ADOPTED - HERCULES (ADOPTED) Meet HERCULES! A sweet and cuddly 10-12-week-old puppy, HERCULES is 15 pounds with a brown/red beautifully marked medium coat and striking clear blue eyes. His face markings are distinctive – he is one handsome boy! HERCULES is highly socialized and loves being with his humans, receiving hugs and kisses, cuddling and receiving belly rubs. HERCULES is curious, playful, inquisitive and happy. He is the more adventuresome puppy in comparison to his sister Xena, seeking to play with other dogs, but knows when to take cover when his BC adult packmates become too rambunctious. HERCULES is not yet potty-trained but does sleep through the night in his crate. He travels well in the car and loves to see the world go by! Meet HERCULES!

ADOPTED – Freddy

May 30, 2022

ADOPTED – FREDDY is classically marked smooth coat black and white Border collie. He is 5 months of age, 28 lbs and full of spunk. FREDDY is a very active Border collie mouthy youngster who is still learning. And learn he will. He is very smart, knows sit, is doing ok with “crate’ (but he’d much rather be out and about), and has learned to be quiet and still before being fed. In fact that is about the only time he’s still. He does bark some, but mostly when egged on by the other dogs. He is very treat and praise motivated so training should be a blast. An adopter experienced with the personalities of Border collies / herding dogs would be a huge benefit.

ADOPTED – SIAN (pronounced Shawn)

May 29, 2022

ADOPTED - Sian (pronounced Shawn) is a lovely, 45 pound, one-year-old girl who is looking for her forever home. She has fit it so easily to her foster care home and is eager to please She prefers to be by her human’s side and will nap quietly while you are working or busy with tasks that do not involve her. If necessary, however, she is also comfortable by herself outside or resting alone in her crate.

ADOPTED – DOVE

May 23, 2022

ADOPTED - DOVE saw to it that all four of her Bird Pups found great homes, and now it’s her turn. DOVE sports a short white coat with red ticking behind her ears and an ever so subtle red strip along the middle of her back. She is slight of build. At 45 lbs. she looks like she should put on a few pounds, but even three squares a day has not resulted in added weight. We don’t know what her DNA says, but we know she has a border collie heart and mindset. She is very active, loves to run and play with her buddy Perkins and whatever puppy we have added to the mix. She loves to pick up random sticks, branches or tennis balls and let them try to catch her to take it away. They don’t succeed but they have fun trying.

ADOPTED – LAYLA

May 22, 2022

LAYLA Meet LAYLA! A sweet and cuddly 5-month-old puppy, LAYLA is 25 pounds with a semi-smooth beautifully marked coat. She is highly socialized and loves being with her humans, playing with toys, receiving hugs and kisses, cuddling on the couch and receiving belly rubs. We think LAYLA will stay on the petite side as an adult.

ADOPTED – BUCKLEY

May 5, 2022

ADOPTED - BUCKLEY (BUCK BUCK) is an 11 week male bundle of joy. This 14 pound, tri-colored Border collie mix loves life. He has fun no matter what he’s doing. He enjoys being petted, will follow you around everywhere, and enjoys playing with his three adult dog siblings. He can be a little shy when he first meets another dog, but quickly gains confidence. He is not shy at all when meeting people. He loves everyone he meets. BUCKLEY would love another dog to learn from and hang out with, but may do well in a home as an only dog if his family wants to spend lots of time with him. If there is not another dog in the family he would benefit from play dates with other dogs.
