Cupid - 4 years old, Boy.
Meet Mr Cupid! He is a border collie mixed breed who is neutered and vaccinated. Cupids situation has been declining socially as his current owner is not able to care for him any longer for a number of circumstances and has recently surrendered him to our rescue organization.
Cupid loves running and going for runs with his owner. He loves his 'treats' and being a border collie mix, he will pretty much do cartwheels for you if the training is right!
He is generally okay with other dogs but he does seem to be more guarded now with them, this could be due to his current lack of socialization and him not being out and meeting other dogs for quite a while now. He does seem to be okay with cats but also something that should be watched at first to make sure.
He is a strong active player and runner and is not recommended for homes with children and seniors. It is recommended that he goes to a home that has a good yard for him to be out and run off some of his energy.
Cupid also has developed resource guarding behaviour with his food and will growl and attempt to bite if people are too close to him while he's eating, around food or with things in his mouth. This is an issue that is important to address and that can be rehabilitated with proper and strong owner/dog training and guidance.
Cupid is a type of breed that possesses high intelligence and is brilliantly quick to learn anything with the right owner and become the perfect dog.
If you feel you could give Cupid a great home please contact us, we would love to hear from you!
