Adopt Kim

Border Collie · Female · Senior · 13 years

Kim is a sweet senior lady looking for a home where she can soak up all the home comforts, fuss and snuggles. She enjoys playing with her toys and having a game of fetch with you; ball play in moderation due to her age and minor arthritis. Kim likes to take long afternoon naps. She enjoys her walks and she plods along gently on her lead. She does not mind walking with calm, gentle dogs, she doesn’t appreciate a boisterous face to face meet though. Kim enjoys her treats and likes an easy to do food puzzle like a liki mat. A strict food regime is needed as she is allergic to pork and pork derivatives. Kim is a thirteen-year-old Collie cross looking for a loving home. She is looking to be the only dog in the home and no cats, small furries, or livestock. She could share her home with teenage children. She is instantly friendly with new people and fine with visitors to the home. Kim is housetrained. She travels well in the car. She is not used to being left alone and would love to find a home where her people are home most of the time. Time left alone will need to be built up gradually. She would be best suited to a quieter home environment.
