Lady is a 6-year old Border Collie mix who was adopted from a Minnesota rescue when she was about 1 year old; her adopters, who are her current owners, are seeking to re-home Lady with a person or family who can better provide for her needs.
Her owners say this about Lady:
"We are looking for a truly exceptional home for our six-year-old Border Collie, Lady. She is loving, incredibly friendly, wonderful with children, respectful of boundaries, reliable about staying close, and happiest when she is playing fetch or spending time with her family.
She has a beautiful coat and is, without exaggeration, the best all-around dog we have owned out of seven or eight dogs over the years. This is an extremely difficult decision, and we are only considering rehoming her because of concerns where we live (Oak Park). She has had one bite incident that resulted in a bruise. It occurred while she was on a walk and believed a stranger was threatening our daughter. We want to be completely transparent about that history, although it was an isolated protective response and not part of a broader pattern of aggression. Her ideal home would be with an active, dog-experienced family, preferably with children and plenty of room to run and play (.5-1 Acre++). She still has the energy typical of a Border Collie, although she is beginning to slow down somewhat with age. She is currently happy and doing well in our home, so we are not in a rush and will be selective. We would like to meet and speak with any interested family to make sure she is going to a safe, loving, permanent home. Please shoot us a brief description of your living situation, why you want a dog, and some time you could come meet her in Oak Park."
