Adopt Malibu

Border Collie · Female · Adult · 4 years

Malibu is a very smart girl, who knows lots of tricks and commands, so would love adopters who can keep up her training and mental stimulation. Like a typical Collie, she is obsessed with her ball and can exhibit some herding behaviours, so will need to be the only pet in the home and be kept on a lead at all times around livestock. Malibu can find boisterous dogs quite worrying, so would prefer to only be friends with calmer dogs. Once she has burnt off all her energy running around and doing mental enrichment she is happy to have a nice snuggle on the sofa and settles well. She is truly such a brilliant girl and we can't wait for her to start her new life. Could you be the perfect home that Malibu is looking for? Home requirements: Meet Malibu, our wonderful 4 year old Collie! Malibu is a classic Collie with bundles of energy and a brain that never stops. She is looking for an extremely active experienced Collie family or working household who can take her on plenty of adventures and engage in enrichment until her heart is content. She can be worried of people initially so will need patient adopters who are willing to let her come to them at her own pace. She would prefer all children in the home to be 14yrs+ but this could be lowered if the children in the household are confident around active dogs and have been around Collies before. Malibu is a sweet gentle girl, who is not yet used to being left in the home, so her new family will need to be around most of the time and willing to build up her leaving hours slowly.
