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.

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.

STARBRIGHT has the most gorgeous & unusual tri-colored markings.  She has confidence in spades, & she’s a bit more independent that some of her littermates.  She loved the photographer who visited her foster home to take photos; STARBRIGHT was crawling all over her so much that it was hard to get her photos.  When there is a puppy play pile, she is often the puppy on top.  Like Loki, she keenly follows people.  She loves toys like tug toys & tunnels, & (see the photo) racing the tortoise across the yard.

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.

ADOPTED – SASSY

Sassy was always the last out of the kennel. She was slow like molasses. We started calling her Sweet Sassy Molassy. But once she came out of her shell and shrugged off her Initial shyness, she became SASSY!
