This handsome 3 year old smooth-coat Border Collie is classic in his sensitivity and desire to please. Super sweet with a soft nature, he responds well to reassurance he’s a ‘good boy’. He loves belly rubs and gives little licks on your hand when he’s happy.
Ace is a people focused dog and is longing to find someone he can feel safe with because he is clearly worried now in new situations - people places and dogs. Ace will need someone skilled with the breed to help him adjust. Regardless of his stress level, he is a gentle Border Collie trying hard.
As a softer, insecure Border Collie, he needs very positive encouragement and patience. He is two weeks into training with new dogs and male strangers and even puzzle toys and he is doing fairly well.
Ace is NOT aggressive but he IS a worrier and fearful.
We would love for Ace to find a new home and settle quickly. His previous life included another young female dog, children and cats, supposedly good with all. We will be retesting him with cats, as well as other dogs once he is less stressed. His outside life was only leash walking and being tied on a rope so we are now giving him a chance to run free as a normal young Border Collie loves to do. Ace absolutely loves exploring freely and finding confidence with his own choices. He will only be placed with a fenced yard.
Ace found his way to Glen Highland since he was minutes from us at the Humane Society. He is the third young Border Collie we’ve helped from this shelter. He and another dog were both left at the shelter right before the New Year the reason being ’no longer can care for them’.
He is currently in boarding since our Senior Rescue is completely full and other Virginia BC rescues are also full. He is 46 pounds. For foster home or adoption inquiries, write to rescue@glenhighland.com
