ADOPTED – FREDDY is classically marked smooth coat black and white Border collie. He is 5 months of age, 28 lbs and full of spunk. FREDDY is a very active Border collie mouthy youngster who is still learning. And learn he will. He is very smart, knows sit, is doing ok with “crate’ (but he’d much rather be out and about), and has learned to be quiet and still before being fed. In fact that is about the only time he’s still. He does bark some, but mostly when egged on by the other dogs. He is very treat and praise motivated so training should be a blast. An adopter experienced with the personalities of Border collies / herding dogs would be a huge benefit.

LAYLA Meet LAYLA! A sweet and cuddly 5-month-old puppy, LAYLA is 25 pounds with a semi-smooth beautifully marked coat. She is highly socialized and loves being with her humans, playing with toys, receiving hugs and kisses, cuddling on the couch and receiving belly rubs. We think LAYLA will stay on the petite side as an adult.

ADOPTED – Say hello to our sweet little CINDY LOU. CINDY is a 25lb, 4m old BC mix female. She has a super soft smooth coat and a cute little white tip tail. CINDY loves her people and will follow her foster mom around the house, then settle at her feet or in her lap. She is a very cuddly, sweet girl! CINDY also loves other dogs and is very playful. She chases the cats in her foster home, but does not try to hurt them. She would do best in a home without cats, or with cats that are very dog savvy. 

ADOPTED – Let me introduce you to goofy, handsome man MICKEY. MICKEY appears to be a Tri-color Corgi/Border Collie mix with a thick, rough coat and a big smile on his face! Weighing in at about 55 pounds, MICKEY is an approximately one-year-old male that is what we humans affectionately call a “velcro dog”. He will follow his humans around as they do chores or other human things but he will wait patiently until it’s his playtime. Although he loves to be with his humans, he can also be left alone without stress (we leave him crated). What a great balance!

ADOPTED – Meet our sweet and sassy little Daisy (aka Daisy Duke!) She is a 5m old Border Collie/Cattle Dog mix who is about 30lbs. She is a red and white smooth coat with adorable spots on her feet and legs. Daisy is a medium to high energy girl who will need daily exercise and mental stimulation. After playtime, she settles down nicely in the house and has very good house manners for a young girl. She does like to chew on toys and treats, but has not chewed anything inappropriate.

Lark Adopted - Born January 27th, 2022, the Bird Pups (1 boy, 3 girls, all adorable herding dog mixes) will be ready to go to their new homes starting March 25th.  The Bird Pups were born in a rural shelter where they spent their first three weeks. One of our volunteers, who works at the shelter, rang us up to see if we could help. Sometimes we make the decision to intake dogs just because it’s the right thing to do, even when we aren’t sure exactly how much border collie DNA the dogs have.  The pups’ mama Dove appears to be a herding dog mix, white with light reddish / tan coloring on her ears and along her back. Dove needs to put on some weight but will probably be in the 55 – 60 lb range, and the puppies are currently the size of typical border collie pups this age.

Adopted - Named BETTY White because she came to us on Betty White's birthday, our BETTY WHITE is a 4-year-old, 45 pound beauty.  And like Betty White of stage & screen & animal welfare fame, our BETTY WHITE is young at heart, playful & silly like a puppy, always entertaining with her antics.  Betty is simply delightful!  She always has a smile on her face, even when she first came into rescue & had little reason to smile.  Betty had been hit by a car & a good samaritan followed her into a field after her accident &  got her to help.  Shelter staff took her immediately to an emergency vet, where it was discovered that Betty suffered some broken ribs.  And anyone who has ever had one broken rib knows how painful that can be!  Betty needed a place to rest & relax for weeks while her ribs healed, & that's where we came in.  Betty has been a stellar patient; we included some photos of her from her first vet visit to illustrate her good nature.  She was happy to greet everyone & be examined without one bit of ill will, even when she was painful.  And we've included video of her romping with one of her foster sisters to illustrate how beautifully she has healed.
