About Chloe (Border collie) à Onondaga

Chloe is waiting for you at Come Bye Border Collie Rescue in Onondaga, MI 49264. Chloe Update: March 2026 Chloe just celebrated her 1-year anniversary in her foster home this week. She has grown so much in the past year. Physically, mentally and confidently! She is up to an even 30 pounds with a very petite frame.

She has been fostered on a farm with plenty of safe space to run. With that in mind, I would like to send a word of caution to having her as a city dog. She may not be as “athletic” as some dogs, but she has more than enough gas in the tank to need more than a couple walks around the block to keep her happy. My other word of caution is that she may not be the best “dog park dog” for a very long time. With her cautious nature, I fear that if she is free in a dog park and gets scared, she would be very difficult to catch safely. Chasing her is out of the question. She is super fast, errs on the side of caution and will be gone before you can say “go!” Her hesitancy with new people would be a hindrance for her right now at a dog park as well. With time, training and bonding I think all of these concerns could be worked out for Chloe, however, she is not ready for that kind of life just yet on her own. It is absolutely possible to give Chloe a full and enriched life in the city, but it will take work, patience and time. Are you ready for that kind of love??? Cats…. Inside the house kitties are just fine. She is polite with the resident antique kitty. Outside is a completely different story. She will give chase to a
