About Hilda (Border collie) in Highland

Hilda is waiting for you at Come Bye Border Collie Rescue in Highland, IL 62249. Meet Hildie: Soft, Sweet, and Learning the Ropes Hildie is a gentle, loving girl with a soft heart and a sweet spirit. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is surprisingly easy for baths — calm, cooperative, and patient. She’s made incredible progress, but she’s still learning that new experiences aren’t scary. Hildie can be fearful when a collar or leash is being put on, and she’ll need a patient adopter who can go slow and help her build confidence. She also has a few barrier reactivity quirks — if she’s behind a gate, she may bark or get reactive, but once the barrier is gone, she’s her normal sweet self. Hildie loves treats… maybe a little too much! She takes them like a tiny shark, so her future family should help her learn gentle manners for taking treats. What Makes Hildie Special Sweet, affectionate, and gentle Dog-friendly and enjoys canine company Excellent for baths and grooming Working on leash-and-collar confidence Some barrier reactivity (gates, etc.), but very sweet when not behind them Treat-motivated — eager to learn Hildie is a diamond in the rough — soft, sweet, and ready to flourish with someone who understands sensitive dogs. She needs patience, kindness, and a safe place to grow into the confident girl she’s meant to be. Is she the tender-hearted companion you’ve been waiting for?
