In the shelter’s words

Meet Boots, a beautiful Border Collie mix who has had a rough start. She’s spent her life chained, but now thanks to a beautiful rescue mom is blossoming in a home environment. She’s said to be around 4 years old, though she seems younger in energy and spirit. Boots is proving what a wonderful girl she truly is. She loves to run, explore the yard, and especially play with her new friend Cora. Cora can be a bit rough, but Boots handles it like a champ. Even her new blind senior friend, Socks, has decided she’s worth playing with!She is a shy girl at first, but she warms up very quickly. • Leash: She may pull a little, but when I remind her that I’m an “old woman,” she slows right down. • Car rides: Hops in fairly easily and rides well. • Vet care: Fully vetted, microchipped, and her 4DX test was all negative. Boots has been in foster for almost two weeks and has been no trouble at all. Her quirks are harmless and honestly kind of sweet: • Her foster mom leaves the back door open and Boots just loves to dart in and out, child like. When she comes inside, she likes to tuck herself under a table or other safe spot. That’s her comfort place, and she’s happy to have Cora join her for playtime there. • Boots has never tried to dig under or go over the fence. • Her reputation indicated she may not be trustworthy with cats, but she hasn’t been near them in foster to truly know. Boots truly deserves a home where she can get more one-on-one attention and continue learning what it means to be loved. She has shown zero aggression in her foster home—just a gentle, grateful personality that wants to feel safe. If you’d like more info about Boots or want to meet her, please reach out. She’s ready for her new beginning.
