Yay for ZACH who is stepping into a new life with wonderful guardians who love the breed and were drawn to this sweet guy, happy to give him a great home.
They have plenty of time to devote to him which Zach will just love plus a great yard for ball throwing. Of course, lots of belly rubs are ahead which truly make him happiest.

Having lost their beloved BC not long ago, they just knew having an empty home was not for them and loving a Senior in need felt so right. Soon as they met Zach, they were thrilled to bring him home and so are we…he now lives in Virginia.

ZACH'S HISTORY

ZACH, age 10, arrived to Glen Highland in September 2022. He is a super smart, classic BC, plugged in to everything around him. He pays attention visually and audibly just like a younger dog, quickly making sense of his world. He is very, very smart and learning his new setting extremely fast. Zach is also VERY sweet, eager to meet anyone who comes into his setting. Happiest by your side, this is a wonderful Border Collie!

He does have a very calm side since he is older and soon upon arrival, knocked off for a deep sleep, happy to be back in a home setting. He had quite the talent for laying right in the middle of his back to stretch out his legs! Zach spent almost a month at the shelter so is doing beautifully wandering around the property and unwinding.

Zach landed at a shelter in KY due to his cat problems - he is bad with cats which is why he lost his home. He will need a fenced yard knowing this is the case.

He is interested in the other Border Collies at Glen Highland and mixing just fine though it’s clear his preference would be a person to call his own. He cuddles up for some petting, offers his belly for rubs and stays so close to be sure he’s not left again. Zach loves men and women and easily adapts to whatever is asked of him.

Special thanks to Cathy Turnipseed who helped us find a wonderful person who drives dogs in need very long distances which made it easy for Zach to have one car the entire ten hour drive! He had a huge safe crate and plenty of comfort along the way in a cool van rigged for dog transport! And thanks to Marybeth Huffhine who saw him posted and wrote to us to help him!
