Her recall especially is quite impressive. BAILEY is also crate-trained and spends the nights and her time alone in a wire kennel. She could benefit from some leash training as she does tend to pull.

ADOPTED – Skittles’ Sweets & Treats Border Collie Mix Puppies

Mom SKITTLES (a BC Mix) came to us very big and very pregnant. A few days later, on September 18th, THE SWEETS & TREATS PUPPIES came into this world raring and ready to go. All four boys are adopted. They were Cracker Jack (CJ), Clark (Bar), Nougat, & Heath (Bar). Of the six girls, two remain available: Peppermint Patty & Sugar. ADOPTED were Marshmallow, Snickers, & Tootsie (Roll), Caramel. Clark is the biggest, clearing the rest by 2 plus pounds, and Tootsie is the smallest. All are quite adept at using the doggy door to both go out and come back in. The door leads to a secure patio deck where they go out to play and potty. Their potty training is going very well. During the day, and even overnight, they (mostly) venture out to do their business. The puppies are all eating out of individual bowls in a sectioned off pen. They are getting better at sitting prior to heading over from their living quarters to the food pen. They are a smart, active, polite group…especially considering the size of the litter. They are attentive, friendly, and love to be cradled and given belly rubs! SKITTLES (55 to 60 lbs.) will be spayed late November and be posted for adoption after healing. Now let me introduce her babies:

ADOPTED – ALLIE

ADOPTED – Little Allie girl is a 15lb, 4m old BC mix puppy with a smooth easy care coat. Her favorite thing is her person and she will follow you around the house, wiggling with joy every time you look her way. She has a super sweet, affectionate personality. Allie loves other dogs and will gladly engage in a game of wrestling and gnawing on each other. She is respectful of the older dogs at her foster and will leave them alone if they don't want to play. Allie is pretty good with cats and mostly just wants to play with them, but she can be a little over zealous in her play so any home with cats would have to be very dog savvy cats.

ADOPTED – BRODY

ADOPTED – Let us introduce Mr. BRODY!  BRODY is a fun-loving 35-pound ball of energy with a beautiful rough coat. BRODY is petite in size and approximately 10 months old so he’s done growing.  He is the perfect size! BRODY is crate trained and easy to live with in the house. He’s cooperative to do what the humans ask.  He loves all toys and laying down to chew a bone during evening hours.  

ADOPTED – CEMI (See’Me)

ADOPTED - Meet CEMI (See’ Me), a 50-pound 4-year-old rough coat boy with classic black and white markings. CEMI is kind, happy and smart, a ‘velcro’ dog who wants to be with his owner all the time. He may do very well as an only dog. CEMI has classic BC personality traits such as reacting to crazy energy (in his foster dog pack) and watching for squirrels. It is said that he reacts to livestock, so a home without horses or cattle, may be in order. CEMI has not been tested with cats.

ADOPTED – KERIYON

KERIYON (“K”) is quite the gentleman. He is great with people. Everywhere he goes folks adore him. The shelter said he was a great dog, the vet called his fosters, who they know quite well, and recommended we take him into rescue, and the groomer commented on how good he was for them. They were all smiles when his foster dad picked him up. “K” gets along well with other dogs and seems neutral with cats. Our dog savvy cats are not afraid of him.

Adopted – Mr. Tibbs

Adopted - Adoption Pending - Mr. Tibbs (Tibbs) is a 10 month old border collie mix. He can be shy at first with new people and new dogs but warms up quickly. He loves wrestling with his foster brother & sister and would do best in a home with another young and/or playful & energetic dog.

ADOPTED – OZZIE

He weighs 49.5 pounds and stands 24 inches at the shoulder. Ozzie is estimated to be one to be two-years-old.

ADOPTED – SADIE

ADOPTED – Say hello to our sweet SADIE girl. She is 1 year old BC/Aussie mix with a super soft, tri color, medium length coat. She is about 40lbs and has the most beautiful fluffy tail. Her marking are quite stunning! Sadie's favorite thing is split between her person and other dogs. She will follow her foster mom around the house, but when it's play time or the other dogs in the house get excited about something she is right there ready to go. 

ADOPTED – JOLENE

JOLENE (JO) Meet JO, a 34-pound 1 ½ -year-old smooth coat girl with classic black and white markings. JO has beautiful standup ears in her foster family’s eyes and looks like a McNabb.

ADOPTED – FRANKIE

ADOPTED – FRANKIE is a 34lb, smooth coat male BC who is about 1yr old. His favorite thing is his person and he will follow you around the house and lay nearby. He will also get up on the couch and lay next to you and will even cuddle if encouraged. FRANKIE loves other dogs and gets along well with his pack mates in foster. He would do well in a home with or without other dogs. He would enjoy the company of another playful dog, but would also be happy to get all the attention. He is submissive with other dogs so any other dogs in the household would have to be OK with that. FRANKIE leaves the cats in his foster home alone and would be fine in a household with dog savvy cats. He does not seem too ball motivated, but that could change. He loves to shred plush toys! He is still a young boy and will chew things, like socks or shoes, if given the opportunity. A little puppy proofing and some chew toys and he is a happy camper.
