4 yr old border collie looking for a new home

Hi, it is with the heaviest of hearts that we are looking to rehome our 4 year old border collie, Ollie. This is through absolutely no fault of his own, and is just a change in lifestyle/career has meant we are unable to provide him with the active lifestyle that he craves.

Ollie is incredibly active and loves nothing more than chasing his ball for hours and long walks.

He is still young and full of life. He is very loving and will sit with you and cuddle into you all night long.

He has plenty of experience of being around kids. He has stayed with my mother in law who has a dog, but that's really his only experience of "living" with another animal. On walks he will recall brilliantly with the squeak of a ball. He tends to be ball focused and as long as you're throwing that ball he doesn't pay too much attention to anything else really.

He needs a home who can provide him with a couple of long or active walks. He has been camping with us a couple of times and he loves the outdoors, but we did get him just before Covid so our plan to take him camping from a young age was squashed and so he can be nervous of the noises.

In the house he is very boisterous and jumpy with visitors, he can sometimes be a bit wary, particularly if people are wearing hats, sunglasses, that kind of thing. He takes a few minutes to calm down when people arrive at the house and likes to welcome people and say hello.

He can bark when he hears strange noises outside.

Ollie is castrated. he is fully up to date with his vaccines, he is flea and worm treated every month, he is microchipped. Ollie is currently fed dry food, which I soften with hot water.

It is really important to us that Ollie goes to a loving and welcoming home. It is important to know that this is not because of anything Ollie has done. It is purely that we are not able to keep up with the walking and time that Ollie needs. I work full time, and my husband has a new job where he is working away a lot of the time and so Ollie is left on his own through the day.
