She particularly likes to play with her brother.  She might like a home with another playful dog.  She is friendly & social with people, but will offer an alert bark when someone she doesn't know comes to call.  She is easy-going, & is a little bit on the soft side.  Tootsie likes to please & doesn't like to think she's made her human unhappy.

Meet HERCULES!  A sweet and cuddly 10-12-week-old puppy, HERCULES is 15 pounds with a brown/red beautifully marked medium coat and striking clear blue eyes.  His face markings are distinctive – he is one handsome boy!  HERCULES is highly socialized and loves being with his humans, receiving hugs and kisses, cuddling and receiving belly rubs.

ADOPTED – Freddy

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.

ADOPTED – SIAN (pronounced Shawn)

ADOPTED - Sian (pronounced Shawn) is a lovely, 45 pound, one-year-old girl who is looking for her forever home. She has fit it so easily to her foster care home and is eager to please She prefers to be by her human’s side and will nap quietly while you are working or busy with tasks that do not involve her. If necessary, however, she is also comfortable by herself outside or resting alone in her crate.

ADOPTED – DOVE

ADOPTED - DOVE saw to it that all four of her Bird Pups found great homes, and now it’s her turn. DOVE sports a short white coat with red ticking behind her ears and an ever so subtle red strip along the middle of her back. She is slight of build. At 45 lbs. she looks like she should put on a few pounds, but even three squares a day has not resulted in added weight. We don’t know what her DNA says, but we know she has a border collie heart and mindset. She is very active, loves to run and play with her buddy Perkins and whatever puppy we have added to the mix. She loves to pick up random sticks, branches or tennis balls and let them try to catch her to take it away. They don’t succeed but they have fun trying.

ADOPTED – LAYLA

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 – BUCKLEY

ADOPTED - BUCKLEY (BUCK BUCK) is an 11 week male bundle of joy. This 14 pound, tri-colored Border collie mix loves life. He has fun no matter what he’s doing. He enjoys being petted, will follow you around everywhere, and enjoys playing with his three adult dog siblings. He can be a little shy when he first meets another dog, but quickly gains confidence. He is not shy at all when meeting people. He loves everyone he meets. BUCKLEY would love another dog to learn from and hang out with, but may do well in a home as an only dog if his family wants to spend lots of time with him. If there is not another dog in the family he would benefit from play dates with other dogs.

ADOPTED – SALLY

ADOPTED - Little 17 pound SALLY is an adorable Borgi, a border collie/corgi mix.  Sally has the size & short legs of a corgi with the zip & smarts of a border collie.  She loves learning new things & is lightning fast.  Flyball height dog anyone?  When Sally first came into rescue, she was easily overwhelmed & was reluctant to engage in anything with her foster mom.  But Sally is quick to warm up when she gets to know someone.  Within a couple of days in her foster home, she was running wild zoomies in the backyard, retrieving toys & bringing them back every time (she obviously learned this in her previous home), & seeking pets & lap time with her foster mom.  Sally crate-trained in a fingersnap & has never had an accident in her foster home.

ADOPTED – Cindy Lou

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 – Lilly

LILLY Meet one of our Easter babies – LILLY! A sweet and cuddly 12-week-old puppy, LILLY is 15 pounds with a smooth beautifully marked black and white coat.

ADOPTED – MICKEY

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 – BENJI

ADOPTED - Meet BENJI! He’s about 4-5 years old according to our vets. A beautiful mix of border collie and probably heeler, this sweet boy is looking for his perfect home. BENJI weighs in at just over 40 pounds. He is friendly with everyone he meets. He gets along well with his foster brothers, but tends to get a little jealous when someone else is getting any pets. BENJI would happily settle on being an only dog, but does fine with others too, just don’t be surprised if he tries to wiggle himself in between you and another dog to hog all the love! So, if you have a dog or two that are more sensitive and require more attention, BENJI might not be the dog for you.

ADOPTED – DAISY DUKE

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.

ADOPTED – KIT

ADOPTED - KIT is a delightfully fun 1 ½ to 2-year-old female, light rough coat black tri border collie. She is about 30 lbs., but don’t let her petite size fool you; this girl is a little powerhouse.  Kit was picked up stray with the ball of her left hip broken.  She has had surgery to correct this and has made a full recovery!  Only those who know what they’re looking for, will notice any change in her gait. KIT is quick to learn and has the energy to put her training to use.  She has been started in nosework, is great at Frisbee and fetch, and has basic obedience skills.  She’s a great tugger and will release on command. 

ADOPTED – WREN

ADOPTED – At just under 4-months-old (born 1/27/2022), WREN is a fun, energetic, and unflappable girl of about 20 pounds. WREN loves to explore on her own, and mostly stays close by her humans when outside. While she likes spending time with her people, she also enjoys her foster siblings, chasing and romping around the yard together. WREN is quite the jumper and climber; she can climb any wire crate or pen. It’s normal to find her sitting atop our double-stacked crates in her pen area.  She is not above using her siblings as a springboard to accomplish her “lofty” goals. She is both agile and athletic but still displays the clumsiness of the puppy she is, especially when she’s tired. Activities like agility or nosework may be something to look into for the mental and physical activities she will need to be the best she can be.

ADOPTED – LARK

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.
