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.

ADOPTED – MILO

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.

Henri knows basic skills, such as “sit”, and is learning to “shake”. He is a quick learner.

ADOPTED – SUGAR

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.

Adopted – Peppermint Patty

PEPPERMINT PATTY is a playful snuggle bug. She is respectful of her siblings and enjoys playing with them, but really wants to be with her people, especially to cuddle. Couch time is her favorite time of day. She gets along well with other dogs (siblings and adult dogs in the household). Our dog savvy cats are not crazy about her and that tells us an environment without cats would be best.
