Ash

Woof! My name is Ash.

I am a young energetic border collie boy looking for his fur-ever home! I am super intelligent and would love to find an owner who will teach me new and exciting tricks. I love long runs and ball games, and the staff at Blue Cross think that I would be a pro at dog agility. I absolutely love meeting other dogs and have made lots of new friends here at the shelter. I have some mild issues with my hips, which are not causing me pain and definitely do not stop me from having fun, but may require attention in the future.

I'm looking for a home with adults or older children who know how to respect my boundaries. Being a working breed, I love to chase and herd, so I would be best suited to a home without cats. Please allow plenty of time if you come to visit me so that I can get to know you before cuddle time. This may require a few trips to the shelter before you get to see my true personality - I promise I'm worth it!

I have recently spent some time in foster care and I was an angel. My foster mum Kelly said she was so impressed with the way I behaved that I may be able to have another sleep over soon! I am house trained and wait patiently for Kelly to wake up so I can go to the toilet outside. I sleep right through the night (even boys need their beauty sleep!), and walk exceptionally on the lead. I met some of my foster mums friends and it was quite overwhelming initially but after a few hours they became my best friends! My foster mum said I was a very polite boy, and was very happy that I didn't make a single sound despite having noisy doggy neighbours.

If I sound like the dog for you, then please come and meet me at Blue Cross Animals Society of Victoria!
