MATEO AVAILABLE
MATEO is a 1 year old, 46 pound red, white, and tan rough coat Border collie. His coat is long and soft and his golden eyes are striking. He is a very happy and active boy looking for a family to match his energy and capacity for love.
MATEO loves people and food (the order is up for debate) more than anything else. While he gets along with, and loves running and playing with his foster mates, he mostly wants to be with his people. When out with the other dogs, and his foster dad shows up, Mateo immediately runs to him for acknowledgement, pets, and approval. Fast and athletic, he may be a candidate for agility or some other fun activity to exercise mind and body. He was very popular at the Vet’s office when in for his vaccinations. The staff could not get enough of him.

ADOPTION PENDING
SHELBY AVAILABLE
Meet our SHELBY, a very special girl who has come a long way from her beginnings in rescue. She is ready to find her special person(s) who will provide the home and love she dreams of and certainly deserves, a home at which she can thrive and blossom. SHELBY is coming up on her 3rd birthday (May). She has a medium length silky red and white coat and weighs about 55 lbs. Her golden eyes seem to look into your very soul searching for love.
SHELBY is looking for her person, or perhaps a couple, who has experience with dogs who are a bit reserved around new people. She is a bit slow to warm up, but once that light goes on she will lick your hands as if to say, “Oh, you’re not so bad.” When meeting new people SHELBY must be allowed to warm up to them at her own pace. Some light encouragement doesn’t hurt; take proper steps and it does not take her long to get curious and stay close-by.
ADOPTED – DAPHNE
DAPHNE is a one year old female border collie and Australian shepherd cross with a beautiful blue merle coat. She weighs at just 35 lbs. Daphne has one brown eye and one blue eye, which melts your heart when she gazes into your eyes. She’s the sister of recently adopted Chloe and shares many of the same wonderful traits—friendly, affectionate, and eager to please.
ADOPTED – NASH
**Adoption Pending**
Nash is a two-year-old male black and white rough-coat Border Collie, weighing 35 pounds.
He’s a happy-go-lucky Border Collie with a relaxed temperament—not your typical high-energy herding dog. Nash is a true unicorn—just as happy to lounge around as he is to play!
DOGS & CATS
Nash loves all dogs—big, small, playful, or reserved. He has been introduced to many dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments and gets along beautifully with all of them. He’s naturally submissive and avoids conflict, making him a fantastic companion for multi-dog households. His favorite games include chase and bitey-face, but he also enjoys just hanging out with his dog friends. Plus, he’s a pro snuggler when it comes to other dogs!
Bonus: Nash is also cat-friendly! He has shown a calm and appropriate demeanor around cats, making him a great candidate for a home with feline family members.
ADOPTED – FREDDIE
Hello! I am FREDDIE, Freddie Spaghetti, or just Fred. The vet thinks that I am approximately 6-9 months old. I weigh about 30 lbs and I won’t grow much more. I am as good natured as they come. I haven’t met a person or dog I haven’t liked. I love to play with toys, especially ones that are soft and squeaky, and I do like to pounce on a ball. I have not yet mastered the art of bringing the ball back, but my foster family is working on that with me. I do need to be supervised with toys because I will chew parts off and try to eat them.
I LOVE to cuddle and follow my foster parents around and I LOVE to take naps and play with my toys on the couch. I sleep very well in my crate at night, though I do like to whine a bit at first and then again in the morning when I am ready to get out. I settle down in my crate while my foster parents are away, but I still could use some additional work on crate training, and I prefer to have a pupsicle to help me calm down when I am put in there. My foster mom bought me a dog play pen that sets up easily inside the house and I really enjoy being in there. She says it is security for me, and peace of mind for her and I like that I can see everything that is going on around me!
ADOPTED – CHLOE
✨ Meet the Beautiful Miss Chloe! ✨
Chloe is a stunning one-year-old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, weighing approximately 39 pounds and ready to embark on her next big adventure!
Chloe’s story began on a rough note — she and her sister were found abandoned on a rural road, skinny and unsure of the world. It was clear they had never experienced the warmth of a loving home or the comfort of kind human and dog relationships.
ADOPTED – FORREST
**ADOPTION PENDING**
FORREST is a delightful but shy Border collie mix with a soft, curly, medium length black and white coat. His front feet have short white socks while his back feet are both tipped in white. He is approximately 10 months of age and 33 pounds.
FORREST loves mealtime and appreciates treats for being a good boy! He also loves toys of all kinds; bones, ropes, stuffed animals, squeakers, etc. You’ll want to keep plenty around as he has been known to steal a shoe or two (no damage, just a collector). If FORREST isn’t entertaining himself with a toy he can likely be found taking a snooze on the couch.
ADOPTED – DARLA
DARLA is an 8-month-old, 28lb, black and white Border Collie mix. She has a low maintenance smooth coat and ears that don’t miss a beat. DARLA is, as you can imagine, quite darling and loves showing off for the camera!
ADOPTED – URZA
URZA is a smart, active, happy, baby girl. She is approximately 10 weeks and 10 pounds of energy. Her coat is a very soft black and white (almost looks like some brown is coming in around her cheeks) and we believe she will have a short or possibly medium coat. She loves people, toys, other dogs, and even cats. She longs to play with any person, canine, or feline that is up for fun times. She can be a little overzealous in her play, but she’ll learn boundaries as she grows and develops.
ADOPTED – PAUL
PAUL is a delightful 3 year old Border collie mix. He is a rough coat that weighs in at about 50 pounds. His long coat will require regular maintenance. Paul loves people. He has been put on this earth to be petted, loved, and adored. He took right to his foster family, wanting love and affection from day one. He has not met a stranger (makes immediate friends) he hasn’t loved, and they love him right back. Both the shelter and vet staffs adore him, reinforcing with “Paul is charming,” something we already knew.
As much as PAUL loves couch and cuddle time, it is very important for him to have a balance between activity and down time. Paul experienced injuries to his back legs (it is quite obvious observing his gait).When he first got to his foster home, he exhibited some stiffness and slowness. We got him out moving around and, in short order, he became more limber, enjoyed the activity, and began running with the other dogs while showing much greater mobility. We have consulted with an orthopedic specialist to find out more about the injuries. They suspect this happened a year or more ago, and while healed, the legs did not set properly. Paul will not be a hiking partner, but short, frequent walks, as well as backyard activity, will be very important for Paul in order to maintain muscle tone. He will also need to be kept at a lean body weight to achieve less stress on the joints. The Dr. suggests he lose another 2 – 3 pounds. Supplements and treatments will be discussed in more detail with applicants. Surgery is not a realistic option due to recovery time with little to no value-add for Paul. He should be able to live a very normal and happy life.
ADOPTED – BLUEBELL
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
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
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
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
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.
ADOPTED CARRIE
This is Carrie. She is one of the “Halloween Puppies”. Carrie is an adorable tri color / fawn, black, and white smooth coat Border collie cross. Born on September 17th, she is now twelve weeks old, and is eagerly ready to find her forever home. Carrie is a wonderful, well-balanced little girl with dark, inquisitive eyes. She is always listening and thinking as she looks at you.
ADOPTED TUCKER
Meet TUCKER, an approximately one-year-old, 40-pound rough-coated Border collie with a heart as big as his boundless energy! This happy-go-lucky boy is all about love and snuggles, and he’ll charm his way into your heart in no time. Tucker adores his humans—he hasn’t met a person he doesn’t like. In fact, he’ll always choose to be by your side over spending time with his canine buddies.
