Male Dog, Border Collie
Border Collie / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (Medium Coat)
Description:
Alex is adorable with a capital "A"! Alex is estimated to be 4 months old and is a bundle of fun, always eager to play. He brings the party wherever he goes and is definitely the instigator of wrestling time. He is looking for an active family who can keep up with his curious and adventurous personality. Alex currently weighs about 20lbs, and we guess that he will be around 60lbs when fully grown. Alex and his brother, Owen, came to us from a Central California animal shelter after they ended up on the euthanasia list due to a lack of space. They were the last two from their litter to be adopted, and we knew we couldn't let them down and we are so grateful to find a foster family for them. These boys are looking for individual homes with large dog-savvy families so they can get the one-on-one training they need. Alex is the more active and outgoing of the boys. He is also the one who wants to always be by your side. He is always ready for fun and brightens up every room with his big smile and goofy personality. When he's not romping around with his brother, he is always quite the cuddlebug and is happy to make himself comfy in your lap for some snuggle time. He is still learning all of his basic manners and needs a family dedicated to continuing his training. He hasn't had much experience out and about and will need some confidence boosting to help him thrive. Alex has done great with other dogs and loves to play with the small dog in his foster home. We think he would do best with another playful dog in his home to help mentor him, and so he always has someone to wrestle with. Alex has done well living with dog-savvy cats with a slow introduction and proper supervision. Alex could make a wonderful addition to a family with kids 10 years and older. Alex is still working on his housetraining, and his new family should be patient with him and be consistent about taking him out often. He has been doing well with his crate training and is comfortable sleeping in there at night and during the day for a few hours at a time. He has always been with his brother, so he will need some time to slowly acclimate to being alone. Alex is such a rockstar guy, and we know he is going to make a great addition to a family dedicated to helping him learn and grow.

The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption.
