Support and Health

How much training will I need?

Needs ongoing support

Can I be left alone?

Potentially, once settled

Bella has been left home alone previously, we feel that after a settling in period and some training she could be left home alone again. Bella is a clever girl and needs lots of mental and physical stimulation, she should be left with plenty of toys and enrichment.

Do I have any medical conditions?

None

Bella has a history of conjunctivitis, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome this pet and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical concern, be that historic or ongoing, is discussed with your own vet prior to any book out appointment. Due to the nature of the medical concern, a vet call with one of our onsite vets will be required before the pet goes home.

Who I can live with

Can I live with dogs?

No

Can I live with cats?

No

Can I live with small pets?

Yes, conditionally - if securely housed

Additional information

Bella has been a little unsure of dogs onsite, she has sometimes barked at them. She does much better with calmer dogs who can understand her need for space, we do feel with positive interactions she can build up some social interactions.

Family and environment

What kind of family am I looking for?

Bella has lived in a home with children of varying ages and would be happy living with children aged 8+ who can interact with her with kind hands; in return, she’d love to play fetch with her tennis balls! Bella should be walked by adults on the lead.

What type of environment would suit me?

Bella doesn’t necessarily need her own private garden, however, she will need very regular exercise with lots of opportunity to explore and really be her collie-self! Bella does have a history of being reactive to vehicles and would like to live in an area where she won’t bump into cars too often, we can show you what training we have been practicing with Bella.

About Bella

Beautiful Bella is looking for a home filled with love and affection to match her sweet and gentle nature. This loving girl enjoys nothing more than having a cuddle with her people and will lean into her humans to let them know what she is after! She enjoys going for her walks and also loves play time- she will even place the toys up against her people’s legs when she is looking to get her humans involved in play. Her soft eyes and kind personality is bound to have you falling in love at first sight, its happened with all of her handlers here! Now we are just hoping the same can be said for a home that she could call her very own.

Border Collies are always on their paws and need lots of exercise! Learn more about the breed at Ask Woodgreen.
