Alexa (nicknamed Roo) is ready to find her forever family! She and her brother, Ziggy, went from strays to squatters (at a very nice, caring farm) to temporary foster care to their current residence in long-term foster homes. During this time, she experienced what we assume to be many “firsts” for her - vet visits, walks on a leash, baths, car rides, and crating, just to name a few. She is a very sweet and playful girl who is eager to learn. Some of the things Alexa has been enjoying in her foster home: training, toys, walks, rides, playing with her foster sister, and being outside. She is well-behaved in the house but prefers to spend more time outdoors than indoors. Alexa is working on her leash manners and crate training. She has not been cat or kid tested. She is shy/timid when meeting new people, which is understandable given her history as a stray. Once she gets comfortable with you, though, she will be your best buddy. She has no problem initiating playtime at home, is always excited to see her foster mom, and likes to cuddle up on the couch at night when she’s burned off her energy. Alexa enjoys being busy (whether that be mental or physical stimulation), so an active home with a yard and another younger, playful dog would be best. She may also be a good candidate for dog sports with her energy level and eagerness to learn. Alexa would benefit from a home with Border Collie experience as she does possess many traits of this breed. She is still learning what it’s like to be a “dog” but has come so far already! Her forever family will need to be patient and willing to help her build confidence and be comfortable in her new home. This sweet girl has lots of potential and so much love to give! If you think you are the right family for her, fill out an application on our website. Alexa is being fostered in the Kansas City area.
