Thistle

Thistle is a 2-year-old Male Border Collie listed at 44 lb working weight. Kennel certificate VH-2410-TH. Working task: On veterinary hold. He is on veterinary hold (file VH-2410-TH) and cannot be placed until that review clears. Thistle meets the age-2 floor for adoption. Two years old but not fit until a cardiac/soundness review clears. Personality would suit medical work. He is not available. He is trained for public access on this kennel’s protocol: stores, clinics, lodging, and transit with a down-stay and a vest. Off duty his rest is scheduled, not optional. He is crate-trained as a safety tool. Not a protection or patrol animal. Not a dog-park dog. Not a pet-only companion in stores. Handler requirement: First working dog accepted if the home, rest schedule, and task need match. Energy: High — daily skill reps required Housing: House with a yard preferred; apartments accepted if the task matches. Coat care is part of the placement — budget grooming. Medical and psychiatric tasking on this kennel is handler-specific. Keep a written task list. Paying the placement amount does not by itself create a government-issued service animal. Placement amount is $1,000 (kennel band $1,000–$30,000). Guests may file without a soldier unique code. Only dogs age 2 or older who are fit can be selected.
