Keeper
About This Dog
Keeper's ideal home
Keeper is an 8-year-old Collie cross looking for gentle and patient owners who can meet him where he’s at. He will need to live in a quieter, low-traffic environment such as a rural or small residential area, with access to peaceful, sniffy walking routes where he can relax without the worry of passing cars. A secure garden is essential so he can enjoy outdoor time without stress, and a multi-person household would suit him best to gradually build up confidence with being left alone. He will need to be the only pet in the home but he could enjoy walks with fellow dog friends outside, following closely managed and slow introductions. Keeper would be happiest with patient adopters who are willing to continue his loose lead training and provide him with support and guidance to help him navigate the world at his own pace. He could live with sensible older children as long as they’re able to understand the importance of giving him space when needed, as he can feel overwhelmed by too much attention. This gentle boy needs a home that appreciates his sensitive nature and is ready to guide him kindly through his golden years.
Could you be Keeper's perfect match?
Keeper is a sensitive soul with a wonderfully playful and affectionate side that shines once he feels comfortable. He absolutely adores toys, especially balls and playing fetch, but he will need help learning when to stop playing. He’s a clever boy and enjoys a variety of enrichment activities, especially when he can revel in completing one! While he can be a little conflicted when meeting new people, his sweet nature comes through as he builds trust, and he forms lovely bonds with those who respect his boundaries. Keeper is an endearing mix of sensitivity and playfulness who will bring joy and companionship to the right home!
