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.
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.
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.
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.
LUNA ADOPTION PENDING
Meet lovely LUNA! LUNA is a medium coat red and white Border collie about 18 months old.

She is cautious around new people, especially men, but warms up quickly and becomes a love bug begging for pets and attention.
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.
Meet our sweet young boy Dalton. He is an 11m old BC/Lab mix. He has a smooth coat and weighs 38lbs. Dalton’s favorite thing is the ball or just about any toy. He loves to play! He will chase the ball and even bring it back. He gets along great with other dogs and likes to wrestle and play the chase game. He would do well with another dog with a similar activity level. Dalton also likes to play with the cats in his foster home. He does not try to hurt them, but he will chase them so any home with cats would have to be dog savvy cats who don’t mind a little fun.

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.

She also will sometimes hang out on the sidelines & watch before leaping into action & following along in the play.

STARBRIGHT has the most gorgeous & unusual tri-colored markings. She has confidence in spades, & she’s a bit more independent that some of her littermates. She loved the photographer who visited her foster home to take photos; STARBRIGHT was crawling all over her so much that it was hard to get her photos. When there is a puppy play pile, she is often the puppy on top. Like Loki, she keenly follows people. She loves toys like tug toys & tunnels, & (see the photo) racing the tortoise across the yard.

Loki has beautiful, soft green eyes. Like his littermates, he loves treats, & he is learning to pay attention for which behaviors he can offer that will get him a reward. He, too, likes toys.

SIRIUS is aptly named. He is a typical playful pup, but he also has a focused, serious side. He will sit for a cookie & hold that sit to wait for the next one. He is gentle, but not timid. He likes everyone he meets, but he loves his one special person; he’s like a little shadow. Like his littermates, he likes most toys; well, to tell the truth, he pretty much likes anything that he gets to do with his person.
Let’s say hello to MILO. Milo is a 12-to-18-month old black and white rough- coated border collie. Milo is ready for to find his forever home, one he can call his own.
MILO knows his name. Like many young border collies, he likes to relax with his foster family after getting a moderate-to-significant amount of exercise. A brisk walk, a long hike, time chasing a ball, maybe a short jog, etc. all make Milo happy. Milo LOVES chewing and chomping on appropriate chew toys. Milo is kind-natured and receptive to people and other dogs. When he first came into rescue Milo was shy when he first met new people, promptly rolling over on his back for belly rubs. (He can never get enough belly rubs!!) However, over the time he’s been in his foster home, he has learned to relax and to seek attention from people, often putting his face in someone’s hand very sweetly.
ADOPTION PENDING –
Miss Sugar is a spunky, adventurous gal who was the trailblazer of the group; first out the doggy door, first to make her way down the ramp, thus the first to touch ground in the back yard. And once she hit the ground and found the wide open spaces she loved her new world. She is smart, polite, and well-behaved.
PEPPERMINT PATTY is a playful snuggle bug. She is respectful of her siblings and enjoys playing with them, but really wants to be with her people, especially to cuddle. Couch time is her favorite time of day. She gets along well with other dogs (siblings and adult dogs in the household). Our dog savvy cats are not crazy about her and that tells us an environment without cats would be best.
