Blue

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 6 months

Blue is a 10-month-old mixed-breed Border Collie. He is ambitious and loves children. Due to his young age, he can be quite rough. He gets along with other non-dominant dogs with proper introductions. He also gets along with the family cat. Blue has no training, so he needs to be treated like a puppy in the body of a young adult. At home, if he is left alone, he can quickly become destructive, so a crate would be the solution to protect him from accidents due to destruction. Cleanliness is also something that will need to be taught. Due to a lack of activity, Blue tries to escape. His story: Blue had a difficult start in life. His owner experienced violence, and he himself was also a victim. Despite this, he loves humans and seeks contact. Ideal home: We are looking for a family willing to invest and ready to take over a complete education. A family that is available, present, and will take him on nice walks, and when he is old enough, can do canicross with Blue. BorderlineCollie is a non-profit association. To continue our work of welcoming and rehabilitating Border Collies, we ask for a contribution to the adoption fees for the dogs we rehome.

About Blue

What life with Blue looks like

Blue is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Border Line Collie in borderlinecollie.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Blue, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Blue?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Border Line Collie handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Blue on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Blue if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Border Line Collie will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Blue already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Blue isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Border Line Collie early rather than rehoming privately; they know Blue and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
