About This Dog

Starlight's ideal home

Starlight is a beautiful 6-year-old Collie with bags of energy and classic collie enthusiasm. She is confident when meeting new people and is friendly with everyone she meets, but she can be conflicted around other dogs due to being under-socialised, so she will need an experienced home committed to ongoing training and careful socialisation. Starlight would need to be the only pet in the home and can live with children aged 11+. A secure garden is essential for her to safely burn off energy, and she would be best suited to a quieter area as she has a tendency to chase moving objects such as cars.

Could you be Starlight's perfect match?

Starlight will thrive with collie lovers who understand the breed and know how to positively channel her intelligence and drive. She is high energy and absolutely obsessed with toys—especially her ball—so an active home that enjoys play, training, and mental enrichment would be ideal. Once settled, she can be left for a few hours, though any time alone will need to be built up gradually. With the right guidance, structure, and commitment, Starlight will make a loyal, fun, and rewarding companion for the right home.
