The following border collies mixes are available through other agencies or as independent placements by owners.  The adoption of the dogs listed below will be handled by the individual home or shelter listed in the dog's bio.  Glen Highland Farm is available to assist if needed.  For more information about these dogs, please use the contact information provided with each dog.
Glen Highland Farm volunteers have temperament tested those dogs displaying the GHF logo in their bio on the date indicated.  The evaluation and information provided is accurate, only as of that date.  All others are listed solely as a courtesy.

***********CAUTION***********
PLEASE BE AWARE that you need to check people out before handing over your dog to someone you do not know. There are unscrupulous people who appear to be good adopters so be cautious and check references, especially asking for a neighbor's phone number so you can be sure that the information about them is accurate. We recommend a  TRANSFER OF  OWNERSHIP agreement so that you can have some written agreement about  your dog's future situation in the event it does not work out for the person to keep the dog. It is important to insure that your dog does not eventually land in a shelter where he or she could be euthanized.  Instead, the person agrees in writing to notify you so that you can then step in and take an appropriate course of action.

Meet Oreo. Oreo is a great boy that unfortunately has wound his way up at the shelter after living in a home for his entire life. He is about 6 years old and is a very sweet dog.

He has not had the easiest past and is need of a home willing to offer him a lot of patience and love.

URGENT!!  Hey! My name is Vinny and I am a six year old border collie mix. I am extremely active and would do well with a home where I can run and get exercise. Because I was tied out most of my life, I lack basic training but I have started working with the volunteers at BARKS and they say I am doing great! I don't know how I am with kids or cats, but because of my large size, I would do better in a home with adults or older children. Think I'm a good fit for your family?

Hi, I’m Lacey. You’d never guess I’m 8 years old, because I have the energy of a young border collie, if you know what I mean. I love to be always on the move, sniffing and investigating everything. But, there are times when I can settle down and enjoy some attention. My coloring and markings make me look like a border collie, but my size and face look more like a sheltie. I’m good with other dogs, and didn’t seem to mind cats, either. I’m used to spending most of my time outside, but I’m sure I’d love being an inside dog, especially if that means more loving and attention.
Fez is a large, very handsome 4 to 5 year old male Border Collie/Retriever mix. He's a happy-natured dog. Fez never lived inside, so he needs house training. He wants an adults only home. Fez gets along with some dogs, but not with cats. See more pictures at: www.ayresanimalshelter.com

Dogs located in Pennsylvania 
Buddy and Lovey are border collie mixes that are located in the Perkiomenville SPCA in PA.  These dogs have been in the shelter for over 2 yrs as part of a court case.  (There were originally 30+ dogs being held)  Some dedicated volunteers have made it their mission to help socialize and place these dogs....  please consider opening your hearts to some very deserving spirits.  Contact Lesley at Cell 267-391-9971 E-mail: lesleymuirjones@msn.com for any additional information on them
Buddy – Male – Age 4-5 yrs  
Buddy is neutered, weighs 37lbs.  He is very confident, goes up to anyone for affection, he will connect, he’s independent and loves toys when he can get them but will be protective if another dog goes near it.  He does okay with the other dogs but he would prefer to be solo – no interest in them at all and appears to keep himself to himself. Buddy is also very smart, picks up very quickly.  Buddy is quite the character! We eagerly wait to see who is called to him
Lovey –Female – approx. 7 yrs old -  
Lovey is not spayed, she is approximately 32lbs.  She is a very sweet, smart dog and is desperate for a connection.  Very friendly and still a lot of bounce!  Lovey walks really nicely on the leash and would be just the best companion dog.  Lovey is not confident around small children so will be best placed in a home without children.  She gets on with other dogs but would be just fine being the ‘princess of the palace’!  Lovey is a very easy dog and should adapt to home life very quickly.
SCAMPER:  is an adorable 6 month old neutered male, black/white BC/spaniel mix.  He is UTD on all shots, dewormed, microchipped, on interceptor and frontline.  This little boy was a stay and came from a local shelter.  He is crate and leash trained and learning about being a house pet.  Scamper is playful, good with other dogs, but will need to attend obedience class to learn his obedience and become a well behaved dog.  He is in his puppy stage and full of fun, playing and trying to do better with his commands each day.  Scamper will need a fenced yard and someone will will spend time encouraging and reinforcing the basic commands (come, sit, down and off).  He is a loveable little boy that weighs about 30 lbs and is full grown.  The size of a cocker spaniel but energy of a border collie.  A home with older kids would be preferred since his energy level is high.  Scamper would make a wonderful family pet and willing to please.  Lots of kisses and hugs he loves also.  Scamper is now available and an application, home visit, vet and personal references are required.  For further questions, call Pat at 717-592-9707 or  email at Pamccann7@wmconnect.com

I'm Santana, the jolly canine counterpart of the famous namesake. I'm always smiling and love to spread holiday cheer. I was found as a stray, but it's estimated that I'm between 6 and 8 years old. It was just recently discovered that I will sit unprompted for a treat and will even speak for one! I think I remember having a home once where they offered me biscuits for good behavior and I miss that. I am happy to make new friends and am very excited for your visit. Santana has a great personality...he loves to play tennis ball and knows some tricks. He doesn't jump up and walks well on a leash. He is quickly becoming a volunteer favorite!

Annie is a beautiful, approximately 10-11 year old border collie mix that acts much younger than her age. She is a wonderful girl; she loves people and loves kids. She is friendly and obedient.   She loves to be petted, and will follow her person from room to room just to be with them.  She wants so much to please her "person."  She loves to go for walks and can walk and walk. I take her for two walks a day and she is able to do two miles at a time and still could keep going.  She would do best in a home with no other dogs as she appears to have always been an only dog and is nervous around other dogs, but does do well with older, more submissive dogs. She does not like cats. We prefer a fenced yard but she is very good on a leash. Annie qualifies for our Senior To Senior program. She deserves to have her own family to love her. Annie is being fostered in Lancaster. PA  Annie would be a great retirement home dog.  They would all love her, and she definitely is not a nipper.  She was great with kids as young as 4 giving her hugs and kisses. She settles in nicely after I leave the house, with maybe only a bark or two as I leave.   She doesn't bark when new people come into or leave the house.

These 2 sweet little dogs were left in the back yard of a "border collie, dog loving" family near Lansdale, PA.  They have been living with the family for several months while they look for a new home for them.  They get along with other dogs, cats, and kids. They even enjoy a good cuddle.  We think they are probably border collie/american eskimo mixes.  If you're interested in some more information - please contact Ann at Homeschool11@aol.com she can tell you all about them!  (They will need to be neutered as part of the adoption agreement)

Rex is a very sweet and affectionate adult border collie mix.  Poor Rex is looking for a loving person to hang out with, go on long walks with, and play with.  Rex needs someone to give him lots of TLC.  He has lived outside his whole life until he found a foster home.   Since then we have found that he IS house trained and crate trained.  He loves roaming around the house playing with toys and would love a fenced in yard.  He is very active for his age, loving walks and play time.  We think he'd do best with one dog his same size that would tolerate a lot of play or Rex could be the only dog. His foster mom says that Rex is as sweet as can be and wiggles all the time.  Please help Rex find his forever home!

DOLLY and ANGEL: nione month old Border Collie / Portuguese Podengo cross. These two girls have gotten the best of both breeds!

The girls play very well with and enjoy the company of other dogs. Dolly and Angel will only be placed in very active homes. They enjoy each other’s company but can be placed separately.

Sparky is a black/white male Border Collie mix(probably mixed with Sheltie), a year old. He gets along well with other dogs but has a very vocal voice, so sometimes the other dogs think he is not playing (it just takes them time to get used to it). The foster home's other dogs get along fine with him. When they first got him, he had never lived in a "pack" nor seen cats. Now, however, he has actually seen it all. Kittens, bunnies, ducks, other dogs and horses (which he doesn't seem to be to thrilled about), so he is socialized and can live comfortably with other animals. He is housetrained, crate trained, and likes kids -- but mostly older kids, not little kids. He also is very good in the car. He absolutely needs someone to be his leader. In addition, if you are interested in doing herding, he has been introduced to sheep and did very well. He is also had shots, is neutered and microchipped.

AUSTIN is a 2 - 3 year old border collie mix. He was rescued from a high kill shelter in Tenn. He was out of time so he came here to CT hoping to find a forever home. He is very friendly and loves to play with the other dogs in his foster home. He is a bit too interested in the kitties here so he should be placed in a home without cats. He wants to chase them but since the kitties here are too smart for that he has to settle for just barking at them which the kitties do not at all appreciate!! He is crate trained and housebroken. He has tested neg. for heartworm and is current on preventative. He is UTD on vaccinations and has been neutered. He is very treat motivated and learns quickly but still needs to learn good inside behavior so a positive reinforcement based class will be a condition of his adoption
