Featured Dogs
JACK AVAILABLE
Meet 4-month-old JACK (of the Three’s Company litter; sisters Janet & Crissy are fostering with other families and will be available soon). The smallest of the three pups at 20 pounds, Jack is a rowdy, fun-loving, energetic boy, who loves people and other dogs with equal enthusiasm. Everyone and everything is his play pal. He even finds or makes a party at the vet’s office (see photos). He is very photogenic with his North by Northeast ears highlighted in every picture.
MARGIE AVAILABLE
MARGIE is a quiet, mature soul at only 2-years-old. She connects quickly to people, and her human is her emotional anchor. This 44-pound cuddlebug loves to be next to you, crawling in your lap, and flipping upside down for the occasional belly rub. Get up though and she is right with you, following along to see what you are up to. She is a lower energy border collie, content to curl up in her bed nearby while her foster mom works.
JAGGER
JAGGER is a darling 19-pound 4-month-old Queensland Heeler puppy who will steal your heart. Born at the end of May 2024, JAGGER is playful, sassy, athletic and a cuddlebug with his foster brother RIN. This is a puppy with lots of energy for fun and games, and maybe a little mischief! He is most happy when he can lead the pack in a game of chase, wrestle while RIN lies on the floor, or nap near your feet or with his buddies. JAGGER is very athletic, having no problem in jumping up on things that are much higher than him - the bed, the couch, and more! A fast learner, JAGGER will love to learn new things that will make him think as well as play & exercise.
PERKINS AVAILABLE
Hi, my name is Perkins – just call me Perk - and I am about 7 1/2 years young. My Mom thinks I am a Border collie mixed with some type of guardian dog because I watch over my family and pack mates. I have notified them TWICE of rattlesnakes in our yard, barking loudly while keeping my pack mates at a safe distance away. Mom says I am a hero dog, as we have little kids and lots of dogs in our yard that need protection from dangers like that.
CRUZ AVAILABLE
Meet CRUZ, a handsome 4 ½ to 5-year-old, 40 pound, smooth-coated black-and-white boy with classic border collie markings. A sweet, happy boy, he immediately takes to people. In fact, his favorite place to be is with people. He needs nothing more than a human to pet him, and a lap in which to drop his head, to be content. He is comfortable and enjoys the outdoors, but CRUZ has a strong drive to be inside where he can be safe, warm (or cool), secure, and near his family.
SKITTLES
SKITTLES was a great mom to her 10, yes 10, awesome Sweets and Treats puppies, and now she is ready for her forever home. Once her babies were adopted SKIT really began to shine. She has come a long way from the pancaking, pregnant, and shy gal to the protective, correcting mom, to a friendly, outgoing gal we foster parents love. She gets along well with people and other dogs. She’s been fine around the cats, but with her husky bloodlines we’d still caution against a home with cats. SKITTLES is about 2 1/2years of age, 52 lbs., with a thick medium coat.
