About Wags
A quiet and calm dog, Wags just wants his own person to hang out with and go for walks, and he will loyally sleep on the floor beside your bed.
This gorgeous dog is housetrained, lead-trained, knows "sit", and shakes a paw. He is socially appropriate but aloof with other dogs, he has no desire to play with them. He is much more interested in trying to make friends with a black and white cat in his foster home, although he ignores the other cat - perhaps he likes JR because they're the same colour?
Wags was impounded due to escaping his owner's yard, and at the pound was observed to climb over a tall chainlink fence. In foster care in a home with indoor privileges and plenty of human and pet companionship however, he has not made any attempt to escape. We think that he requires close companionship and being allowed inside (especially when left alone) in order to stay home and not run off looking for company.
Wags has a long, silky coat which requires regular brushing. He is also a larger dog than most Border Collies, although he's not a big eater. He is very fit and slim. We were informed that he is 7 years old, but he appears quite a bit younger.
Wags is fostered in WAGGA WAGGA but transport can be arranged. Just ask us to obtain a quote for you when you submit your adoption application.
