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.

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.”

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. 

TROOPER is a rough-coated border collie / Australian shepherd cross, weighing in at 55 pounds and standing about 26 inches at the shoulder.  He is about a year old. Trooper is a well-balanced boy with brown inquisitive and curious eyes.  He has a true black and white coat and freckles on his nose.

TROOPER is very energetic and curious.  He loves to explore the yard on his own, and mostly stays within eyesight to his humans when outside. Trooper checks in with you about every two minutes.  Trooper is playful, bouncy, and has a puppy attitude.  He will run and play, then stop and look at you.  If he hears no command, Trooper will continue to run and play on his own.  In his foster home, he is never idle.  Rather, he is always active and investigating his surroundings.  His only down time is when he is relaxing in his extra-large crate.

MAMA CASSIE’S (AKA CASSIOPEIA) Stars & Planets pups were born on 12/02/22, & at 9-weeks-old they are ready, ready, ready to find their forever homes.  Mama Cassie is a 32#, black & white, rough-coated girl with a bobbed tail.  She loves people, & her puppies have inherited her friendliness.

KUMA is a crack-up, full of puppy antics.  She loves toys, especially tug toys, & she’s a good tugger.  When she has a toy on her own, she finds a lair-like spot to hide her toy.  When she goes back to get it, she likes to play keep-away with her littermates.  But she’s happy to bring her toy to her person so they can play together.  She is treat-motivated & she has very nice focus.  She virtually posed for the camera, as if she knew her photo was being taken.  She knows how to work a room.  She isn’t afraid to explore, but she’s good about checking in, if you catch her attention.
