Mama Wren’s Puppies

May 31, 2020

Due to the overwhelming response we will not be reviewing any more applications for the puppies for now. Thank you for your understanding.

Meet Bolt! This 1 ½ to 2 year old, 40 lb, smooth coat Border collie is high energy, high drive, and looking for a working home. He is a great athlete, wicked smart, food motivated, toy motivated, and has awesome working drive. He shows lots of promise to be a very nice competitive herding dog and Frisbee dog and potentially other sports with right handler. And to top it all off, he has a super sweet temperament and loves his people. He follows his handler around adoringly and loves soliciting cuddles and belly rubs.

Hi, my name is NEWTON. My foster family says I am a senior, but I'm not even the oldest dog in the house, so I don't really know what that means.
