Adopt Hope

Border Collie · Female · Adult · 5 years

Hope is a gentle and sensitive soul with a truly sweet nature. She has a playful side that comes alive during a good game of fetch, especially when a ball is involved, although she can become a little fixated so will need help keeping play balanced and positive. While she may approach for fuss, she can feel conflicted about too much handling and prefers affection on her own terms, often choosing to quietly move away when she’s had enough. Hope has previously enjoyed agility and scent work training so it would be great for her potential adopters to be interested in picking this back up again! New experiences can be overwhelming for Hope, but with patient guidance and reassurance she has the potential to grow in confidence. Beneath her worries is a lovely dog who will form a deep bond with adopters willing to go at her pace and celebrate her small victories along the way. Please note: If you already have an open adoption application and are interested in knowing if Hope is a match, please let us know you are interested in her by emailing us on . Appointment slots are available from 12 - 5.30pm on Monday - Friday. Hope is an adorable 5 year old Collie cross, looking for a loving, understanding home. She is searching to live in a peaceful, rural environment with a secure private garden where she can have space to feel safe and settled. Hope can be particularly sensitive to traffic and busy surroundings, so quiet walking routes are essential to help her feel secure whilst enjoying her walks, and she could enjoy socialising with canine friends when out and about.. Hope would be best suited to an adult-only home with active adopters who have the patience to continue her training, most importantly around lead work and car travel. Occasional visitors to the household would be best suited to Hope, as long as they are able to give her space and read her body language. She was house trained in her previous home and may just need help settling back into a routine after time spent in kennels.
