Meet HUGGIE, a 1-2 year-old 38 pound boy with a sweet personality and happy outlook.  He has a beautiful red and white spotted coat that is medium in length. You might guess how HUGGIE got his name – and yep, it’s because he likes to be hugged, petted, massaged, in your lap (if this was allowed). HUGGIE checks in with his foster mom and dad on a regular basis for a hug and pet session!  


HUGGIE loves to play – with a stuffed toy, with a squeaky toy, with a ball, with his foster pack mates. He also loves to chew on his deer antler, explore the yard, and play running games with his foster BCs. If there is a friend to make or a game to play, HUGGIE is there! HUGGIE rides well in the car and walks nicely on leash. A bit of training will help HUGGIE be the best dog he can be with his forever family. Click/tap here to enjoy a YouTube video of HUGGIE!


HUGGIE is micro-chipped, neutered, heart worm negative and on preventative, and up to date on vaccinations. If you have an approved Northern California Border Collie Rescue & Adoptions Application and wish to enquire about HUGGIE  please email us at Adoptions@norcalbcrescue.org.

HUGGIE is being fostered in Granite Bay in Placer County, California.
