About This Dog for Adoption

Rocky's ideal home

Meet Rocky! This handsome 6-year-old Collie Cross Huntaway is full of character and on the lookout for his forever home. Rocky is a real people-lover and makes friends quickly – he’ll be your loyal companion in no time! He has a bouncy and enthusiastic nature, so he's best suited to an adult-only home. Although he’s a big fan of humans, Rocky prefers to have his own space when it comes to other dogs. He will need a home without any other dogs, cats or small furries. Rocky is housetrained and travels well in the boot of the car, making him a great companion for quiet countryside adventures. Rocky isn’t used to being left on his own, so any time left alone will need to be built up gradually – but with patience and consistency, he does settle after a short period.

Could you be Rocky's perfect match?

Rocky loves a fuss and will happily lean into you for some well-deserved scratches – he’s a real softie at heart who enjoys being close to his favourite people. He greets visitors very enthusiastically, he just can’t wait to say hello! Treats are a big hit with Rocky – cheese is his absolute favourite! Food can be a great way to bond with him and support his ongoing training. At bedtime, Rocky likes to sleep in the bedroom or nearby, enjoying the comfort of being close to his humans. When it comes to other dogs, Rocky can be nervous and prefers to keep his distance. He can walk past calmly, and offering him a tasty treat during these moments helps reassure him. Rocky enjoys quiet walks where he can take in the world at his own pace – he’s especially fond of having a good sniff around! He already knows a sit and, being a clever Collie Cross, would love the chance to learn more. Rocky will thrive with positive, reward-based training that keeps his brain engaged.

Border Collie Puppy 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.
