Seeking: One ranch. Endless room to run. A full-time job. Bonus points if you appreciate a little sass.
Hi. I’m Chili… but my friends call me Chili Dog. I’m a gorgeous red Border Collie with a sharp mind, endless ambition, and absolutely zero interest in being a couch potato.
My ideal position includes:
- Acres to roam
- Livestock or a job to do
- Humans who understand working dogs
- Plenty of opportunities to use my brain
Border Collies don’t just want a job, they NEED one. If you’ve got a ranch, farm, or an active lifestyle where I can stay mentally and physically challenged, we’re already speaking the same language.
Now… let’s talk about people. I can be a little anxious when meeting someone new. I like to take a moment to decide if you’re trustworthy. But once I know you’re one of the good ones? Oh, I’m all in. I absolutely love being loved on, soaking up affection, and spending time with my favorite humans.
And about that leash… I wasn’t exactly thrilled when the shelter introduced me to one. Frankly, I’d rather be free to do my job. But to appease the humans, I learned to walk on it anyway. See? I’m adaptable… when I feel like it.
I’m smart, driven, loyal, and full of personality. Give me purpose, patience, and a little understanding, and I’ll become the kind of partner you’ll wonder how you ever lived without.
So, if you’re looking for a dog to lounge around all day… keep scrolling.
But if you’re searching for a hardworking ranch hand with a soft side, a brilliant mind, and just enough sass to keep you humble…
I’m accepting applications. Serious inquiries only.
