ADOPTED – DALTON

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. 

ADOPTED – KUMA

MAMA CASSIE’S (AKA CASSIOPEIA) Stars & Planets pups were born on 12/02/22, & at 9-weeks-old they are ready, ready, ready to find their forever homes.  Mama Cassie is a 32#, black & white, rough-coated girl with a bobbed tail.  She loves people, & her puppies have inherited her friendliness. 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.

ADOPTED – VENUS

MAMA CASSIE’S (AKA CASSIOPEIA) Stars & Planets pups were born on 12/02/22, & at 9-weeks-old they are ready, ready, ready to find their forever homes.  Mama Cassie is a 32#, black & white, rough-coated girl with a bobbed tail.  She loves people, & her puppies have inherited her friendliness. VENUS is the smallest of the group, but not by much.  And don’t tell her she’s little!  She is not afraid to go exploring & adventuring in the big yard on her own or with her littermates.  Venus also likes to play with toys: soft toys, boxes, puppy tunnels; she’s ready to play.  She also will sometimes hang out on the sidelines & watch before leaping into action & following along in the play.

ADOPTED – STARBRIGHT

MAMA CASSIE’S (AKA CASSIOPEIA) Stars & Planets pups were born on 12/02/22, & at 9-weeks-old they are ready, ready, ready to find their forever homes.  Mama Cassie is a 32#, black & white, rough-coated girl with a bobbed tail.  She loves people, & her puppies have inherited her friendliness. 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 – LOKI

MAMA CASSIE’S (AKA CASSIOPEIA) Stars & Planets pups were born on 12/02/22, & at 9-weeks-old they are ready, ready, ready to find their forever homes.  Mama Cassie is a 32#, black & white, rough-coated girl with a bobbed tail.  She loves people, & her puppies have inherited her friendliness. 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 – SIRIUS

SIRIUS is aptly named.  He is a typical playful pup, but he also has a focused, serious side.  He will sit for a cookie & hold that sit to wait for the next one.  He is gentle, but not timid.  He likes everyone he meets, but he loves his one special person; he’s like a little shadow.  Like his littermates, he likes most toys; well, to tell the truth, he pretty much likes anything that he gets to do with his person. 

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!

ADOPTED – TIPPER

Tipper is a very energetic and friendly pup. Only the very tip of her tale is white so we started calling her Tip and that turned into Tipper. She is Border Collie level curious with the energy and focus to back it up.

ADOPTED – HENRI

Meet HENRI! Henri is a handsome 36 lbs., two year old, black and white smooth coat border collie (possibly McNabb mix) with big brown eyes and soft ears looking for his forever home. He loves belly rubs, ear rubs and long walks. He is great on a leash, travels well in his crate in the car and takes his treats gently. 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.
