Meet King

King was surrendered in MS last year with his sister by owners who had to move and were not able to safely keep them, so they opted to find a rescue. King has that lively, non-stop border collie energy that makes him seem more like two years old instead of almost seven. When his foster first got him, he loved to snatch things and prance off, inviting his foster family to chase him. Don't get that confused with fetch though (unless he is in zoomie mode lol).! He does love tug and overall, is a happy, friendly boy who loves meeting new people, including children but he's not into super cuddles, preferring to hang out and get pet instead. King has also been good with most other dogs with the exception of his foster mom's daughter's husky, so we would recommend slow introductions to make sure King and any current fur-friends will get along. He has no interest in squirrels or deer, but can go into a barking frenzy over lawnmower equipment, motorcycles, bicycles and golf carts. We think King would benefit from a more rural home where he doesn't constantly have to hear equipment noises right outside (though he feels the same way about tractors). King’s absolute favorite thing in the universe is a car ride, especially with the windows down so he can patrol the back seat. When his foster mom gets home, instead of greeting me, he runs to the car and asks for a car ride! Like a lot of our BC pups, King does not like thunderstorms and usually goes upstairs to his crate when he is nervous, though sometimes he can’t settle and wraps himself around his foster mom's legs. Some things that need to be worked on with King are his leash pulling, waiting calmly at the door to be released, and recall (which is usually very good except with the lawn equipment triggers). King is absolutely the sweetest and most delightful boy. He will bring so much joy and energy to a family who will love him and who can help him rechannel his impulses. King is currently being fostered in Spring, TX
