Adopt CHIEF a Black Border Collie / Mixed dog in Pt. Richmond, CA (35776234)

Location:

Richmond, CA

Description:

Chief is a smart and independent boy who loves nothing more than exploring the world. He does need time and patience and respect for his personal space in order to warm up to someone, but when he does he's extremely sweet. He can get overexcited to see unfamiliar people/dogs when on leash, but he has made many dog friends and prefers friends who are calmer and don't intrude too much into his space. Notes from a volunteer who took Chief out on a couple of outings. "We have been meaning to take long time Milo resident, Chief, out for awhile now. Chief is a 6 years old, border collie mix dog, who came from the Stanislaus area. Last weekend, we decided to take him and my small pups on a short walk from Milo to the downtown part of Pt Richmond. He did really well walking with us there. He is not a big fan of fast moving bikes headed in his direction though. He is a strong boy so it is important to keep a firm grip on his leash. He is a big fan of treats so that is helpful for training, distraction, etc... We weren't sure how he would do since this was our first time taking him out away from Milo so we kept a brisk pace walking by other people and dogs and gauged his reaction. He was very curious about all the noise and the people in the area. Today, we came back in hopes of taking him to the park for a hike. Unfortunately, it started to sprinkle off and on so we took him to the big Milo park down the street instead. He behaved well and really enjoyed being out at the park. We'll try for the hike the next time we stop by. Once Chief gets to know a person and trusts them, he is an awesome dog to be around. He is also smart and loyal. "
