About Twiggy
Meet Twiggy!
This sweet 9 month old female Border Collie is looking for her forever home. She is a friendly and sweet natured pup who loves spending time with her people. Twiggy is highly intelligent and loves learning new tricks and commands. She is one smart pooch!
Twiggy is choosy with her dog friends, so it's best to introduce them slowly. Once she gets to know them, she loves playing with other dogs in the park or at the beach.
If you're looking for an intelligent, loyal pup to join your family, look no further than Twiggy!
Please read Twiggys medical notes to learn more about her Special Needs.
Medical notes
Twiggy has been diagnosed with Canine Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a fairly common disorder amongst our canine counterparts, especially those at higher risk such as working or energetic breeds.
Specifically for Twiggy, she will benefit from a home experienced with the breed, as well as a stable, fairly reliable daily routine. A home where she may be shown and given jobs to do, to keep her mind active and reduce the risks of fixation on items or objects. Twiggy has also begun daily medication to assist with the management of her disorder and alleviate her anxieties.
