Plum
Plum is ready for his forever home!! Plum is an approximate 2 year old neutered Border Collie x Australian Shepherd mix.
Plum can be a bit too energetic for some dogs. He is available for adoption to a family that will understand his exercise needs and provide him with guidelines and continued obedience to help him become a solid citizen.
Here is what Dawn, Plum’s Foster Mom, has to say:
As he settles in, and learns the ‘rules’ he is doing great things. He has ‘earned’ more and more freedom. He is being more respectful of the resident dogs play expectations. He is much happier without restrictions. He will enter the crate when asked, but sometimes barks and gets anxious when left alone.
Plum would love a fenced yard where he can play outside ALL day. Translation – he is high energy! He enjoys laying outside on the deck and watching the birds and squirrels.
A tennis ball is his favorite type of toy, and we have caught him carrying a stuffed teddy a few times. He is still learning leash behavior, and will need a dedicated person willing to continue the work. He’s smart and eager to learn!
He has not chewed anything inside the house but no blankets in the crate for this boy. He had only one accident in the house.
He has not been cat tested, but seeing how he is with the smaller dog- we think if the cat holds their ground he will learn to respect.
Plum needs a calmer home, so would prefer no younger children. Transitions and lots of activity can be difficult for Plum and he needs support and guidance.
What is Plum’s perfect home? An active couple who have ample time to devote to him, long walks and hiking. He loves his people and just melts when he is petted.
Plum is currently located in southern CT but reasonable transport can be arranged.
