Hi. My name is Biscuit, or as I'm better known, Houdini, the great escape artist. I have a penchant for escaping any kind of confinement, but am so sweet and loving, you can't be upset with me no matter how often I dig under the fence. I'm supposedly a Sheltie / Chow Chow mix, or at least that's what my former owner told the shelter when they left me there to die from heartworms. My foster families have all agreed, however, that I have more of a Border Collie personality (very driven & job oriented) than Sheltie (shy & reserved), so we aren't sure what I am! Since being rescued, I've been treated and have recovered nicely. I still need to gain some weight back, but I'm very food motivated, so it shouldn't be too hard to get me back to where I'm supposed to be. I do have a thyroid problem, but am on medication that keeps it under control. I crave attention, and have learned to sit and wait. With more practice, I will make a good obedience or agility dog. My personality traits lean more towards the Chow side, so if you are looking for a shy Sheltie, I'm not the right dog for you. I need a job, otherwise I get bored. My way of relieving the boredom is to go on a walkabout. Even though I always find my way home afterwards, I need to live with a family that understands my strong desire to go wandering and who will make every effort to keep me under control. I absolutely must have a fence and supervision, even though it is unlikely to keep me in for long unless I have a reason to stay. I also have a somewhat pronounced prey drive and will chase anything that runs, so can only go to a home without cats or small dogs. My preference is to be an only, spoiled dog, but if you do have other dogs, I sure hope it's a big, strapping boy, as I don't like to have competition for being the alpha female. My foster mom fusses with me about something I get into every day, but she adores me nonetheless. I am easy to want to spoil rotten. I am housebroken and crate trained, though since I'm not a fan of confinement, leaving me in the crate for long periods of time really hurts my feelings and I'll cry until you let me out. I am spayed, up-to-date on my shots, heartworm and flea preventative, heartworm and fecal negative and am microchipped. My adoption fee is $275. (emj)
