Rooster

Rooster is a bright, busy Collie who’s just waiting for the right person to help him shine!

Rooster is full of energy and personality, and he’s still learning how to settle and can become a bit restless when left alone, so he’ll need adopters who are around for much of the day initially and are happy to gradually build up his alone time. Rooster is incredibly food-motivated, which makes training a fun and rewarding experience for both of you. Out and about, Rooster is a joy, he loves his walks, and is eager to say hello to everyone he meets, both human and canine! He has great potential for recall training and may even enjoy some off-lead adventures in the future.

At home, Rooster is an affectionate boy who enjoys fuss and will happily snuggle in, but he can become overwhelmed at times and needs patient owners who can read his signals and give him space when needed. He’s still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place, particularly when it comes to handling and the vets, so gentle, positive training will be key. Rooster would be best suited to a home with committed adopters who are ready for a rewarding project dog.

Rooster can occasionally misread other dogs or feel unsure, so continued guidance will help him grow in confidence.
