Male Dog aged 5 years.
Have you sworn off the male species? Do you like to plan your life to each precise detail? We have a dog for you!
Macon is a handsome and intelligent Border Collie, a 3 yr old male with a unique personality. Macon has a preference for a female-only household due to his past experiences with men. He is a very sensitive dog and becomes frightened when faced with unexpected changes and new people. However, he is incredibly loyal and affectionate with those he trusts, making him a perfect companion for a patient and understanding owner. Macon is an amazingly neutral dog we often trust for dog temperament testing. He is more infatuated with his human than he has ever cared about a dog.
Macon has a few hobbies that he thoroughly enjoys.
- He loves going on car rides and will sit at your door waiting for an adventure & jump in any car that has an open door!
- Hiking, Walking Trails, Running Pretty much anything in Nature - Yes, Yes and Yes!
- Do you have an arm that will throw his ball for hours and hours - You are just the person he's been wishing we were!
- Have you dreamed of a dog to work on agility and/or Dock Diving? This is exactly what this guy wants!
- Cuddle on the couch after a long day - he will happily borrow oxygen!
In the proper environment Macon is also an off-leash trained, which is a testament to his discipline and intelligence. However, his velcro dog nature and ability to frighten easily with strangers makes it important that he always stays close to his owner and safely away from others that he doesn't know. He has not pursued someone by any means yet will push them back with a growl if he feels they are a threat to him.
Macon has a sweet temperament, and his playful and loving nature makes him the perfect fit for an owner who can provide him with a calm and stable environment. He needs a home that is in a more rural area with fewer distractions and someone who can be patient with him as he adapts to new situations and people. With the right owner, Macon will undoubtedly blossom into a confident and happy dog.
Macon has proven to bond to his person and trust others to be near when his person is in the room. He can meet people as long as they do not interact with him physically or acknowledge him until he is comfortable. We believe in this guy so much that we are willing to pay for additional personalized formal training if the right family is found. He currently has 3 special ladies he trusts with all his heart whom can do anything with him and he is just happy and eager to oblige. He has met many others and has participated in group trainings with no issue as long as those there keep their distance not making him feel pressured to greet. We do understand this sounds overwhelming when looking for a pet yet if you are looking for that once in a life time pet to fill your world with love, loyalty and companionship this is your guy!
Macon is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, current on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. My adoption fee is $325. If you have read this far and still haven't turned away, reach out to our dog program manager SusanRoberts@secondchancenc.org.
