September 2021 - Northern California Border Collie Rescue & Adoptions

ADOPTED – ARCHIE

September 29, 2021

Meet ARCHIE, a very sweet 1.5-year-old male beautifully marked smooth coat brown and white border collie. He weighs in at a slim and slender 32 pounds and stands about 18.5 inches at the shoulder. ARCHIE is looking for a loving and caring home. ARCHIE has been a gentleman when inside the house and has not soiled his crate or kennel. ARCHIE seldom if ever barks. However, when insecure, licking and jumping have been an issue. Through consistent and gentle training, ARCHIE is quickly learning to curb these behaviors.

ADOPTED – MIA

September 21, 2021

ADOPTED - MIA (or "Missy") is a 5-to-6-year-old energetic, bunny-soft, joyful, sweet fluff-ball of love. She is a border collie/Aussie mix, who weighs 50 pounds, and don’t tell her, but she could still lose a couple of those pounds. She is intently human-focused, lives to play outside and inside, chase toys, go on adventures, get pets, chew bones and give cuddles. MIA is house-trained, signals when she needs to go, crates well, and travels in the car like a champ. She has a reliable recall without distractions.

ADOPTED – SIMBA

September 14, 2021

Our boy SIMBA is a tri-colored Border collie about 6 months of age and 32 lbs. A little thin when he got here, SIMBA is now on a three meal a day regimen to put some meat on his bones. He does not mind that one bit as he loves food and treats. What he loves most is chasing that tennis ball. He is very good at fetch, and getting better at “drop it” though that is still on his terms more than ours.

Adopted – PANSY

September 12, 2021

PANSY is a petite (32#) sweetheart. A little bit shy of first meeting, she warms up quickly to people and gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home. Pansy loves to follow her foster mom around when she does her chores in the morning and evening. She has nice house manners and is housebroken and crate-trained. All of these things said, Pansy is a "real" border collie, one that will need a job or the equivalent. She has strong drive and needs to live with someone who can provide her the outlet for her smarts and keen desire to work.

ADOPTED – BREEZE

September 12, 2021

BREEZE, or “Mama Breeze,” as we often call her, came into rescue with six adorable puppies who have happily found their forever homes. And each and every one of her pups has her “breezy,” happy-go-lucky personality. Breeze is about 2 years of age herself, so when her puppies were weened, we were delighted to see her own playful and joyful nature come out. Of all the foster mom dogs that have fostered in Breeze’s foster home, none of them have played with their puppies as if she was one of their playmates in the way Breeze did. Wrestling, tugging, chasing, tossing toys in the air, she did it all with her pups. We’re not sure what Breeze is mixed with, but whatever it is, she got the sweet and joyful genes.
