Eric

My story

Hi there! I’m Eric — your future adventure buddy, couch companion, and all&#226&#128&#145around best friend! Border Collie Mix • Social Butterfly • Professional Good Boy Hey you! Yes, you — the one who looks like you give really great belly rubs. My name’s Eric, and I’ve been on quite the journey. Grab a snack, settle in, and let me tell you my story… because I’m hoping it ends with you and me going home together. From Yuma Streets to Hopeful New Beginnings I started my Arizona adventure in Yuma, where someone found me wandering around as a stray. I waited and waited for my family to come get me… …and waited… …and waited some more. Eight whole months. Do you know how long that is in dog time?! Let’s just say: it’s a lot of naps. But don’t feel bad — because that long wait led me somewhere amazing. I finally hitched a ride north to Central Arizona Animal Rescue, where the people here told me they’ll keep me safe until I find the perfect forever home. And maybe… just maybe… that’s you. About Me: The Handsome Devil in Black & White I’m a border collie mix, which means I’m smart, active, and full of personality. Border collies are known for their brains — but I’m known for my heart, too. I love people. All people. Big humans, little humans, strangers, friends — if you’ve got hands that can pet, I will be right there to introduce myself. Yes, I’m that dog. The friendly guy who walks up like: “Hello! I’m Eric. I noticed you weren’t petting me yet — want to fix that?” Ready to Shape Up & Get Moving I’ll be honest with you — all that downtime in the shelter means I put on a little weight. Turns out lying around waiting for months doesn’t exactly build muscle. But I’m feeling good again, I’m motivated, and I’m ready to get back in shape. Are you a runner? A hiker? Do you like going outside and doing cool, exciting, nature&#226&#128&#145y stuff? Because I’m your guy. I’m built for it, I love it, and I promise I’ll keep you smiling the whole way. I Even Have a Girlfriend (But She Says We Can See Other Humans) Here at the rescue, I met this sweet girl named Sheri — a gorgeous fellow border collie who has been my playmate and partner&#226&#128&#145in&#226&#128&#145goofiness. We get along great! So if you already have dogs, or you’re considering adopting more than one amazing pup, I’m all for it. We’re both looking for families, so if you’ve got room in your heart for two black&#226&#128&#145and&#226&#128&#145white beauties… just saying… we’d be a pretty awesome duo. Ready for My Big Day… Today! Here’s the best part: I’m already neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. That means I am 100% ready to hop into your car, ride off into the sunset, and start our new life together today. Come Meet Me — I Can’t Wait! If you’re even thinking about adopting me, please don’t wait. I’ve done enough waiting to last a lifetime. Let’s start our adventures together right away. Just send an email to: mike@caaronline.org and ask to meet Eric — the handsome border collie mix with the big smile and even bigger heart. I promise, once you meet me, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without me. Can’t wait to see you!
