Rico

Rico is a 5 year old neutered Black and White short coated Collie. He came into our care from a rescue in Ireland. He was an unwanted pet, we are told he lived with children but we don't know what ages they were. He has lived in a rural area so will need introducing to new environments gradually. Rico is a shy boy and can get worried when meeting strangers and if approached suddenly may bark, he requires time and space as once he overcomes his fears he is an affectionate boy. We wouldn't house him to live with young children.He loves to play with toys and enjoys running around off lead in our enclosed outdoor area and has shown signs of good recall. He does sometimes bark at other dogs but if introduced correctly he is usually ok. He is strong on the lead and when out walking in residential areas he does lunge towards traffic.
