Hi, friends! My name is Alonso, and I’ve come all the way from Tijuana to find my furever home!
I’m almost 6 year old old Border Collie mix male, who weighs 45 pounds. I’m potty-trained, house-trained, and leash-trained, and I’ve already been neutered, too. As far as my health goes, I’m on Science Diet K/D wet food (chicken/vegetable) to help manage my kidney issues. I also have limited vision in my right eye and am blind in my left eye, so I use 0.5% Ketorolac Solution, which costs ~$20 a bottle, depending on the market value and where it is purchased.
I’m the sweetest boy! I love my humans and to be spoiled by them. My favorite activities include cuddling on the couch, sun-bathing in the yard, napping during the day, getting belly rubs, and going for car rides and walks in the neighborhood. I’m generally a pretty mellow type of guy, but I do get zoomies in the backyard, and I like to play fetch, too. Although I love having company, I also do fine on my own with very little signs of separation anxiety.
I’d prefer to be the only animal in the home since I don’t do well around other doggies or kitties. Older kids (eight and older), though, would be a great fit for me. Basically, as long as I have plenty of time around my people, I will thrive be my best self!
Do I sound like two paws up to you? If so, my adoption fee is $250 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/.
