ADOPTED – Gordy
ADOPTED – Meet GORDY! This sweet 6 ½ year old boy loves affection and welcomes kind words and cuddles. Weighing in at about 60 pounds, GORDY has a classic easy care black and white coat, a black round accent around his right eye, and a slight overbite, showing an adorable bit of pink tongue. Once he knows that you are friendly, he comes right up for pets and cuddles.
GORDY does well on the leash and loads up into car and travels great. He shown that he knows basic commands. He just wants to please you.
GORDY likes to know that he is in a safe environment and will do best in a quiet household without young children which he will run and hide from. Owners should understand gentle, positive behavior reinforcement and offer dedicated household areas (like a crate) where GORDY can relax. GORDY has demonstrated herding behavior and cats are definitely not on his friend list. However, GORDY gets along with his foster BCs just fine, and is quite kind to our young foster puppy, who routinely gives him kisses.
ADOPTED – TY
ADOPTED - Hi. My name is Ty. I am about 6-years-old, and I am a Border collie mix, weighing about 50 pounds. My coat is gorgeous, shiny, and medium-length. The first thing I hear people say when they meet is “What a lovely dog!” And they are right. Not only am I gorgeous, but very well- mannered and loving. I am a BUDDY dog, just bursting with cuteness, personality, and devotion. I go everywhere, and wherever I go, I am very well-behaved. No jumping, or barking, no yapping at dogs across the street, or lunging at the end of the leash, and no barking at the mailman or garbage people. I am well-balanced, calm, and centered, especially for a herding dog. I even behave well at the coffeehouse or tea shop.

ADOPTED – MEG
ADOPTED – MEG is a darling 11 pound, 10-week-old Border collie/McNab mix girlie, with the slick, easy-care McNab coat, & the smarts & keen attention common to both breeds. She is a confident, enthusiastic, social girl. She has a "bring it on" attitude & wants to do everything, sometimes all at once, which makes for some hilarious moments. She wants to make sure that she doesn't miss a thing. Meg is rocket fast & already very agile for a pup; she is a capable climber & jumper. Meg seems to want to have some kind of job. Sometimes she chooses to chase, crawl on, and steal toys from the older dogs in her foster home. They are mostly tolerant of her antics, & eventually she will leave them alone, finding a great time doing something else. Meg thinks it's all fun & can't understand why everyone else isn't joining in. She loves tug toys, chew toys, sticks (although we discourage that for her safety), & she loves any & all treats. So, she will work & learn for toys & treats.
ADOPTED – SARGENT
ADOPTED - SARGENT (AKA Sarge) is a 36+ pound, 6-month-old neutered border collie mix, who is as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside. Like his sister Tootsie, he is active & playful, yet is surprisingly easy-going for an adolescent pup. He is endearingly clumsy & goofy sometimes, but don't let this fool you! Sarge is smart as a whip & learns whatever is asked of him quickly. For example, he learned to use the doggy door in his foster home in a fingersnap!
ADOPTED – TOOTSIE
ADOPTED - TOOTSIE is a 25#, 6-month-old spayed border collie mix, who has a lovely, gentle temperament. She has a beautiful sleek coat. Like her brother Sarge, she is active & playful. She particularly likes to play with her brother. She might like a home with another playful dog. She is friendly & social with people, but will offer an alert bark when someone she doesn't know comes to call. She is easy-going, & is a little bit on the soft side. Tootsie likes to please & doesn't like to think she's made her human unhappy.
