JILL AVAILABLE

/in ,

JILL (aka: Jilly Bean)
We’ve all heard the saying, “you can’t buy happiness but you can adopt it.” Well, if you want to be greeted when you come home by a wet nose & a happy tail, take a look at our foster dog JILL. She’s an adorable black & white (with a touch of tan on her legs) border collie. JILL is a one year old female weighing about 35 lbs & she’s looking for someone to love her (besides her foster Mom, that is). This precious girl is about as sweet as they come. Once you meet her you can’t help falling in love with her.

ADOPTED – MAX

/in ,

Meet MAX, nicknamed “The Boss” by his foster family. MAX is a male black and white rough coat border collie that is approximately 12 weeks of age and 19 lbs. He is a take charge little guy, who is absolutely fearless. When MAX came to his foster family, he immediately exhibited no hesitation whatsoever in meeting and playing with his much larger foster siblings. 

MAX is a smart, typical border collie who picks up on things super-fast and seems to have a keen sense for herding. He will require an experienced border collie household that will find him jobs that are both mentally stimulating and physically challenging; for example, herding, canine nose work/scent work, or agility. Mentally and physically challenging activities, along with exercise, will help burn off excess energy and will help Max be the best version of himself.  After training activities and hard play, MAX calms nicely and is a very lovable cuddle bug.

ADOPTED – BANDIT

/in ,

Meet BANDIT, the charming and affectionate 2-year-old Tri Colored Border Collie mix who will steal your heart in no time. With his mostly white and black coat, and some brown on his hind legs, Bandit weighs about 45 pounds and is looking for a loving family that wants a loyal companion.

Bandit is a cuddle bug that will happily snuggle with you, hug you, and follow you wherever you go. He is great with other dogs and loves to play. Food and love are his two favorite things, and he is highly motivated by both. He is a very talented shredder so if you are looking at dog toys make sure to buy tough ones and monitor his play; he can find the squeaker in a plush toy in under 5 minutes.
When it comes to grooming and handling, Bandit is a dream. He is good about being brushed and groomed and has no issues with being picked up or having his feet and tail touched. He is a gentle boy who just wants to be loved and be part of a family.

OWEN AVAILABLE

/in ,

OWEN, the smallest of the group from day one, has almost caught up to his sister Nora. He weighs in at 13 pounds, but he’s never let his size hold him back. This smallish smooth coat doesn’t let any of the other pups boss him around. OWEN loves people, gets along great with the other puppies and adult dogs, but will need a cat-free environment. He is too interested and overexcited when he sees felines.

Arriving to our rescue on March 17th, the St. Paddy’s Day puppies range from 13 to 17 lbs.  With their bat ears, slim bodies, and cat-like feet we believe them to be McNab / border collie mixes. These puppies are coming PARTIALLY SPONSORED. Their adoption fees will be $125 (plus the $75 spay / neuter deposit (that’s a $300 sponsored reduction). The six puppies were split into two foster homes, with Patrick, Quinn, and Kelly in one home while Owen, Nora, and Erin are in another.

KELLY AVAILABLE

/in ,

KELLY, 15 pounds and a smooth coat, is the most reserved of the group.  He is like the middle child, not as intense as his sister Quinn and not as serious as his brother Patrick.  Kelly is very athletic, but will settle in quickly for quiet time and belly rubs when away from his siblings.  Kelly is progressing nicely with crate and sit. KELLY loves people, gets along great with other puppies and adult dogs, but will need a cat-free environment. He is too interested and overexcited when he sees felines.

PATRICK AVAILABLE

/in ,

PATRICK is a 17 pound smooth coat and is like the older brother of the group. He is their leader. Patrick has been the first to learn new things like crate and sit.  He has not mastered them yet, but he is doing very well.  Patrick was the first to transition over to the big dog room and is learning boundaries from the older pack members. He is being very respectful towards them. PATRICK loves people, gets along great with other puppies and adult dogs, but will need a cat-free environment. He is too interested and overexcited when he sees felines.

ADOPTED – ERIN

/in ,

ERIN, a classically-marked 14 pound smooth coat, is in between in size, & is most focused on her foster mom. ERIN follows her everywhere & after a long play session seeks cuddle time.  She loves joining the fun with the other puppies; she simply loves her foster mom best.  Erin is serious and very focused in her play.  And like some of her other siblings Erin enjoys tugging with the other pups as well as with her foster mom. ERIN loves people, gets along great with other puppies and adult dogs, but will need a cat-free environment. She is too interested and overexcited when she sees felines.

NORA AVAILABLE

/in ,

NORA is our blue-eyed, smoot-coated beauty. At 14 pounds, she exudes confidence. This girl is also curious, adventurous, & is as happy to play on her own as she is to be involved in everyone else’s play.  She is always the first one to go on adventures, but when called, she turns on a dime & runs back to her foster mom, well, most of the time. Nora 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 to get rewarded.  Her favorite games are tug & tug & tug & then go chase one of her siblings. Even though Nora is adventurous, she is also tuned in to her foster mom. NORA loves people, gets along great with other puppies and adult dogs, but will need a cat-free environment. She is too interested and overexcited when she sees felines.

ADOPTED – QUINN

/in ,

QUINN has that WOW look. Her one blue eye, one blue / brown eye, shiny smooth coat, and athletic build get the WOW reaction every time. QUINN is a solid 15 pound, athletic young lady. Bouncy, Bouncy, Bouncy, Fun, Fun, Fun. Maybe we should have named her Tigger. This happy little girl is an object in motion that stays in motion until nap time or bed time. Quinn loves to leap, climb, and explore. When she sits, her little tail and butt are going a mile a minute. QUINN loves people, gets along great with other puppies and adult dogs, but will need a cat-free environment. She is too interested and overexcited when she sees felines.

ADOPTED – MARSHA

/in ,

MARSHA is a soft and cuddly black and white short to medium coat border collie mix. At 9 weeks and 9 pounds, Marsha wants mostly to be with her people. She is the most reserved of the bunch, choosing to let her sisters go first when checking out something new, but then joining full force once she is confident it looks fun. She enjoys the company of her sisters, but when they are free she seeks out her human companions. Marsha loves to be held and cuddled.

ADOPTED – JAN

/in ,

JAN is a soft and cuddly black and white puff ball rough coat border collie mix who loves pets and belly rubs. At 9 weeks and 9 pounds, this beauty is the quietest of the group, but don’t let that calm demeanor fool you. She knows what’s going on at all times. She will assert herself when the notion strikes to keep her sisters in line. Her favorite place: whichever lap or shoulder will have her. Scoop her up and JAN will give you kisses and snuggle up.

ADOPTED – CINDY

/in ,

CINDY is a happy-go-lucky black and white smooth coat border collie mix. At 9 weeks and 9 pounds, this little cutie is especially agile and athletic. Scoop her up and CINDY will give you kisses and snuggle up, but she won’t stay there long. She wants to go, go, go.  We believe CINDY will be a very active pup who will need both physical and mental stimulation like agility or nosework to be the best family member she can be.

ADOPTED – MILLIE

/in ,

MILLIE is a roughly 30lb, two year old ball of joy! She is speckled red and white with a curly tail and one eye that makes her even more special. All MILLIE wants in life is to be near her person. She thinks she’s a lap dog and enjoys climbing up onto the couch quite literally one paw at a time. When she can’t be in your lap or on the couch, she settles nicely for the floor. MILLIE does tend to jump on people out of excitement, but is responding well to “no.”

ADOPTED – LOGAN

/in ,

Logan is very curious.  He loves to explore the yard on his own, however mostly stays within eyesight to his humans when outside.  Logan is bouncy and has a playful attitude.

SKITTLES AVAILABLE

/in ,

SKITTLES was a great mom to her 10, yes 10, awesome Sweets and Treats puppies, and now she is ready for her forever home. Once her babies were adopted SKIT really began to shine. She has come a long way from the pancaking, pregnant, and shy gal to the protective, correcting mom, to a friendly, outgoing gal we foster parents love. She gets along well with people and other dogs. She’s been fine around the cats, but with her husky bloodlines we’d still caution against a home with cats. SKITTLES is about 2 years of age, 52 lbs., with a thick medium coat.

ADOPTED – CASSIE

/in ,

Now that Mama CASSIE’s babies are off to their forever home, it’s her turn to shine!  Miss CASSIE is an approximately 11-month-old, 40# rough coat border collie with a docked tail.  She is a perfect size and she is beautiful!  Her soulful eyes have so much to say as she looks to you for guidance and encouragement.  

ADOPTED – CONNOR

/in ,

If you’re looking for a dog that is not only a sweet cuddlebug, but also lovable in every way & very, very friendly with adults & children, then take a look at our handsome boy, CONNOR. He weighs in at a lean 45 lbs. and is very healthy at his current weight. He has a medium length rough coat with classic black & white color & a bit of tan around his soulful eyes. CONNOR is approximately 1-2 yrs. old but he is still very much a puppy. He may be full-sized, but he’s a happy-go-lucky, silly goofball!  Of course, as with any rambunctious youngster, good, consistent training will help him to become the best boy he can be.

ADOPTED – RANGER

/in ,

RANGER is a 40lb, smooth coat, brindle (almost a blue quality) and white border collie. He is estimated to be one year old and catches your eye with his unique color, split face, and upright ears. RANGER is a shy guy at first, but truly loves people and coaxes attention once he settles in. He frequently walks up out of the blue, puts his face on your lap and looks at you with brown eyes you can’t resist. He is loyal to his people and will follow them anywhere.

ADOPTED – ODIE

/in ,

ODIE is a tender-hearted, mild-mannered boy. Very sweet and affectionate, approximately 4-year-old, 40 pound Odie wants to be with his people. He takes a few minutes to warm up to people he doesn’t know, but he does warm up.  He loves to go on hikes along hills and adventures to the lake with the dog pals he’s made in his foster home. He prefers an open, peaceful setting, one where he can walk and explore, take quiet nature hikes, and sniff all the wonderful smells along his path without the disruptions of lots of cars, unfamiliar people, dogs he doesn’t know, and loud city noises.  ODIE would prefer a quiet rural setting to a busy, noisy urban / suburban setting. 

ADOPTED – LUNA

/in ,

LUNA ADOPTION PENDING

Meet lovely LUNA! LUNA is a medium coat red and white Border collie about 18 months old. Luna has medium to low drive but her BC genes might become more pronounced with time as she’s had some adjusting to do. She is cautious around new people, especially men, but warms up quickly and becomes a love bug begging for pets and attention.
