Hope

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1402504201923419&type=3 Hope - Available! Intake date 28 April 2026 . black and white (long) smooth coated female border collie, 1-2 years old, 40? lbs . Hope came to us from a partner because she needed more individual training and attention than she was able to receive in order to work in the public sector. She doesn't know much, but is learning quickly! . Hope is crate trained, excellent with other dogs, rides well in a vehicle while crated, and is good with appropriately introduced strangers. Hope does need work on all of the basics -- she will get some of that here, but anyone interested in her should be prepared to continue her training. Hope would enjoy the company of other dogs in her new home, she is appropriate after a proper introduction to cats, and has met a very dog savvy child of 6 and adores her. . This dog is located in Maryland - we do not ship or transport dogs. For information on adoption, an FAQ, and our application, please see our website at mabcr.org. If you are interested in adoption, please submit an application, complete with documentation. . Dogs that have not lived previously with children will not be offered to homes where young (generally under 12) children reside. We do not 'test' dogs with children or cats, since testing here will not show an accurate picture, and may give potential adopters false comfort. If a dog has lived with children or cats, that will be stated in their description. We do begin crate training all dogs on intake, however, we do not guarantee housebreaking, though most dogs are at a minimum, situationally housebroken. . We do not place dogs as ESA, nor will we place a dog as hypo-allergenic. Applicants interested in adoption of a potential service dog must be actively working with an experienced trainer. Please indicate on the application what skills a potential service dog will be asked to perform. q general, we do not DNA test our dogs in residence. If we do not know a dogs genetic background, we will not advertise it as such, and would prefer that folks not 'guess' publicly. . Please note that some dogs may be placed with an alter deposit and contract, and any dog of any age may be placed with a training deposit and contract -- this would be noted on offer, prior to placement. For additional information on these policies, please see our website. . Questions about dogs are generally not answered here due to lack of staffing. All available dogs may not be listed on our website due to time constraints and does not effect a specific dog's availability. Additional information and photos will be posted here as time permits. ***********
