POSTED ON BEHALF OF HOPE RESCUE
Callum is a 6 month old tri merle collie and is currently on foster in Heage, Derbyshire.
Callum is looking for a new foster or forever home
The Callum Fact File
Dog status: Good but can become overexcited
Cat status: Has chased cats in the past, could possibly learn to live with them with correct introductions
Child status: Not suitable for children
House training: Good
Home alone: Callum is crate trained and can be left happily for short periods. Not suitable for full time workers
Basic training: Callum knows basic obedience commands but needs further training to improve his life skills and manners.

Callum is a stunning dog who has tonnes of personality and character to go with his good looks. He is looking for an expeienced new forever or foster home. Ideally we would like to find someone who is experienced with border collies or other herding breeds.
Callum is only a young lad and he easily becomes over stimulated and excited. He lived with full time workers and was crated for long periods in his previous home so they made the decision to sign him over to us to rehome. However, moving to a busier environment with his foster carers where there are lots of other dogs to interact with and new sights to see he is struggling to get to grips with his rising adrenalin and mental stimulation. Callum can become OTT very quickly and does not have any coping strategies relating to self control or dealing with frustration. His only current coping strategies are to get wildly excited and play the fool or he can use his teeth if people try to move him. He is not biting hard but will puppy mouth and nip in an attempt to make himself feel beter and control his rising frustration. His stress levels are high due to his over stimulation and he is having to be encouraged to settle and chill out as much as possible.
All Hope Rescue dogs are neutered, vaccinated, wormed, flea treated and microchipped prior to rehoming. A homecheck will be required, and you will need to come and meet the dog with your own dogs and family. We have a suggested minimum donation of £160.
