Adopt Bright

Female · Adult · 4 years

Bright is an intelligent and active girl who loves having opportunities to use both her brain and her body. She already knows several cues including "sit", "down", "middle" and "wait", and she has previously enjoyed agility training. She would love a home where she can continue participating in agility or other fun training activities that help strengthen her bond with her adopters and boost her confidence. Bright enjoys exploring quiet woodland walks, open fields and other peaceful areas where she can relax and take in her surroundings. Although she can be strong on the lead initially when excited, she is capable of walking nicely once settled. She also has good recall, making adventures together even more enjoyable. Playtime is one of Bright's favourite parts of the day. She loves chasing a ball, playing tug games and carrying around squeaky toys. She also enjoys chewing on antlers and bull horns and would benefit from plenty of enrichment and mental stimulation around the home to keep her busy and engaged. While Bright has many wonderful qualities, she can find new places, unfamiliar objects and unexpected changes quite daunting. She lacks confidence in many situations and can become worried when faced with things she has not experienced before. Because of this, she is looking for patient adopters who can help her navigate the world gently, celebrate her successes and allow her to build confidence at a pace that feels comfortable for her. With kindness, encouragement and consistency, Bright has the potential to flourish and become a fantastic companion. Bright is a sweet, clever and affectionate girl who is ready to find a special home that will support her, understand her and love her for the wonderful dog she is. Bright is a beautiful 4-year-old Australian Kelpie cross Border Collie. She is looking for a calm and understanding home where she can continue to grow in confidence and enjoy all the things she loves most. Bright can live with teens aged 16 and over and will need to be the only dog in the home. While she prefers her home environment to herself, she would benefit from having calm and well-mannered canine friends to enjoy walks with, as they can help build her confidence. Bright cannot live with small furries, but she does have experience being around horses and chickens. When meeting new people, Bright can sometimes be a little unsure at first and appreciates being given time to get to know someone. Once she feels comfortable, her affectionate side quickly shines through, and she loves nothing more than a cuddle with her favourite people. She is housetrained, travels well in the car and enjoys spending time with her family. Bright is looking for a quiet home in a peaceful location. Having previously lived in a rural environment, she can find busy towns, cities and unfamiliar surroundings overwhelming. Loud noises, such as traffic sounds, can worry her and she will need patient adopters who can offer reassurance, guidance and understanding as she adjusts to new experiences. Bright thrives when she is allowed to go at her own pace and build confidence gradually. As Bright is not used to being left alone, any time spent by herself will need to be introduced slowly and positively.
