ADOPTED – BLUEBELL

January 27, 2025

Meet sweet little BLUEBELL. She is a 12-week-old, tri-colored, female border collie with a beautiful soft rough coat, who weighs in at about 10 lbs. Bluebell is a curious and friendly girl. She loves her foster dog friends, big and small. She is also good with the resident cat. Her favorite thing is to wrestle and play with the smaller foster dog in her foster home. She will come when called with sweet kissy voices. She is a smart girl who learns quickly and takes treats softly. Bluebell greets new people well. She may be a little shy at first, but is happy to come over and say hello after a few minutes.

ADOPTED – JANET

January 26, 2025

JANET is a seven-month-old, smooth-coated border collie cross, who weighs in at 38 pounds and stands about 24” at the shoulder. She is a well-balanced girl with inquisitive and curious brown eyes. She has a true black and white coat and freckles on her legs. JANET is goofy, fun, energetic, and very curious. She loves to explore the yard on her own, and mostly stays close to her humans when outside. Both agile and athletic, she will run and turn on a dime, then stop, crouch, and look at you. If she hears no command or gets no response, she will continue to run and play on her own.

ADOPTED – ZIP

January 21, 2025

LITTLE ZIP is a playful, joyful sprite of a girl. A year old and weighing 29 pounds, Zip likes people, greeting them happily, playing with them, and snuggling in an available lap, whenever she has the chance. (See the photo with her foster dad. She thinks he’s pretty special.) She also likes other dogs, large and small. When a little dog came to visit, Zippy let the little dog roll her over on her back, and she adjusted her play style to fit the style of the little dog.

ADOPTED – TATE

January 18, 2025

Meet TATE, TATE the Great! This darling boy is 11-months-old and 30lbs, although he still has room to grow. He is a classic border collie in every way. He has a black and white rough coat, four white paws, and the smallest speck of white on his tail. TATE is smart, energetic, and so very loyal. His fosters haven’t met a person that doesn’t love TATE ,and TATE hasn’t met a person that he doesn’t love! He greets everybody at the door with bounds of energy and thinks they have surely shown up to simply play with him. Shortly after taking a seat, it is likely that TATE will climb into your lap one paw at a time. And if he isn’t feeling shy, he will jump into your lap. He loves to be petted and told what a good boy he is!

ADOPTED – MAGPIE

January 7, 2025

We are excited to announce our sweet mama MAGPIE is available for adoption. You may have seen her beautiful Halloween pups adopted out last year. She is a 52 pound, 3-year-old border collie mix. She has a silky, smooth coat and black and white coloring. Magpie is long and lean with a white-tipped tail. MAGPIE has a sweet and friendly disposition. She loves people and other dogs and wants to play and be part of the pack. She will do well with another young dog who also like to wrestle and chase, or an older dog that loves to play and run. Magpie is praise- motivated and is very smart. She sits nicely for a cookie and has been working on her manners. She would benefit from further obedience training to be the best dog she can be.
