Apollo

My story

Apollo is a 4-year-old Border Collie with a loving, lively personality. He is house/crate trained and knows basic commands. He is very active and needs daily exercise and mental stimulation; without enough, he can become hyper and reactive, but with his needs met he is calm and well behaved. He has anxiety around unfamiliar people/animals and may snap defensively, so slow introductions and an experienced handler are essential. His reactivity has improved significantly but still needs training. He has a past history of leash-related nipping when highly reactive, though this has not happened for quite a while. He is affectionate with children and has lived with cats. Recently, he had two incidents with a household kitten during play, causing injuries requiring vet visits, including a scratch near the eye. They are currently separated/muzzled together. He also becomes intensely fixated on shadows/movement. He needs an experienced home able to provide structure and stimulation.
