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.

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:
