Adopt Oscar

Border Collie · Male · Young · 2 years

The best way to make friends with Oscar is through a game of fetch. He loves his ball and squeaky toys. Oscar is always up for a long walk. He’d rather avoid the crowds and traffic; he’s a country boy seeking rural fun. Oscar is smart and picks things up quickly. He already knows a sit, down, paw and wait, and he has good recall. He enjoys treats, why not play scent games, and teach him some new skills using positive reward training. In the home, Oscar likes to relax on the sofa with his people. He enjoys a fuss and he does not mind having his hair brushed. Home requirements: Oscar is a fun-loving two-year-old Border Collie looking for a home. He could share his home with children as young as eleven. He is looking to be the only dog in the home and would enjoy doggy pals to socialise with when out and about. He has no history of living with cats and small furries. Oscar has been fine walking on his lead around sheep and cows. Oscar is housetrained. He gets car sick so would like to find a home with rural walks on the doorstep. Oscar would love a home with plenty of outdoor space to play ball. He is happy to be left alone for a few hours at a time. He is not used to lots of visitors to the home and has been brought up in a quiet, remote, rural, country environment and would love to find a similar setting for his new home. Experience of the breed would be helpful. Available at Ilfracombe, Ilfracombe
