Spring has Sprung!







Are there any "dock dogs" competitors out there? If so, we have your girl! Maybe you just live at the ocean or lake and want a water-loving dog. Spring is a beautiful border collie mix who absolutely loves the water! At her foster mom's house, she will take a running start from off the deck and leap into the pool at least 10 feet out! She swims in there all day until you force her to get out. She went on a walk and leaped into a local stream and rolled around in there like a pig in mud!



Spring is gorgeous in person and a great medium size, maybe 40 lbs tops. When you go for a walk, she pulls on the leash at first but then settles down and walks like an angel - I think she has to see if she can get you to go faster - when she can't, she just figures "oh well, I'll go at this speed." She is loving and fun; she enjoys other dogs but needs an active playmate who doesn't mind her energetic playing. We're not sure how she'd be as an only dog - we would think you would have to be a runner or love playing ball - she will fetch at least one million times in a row!



Spring is such a doll! You have to meet her in person and then you will love her like we do.

I am Spring's foster mom. She has been a real pleasure to have in my home and she will be missed when she finds her forever home. Spring is a loving, funny, obedient (most of the time), muffin of a dog and her adopter will be very lucky, indeed. She gets along wonderfully with the other dogs, with people and especially with children. My granddaughters love to play ball and swim in the pool with her. She is housebroken and is not agressive with her food. She shares her toys with the puppies and loves to wash their faces. I am always amazed at how she adapts to all situations and quickly learns new things.
