Fostered In: Perth, ON Name: PJ Age: 6-7 years Breed: Rough Collie Dogs: Yes (needs another dog in his new home) Cats: Yes Kids: 12+ Special Needs: 100% deaf, 100% blind MUST haves: Fully fenced yard, another laid-back dog in the home P.J. is a super sweet boy who navigates the world by mapping his areas and once that is done, he gets along just fine. He can do one or two steps, can navigate his yard outside, knows exactly where his food and water dishes are and where his doggie pool is to cool off when he's warm outside. He would love another laid-back dog in his new home, one who will let him play "jump and find me" with him! He also loves to play with his humans, and, like a lot of the blind dogs, will use his mouth to grab and nibble on arms and legs. He does occasionally like to to a sneaky bum nip if he can creep up behind you! P.J. is not an active boy by any means, and doesn't need much in the way of daily walks (although he is good on leash!). He is good with some play time in the yard and then he likes to lay outside and feel the air and sniff all the things wafting by. By far though, P.J.'s favourite thing is to sleep. He's a napper. While P.J. is good in the house, "well-behaved" is sort of subjective. He gets into....everything. He loooooves to explore. Using his nose and his mouth are how P.J. navigates the world, so finding random things to toss around and play with make him very excited! SOCK = YAY! DISHTOWEL = YAY! SHOE = YAY! He cannot be left unattended when loose as he will get into anything and everything. He does NOT like a crate, however, so best for him is an area that is babygated (a room with the door open and a baby gate across for example), where he can still smell and sense the goings on of the house but stay safe at the same time. P.J. knows several touch signals (come, sit, lie down). Someone who wanted to spend time to teach him more will find him easy to work with as he's super smart and very food motivated! P.J. is an easy dog in that he just wants a soft bed, a place in the yard, lots of naps, and good butt and ear scritches. He's a happy, affectionate boy who is also independent and happy to do his own thing if you are busy. He is a BIG boy with a profuse coat and needs regular grooming. He is not a fan of home brushing and will try to take the brush from you, or play, or get grumpy....anything to stop the brushing. He's better at the groomer's by far.
