Borat's a sweet, quiet and pretty mellow guy. He was found as a stray with a chain around his neck that was so tight that it had to be cut off. He's good at wriggling out of things; that bit of what's known of his past shows where he got in his practice. He’s a bit of a Houdini. Piecing that together with his initial 'house manners,' it's clear that the majority of his young life was spent chained up outside. 

Though Borat’s had a past that’s a rather sad story, he shows no signs of it these days. People are his favorite thing. He’s not one to give a bunch of kisses but he does love very much to be hugged and will casually jump up to give people hugs. He’s been exposed to men, women, girls and boys of all ages and has proven to have no aggression in him towards people what so ever. Everybody that meets him adores him!

Borat is also currently living with a 15-year-old cat. He’s shown no issues with biting, growling nor chasing with this roomie. They’ll sniff noses, lay around on the bed or couch together – and there’s no competition when their momma’s sitting down to eat delicious food either.

Borat has also been around dogs of all breeds and sizes – and has always remained gentle, never one to pick a fight. He does have a thing for chasing squirrels, though. That, (mixed with his former runaway past) makes a good applicant one who has a fenced-in yard or doesn’t mind taking him out for potty breaks on a leash.

He has learned a great deal in his time with his foster mom. He knows such tricks as: “down” (he’ll lay down), “sit,” “catch” (catching food) and “up” (stands up for a treat). Car rides had seemed like an entirely new thing to him at first. Even more so than walks, car rides have become his absolute favorite thing! Whether it be a 15 minute trip to run errands or a four hour road trip, he sits or lays down quietly in the backseat for the entire drive – he’s soooo excited when he gets to come along!

Since he had previously lived outdoors, potty training has been a new thing for him as well. He’s at about a 90% and has gotten the hang of letting his foster mom know when he has to go out. He is fine all the time when she is home now but still has accidents sometimes while she is at work. He has come a long way and just needs a bit more help to take that 90% trained to a 100%. Different options of what could help finish off this part of his training are welcomed to be openly discussed with an applicant.
