Chloe
Chloe was rescued off the street by the KC HSUS
and housed at the Kansas City , Kansas facility
while hoping her owners would come to her rescue. Instead
she was rescued by a Mo-Kan foster family and has fit right
in her new foster home in Liberty, Mo.
Since her name was not known, her new name, after much discussion,
is Chloe and it fits her very well.
Chloe is a very high energy Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix with
an interest in playing with anybody in her
family that is ready to go. She likes to play ball, Frisbee
or just plain old wrestling with her sisters. Snow is a lot of fun to run and roll in.
She is about a one year old with a puppy playful attitude that
has shown a willingness to learn anything Mom and Dad take the time to teach her. She can sit, shake,
stay and come to her name when called. We
are working on lay down, catch a ball or treat in the air,
and walking on the leash without pulling. She
is doing better with these every day. She
has a very high food drive and will do anything for a treat.
Since she eats her food so fast we have taught
her to eat a little and then sit until we give her some more
food and the she can come to the bowl for more. She now does this almost all on her own.
We have been working on her house and human manners which are
coming along very nicely. She is now doing very well on her trips into the house where she investigates
everything for food and plays and wrestles with her sisters. She will do a little counter
surfing if left alone but ceases immediately when caught.
She does not have good manners yet with our cat and she has
no experience around young kids.
She is not completely house broken but continues to make improvement
when she is allowed in the
house area. Fortunately she does not defecate in her pen or
in the house at all. Strictly a little piddler and quite often that is from getting excited.
Chloe is looking for a very high energy home where she can
get a lot of play time with her new family. She
gets along well with other dogs and takes direction from a
dominant dog very well if she gets too rambunctious.
She is not much for setting on the couch and cuddling with
someone but she has shown some potential for that when she gets really tired from playing.
She stays well in her pen and doesn’t bark a lot but
does not care a lot for small kennels. We
think she is ready for a high energy home with some family and
dog friends to play with every day.
Update: 2/5/2010 Our Chloe is still very active
but now she gets to spend up to two hours every evening at
our family/dog play time in the
great room.
She has come to really enjoy that interaction with us and our
two BC's Salli and Abby. It is a play time free for all catching
balls and playing tug and sometimes just wrestling around on
the floor.
In fact she has come to enjoy it so much that she starts barking
around 6:30 to come upstairs and start the fun.
She has also started to let us know when she needs to do
her business outside by stopping her play and going to
the door
and then looking at us to let her out.
She likes to counter surf and we are working
with her to put a stop tp that.
When we tell her play time is over she readily runs to the
stairs and goes to her kennel willingly to get her treat
and go to bed. She is slowly turning into a great BC.
