Firefly

My story

Hi there, I’m Firefly!I`m a fun boy with a charming personality! I`m great at fetch and will stay in a down position, waiting patiently, until you throw the ball for me to expertly chase and return back to you. I`m so smart and agile - when I see a `wet floor` sign in the hallway, I naturally jump over it without even being asked! I don`t love formal handling, like vet exams, however I`ve made a ton of great progress as my GHS friends have shown me that handling is not so bad! I can be vocal and bark at things but I just tell the humans that I`m doing my heeler job! When I make human friends, I do like to jump up and lick your face!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers should be ok, but I wouldn’t be best around young kids.OTHER DOGS: No, I can get stressed and bark at other dogs. I have shown promise with gradual intros and may be able to make friends with a very easy-going dog with time.CATS: No, given my prey drive.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, someone with herding breed experience or knowledge would be most ideal.FENCED-IN YARD: Required, to help meet energy needs. Rural would also be excellent!HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any with a fully-fenced yard.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you are interested in adopting me, please click the `Adopt Me` button to apply!FOSTER ME!
