Description
Brodie is a very special Collie looking for a home
Puppy Brodie is an extremely friendly dog who loves getting cuddles and attention.
Brodie came to Animal Connexions after being found by a family. He has sight loss, but can make out shadows of shapes. For example he can tell if there is an open door or person ahead of him.
Brodie is very good at following sounds.
Brodie has learnt to navigate his new surroundings well and we have not needed to use a halo aid.
We have taken him to a secure dog field and he loved running around and exploring. He would benefit from using such a facility with his new family.
Brodie is currently in foster with another dog and loves her company.
Brodie is a recently turned 1-year-old Border Collie who is blind, and it’s genuinely one of his most special traits. Because he experiences the world mainly through scent, his brain is constantly working. This means he’s way more chilled out than you would expect from a young collie, while still being curious, affectionate, and a huge character.
He enjoys adventures too, such as countryside walks and National Trust style places like Rowallane Gardens. He navigates new environments confidently once he’s had a moment to take things in, and he’s even learned to jump in and out the car by himself! Everyone who meets him comments on how affectionate he is; he loves leaning into people and burying his face into your arms.
In a home, he’s now reliably house-trained (including when visiting new places), can live with another dog, and settles very well with routine. We’re currently working carefully on introductions to cats, he is a little unsure, so we are introducing them slowly and positively.
