Starlight
Border Collie · Female · Adult · 7 years
Starlight will thrive with collie lovers who understand the breed and know how to positively channel her intelligence and drive. She is high energy and absolutely obsessed with toys—especially her ball—so an active home that enjoys play, training, and mental enrichment would be ideal. Although she loves her toys, once they are put away she settles really nicely. Once settled, she can be left for a few hours, though any time alone will need to be built up gradually. With the right guidance, structure, and commitment, Starlight will make a loyal, fun, and rewarding companion for the right home. Starlight is a beautiful 6-year & 7 month old Collie with bags of energy and classic collie enthusiasm. She can be worried when meeting new people, but once she knows you she is a cuddle bug! She can be conflicted around other dogs due to being under-socialised, so she will need an experienced home committed to ongoing training and careful socialisation. Starlight would need to be the only pet in the home and best suited to an adult only home. A secure garden would be beneficial for her to safely burn off energy, and she would be best suited to a quieter area as she has a tendency to chase moving objects such as cars, and can get frustrated on the lead when out and about. She is in kennels in a quieter area due to kennel life and the changes she has experienced being very stressful for her. Starlight's new family will need to come to the centre on multiple meets and be fairly close to the centre as her ongoing adoption journey will involve her going to the home for short stays. Our Training and Behaviour team are on hand to give advice and guidance along the way of her adoption chapter.
