Quiz

Quiz is an approximately 8 months old male border collie who was found as a stray in neglected condition. He has bloomed into a strong and handsome young man, and is a sweet and fun little guy! He is confident and curious, and takes to training extremely well. He could make a great sports companion and should be given a chance to do great things! He is coming along well with house training and potty training, and is working on recalls and reliability.

Rocky

Rocky is a young 2.5 year-old, 55 lb. American Staffordshire Terrier, Australian Cattle Dog, and English Shepherd mix with a sensitive, gentle nature.

He is shy and cautious, especially with new people, but once he trusts you, he becomes very affectionate and loves cuddles, belly rubs, and staying close to his person.

Poppy

Poppy Lou is a 3 y.o. female Border Collie.

Poppy has lived with her current (and only) family for 3 years and was brought home at 8 weeks old. She has not adjusted well to living with a toddler during the past year and it is believed she will do best long term in a home with only adults as she has a general uneasiness around children.

Finnley

We are looking to rehome our 5 year old Border Collie, Finnley. This is not an easy decision, but we want to find him the best possible home where he can truly thrive.

Finnley is incredibly smart, sweet, and loyal. He listens well and loves having a job to do. He is neutered and up to date on care.

Dash

Dash is a 3 y.o. Border Collie. About 50ish lbs. Neutered. Microchipped. Vaccinated. He is housebroken, but if he gets excited, he may tinkle. Crate trained. Leash trained. Has basic dog training: heel, stay, sit & come. Good recall. Has boarded during vacations. Is regularly groomed. He loves being outside in any weather.

Bonnie

Bonnie is a 2-year-old Border Collie with a gentle heart and a brilliant mind.

Her story began a little sadly—she was found left in a shelter lobby with only a note sharing her name and birthday. While we may never know why she was left behind, it’s clear she was once loved and taught so much.

Dapple

Dapple is a 3 year old border collie cattle dog mix and frisbee champion with a great sense of humor. She is looking for an agility partner who has an active lifestyle – someone who enjoys exploring and finding new activities to keep her busy. Dapple would be stoked to learn new tricks with you!

Teeko

Teeko is a 9 year old neutered Border Collie mix with a ton of personality and energy. He is a loyal companion and he adores attention. He loves walks, hikes, swims, belly rubs, couch snuggles, scritches, and being with his people. He is very trainable and happy to do tricks for you. He is house-trained, crate-trained and enjoys car rides. He will welcome you home every day with the BIGGEST full-body tail wags. Teeko has been described as “happy-go-lucky, good-natured, sweet, and joyful.”

Bubba Bear

A sensitive, loyal, cuddly, and incredibly smart 6 year old cattle dog/border collie mix.

He is in need of a new home because he has been increasingly struggling with our unpredictable and rambunctious toddler. Our small space makes it especially challenging to navigate this already precarious dynamic and we believe Bubba Bear will do best in a home without small children.
