Cheech
is a very affectionate 4 year pure bread BC (with papers) that is trained
and neutered. My dad absolutely loves him, but has recently become
too ill to take care of him. Cheech has a lot of energy, like all
BCs, but once he has a bit of exercise and play he will be very mellow.
He loves to run and have his belly rubbed. He is extremely loyal.
He is good with kids (although he thinks their toys are his sometimes) and
other dogs, but has not been around cats, so I don’t know about that
one. We are located in Woodbridge, NJ
Please contact me if you are interested – lorinando@yahoo.com I will not have him “shipped” anywhere – you will have to come meet him and then pick him up or I can possibly meet you half way. |

| Wyatt is approximately one year old. His family moved and left him behind. He is very playful, with tons of energy for a very active family. Wyatt loves people and gets along with other dogs but needs a doggie friend that can keep up with his energy and active play. We believe that Wyatt is a border collie/springer spaniel mix and weighs about 60 pounds. He would enjoy lots of walks, interesting activities, and best of all -- a family to love and be loved in return. He is currently living at Orphans of the Storm in Kittanning PA. Please call for more information 724-548-4520 or email orphansofthestorm@hotmail.com | |

Spirit,
17
months, 45 pounds
Spirit is an absolute gem of a girl, sparkling with energy. She is VERY smart, curious, and fun. Supposedly a BC mix, her temperament is more like a purebred. Spirit has been socialized beautifully, with one loving foster family from age 8 weeks. She has had extensive exposure to people, dogs, sights and sounds. She loves giving kisses and smiles, getting chin and belly rubs. She is good-natured and well-adjusted. She doesn’t have separation anxiety, fear or aggression. She isn’t overly sensitive and responds well to correction. Her inside behavior is well-mannered, she doesn’t destroy. She actually has the ability to give herself a quick time out to calm down when her exuberance is unrecirpocated! Spirit seeks a deep bond with people. Initially she is pushy and will try to control the relationship. However when secure with firm, consistent leadership, she is happy to follow your command and tries very hard to please. She imitates and “helps”, unloading the dishwasher, getting the hats/gloves, bringing items she thinks you want. She is so happy when you give her jobs and appreciate her work. Spirit likes to meet and play with dogs. She seems to have bossy alpha tendencies and sometimes needs to be reminded of her manners with non-BC dogs. She does not currently have the opportunity to play with other BCs, but we think she would do well with them, especially if they could match her energy level. Spirit LOVES novelty and new situations to explore. She loves training, is eager to please, anticipating commands. If she has no outlet for her energy and intelligence, working behaviors (herding, nipping, chasing, barking) are exhibited. However, she also very much loves calm evenings at home sharing affection with her family. She has been respectful with children she knows, but with her working behaviors and especially her adeptness with doors /gates, she should be supervised around small children. Spirit is patiently waiting for her new life to begin. She doesn't have a fenced yard and, sadly, she has to spend some time in a crate of a rescue room. She is frustrated in a suburban setting with children, joggers, bicycles, cars, dogs, cats, birds, balls, frisbees yet no freedom. Spirit’s foster mom loves her, walks her often and is dedicated to finding her a home where her wonderful BC nature is treasured. Many non-BC applicants have been turned down because Spirit deserves one successful placement with an experienced BC family to understand her, keep her engaged and shower her with affection. Spirit will give so much in return! Spirit is spayed, UTD with shots, and has completed basic obedience, and is great with "come". Call or write to learn more.

Valentino is a loving and well behaved border collie mix who is
looking for a family with more time to spend with him. Tino loves to
play ball or Frisbee and loves the water, whether it's splashing in a kiddie
pool or swimming in a lake or pond. He enjoys other dogs but would
mostly like to be your constant companion! He's healthy and
fit and has had basic obedience training. Tino does best with
companionship most of the day since he can be anxious when left alone.
He could benefit from living with another dog, having a canine friend.
Tino lives in the Rochester, NY area. |

Brandy is an exceptionally bright girl with a ton of energy. She
will need a family that is able to give her lots of exercise and is
willing to endlessly play catch with her. She came to the shelter when her
family was moving and couldn't take her with them. She is a "herding
dog" breed that needs to be challenged. If you're looking for a
running partner, she may be the perfect dog for you.

TEDDY is a 4 month old border collie mix male puppy. He is a sweet boy who loves to be hugged but also needs someone with a lot of patience. He is currently going through his chewing stage. He is not house trained yet but working on it. Teddy has had a difficult start in life - our vet feels he's been exposed to canine distemper, which has left him with some neurological challenges, but he's stabilized and looking for a home that will love him for all he is. He's a wonderful little pup - with plenty of love and magic to share with the right family. Atlantic Regional Border collie rescue in VA has graciously opened one of their foster homes for Teddy - email caninecoach@netzero.com for more info |

Sparky - Her official name is Sparky, but I mostly call her
“Puppy”. She is called “puppy” because she was the one puppy
we kept from our adult dog’s litter. Sparky is a 1 and ½ year old
female Border Collie mix. Her dad is a pure bred Border Collie from
a Montana ranch and her mom is a Black Lab/German Shepherd mix. We
were not planning on puppies, but her dad was a new neighbor and he was
very friendly.
We live in SE Pennsylvania. Sparky is spayed and has all her shots. She is a healthy, very friendly dog, with lots of energy and many Border Collie traits. We have a small farm and she chases our cows, but we don’t need them to be chased! She would love to be a stock dog and herd anything she could. I wish I had the time and attention that she deserves to be a good dog. She is used to living in the country and being outside. She sleeps in the barn at night. She needs a home with lots of space to run and an owner with time to train her and give her work to do. She is very intelligent. I can tap on my kitchen window and she comes running to the porch. |
| She is loyal and sticks right by your side wherever you go. She is such a great dog, I truly want to keep her. But, I am failing her by not being able to attend to her Border Collie traits. I have found this dog to be like a small child in how she thinks, but also the time she requires. She wants to work and play and do the right thing. If interested please email, Laura, at larnmcnutt@verizon.net or call 610-693-5604. I look forward to hearing why you want a Border Collie and answering your questions. I would appreciate a reference. | |

pal.
She is currently at the Animal Rescue League in Pittsburgh,
PA. |

| Meet Oliver (Ollie). Ollie was rescued from a high kill shelter in TN. He was to be the next dog put down because of space so he was pulled and transported to Upstate New York where he lives with his foster Mom and Dad and 2 Border Collie brothers and one cat sister. He is about a year old UTD on shots, neutered, housebroken, crate trained and learning new things every day. He is very smart and embraces every quality of the Aussie breed. He is high energy and has an amazing sense of self. He is not scared of a single thing (including the vacuum). He loves the water, belly rubs, snow and watching cars pass by the house out of the front window. If you let him, he will sit down right outside the bathtub while you are taking a shower and peek his head in and bite at the water as it comes down. He has become the house shadow and follows anything that moves. Though he does have a mind of his own he is a very fast learner and aims to please. Because he is high intensity Ollie would do best in a home with older children (he loves kids but can be a little rough when playing)! He gets along fine with cats as long as the cat is dog savvy and can stick up for itself. An adoption application (including personal and vet references) is required along with a fenced yard. He would prefer to be in a home with other dogs because he really craves interaction. If you are interested in meeting Ollie or if you have any questions please call Bryce at 1-262-745-4477 or email laducb@yahoo.com. Ollie is being fostered in Upstate New York – about an hour north of Albany, NY | |

is a 1 year old, Border Collie Ocean

Licorice was found wandering the local streets in October 2007. He is
young, possibly under a year, and of medium size with a beautiful medium
length coat. He looks something like a border collie – chow mix and with
his combination of breed, temperament and age he currently has a high
energy level. When asked to perform a task that requires focus, such as
obedience and agility training, Licorice responds well and gives the
handler and the job in hand his full attention. During less structured
activities such as walking and playing with toys, Licorice can become
distracted or over excited which results in his getting mouthy and jumpy.
In contrast Licorice can show excellent restraint when asked and can
perform an immediate sit and leave-it on command and he is very motivated
by treats. Licorice really needs a home that wants to make the most of his
active mind and high energy; if ignored Licorice has the potential to
become unruly in an effort to both entertain himself and get the attention
he craves. Licorice has already responded exceptionally well to training
and his new family will have the opportunity to guide his behavior through
training.
Please call the shelter 516-767-4615 during working hours (Mon. to Fri. 8AM-4:30PM; Sat. 12-4PM) for more information about Licorice, the adoption process at the shelter and to confirm availability. Please go to www.theshelterconnection.com Or to the shelter page on Petfinder for more information about and directions to the shelter. Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter Port Washington, NY |

My name is Lily Beth, and i am at the shelter because my family
lost there job and couldn't keep me any longer. Don't think for a second
that just because i am a little older that i don't have the energy of a
puppy! I am looking for an extremely ACTIVE home, and an owner that has
had some dog experience in the past. I LOVE to run and play, especially
fetch. I am a bit shy at first, but once i get used to you then i am your
best friend. When i am excited, i sit up on my hind or front legs and
dance around. I have the typical quirky border collie personality, so if
you love border collie's, then i am the girl for you!

My name is Anna Belle. I am about 8 years old, female, spayed Border Collie. My first home was with a family with two young girls and due to my breed I thought they were sheep, so I was placed into my current home, which is a farm with horses, 4 other dogs, chickens and ducks. I thought they were all sheep too! My owners have had me for over 6 years. Everything was fine but now they have a young toddler and I think she is a sheep! So I am looking for a new loving home and hopefully my FINAL and long lasting permanent home, preferably with no children, Got any sheep? I walk well on the leash and I am completely house broken. I know a few basic commands like sit, down, and speak, I do have a hard time with "come" that's is why I have to be tied while outside or I will take off for a few hours. I am very energetic. I would also prefer not to have any cats in the house as I like to chase them, you guessed it like sheep. So maybe if your looking for a good partner to do some agility with or if you have a sheep farm I am the dog for you, I also love to play ball or Frisbee. I also love snuggling on the couch and long belly rubs. I really need some one on one with the perfect person. Or I would make a good jogging partner. I am a loyal and very loving dog that's just not happy in the current living situation. I have been known to have some aggression toward other dogs with food, I would probably do better in a home with no other dogs. If you are interested please e-mail or call |

This is a typical shot of Gracie -- tongue sticking out showing her
goofy side! Gracie tends to be shy upon first meeting, but who could blame
her for not knowing if she can trust everyone. After Gracie gets to know
you she will bring you a ball to throw, and roll over to have her belly
scratched. Gracie doesn't care much to be cooped up in her run, but once
outside she loves to take long walks, while stopping occasionally to roll
around in the grass like a young puppy. Gracie is about three years old,
is housetrained, and she has attended obedience training. She knows sit,
stay, down, and give paw like a pro. Stop by to say hello to Gracie, but
be prepared-- she just might steal your heart.

Say 'hello' to Missy! Missy
is a very outgoing, happy-go-lucky gal! Believe it or not, she was found
running all alone one chilly evening. Missy is very friendly and active,
in fact she tends to be a busy-body. Missy will need some basic obedience
training to better her manners. She would do well in almost any home, as
she is great with kids. Please consider adopting this sweet pup today!

Meet MISTER!! Sweet energetic approximately 4 year old intact
Border Collie/Husky type mix. He is all BOY! He thinks he's a tough cookie
but he's nothing but a big lover! He came to me with no knowledge of any
training and now sits and waits and lets me stick my hand in the feed
dish, and is doing well on the leash. He really wants to please! I've
gotten to know him more and the longer I have him the more I think this is
an awesome dog that someone is missing out on!. He acts like he would like
to work, not like a border collie but more like a husky. I have been
taking him for walks with my ATV and the faster I go the faster he goes!
He would make an awesome winter partner for anyone that is interested in
skigoring or sledding! He had a great time playing with my neighbors black
and tan hound. He had his first outing the other day and he rides fabulous
in the car and was very happy at the vets with all of the dogs he met
there. We went for ice cream after that. He likes vanilla :-). He's a
really great dog! UPDATE : Mister went to his first horse show and was
soooo well behaved. He was great around the horses and he LOVES kids! He
was a perfect gentleman with all that was going on. Wonderful, Great dog!
