APS OF ORANGE COUNTY — Hey, I am Ernie. I’m a 2 year old border collie! Take me out to the agility field,NO W! I am so ready to be doing something fun and athletic I can hardly contain my excitement. I was obviously owned by someone who didn’t know that border collies need jobs, fun and games to keep them happy. As of now I am still learning my basic commands but I am SO SMART I could learn to do backflips if you wanted me to. I love tennis balls and tugging on my leash, which could be a good thing if I get into agility or flyball.Y ou could use tugging to motivate me to do my best and give me something fun to tug at the end of my star run! I am a really handsome fellow with a big smile that lights up a room. Agility enthusiasts; PICK ME! PICK ME! Come see me at Animal Protection Society of Orange County, 6311 Nicks Road, Mebane, or call 304-2300.
