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. LOKI likes people. He follows people around like a little shadow. Herding dog? You bet. While Loki is a very active puppy, he also has a calm side, & can switch between the two energy levels easily. 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.

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.

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.

NO MORE APPLICATIONS PLEASE – Adoption Pending Let me introduce to you our sweet ELLA, (aka: ELLA ENCHANTED).  ELLA is a petite, young female border collie 6 – 9 months of age who weighs in at about 35 lbs. She has a medium length tri-colored (Black, White, Tan) coat and a very expressive face with big brown eyes. This darling girl is looking for someone who will love her, give her a home she can call her own, and continue to introduce her to our world. ELLA, in turn, will be a loyal companion who will give love back unconditionally.

ADOPTED – BAILEY is a dainty red and white smooth coat Border collie mix weighing in at just over 30lbs and estimated to be 1.5 years old. She catches your eye with ears that stand straight up, a tail that curls over her back, and 1.5 blue eyes!

BAILEY is an incredibly intelligent girl and truly wants to please. She came to her fosters’ home with excellent manners. She is house trained, doesn’t jump up on people, and knows basic commands including sit, down, and come. Her recall especially is quite impressive. BAILEY is also crate-trained and spends the nights and her time alone in a wire kennel. She could benefit from some leash training as she does tend to pull. 

As her name defines her, “ADELINE” is truly noble and beautiful inside and out. ADELINE is a smooth coat border collie weighing in at 38 pounds and standing about 23” at the shoulder.  She is believed to be about two years old and has been spayed.  Adeline is a beautiful, well-balanced girl with brown inquisitive and curious eyes.  She has a true black and white coat and erect ears.

ADELINE is fun, energetic, and very curious.  She loves to explore the yard on her own, and mostly stays close to her humans when outside. ADDIE is both agile and athletic.  She will run and turn on a dime, then stop and look at you.  If she hears no command, ADELINE will continue to run and play on her own.

Mom SKITTLES (a BC Mix) came to us very big and very pregnant. A few days later, on September 18th, THE SWEETS & TREATS PUPPIES came into this world raring and ready to go. All four boys are adopted. They were Cracker Jack (CJ), Clark (Bar), Nougat, & Heath (Bar). Of the six girls, two remain available: Peppermint Patty & Sugar. ADOPTED were Marshmallow, Snickers, & Tootsie (Roll), Caramel. Clark is the biggest, clearing the rest by 2 plus pounds, and Tootsie is the smallest. All are quite adept at using the doggy door to both go out and come back in. The door leads to a secure patio deck where they go out to play and potty. Their potty training is going very well. During the day, and even overnight, they (mostly) venture out to do their business. The puppies are all eating out of individual bowls in a sectioned off pen. They are getting better at sitting prior to heading over from their living quarters to the food pen. They are a smart, active, polite group…especially considering the size of the litter. They are attentive, friendly, and love to be cradled and given belly rubs! SKITTLES (55 to 60 lbs.) will be spayed late November and be posted for adoption after healing. Now let me introduce her babies:

ADOPTED – Let us introduce Mr. BRODY!  BRODY is a fun-loving 35-pound ball of energy with a beautiful rough coat. BRODY is petite in size and approximately 10 months old so he’s done growing.  He is the perfect size! BRODY is crate trained and easy to live with in the house. He’s cooperative to do what the humans ask.  He loves all toys and laying down to chew a bone during evening hours.  

Adopted – Adoption Pending – Mr. Tibbs (Tibbs) is a 10 month old border collie mix. He can be shy at first with new people and new dogs but warms up quickly. He loves wrestling with his foster brother & sister and would do best in a home with another young and/or playful & energetic dog.
