Support and Health

How much training will I need?

Needs ongoing support

Can I be left alone?

Yes

Figgy has been able to be left for a couple of hours in her previous home. She could do so again after an initial settling period.

Do I have any medical conditions?

None

Figgy has a clean bill of health and can be fully insured after rehoming. 

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 - Should be securely housed and be able to kept away from Figgy if necessary

Additional information

Figgy wishes to play with other dogs, however she can be over the top about it, which they don’t always appreciate.

She is undergoing training around them which will need to be continued in her new home. She does have the potential to make some dog friends on walks as she has made a few here at Woodgreen. Any dogs she goes on walks with will need to be very well socialised and confident, so they can deal with her energetic enthusiasm.

 

Family and environment

What kind of family am I looking for?

Figgy can live with children aged 8+.

She is a very bouncy girl but once she gets to know you she will show her sweet side, nuzzling into you and cuddling up on the sofa.

What type of environment would suit me?

Figgy will need a secure garden with 6ft fencing so she’s got a safe space to let out her energy with her favourite toys (frisbees, balls and cuddly toys), as well as continuing her training.

She really loves digging, so having a sandpit or dig box available for her to use would be beneficial as an outlet.

About Figgy

Figgy is a fun-loving, lively girl with a wonderful personality and plenty of charm.

She’s incredibly affectionate and loves spending time with her people. Whether she’s out exploring new places or enjoying playtime with her favourite toys, Figgy approaches life with enthusiasm and joy.

She’s a clever girl who would thrive with a family committed to continuing her training and helping her reach her full potential.

Figgy is eager to learn and will reward her family with endless affection, laughter, and companionship.

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