Meet WILL - a one to two-year-old old 40-pound Border Collie-blend with a soft medium tri-color coat and beautiful markings including white socks and eyebrow highlights. As a young dog, this boy loves to cuddle, be petted, play and run, and is very sociable. WILL is curious, alert and smart; he does not show typical herding behaviors and is kind to everyone he meets. WILL likes to be out in the yard experiencing the day, but really prefers to be with his people, most comfortably nestled in a dog bed at your feet. He easily settles down for naps, and sleeps the entire night through in his crate.

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.

Loves walks!! Is easily distracted by all the sites, ie dogs, people. He wants to say "hello" to everyone. Seems more interested in the person than the dog.

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. 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.
