC registration paperwork where applicable

Avoid Potential Scams

There are a number of red flags to look out for when purchasing a new puppy:

Seller demands a deposit without allowing you to see the dog first - never send any money before meeting the animal in person
Seller is reluctant to send you additional photos or videos
Seller offers to deliver the dog/puppy
Seller asks to meet in a mutual location
Seller uses fake or stolen photos from the internet. Always carry out a "Google image search".
Seller asks to immediately switch to communication off the Border Collie Owners website
Seller uses a different phone number to the one listed on the website - especially if that phone number is in one of the advert images

Although we have a number of automated systems in place to prevent scam and fraudulant adverts, these can never be 100% accurate and its important to use caution when buying online. We do not accept any responsibility for transactions between our users, especially when our safe buying advice is not followed.
