Adopt Swift
Border Collie · Male · Senior · 15 years
Swift is all about the simple pleasures — gentle countryside strolls, sniffing new scents, and long, peaceful snoozes in a cosy bed. Busy environments aren’t his style; he much prefers a calm, rural setting where he can explore at his own pace. He enjoys pottering around on his longline and is making lovely progress with his recall, especially when treats are involved. Swift can sometimes feel overwhelmed with too much handling, so he’s looking for patient adopters who will go at his pace and build a trusting bond. Once he feels safe, his gentle and affectionate nature really shines through. As a senior boy, Swift does have some ongoing medical needs, including arthritis, which is currently well managed with pain relief. His future family will need to continue supporting this to keep him happy, comfortable, and enjoying his well-earned retirement. If you’ve got a soft spot for golden oldies and are looking for a gentle companion to share life’s quieter moments, Swift might just be your perfect match. Through no fault of his own, this lovely senior boy has found himself back in our care, but he’s taking it all in his stride and showing what a special soul he is. In his foster home, Swift has been happily living alongside two calm dogs and has settled beautifully into a relaxed routine. He could share his forever home with another easy-going dog, and as he has previously lived with a cat, we believe he could do so again with slow, thoughtful introductions. Swift is housetrained, loves the comforts of home, and would suit an adult-only household where he can truly relax. He’s also been content being left for short periods, which could gradually be built up over time.
