✨ Meet the Beautiful Miss Chloe! ✨ Chloe is a stunning one-year-old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, weighing approximately 39 pounds and ready to embark on her next big adventure! Chloe’s story began on a rough note — she and her sister were found abandoned on a rural road, skinny and unsure of the world. It was clear they had never experienced the warmth of a loving home or the comfort of kind human and dog relationships.

PAUL is a delightful 3 year old Border collie mix. He is a rough coat that weighs in at about 50 pounds. His long coat will require regular maintenance. Paul loves people. He has been put on this earth to be petted, loved, and adored. He took right to his foster family, wanting love and affection from day one. He has not met a stranger (makes immediate friends) he hasn’t loved, and they love him right back. Both the shelter and vet staffs adore him, reinforcing with “Paul is charming,” something we already knew. As much as PAUL loves couch and cuddle time, it is very important for him to have a balance between activity and down time. Paul experienced injuries to his back legs (it is quite obvious observing his gait).When he first got to his foster home, he exhibited some stiffness and slowness. We got him out moving around and, in short order, he became more limber, enjoyed the activity, and began running with the other dogs while showing much greater mobility. We have consulted with an orthopedic specialist to find out more about the injuries. They suspect this happened a year or more ago, and while healed, the legs did not set properly. Paul will not be a hiking partner, but short, frequent walks, as well as backyard activity, will be very important for Paul in order to maintain muscle tone. He will also need to be kept at a lean body weight to achieve less stress on the joints. The Dr. suggests he lose another 2 – 3 pounds. Supplements and treatments will be discussed in more detail with applicants. Surgery is not a realistic option due to recovery time with little to no value-add for Paul. He should be able to live a very normal and happy life.

JANET is a seven-month-old, smooth-coated border collie cross, who weighs in at 38 pounds and stands about 24” at the shoulder.  She is a well-balanced girl with inquisitive and curious brown eyes.  She has a true black and white coat and freckles on her legs. JANET is goofy, fun, energetic, and very curious.  She loves to explore the yard on her own, and mostly stays close to her humans when outside. Both agile and athletic, she will run and turn on a dime, then stop, crouch, and look at you.  If she hears no command or gets no response, she will continue to run and play on her own. 

Meet TUCKER, an approximately one-year-old, 40-pound rough-coated Border collie with a heart as big as his boundless energy! This happy-go-lucky boy is all about love and snuggles, and he’ll charm his way into your heart in no time. Tucker adores his humans—he hasn’t met a person he doesn’t like. In fact, he’ll always choose to be by your side over spending time with his canine buddies.

MARGIE is a quiet, mature soul at only 2-years-old. She connects quickly to people, and her human is her emotional anchor. This 44-pound cuddlebug loves to be next to you, crawling in your lap, and flipping upside down for the occasional belly rub. Get up though and she is right with you, following along to see what you are up to. She is a lower energy border collie, content to curl up in her bed nearby while her foster mom works.
