NORA is our blue-eyed, smoot-coated beauty. At 14 pounds, she exudes confidence. This girl is also curious, adventurous, & is as happy to play on her own as she is to be involved in everyone else’s play.  She is always the first one to go on adventures, but when called, she turns on a dime & runs back to her foster mom, well, most of the time. Nora figures out quickly what it takes to get what she wants.  You do something with her & she says “I’ve got it” & tries to do it again to get rewarded.  Her favorite games are tug & tug & tug & then go chase one of her siblings. Even though Nora is adventurous, she is also tuned in to her foster mom. NORA loves people, gets along great with other puppies and adult dogs, but will need a cat-free environment. She is too interested and overexcited when she sees felines.   Arriving to our rescue on March 17th, the St. Paddy’s Day puppies range from 13 to 17 lbs.  With their bat ears, slim bodies, and cat-like feet we believe them to be McNab / border collie mixes. These puppies are coming PARTIALLY SPONSORED. Their adoption fees will be $125 (plus the $75 spay / neuter deposit (that’s a $300 sponsored reduction). The six puppies were split into two foster homes, with Patrick, Quinn, and Kelly in one home while Owen, Nora, and Erin are in another.

JAN is a soft and cuddly black and white puff ball rough coat border collie mix who loves pets and belly rubs. At 9 weeks and 9 pounds, this beauty is the quietest of the group, but don’t let that calm demeanor fool you. She knows what’s going on at all times. She will assert herself when the notion strikes to keep her sisters in line. Her favorite place: whichever lap or shoulder will have her. Scoop her up and JAN will give you kisses and snuggle up.

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.

SKITTLES was a great mom to her 10, yes 10, awesome Sweets and Treats puppies, and now she is ready for her forever home. Once her babies were adopted SKIT really began to shine. She has come a long way from the pancaking, pregnant, and shy gal to the protective, correcting mom, to a friendly, outgoing gal we foster parents love. She gets along well with people and other dogs. She’s been fine around the cats, but with her husky bloodlines we’d still caution against a home with cats. SKITTLES is about 2 years of age, 52 lbs., with a thick medium coat.

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.

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.
