COSMO is a gorgeous—inside & out—3-year-old boy, who is also on the smaller side for a BC male (36#). His red & white coat is soft, & he loves to be stroked & petted, sometimes emitting a soft, keening howl of pleasure. Even though Cosmo’s coat is long, it’s tangle-free & easy to care for. While Cosmo is not a barker per se, he does occasionally “talk” or even “sing” a bit—when you talk or sing with him, but especially when his dear friend border collie Molly gets going. If you ask him to stop, he does so immediately.

JESS is just shy of one year old and weighs 50 pounds. He is a tricolor with a smooth coat, has those perky Border collie ears we all love and unique facial markings that with enough imagination make it look like he is wearing a mask!

ADOPTEDMALIBU is a BC mix with nice, soft ears that he sometimes flips open, as if he’s trying to air them out.  His easy-care coat is smooth and a joy to pet, which is great for Malibu.  He wants to be close to his human as he can be in the yard or on the couch getting a belly scratch or a massage. And he loves everyone he meets!  He is crate-trained, and when it’s mealtime, he will run into his crate and sit, waiting nicely.  He is smart and loves learning new things like sit and stay.  MALIBU is treat and toy motivated, so he will be a joy to train. Best of all: he is making good progress learning to potty outside.

AVALON (Male) was the smallest of the pups but is now catching up to his siblings, weighing in at 18 pounds. He has a soft short coat which is mostly black with some brownish-red highlighting and ticking around his nose and on his chest. Avalon (Av, Avy), enjoys snuggling, LOVES his lap time, gets along well with all his doggy friends, and seems to be ok with cats.

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.
