About Padfoot
Padfoot is a 2-year-old, tri-colour male Border Collie who's still very much a puppy at heart, full of energy and ready to form a lifelong bond with his new family! He's eager to please, incredibly responsive to training, and will quickly pick up new skills once he's settled into a loving and active home. Whether you're looking for a running companion, a work buddy, or a fun and loyal friend for your older kids (10+), Padfoot will fit right in.
He's the perfect addition for an active family that enjoys spending time outdoors. With his love for play, exercise, and adventure, he'll keep you moving! Padfoot is especially suited for someone with a love for dogs who can offer him structure, positive reinforcement, and a chance to grow into the confident and well-rounded dog he's meant to be.
Having previously lived with cats, Padfoot is still learning the ropes when it comes to interacting with other dogs. He's keen to make friends but may need a little guidance and slow introductions to new doggy pals. Currently, he's seeking a home where he can be the only dog, with someone who will take the time to carefully introduce him to friendly dogs and help him become comfortable with new canine companions.
If you're looking for a fun-loving, energetic, and trainable Border Collie, Padfoot could be your perfect match. Ready to welcome this wonderful boy into your life? He's waiting to share many adventures with you!

Adoption details
BARC adoption officers will work with you to help you find a dog or cat that matches your needs, they will discuss things like yard fencing, exercise requirements, other pets and family members, lifestyle factors, and breed experience. To help make this as quick and easy as possible, we ask you complete and adoption questionnaire (located on our website, or you can complete on when you visit). This helps ensure that we are introducing you to the most suitable animals we have available.
We encourage all members of the household to attend a meet and greet with a pet prior to adopting an animal. If the animal being adopted is a dog, we will also require existing dogs in the household to attend the shelter as part of the meet and greet.
Holds can not be placed on animals over the phone, and can only be applied at the discretion of management.
