Dougal needs a foster carer
About Dougal
💙 Blue-Eyed Border Collie Beauty Looking for His Person 💙
Hi there, I’m a young purebred Border Collie (just without the paperwork!) with the most striking blue and white coat and sparkling blue eyes you’ve ever seen. I was born on 19 September 2025, so I’m still very much a youngster with my whole life ahead of me.
Like many Border Collies, I’m clever, sensitive, and absolutely gorgeous — but I’ll be honest, I haven’t had any formal training yet. The good news? That classic Border Collie brain means I’m ready to learn, and with the right guidance, I’ll absolutely shine.
About me:
🐾 Purebred Border Collie (no papers)
🎂 Born 19/09/2025
🎨 Blue and white coat with stunning blue eyes
🧠 Naturally intelligent and eager to learn
💙 Affectionate and looking for connection
About my breed (and why it matters):
Border Collies are widely regarded as one of the most intelligent dog breeds in the world. We thrive on mental stimulation, structure, and companionship. Without guidance and activity, we can become bored — but with the right home, we are incredibly loyal, trainable, and deeply rewarding companions.
What I need:
A home that understands the needs of a Border Collie (breed experience ideal)
Good, secure fencing — I’m smart and agile!
Time, patience, and commitment to training and enrichment
An active lifestyle or meaningful daily engagement
I’m not desexed, but my adoption fee includes desexing, subject to terms and conditions.
If you’re looking for a bright, beautiful, and devoted companion and are ready to invest the time to help me become my best self, I might just be your perfect match 💙
