Hi!  I’m Spice!!
I am a 6 1/2 month old female Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, but I look like a Border Collie.  
Right now I weigh @25 lbs, still growing, with legs out the wazoo!  I’m 19 inches tall at the withers (shoulders). 
I’m living with my foster mom & dad in the Dallas area along with a bunch of other dogs and a few cats.  Boy, do we have fun!! The cats won’t agree, but they’re fun when they run and I chase them!  My foster mom says not to do it and sometimes I even listen to her.  She says I probably shouldn’t go to a home with a cat or cats, unless they will stand their ground and not run.  Those cats are boring!

I have a blast with the other dogs. There are a couple of border collies, a pitbull - he’s very nice and likes me - a Pekingese who can be kinda grumpy so I respect his space.  He actually tugged with me one day!!  My favorites are a Catahoula mix, weird breed, huh?!? named Dudley and Swish, a 9 year old Border Collie.  They like to run with me, zoomies around the backyard!!  Dudley wrestles with me, too. 

I was in a home with a 4 year old girl that I liked to run up behind and nip her on the rear!  Sometimes I jumped up on her, but that scratched her, so her mom decided I needed to go to another home without small children.  That’s when I went to my foster home.  I was only about 4 months old then.  

My foster parents play lots of games with me.  They say they need to “run my energy out” - HA!  Fat chance!  They’ve only been able to do that a few times.  I love to fetch a tennis ball, a stick, a floppy frisbee, even a fleece braided tug toy!!  I love my tug toy ‘cause I love to tug!  I also love treats - actually, anything edible and I have tried to eat a lot of stuff.  My foster mom sometimes takes stuff away from me, but she gives me something else to chew on instead, so that’s ok.  

My mom thinks I should go to a very active home.  One that would do stuff like agility, flyball, barn hunt, even Nosework/Scentwork!  My mom and Swish go places to compete in Nosework/Scentwork, so she’s taught me a little of it and I’m pretty darn good at it!!  That’s because I get yummy treats for finding these weird smells.  Piece of cake for a pup as smart as me!!

Speaking of smart, I am house trained, know sit, down, a short stay, to give my paw and other paw, get it, give, leave it, Yes!! and Good Girl!  I like those last two.  I am crate trained, but I do bark at the cats or other dogs who walk by or go outside before I get out.  I’m learning to be more quiet, but it’s kinda hard!  I do sleep all night without barking, even if a cat walks by quietly.  I’m pretty good on lead/leash.  I might pull a little, but not much or hard.  My foster mom uses a rolling walker, so I have to be good for her when we walk.  

I don’t “resource guard,” whatever that is. Mom told me to put that.  She can take anything out of my mouth.  I don’t get upset if another dog gets a treat on the ground near me.  I’m cool!

If you think you’re up to adopting me for your forever fun girlfriend, then fill out an adoption application for me at the website address listed below.  I’ll be waiting!!!
