About Cheech
“Cheech” is a 3 year old male border collie x and is on the smaller side. This boy has huge potential with the right owner but currently has some puppy habits that need retraining. These are mouthing (not biting) and jumping up at people. He also struggles with having his nail trimmed - but with more exposure would soon learn. He is a very food motivated responsive young dog who looks to his handler for direction and confidence. This boy is a quick learner and very intelligent. He is a working breed so will require daily exercise and mental stimulation. He absolutely loves to play ball. Cheech is afraid of loud noises such as the vacuum cleaner and loud machines and will remove himself from these situations. He also gets anxious when children and other animals run up to approach him. He is not suitable to a home with other pets as he is dog reactive - however we are sure that with some consistency and training this is something he will overcome. Because he is quite mouthy at this stage we wouldn’t rehome him in a household with young children under 12. He walks well on a leash and travels well in the car. His adoption fee is $350 he is desexed, microchipped and vaccinated.
Adoption details
If you are interested in one of our animals please phone or send an email to rescue@btcanimalshelter.com.au and we will reply as soon as possible.
A questionnaire will need to be completed which will allow us to ensure we are placing our animals into the right home. Once the completed questionnaire is received, we will respond by email / phone call to discuss the animal in further detail, and answer any other questions you may have. Please note that completing the questionnaire does not place you under any obligation to adopt. We can arrange a meet and greet for you (and existing pets) to spend some time with the pet and see if they are likely to fit into your life.
If you decide to adopt, payment is made and you can welcome your new pet into your life!
We offer a 2 week trial period.
