Receive Text UpdatesStanley’s absolute favorite toy in the world is to play fetch with his ball! But if given the chance, his natural instincts to herd sheep turn on anytime he’s near them. At home, his favorite treat is to devour a bully stick or lick peanut butter out of his kong!
While most Border Collies are known for their intense, high-energy drive, Stanley possesses a rare, stoic calm. This allows him to be a laser-focused medical alert dog, monitoring Lex’s health with life-saving precision, and a gentle, patient nanny the next. His ability to tolerate any new foster makes him a one-of-a-kind mentor. He doesn't just live with the fosters; he actively teaches them boundaries and social cues, showing a level of paternal patience that is incredibly rare for his breed!
Stanley is the perfect blend of a dedicated professional and a nurturing mentor (showcased on TikTok @lexlikestofoster). He truly captures the hearts of all that meet him, and always makes people feel special and seen. No person or critter is a stranger to Stan the man! With a legendary off-switch and infinite patience, he shows his gratitude for life in the love he shows every living thing on the planet. He is so unbelievably special, and we feel honored to share him with the world.
