PISMO (Male) is 19 pounds and oh so sweet. This beautiful boy is a black and white smooth coat with ticking. He loves a good play session with his siblings but also loves a quiet cuddle. A fast learner, Pismo will love to learn new things that will make him think as well as play & exercise. He might enjoy dog sports like agility, or canine scent work (aka nosework). PISMO will want to be with you, doing things together that you will both enjoy. He can also entertain himself with toys during down time. PISMO is willing to do whatever is asked of him and then snuggle with you afterward.

UNA is 12 weeks and 15 pounds with a soft black coat, classic white markings, and the most astonishing ears!   Occasionally NASA calls on her to listen into deep space for them.  Her coat will probably be short (not smooth) to medium in length. And her personality?  “Play” is Una’s middle name. She loves to play fetch with whatever toy or ball is thrown. She also loves to play tug with her foster mom and dad, or with any or all of the big dogs in the house. Her adult dog buddies Perkins and Skittles accommodate her whenever they are together. Una has recently graduated into the big dog room, where the big dogs, in turn, join her for socialization and play. 

Our little cuddlebug, MIYA, is a mere 25 lbs, 1 year old, with a smooth, gorgeous tri-color coat. She loves to snuggle on the couch or in bed (if allowed she would LOVE that). She will be fine in a crate overnight as well. Miya gets along well with the other dogs in the house. She really loves the company of other young dogs to play with. They provide her much needed comfort and outlet for her energy. This girl loves to play and wrestle!

Meet GiGi!   Gigi is a beautiful red and while rough-coated border collie mix.  She is an approximately 2-year-old, 38-pound spayed female.    She has beautiful brown eyes, soft ears, and a gorgeous, feathered tail.    She is very friendly and wants to engage with everyone she meets, even at the vet’s office.   GiGi is a typical, young herding dog in that she needs lots of exercise, activity, and stimulation.  Without it, she gets bored and looks for things to do.  GiGi loves to be out and about, enjoying walks in the neighborhood and going to the dog park.  She generally plays very well with the other dogs and does not show any signs of aggression.  That said, she does try to herd some of the other dogs and can play a little rough at times.  And she sometimes thinks it’s fun to steal other dogs’ balls or to play when another dog doesn’t really don’t want to play.  However, she responds well to direction from others and to being told “that’s enough.”  GiGi loves walks!  She is great on a leash; she does not pull and will generally sit when asked to sit.  She is learning to bring the leash to the door for her walks.  She gets very excited when “leash” is mentioned.  On her walks, she is not bothered by cars or trucks, but she is not fond of the roaring sounds of motorcycles. 

BERNARD, aka BERNIE, is a happy, delightful, 3-year-old tri-colored border collie mix with a medium rough coat. He weighs in at 36 lbs. Bernie fit into his foster home quite well from the word go. His preference is to spend his time with his people, but also enjoys the company of his four foster siblings (male and female) and they enjoy his company. They love to run, play, and wrestle around. After some running and playing, he loves to join his foster dad on the swinging bench for pets and cuddles. When inside, if we give him a sliver on the couch he’ll squeeze his way in or just make his home on dad’s lap (try saying no to that face).
