She has the most beautiful blue eyes, a white tipped nose and paws with fur like velvet. LOVE is a slender 40 pounds with a girlish figure. She has long, showgirl legs and loves to run more than anything else. Kissing is a close second. This high energy dog is very active, playful and full of affection.

ADOPTED – SUNNY

January 29, 2022

ADOPTED - A big “hello” to SUNNY, our darling 4-year-old, tri-colored, classically marked rough-coated border collie. This beautiful girl, weighing in at a sleek 45lbs, is a total love bunny!! She is very affectionate; she loves people; and she bonds well to both men and women. She is polite and patient, and does vocalize, but is most often quiet. She does not bark needlessly; she will, however, boldly warn you of strangers nearby. SUNNY responds well to praise. She sits, lays down, and responds well to her name, and while in confined spaces, a simple whistle will retrieve her quickly.

Meet FIONA, a beautifully marked 55-pound 2-year-old! FIONA is a sweet girl who wants to be with her people, and loves to play and run. She is very smart and will be a joy to teach/mentor.

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 RAZZBERRY

January 6, 2022

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 – RAZZBERRY is sweet & in-your-face affectionate; she doesn’t take “no” for an answer. She is confident, adventurous, & is involved in everyone else’s play. She is the first one to go on adventures in the house, yet she can settle & cuddle, too. RAZZBERRY is a good eater & very food-motivated, which will make finding motivation for training a snap.

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 – SMOOTHIE

January 6, 2022

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 – SMOOTHIE is the most loving & calm of all the puppies when it’s time for cuddles or when she’s settled after lots of activity. This girlie is food-motivated & figures out quickly what it takes to get what she wants. You do something with her & she says “I’ve got it” & tries to do it again & again to get reward. Her favorite games are tug & tug & tug & then, go chase a ball; when truly settled, she likes a nice chew toy to go to sleep with.

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 – WAFFLE

January 6, 2022

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 – Classically-marked WAFFLE is the smallest girlies, & at first blush, the most delicate. She is quiet & takes things in, checking things out before joining the fun. She is easy-going & never pushy. That said, Waffle is silly in her play—bouncing around, standing up, rolling, & kicking. All of the puppies are her playmates, & like her siblings WAFFLE enjoys tugging with the other pups & with people. Waffle likes people; & she loves to cuddle, give kisses, & even to bundle up after she settles from play. She would love a quieter, adult home.

ADOPTED – LATTE

January 6, 2022

ADOPTED – LATTE’s short, easy-to-care for coat is a glorious mix of colors. This girl’s second name is FUN. Latte is curious, adventurous, & is willing to step out & try things on her own. Even with her adventurous spirit, she is still cuddly & affectionate, giving kisses & seeking comfort from her person & her littermates.

ADOPTED – OATMEAL

January 6, 2022

ADOPTED – OATMEAL (OATIE) is willing to try anything. He likes water a lot—both to drink & to play in. Like his littermates he likes to tug with the other puppies, but his favorite playtime activities are to shake stuffed toys or to grab & tussle on his own with hanging tug toys. Oatmeal is very affectionate & social with everyone he meets.

ADOPTED – MUFFIN MAN

January 6, 2022

ADOPTED – MUFFIN MAN likes to give kisses as a reward when you sing his theme song (“Do You Know the Muffin Man?”) to him. He is very loving; in fact, his foster mom called him a “big ball of love.” He is curious & adventurous, but he especially likes to do whatever the group is doing. And when he’s done playing hard with the group or chewing squeaky toys on his own, he likes to fall asleep on the stuffed red dog.

ADOPTED – DUKE

January 6, 2022

ADOPTED - DUKE is a gorgeous 53-pound, 2-year-old BC/Yellow Lab mix boy. He is incredibly athletic & loves to run full out & to jump. (He would be a great running partner or hiking buddy). Even though he likes to jump, Duke is a kind boy, & he doesn't jump up on people; when his front feet leave the ground it's only to give his person a gentle hug. He loves people & gets along beautifully with the dogs in his foster home. He lived previously in a home with 6 other dogs, & he is reported to have gotten along well with all of them, too. We don't know about cats.

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 BANDIT

January 4, 2022

ADOPTED 1/22/2022 Meet BANDIT, a small (38#), 8-year-old boy who is ready to find his forever home. Bandit was clearly neglected in his former life, but he's loving life now after a dental, grooming, & a diet, as well as the attention of his foster family who loves him dearly. Bandit likes meeting new people & exploring new places. He likes to go for rides in the car & going for walks on a leash, & while he is not trained to heel yet, he does walk nicely on a leash. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home, but he loves one-on-one attention so much that his ideal home would be one in which he is the only dog. While Bandit wins the Mr. Congeniality Award with people & other dogs, he is most definitely not a cat man. He needs a home with no cats.
