ADOPTED – KUMA

Female, 9 weeks, 10 lbs

MAMA CASSIE’S (AKA CASSIOPEIA) Stars & Planets pups were born on 12/02/22, & at 9-weeks-old they are ready, ready, ready to find their forever homes. Mama Cassie is a 32#, black & white, rough-coated girl with a bobbed tail. She loves people, & her puppies have inherited her friendliness.

KUMA is a crack-up, full of puppy antics. She loves toys, especially tug toys, & she’s a good tugger. When she has a toy on her own, she finds a lair-like spot to hide her toy. When she goes back to get it, she likes to play keep-away with her littermates. But she’s happy to bring her toy to her person so they can play together. She is treat-motivated & she has very nice focus. She virtually posed for the camera, as if she knew her photo was being taken. She knows how to work a room. She isn’t afraid to explore, but she’s good about checking in, if you catch her attention.

These puppies are all beautifully marked & have easy-care coats. All five are social, smart, & confident. They have been raised around other adult border collies & with cats, & they are good with both. The puppies love to chase each other, & they are very keen to play. They learn quickly & are all treat-motivated. Because of their energy levels & keen desire to learn, they will do best in homes where they will have things to do & not just walks around the neighborhood. They can be placed in single dog homes or in homes with one other dog, but as puppies they will need someone who can devote themselves to providing the stimulation & challenges young border collies need to thrive.

KUMA is started on her puppy vaccines, wormed, and microchipped. She is also on flea & tick and heartworm prevention. As a condition of puppy adoption, she will need to be altered when she reaches approximately 6 months (specific time to be determined by your vet). In addition to the adoption fee, puppy adoption requires a $75 spay/neuter deposit. Upon our receiving the spay/neuter certificate from you, the deposit is refunded.

If you have an approved adoption application with Border Collie Rescue of Northern California let us know and we will request it be forwarded to us for consideration.
