Adopt Skippy

Skippy

Male DOB July 2025
Skippy is a male Border Collie with very classic markings. Skippy’s start to life was both awesome and tough, so he is looking for a very special and understanding new home. He bonds deeply with his human and is very loving and eager to please, but it takes a bit of time (and at his own pace) to get him to trust you. Once he does, he is all in (especially if a tennis ball is involved). He is wary of strangers and cannot go to a home where there are loads of people in and out. We are also not comfortable placing him with small children, so teenagers and older only. If you want a dedicated canine companion and are prepared to win this boy over, he will defend you with his life!

Terms and Agreement

During any dog’s stay with us we have endeavored to give him not just food and shelter, but also the love and affection every dog craves. This compassion cannot and must not stop when he goes to a new home.

You as a responsible dog owner will understand why we need home checks and other information before your application can be accepted and why we have certain conditions when a dog is adopted by you. Our aim and duty is to ensure any adopted dog receives a good home with responsible loving care.

For this reason we ask you to please read these declarations carefully and make sure that you understand them and your obligations when adopting and owning a Border Collie before you sign the completed form.

By submitting this form, I acknowledge that I have read the following points and commit to following them.

I undertake that:

  1. I am over 18 years of age and can afford the services of a private veterinary practitioner, and will ensure that vaccinations are kept up to date and in the case of illness or injury will take the dog to the vet for treatment without delay.

  2. The adopted Border Collie will have a sleeping area raised off the ground with protection from the wind and rain and that there is adequate shade during the hot summer months.

  3. I will allow the adopted Border Collie to sleep indoors at night.

  4. I will not willingly allow the adopted Border Collie to roam the streets or run free at night and that I will fit a leather or strong webbing collar with a suitable identification tag.

  5. I am prepared to pay the non-refundable adoption fee (see website for details).

  6. I will contact Border Collie Rescue, Cape Town if I have found a dog at another shelter or am no longer interested in adopting one, so they can remove my application.

  7. The completion of this form and/or the checking of my property does not guarantee me a dog from Border Collie Rescue.

  8. I have researched the breed-specific requirements and understand Border Collies need a huge amount of stimulation, exercise and attention and that many Border Collies are extremely afraid of fireworks and other loud noises.

EVERY BORDER COLLIE LEAVING BORDER COLLIE RESCUE IS STERILISED, INNOCULATED, DEWORMED AND MICRO-CHIPPED BEFORE GOING TO THEIR NEW LOVING FOREVER HOME.
