RUSS AVAILABLE

Meet Russ! Russ a 3.5-year-old, 42-pound, border collie mix. He is a sweet, silly boy, who enjoys playing and being close to humans. While he is dog-friendly, Russ especially values human companionship, often coming over to give his foster mom a little lick of affection. When she’s working at her desk, Russ likes to lie on her feet or lean in for a snuggle. He is happiest following his people around or playing games with them. A recent favorite is chasing a flirt pole, and he has just learned to fetch.

ADOPTED – MILO

Meet marvelous Mr. Milo! He is about 2-years-old, a BC/Aussie mix, who weighs 34lbs. Milo's favorite thing is his person and going for walks. He gets excited when the leash comes out and will sit patiently by the door for his harness to be put on.

ADOPTED – GARNET

GARNET is a 30 pound, fiery-red 4.5-month-old beauty.  She is loving, playful, and enthusiastic, a “pretty lovely” combination according to her foster mom.  GARNET is social and seeks attention.  She doesn’t want to miss out on anything, but she also likes people contact, sometimes stopping for a minute to lean into her person.  GARNET is not at all shy; in fact, nothing scares her or puts her off.  She is curious about everything and everyone and likes attention, allowing all handling, even at the vet’s office. 

ADOPTED – TANK

Tank is an approximately 2-year-old Border Collie weighing around 47 pounds, and he is such a wonderful combination of playful, affectionate, goofy, and easy to live with. Tank is a cuddly guy who forms strong bonds with his people. He may be a little reserved when meeting someone new, but it doesn’t take him long to warm up. Before you know it, he’ll be looking for affection and enjoying being part of the action. Once you’re his person, you’ll have a loyal little shadow who loves being included in everyday life.

ADOPTED – JACK

JACK is a fluffy puffball senior border collie looking for a soft landing spot with a loving family that will pet him and love on him. We figure JACK to be about 11.5 years of age. He is a long-haired rough coat that weighs in at about 50 pounds. He gets along with the other dogs in the house but doesn’t engage with the adult dogs when they want to play. He & Coral, a former puppy foster, were especially tight. They loved hanging out together, cuddling during down time, and traveling about the yard during free time. They really enjoy played “bookends” to their foster dad, jumping up on the couch to join him to watch ballgames and get pets (not necessarily in that order).

ADOPTED ZUKI

Zuki is a five-month-old Border Collie mix weighing approximately 25 pounds. He is full of personality and has a wonderful blend of confidence, curiosity, and intelligence. Zuki is highly food- and toy-motivated and loves training with his human. He learns quickly, enjoys engaging with people, and is always excited to earn a reward. Like any typical confident puppy, he wants to experience the world—whether that's exploring new places, meeting new people, or trying new adventures.

ADOPTED – MILES

**ADOPTED** MILES is a two-year-old 56-pound Border Collie-blend with a beautiful red and white rough (long) coat, golden eyes, and a magnificently feathered tail.

ADOPTED – DAISY DUKE

Meet our sweet little Daisy Duke! She is about 1.5 years old and weighs 30lbs with a short, easy-care coat. Daisy is very people and dog social.

ADOPTED – BUNGEE

ADOPTED – COSMO

Meet Cosmo, an 8-month-old, 28# border collie mix.  He is sweet, enthusiastic, playful, curious, & ready for his forever home!  Cosmo bounds through life & loves learning new things: how to retrieve his Holy Roller ball & return it, that other dogs are as much fun as Disneyland, & that when he rides in the car, it’s great because he gets to meet new people & have “puppaventures” when the car reaches its destination.  Even going to the vet is a joyous adventure for him.  To this kiddo, everything is good!

ADOPTED – VERA

Meet VERA, a 9-year-old, 50 pound border collie mix. Miss VERA is black and white with an easy to maintain short coat. She has ears you can’t miss from miles away, but we like to say they are the better to hear you with. This girl is as low maintenance as a dog can get and simply put an absolute dream. She loves anybody and everybody. VERA offers that border collie nudge as soon as you think you are done petting her that nobody can resist. She is eager to please, comes quickly when called, and enjoys treats as much as a pat, so any additional training should come easy for both you and her.

ADOPTED – LOKI

LOKI is 40 pounds of love and affection. He is approximately 5 years of age with a smooth, easy to maintain, black and white coat. LOKI adores people. He can think of nothing better than being loved on. In fact, he rolls over for belly rubs or stops at the door, turns around, and insists on pets before going out to do his business. He absolutely loves the attention and seeks physical contact companionship any time of day or night. We had friends over for game night, and we were very proud of how he behaved when meeting so many new people all at once.

ADOPTED – COCO

Meet Miss Coco! She is a 2.5-year-old, 52lb, BC/McNab mix with a easy care, tri colored smooth coat. She also has a docked tail that is about 6 inches long. Coco's favorite thing is her person.

You haven’t lived until you’ve met BAXTER. This boy is so friendly that he simply cannot “hold his licker.” BAXTER loves everyone: people as well as other dogs. When he first came into rescue, he learned quickly not to jump up on people (GOOD BOY). He plays with other friendly dogs, but his 1st choice is always people. If people are around, so is BAX.

JOE OWNER AVAILABLE

Meet Jiuer ("Joe") Please read the entire bio (bite history explained) before inquiring. Joe is a 2.5-year-old, 16 kg (35 lbs) male Border Collie looking for a special home with an experienced owner who understands high-drive working breeds. He is up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped, and was recently neutered. Joe is incredibly intelligent, athletic, and eager to stay active. He loves being outdoors, enjoys fetching balls and loves being around people. He is friendly with strangers and has many of the qualities people love about Border Collies—bright, energetic, observant, and always ready to engage. Joe's ideal home is one with an experienced adult owner who is familiar with herding breeds and committed to providing consistent structure, ongoing training, regular exercise, and appropriate mental enrichment. He is not suitable for a first-time dog owner or a family with young children. Joe has a history of resource guarding and territorial behavior. There have been two bite incidents involving family members, one of the recent incidents required medical treatment. Because of this history, we don't feel that we can safely manage him anymore. He will need an owner who understands these challenges and is prepared to work through them carefully.

FREDDY OWNER AVAILABLE

If interested in Freddy, please contact Melanie via email at mehacklander@gmail.com. Freddy is a 7-year-old, 55-pound, neutered Border Collie looking for a home where he can thrive. True to his breed, he loves to play—especially with his Jolly Ball—but he's also happy to spend most of the day relaxing. He's never been destructive, rides well in the car, and is an easy companion to have around.
