KALLI is a 6 year old Border Collie, very loving, friendly, playful. She is extremely observant, loves to be in the action yet she is relatively calm for a border collie and is very smart, loyal and obedient.  She gets along well with other dogs and is good with dog-savvy cats, especially playful ones. Kalli likes the water and is happy to wade in to explore.  Kalli has lived with one family almost her entire life and has been very well loved and treated. She would be a wonderful companion. She is about 50 pounds.  She is being relinquished due to a new baby in the family. Kalli came from upstate NY.

Wonderful MOLIE found her forever home with a guardian who adores the breed and absolutely fell in love with her sweet, brilliant ways, everything from tossing the jolly ball to laying quietly at his feet, happy to be with him. They were a delightful team and clearly a wonderful life ahead for Molie who now lives in Cape Cod and has her own fenced yard for lots of play and exploring and will share her heart constantly with her new person each and every day.

MOLIE is a 7 year old spayed female Border Collie. She is a wonderful girl, sweet, affectionate, energetic, fast, and bright eyed. She gets along well with Border Collies, since they are on the same wavelength, especially submissive males. She lived with another Border Collie and could again, or could enjoy life as a solo dog with all the attention. She is a delightful companion. Molie is very people oriented with a great desire to please. She is well trained, knows all the basic commands, has a great recall and is a very fast learner. She has been territorial with a neighbor's dog so will need a hard fence. Molie was very well loved in her home and they are heartbroken over losing her. She came from the Pittsburgh area.  

BUDY: An 8 year old Border Collie, Budy is a very intelligent, thoughtful dog who wants to be a close companion to his person. He is very friendly in meeting anyone and easy going in new situations, coming right to the Farm, for example, mixing in with lots of dogs and saying hello to all the people at the recent seminar. Budy enjoys being with people and would be best where someone was around most of the time so he can share his affection. He is very loving and also great with other dogs. He also loves the Jolly Ball and will carry it around, throwing it in the air, creating his own fun! Budy previously lived with a sheltie but could easily live on his own as the solo dog or with a more submissive dog since he likes his own space rather than the rough play of young dogs. He is good with cats. Budy is carrying some extra weight since his access to exercise changed with illnesses in the family who previously had him. Budy was close to the family members who died a few months ago and the family no longer felt they had time to meet his needs. He was relinquished to the farm from PA.

MINDY: A 6 mo old Border Collie, Mindy is a wonderful, high energy girl who needs lots of activity to be happy. She loves toys and wants to play, play, play. She is great with people and understands cues from older dogs around her. She is about 15 pounds, typical in size for her age. Mindy will be placed with another Border Collie, to handle her needs best.
