Stevie

♥ Introducing sweet Stevie ♥

Stevie is a 2yr old Border Collie girl who is looking for a very special home.

Stevie has been working hard in foster care to reduce her learned levels of anxiousness and overcome her lack of confidence. She unfortunately developed some pacing behaviours at an early age and it formed a set habit over time.

Stevie has made progress in care and she is looking for a home that is committed to continuing her training and who can help redirect her when she gets stuck in a cycle of pacing.

Stevie is a very sweet dog who tries really hard to please you. She is now crate trained and this has been an essential part of her current training. It will also need to be part of her new home routine. She is friendly with other dogs but, after spending her first 2 years of life with an older dog that bullied her, she does prefer a calm and polite doggie pal. She sometimes instigates play but is usually just happy having chilled out dogs to hang out with.

Stevie can get worried about a lot of neighbourhood noise and is best suited to a home in a quiet location with a secure yard. She is fantastic with kids but she does feed off their energy levels and currently would be best suited to a less busy home that does not have children. (Visiting children would not be an issue.)

Stevie has kicked some goals by having a really good routine in place for her. It will be important to establish this in her new home as well. She is looking for an experienced owner. Ideally familiar with the traits of the Border Collie breed, and able to help her continue to breakdown and redirect these learned behaviours.

If this sounds like you, please lodge an application and we will chat with suitably matched homes about beautiful Stevie girl and her quirks!
