Brodie needs a foster carer
About Brodie
💙 Dark Blue Border Collie Boy Ready for His Next Chapter 💙
Hi there, I’m Brodie — a young Border Collie with a striking coat and a bright future ahead of me.
I might look black and white at first glance, but I’m actually a dark blue and white Border Collie, with a soft, distinctive coat and a lovely, expressive face. I was born on 19 September 2025, so I’m still very much a youngster with my whole life ahead of me.
I’m a bit of a shy boy, and things were a little tough for me at first — my brothers were picking on me, so the lovely people at ARK moved me to a new foster home. I’m much happier here now, and starting to find my confidence but I've still got a way to go💙
I haven’t had any formal training yet, which means I’m a clean slate. But please know that I'm clever and eager to please. With guidance, consistency, love and time, I have all the potential to grow into a wonderful, well-rounded companion.
🐾 About me:
✔ Purebred Border Collie (no papers)
✔ Born 19/09/2025
✔ Dark blue and white coat
✔ Intelligent and ready to learn
✔ Keen to build a strong bond with my people
🧠 About my breed:
Border Collies are widely regarded as one of the most intelligent dog breeds. We thrive on mental stimulation, structure and connection, and with the right home we are incredibly loyal and rewarding companions.
🏡 What I need:
✔ A home with Border Collie experience (or a good understanding of the breed)
✔ Secure fencing — I’m smart and agile
✔ Time and commitment to training and enrichment
✔ An active lifestyle or meaningful daily engagement
I’m not desexed yet, but my adoption fee includes desexing, subject to terms and conditions.
If you’re looking for a smart, capable young dog you can shape and guide, I could be your perfect match 💙
