ADOPTED – ROWAN

February 5, 2024/in 2024, Alumni

As her name defines her, “ROWAN” is a “Little Redhead.” a red and white rough-coated border collie weighing a mere 28 pounds and standing about 19” at the shoulder. She is believed to be about one year old. Rowan is a wonderful, well-balanced little girl with brown inquisitive and curious eyes. She listens and thinks as she looks into you. Rowan is also fun, energetic, and very curious. She loves to explore the yard on her own, and mostly stays close to her humans when outside. Rowan is both agile and athletic. She will run and turn on a dime, then stop and look at you, as if to check in.

ADOPTED – MOLLY MAGUIRE

January 17, 2024/in 2024, Alumni

Meet MISS MOLLY MAGUIRE, a 1.5 – 2 year old, 48 pound border collie girlie with an easy care, medium rough coat, cute spots on her nose, and an always sweet smile for her person. In fact, MOLLY’S favorite thing in life is her person!  She will follow you around the house and settle a few feet away or at your feet if you’ll let her.  At first MOLLY can be shy with people she doesn’t know, so she needs patient introductions to new people. That said, it doesn’t take MOLLY long to relax, and nothing can dampen her enthusiasm once she gets to know you. She is quick to settle in and adopt her person or persons. She is funny and goofy, and her personality will make you smile & laugh every day.

ADOPTED – DODGER

December 21, 2023/in 2024, Alumni

ADOPTED – Allow me the pleasure of introducing you to a very special member of the NCBCRA family, DODGER. Dodger is approximately two years old and weighs 45 pounds. When Dodger came into the program, it appeared he had never lived inside a home and had no human interaction, and now it has all become 2nd nature to him.

DODGER loves human interaction. He quickly approaches new humans. He will give you the biggest grin, position himself adorably on your side, and look deeply into your eyes, asking for love and attention. Once he knows you, Dodger is affectionate and loving. I have to admit it’s the cutest thing!

ADOPTED – ANNIE

November 30, 2023/in 2024, Alumni

We are happy to introduce our sweet little orphan ANNIE! She is a 28 pound, 1 year old BC mix. She has an easy-care smooth coat and very pretty sable coloring. She’s a nice small size, long and lean with an adorable curly tail. She still has a few pounds to put on, but she is already full grown.

ANNIE loves playing with her foster brother! She wants to play and be part of the pack. She will do well with another young dog who also likes to wrestle and chase, or an older dog that loves to play. She likes to chase cats and would do best in a home without cats. She can be choosey in her taste for treats, but she has learned to sit for a cookie after a bit of practice. Annie is praise-motivated and is very smart, but she will need someone who is patient when training her as she is just learning to learn. Annie is very athletic, often leaping over her foster brother to come inside. She will make a great hiking/running/adventure partner too!

ADOPTED – WILEY

November 28, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

Say hello to WILEY, the nicest dog you will ever meet. He is a 2 year old, 50 pound BC with smooth coat and eyes that say, love me! WILEY’S favorite things are to be with his person, go for walks and go for car rides. He loves going for car rides and will happily load up. He rides quietly, and is very well behaved.

WILEY gets along well with all dogs and is a little cat curious, but does not chase the cats in his foster home. WILEY is a medium energy boy who needs daily walks, but is happy to chill on the couch with you. He also loves to hang out in the yard and soak up the sun. He has shown a little bit of interest in toys, and loves to chew on his favorite chew toy or bone.

ADOPTED COSMO

November 8, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

COSMO is a gorgeous—inside & out—3-year-old boy, who is also on the smaller side for a BC male (36#). His red & white coat is soft, & he loves to be stroked & petted, sometimes emitting a soft, keening howl of pleasure. Even though Cosmo’s coat is long, it’s tangle-free & easy to care for. While Cosmo is not a barker per se, he does occasionally “talk” or even “sing” a bit—when you talk or sing with him, but especially when his dear friend border collie Molly gets going. If you ask him to stop, he does so immediately.

ADOPTED JESS

October 22, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

JESS is just shy of one year old and weighs 50 pounds. He is a tricolor with a smooth coat, has those perky Border collie ears we all love and unique facial markings that with enough imagination make it look like he is wearing a mask!

SKITTLES AVAILABLE

October 21, 2023/in Featured, Our Dogs

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 1/2years of age, 52 lbs., with a thick medium coat.

ADOPTED – GIDGET

September 29, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

They don’t come any cuter than our sweet little GIDGET! She is about 1 year of age and very much energetic and puppy-like. Weighing about 20 pounds, GIDGET is a rather petite border collie mix and just right at her current weight. Her beautiful golden eyes are always alert, and she is ready for anything you can dish out to her.

ADOPTED COCO

September 25, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

Meet our sweet little COCO! She is a 32lb, 1yr old BC mix. She has an easy care smooth coat and darling little spots on her nose and feet. She is such a great size. She may put on a few pounds and fill out some, but she will always be on the smaller side. 

COCO loves other dogs! She just wants to play, play, play. She would do well with another young dog who also likes to wrestle and chase. Older dogs may be annoyed by her exuberance and desire to play. She will chase the cats in her foster home, so she needs a cat free environment. She is very food and praise motivated and is a fast learner. She is going to be a joy to train. She is very athletic, loves the water and would do well in any kind of dog sport. She would make a great hiking/running/adventure partner as well. 

ADOPTED AVALON

September 24, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

AVALON (Male) was the smallest of the pups but is now catching up to his siblings, weighing in at 18 pounds. He has a soft short coat which is mostly black with some brownish-red highlighting and ticking around his nose and on his chest. Avalon (Av, Avy), enjoys snuggling, LOVES his lap time, gets along well with all his doggy friends, and seems to be ok with cats.

ADOPTED – PISMO

September 24, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

PISMO (Male) is 19 pounds and oh so sweet. This beautiful boy is a black and white smooth coat with ticking. He loves a good play session with his siblings but also loves a quiet cuddle. A fast learner, Pismo will love to learn new things that will make him think as well as play & exercise. He might enjoy dog sports like agility, or canine scent work (aka nosework). PISMO will want to be with you, doing things together that you will both enjoy. He can also entertain himself with toys during down time. PISMO is willing to do whatever is asked of him and then snuggle with you afterward.

ADOPTED – MAISEY

September 17, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

MAISEY is a darling 9-month-old, 40lb (and gaining) Border collie mix. She is sure to catch your eye with her tri-colors and her spotted nose! She has a low-maintenance smooth coat and the best floppy ears.

MAISEY is a shy but friendly girl. She very happily greets anybody that walks in the door. MAISEY adores her foster siblings and would do best in a home with other dogs to help her continue to learn how to be a dog. She tries and wants to play, but just has not quite figured out what she is supposed to do.

ADOPTED UNA

August 31, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

UNA is 12 weeks and 15 pounds with a soft black coat, classic white markings, and the most astonishing ears!   Occasionally NASA calls on her to listen into deep space for them.  Her coat will probably be short (not smooth) to medium in length. And her personality?  “Play” is Una’s middle name. She loves to play fetch with whatever toy or ball is thrown. She also loves to play tug with her foster mom and dad, or with any or all of the big dogs in the house. Her adult dog buddies Perkins and Skittles accommodate her whenever they are together. Una has recently graduated into the big dog room, where the big dogs, in turn, join her for socialization and play. 

ADOPTED – PATRICK

August 30, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

PATRICK is a WONDERFUL dog with a lot of potential!  He’s approximately seven months old, weighs 48 pounds, and has a short, smooth, black coat with white markings.

PATRICK is a playful, energetic, loving adolescent pup. He has had a ton of dog social experiences and exposure. He loves his doggy friends. One of his favorite things is to romp and play in the yard with a doggy pal. He enjoys playing chase, bitey face, and WrestleMania. He will adjust his playstyle at the suggestion of his doggy friend.  PATRICK also loves all humans.  He is willing to approach humans, give them a little kiss, and then he’s off to play again. He loves balls, chews, and squeaky toys. There are never enough toys for PATRICK to choose from. He typically finds a toy and will self-entertain. As much as Patrick loves toys, he can also settle nicely in the house. 

ADOPTED – MIYA

August 3, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

Our little cuddlebug, MIYA, is a mere 25 lbs, 1 year old, with a smooth, gorgeous tri-color coat. She loves to snuggle on the couch or in bed (if allowed she would LOVE that). She will be fine in a crate overnight as well. Miya gets along well with the other dogs in the house. She really loves the company of other young dogs to play with. They provide her much needed comfort and outlet for her energy. This girl loves to play and wrestle!

ADOPTED – OWEN

July 19, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

OWEN is 6 months of age and slight of build at 28 pounds. His smooth coat and bat ears point to his being a McNab / border collie mix. His shiny coat is dark brown with white markings on his chest. OWEN gets along well with dogs young and old, but leans towards and prefers his people. When let out of his crate, he wants pets before going outside. When outside he will be at the center of all activity, yet will seek out his humans for affirmation, pets, and love. He is all about climbing up on the bench with his foster dad, as long as Jet or Skittles hasn’t beaten him to it. 

ADOPTED – JET

July 17, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

JET craves love and affection. At 3 years and 41 pounds, this beautifully marked rough coat (medium length) red and white border collie is all about his people. His golden eyes will make your heart melt. From minute one of their first meeting, JET leaned into his foster dad for pets and lovin’. He really wants to be close to his people…like if he could get inside your shirt close that would be just fine with JET.

ADOPTED – GiGi

July 17, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

Meet GiGi!   Gigi is a beautiful red and while rough-coated border collie mix.  She is an approximately 2-year-old, 38-pound spayed female.    She has beautiful brown eyes, soft ears, and a gorgeous, feathered tail.    She is very friendly and wants to engage with everyone she meets, even at the vet’s office.  

GiGi is a typical, young herding dog in that she needs lots of exercise, activity, and stimulation.  Without it, she gets bored and looks for things to do.  GiGi loves to be out and about, enjoying walks in the neighborhood and going to the dog park.  She generally plays very well with the other dogs and does not show any signs of aggression.  That said, she does try to herd some of the other dogs and can play a little rough at times.  And she sometimes thinks it’s fun to steal other dogs’ balls or to play when another dog doesn’t really don’t want to play.  However, she responds well to direction from others and to being told “that’s enough.”  GiGi loves walks!  She is great on a leash; she does not pull and will generally sit when asked to sit.  She is learning to bring the leash to the door for her walks.  She gets very excited when “leash” is mentioned.  On her walks, she is not bothered by cars or trucks, but she is not fond of the roaring sounds of motorcycles. 

ADOPTED – LILY LANGTRY

July 17, 2023/in 2023, Alumni

Say hello to LILY LANGTRY, a 1-year-old, 27-pound beauty, who loves nothing more than courting love and attention from everyone she meets (including the staff at the vet’s office)!  Lily is what we like to call a “Velcro border collie,” leaning into whoever is closest to her and looking up at them adoringly.  She is also a spirited, fun-loving girl, who runs rocket fast, plays, and leaps for the sheer joy of it.
