ADOPTION PENDING Meet SIMMY!  A sweet and cuddly 5-month-old puppy, SIMMY is 18 pounds with a smooth, beautifully marked black, white and red coat.  Her stand-up ears, expressive dark eyes and slim build may be a McNabb characteristic.  SIMMY loves being with her humans at all times, receiving hugs and kisses, cuddling and receiving belly rubs.  Her veterinarian thinks that SIMMY will be a 35-pound (or less) adult dog. 

SOPHIE AVAILABLE

Sophie is a little cutie, a lovely mix of border collie energy and Aussie sassiness.  Sophie is about one year old and is 40 pounds of pure lap-dog affection. She is also very much a puppy, and it shows. Her puppy antics are adorable. She is a girl who just wants to have fun, fun, fun!

ADOPTED – BONNIE

Bonnie is the cream of the crop, the cat’s meow, and the hidden gem every pet family hopes to find! This approximately one-year-old Border Collie is a wonderful blend of confidence, sensitivity, curiosity, and affection. She has so many of the qualities people dream of when searching for their perfect canine companion.

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. She likes to “hug” when meeting new people and at home she loves to follow her foster mom around the house!  Daisy also loves to play and wrestle with other dogs and would do great with another young playful dog, preferably a dog her own size or bigger.

ADOPTED – BUNGEE

**ADOPTION PENDING** Bungee is a 2-year-old border collie with a medium-thick coat, weighing 35 pounds. He is a cute little dog with freckles, and he always has a smile. Bungee loves people and is eager to please.

ADOPTED – STELLA

STELLA is a sweet and lively 15-pound, 4-month-old puppy who will steal your heart.  STELLA’s personality is fun, optimistic, sassy, playful, cuddly, wiggly, loving and wild!  She has beautiful red-brown coat with a touch of white on one foot and a star on her chest.    As an exuberant and active puppy, be prepared with games, training opportunities, and/or future dog sports.

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!

Bella is a very high energy and active dog, even despite her age. She loves playing ball, going on walks, or to the park.

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.
