Zeb -- Available!
Intake date 12 August 2025 . Black and white rough coated neutered male border collie (ID on appearance and behavior, not DNA), appx 3 years old, appx 40 lbs . Zeb was picked up stray by a shelter and sent to us for breed placement. Zeb is a handsome old style border collie who is super soft and sensitive, and needs a home with equal sensitivity. Zeb does well with other dogs, though is easily put off by dogs who are pushy or over the top. He is crate trained, rides well while crated in a vehicle, walks nicely on leash, and is fairly easy to manage because of his sensitivity. . Zeb will thrive in a quiet home where dogs are a real part of the family. He may do well as an only dog in a home where he would included as a constant companion. Zeb can definitely use some confidence building, but he wants to please and is a quick study. . 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. . In 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. ***********
