You’re gonna go nutz for him!
Hello my fellows! My name is Macadamia and I am a 2 year old, 60 lbs, male neutered Border Collie mix. I was rescued in Mexico and was there at a foster home for a while before I made way to sunny San Diego. I have been a very good boy and have mastered bathroom, crate and leash training. I may get distracted on the leash while waking but re-direction is very easy and positive reinforcement helps. I do have some resource guarding issues that I am working on, so management around young kids is necessary.
I am not a tough nut to crack, and just need to exercise and remain mentally and physically stimulated. Brain games, tricks, walks help me a lot. I have bilateral hip dysplasia and am currently taking Carprofen (Two months supply cost ~$25.00, depending on market value and where purchased) and Gabapentin to manage my occasional lameness (Monthly cost ~$5-10.00, depending on market value and where purchased). I have high and excited energy, so do watch for that door when people come over! I love to zoom around and wish good morning to all. I am also highly affectionate and can be a velcro dog. I do have some fear of men, but I am learning to trust with lots of redirection and treats! Slow and gentle intros are key. I am good around other playful dogs too. I would prefer older kids to be with, as I am working through resource guarding and trusting men. Dogs and kiddos would require management around food.
I pawmise that we will be fun, loving and health nuts together. My silliness and joy will keep you happy! I will thrive in a home with another dogs and we can just play and get our energies out. I would prefer more females than males in my home and older kids. Hope we can be up for patient training together and teach me some fun tricks!
My adoption fee is $300 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/
