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 – Little 17 pound SALLY is an adorable Borgi, a border collie/corgi mix.  Sally has the size & short legs of a corgi with the zip & smarts of a border collie.  She loves learning new things & is lightning fast.  Flyball height dog anyone?  When Sally first came into rescue, she was easily overwhelmed & was reluctant to engage in anything with her foster mom.  But Sally is quick to warm up when she gets to know someone.  Within a couple of days in her foster home, she was running wild zoomies in the backyard, retrieving toys & bringing them back every time (she obviously learned this in her previous home), & seeking pets & lap time with her foster mom.  Sally crate-trained in a fingersnap & has never had an accident in her foster home.

ADOPTED – Meet BENJI! He’s about 4-5 years old according to our vets. A beautiful mix of border collie and probably heeler, this sweet boy is looking for his perfect home. BENJI weighs in at just over 40 pounds. He is friendly with everyone he meets. He gets along well with his foster brothers, but tends to get a little jealous when someone else is getting any pets. BENJI would happily settle on being an only dog, but does fine with others too, just don’t be surprised if he tries to wiggle himself in between you and another dog to hog all the love! So, if you have a dog or two that are more sensitive and require more attention, BENJI might not be the dog for you.

ADOPTED – KIT is a delightfully fun 1 ½ to 2-year-old female, light rough coat black tri border collie. She is about 30 lbs., but don’t let her petite size fool you; this girl is a little powerhouse.  Kit was picked up stray with the ball of her left hip broken.  She has had surgery to correct this and has made a full recovery!  Only those who know what they’re looking for, will notice any change in her gait.

KIT is quick to learn and has the energy to put her training to use.  She has been started in nosework, is great at Frisbee and fetch, and has basic obedience skills.  She’s a great tugger and will release on command. 

Lark Adopted – Born January 27th, 2022, the Bird Pups (1 boy, 3 girls, all adorable herding dog mixes) will be ready to go to their new homes starting March 25th.  The Bird Pups were born in a rural shelter where they spent their first three weeks. One of our volunteers, who works at the shelter, rang us up to see if we could help. Sometimes we make the decision to intake dogs just because it’s the right thing to do, even when we aren’t sure exactly how much border collie DNA the dogs have.  The pups’ mama Dove appears to be a herding dog mix, white with light reddish / tan coloring on her ears and along her back. Dove needs to put on some weight but will probably be in the 55 – 60 lb range, and the puppies are currently the size of typical border collie pups this age.

ADOPTED – RUBY is a young lady that has a lot of enthusiasm for life.  You see, RUBY spent her first year of life in a small outdoor pen.  She certainly didn’t get the proper socialization that any dog needs and deserves. Despite her tough past, life is looking much better for Miss RUBY now!  RUBY is approximately fifteen months old and weighs about 45 pounds. A home where she can enjoy a lot of exercise and interaction with people and dogs would be ideal. She also needs her down (crate) time so more quiet and calm surroundings would benefit Ruby greatly. Experience with doggie confidence building will be a plus.
