Handsome Benny is a very smart, active, playful 6 month old puppy
surrendered because he was not getting along with the smaller male dog in
the household. He is looking for a home where he can be the only pet, or
possibly with a larger female dog that can put him in his place. Typical
of his breed mix he is high energy and highly intelligent, and needs a
home that can provide the physical and mental stimulation he requires. He
is only about 30-35 pounds and probably won't get too much bigger. Please
submit an application if you are interested.

Meet Bailey a 3 year old border collie mix (his mom was a BC) He is
45 lbs. He loves a good snuggle with a rub down, and curling up on
his fluffy bed after a long walk or shorter run or a trip to the park. He
loves to chew on his nylabone and other toys and adores
"working" with commands (sit, paw, etc) for treats! He loves to
ride in the car and is happy to accompany you on even short rides! Bailey
would be best in a home with a fenced yard or an active owner, and older
kids. He likes to play with other dogs, but has never shared his
living space with other dogs or cats. He's crate trained and has a
bladder of steel. Bailey is also not a morning dog and is happy to
lounge around until you're ready to go! With the arrival twins this past
year, we aren't' able to give Bailey the time he so deserves.

DAISY:
A 5 year old Spaniel mix (maybe BC), she is sweet, easy going and very
friendly. She has a great temperament, and is calm in the house but loves
racing around outside. Daisy loves toys and adjusts easily to
new situations. She is good with cats. She is about 45 pounds. Daisy is currently being boarded in Morris Ny, near Glen
Highland Farm. Her guardian lives in NYC and is happy to answer
questions and set up a meeting. Contact Megan Bensley -her email is bensleym@gmail.com
or the farm with questions. We temperament tested Daisy and she passed
everything with flying colors, a really wonderful girl. She is not
great with all dogs however, best with submissive dogs or as the only dog.
We do not know if she can be in an unfenced situation since she is more of
a nose dog than a BC so best to have a fenced yard. Daisy has been
boarded for four years so will need time to settle back into a home
setting with a patient person.

We
are looking for a great home for our beautiful, energetic mostly border
collie mix. Lacey is 11 months old and she is sweet, spayed,
housebroken and crate trained. She was rescued from a shelter in
Montgomery County in August of this year. We have tried to train her (we
really don't know what we are doing, especially with the breed) and have
somewhat failed her. The shelter had misled us and now we are attempting
to place Lacey in an appropriate home for her. Lacey needs a place to run
and where she can put her high intelligance to good use (possibly as an
agility dog?). We don't think she was taught to play before she came
to us so it has been a treat to show her how to have fun. She is eager to
please and is good with older children and adults but we would
not recommend her in a home with youngsters. Lacey
"loves" cats and other dogs has a hard time leaving them alone
and wants to play all the time.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at laceylovey66@yahoo.com.

OREO

border collie mix.
She has lived with one family with two children since she was born. She
has been raised with a cat, but spends lots of time playfully chasing her
away. She loves playing fetch, taking walks, being petted, and sleeping on
beds and sofas. She needs a new home to handle her
energy and play needs.

Emma She is a high energy dog, SUPER cuddly and lovable. She LOVES the water, the ocean, and any type of play with water - she even LOVES bath time!! (She sometimes drinks water while I am bathing her). |

I adopted Emma from a Rescue myself, and I absolutely adore and love her. I am moving to NYC, and I am afraid of her not being able to get another space and exercise for her type of breed. I am moving because I have to take a job that was offered to me, and I could not pass up (especially in this economy). My LAST thing I wanted to do was to have to give Emma up, as she is my child, but I also need to be able to further my career and have income to support myself first. I know Emma will be wonderful in a place that has a yard, and room for her to run around - as that is what she is used to, and what she has had her whole life.

Say
"Hello" to Molly! I’m a female Border Collie mix,
about three years old. I was with my family for around a year and a half.
Before that, the other family who had me was mean to me. So I’m a little
shy when I first meet people. But I’d never hurt anyone. I just need to
know you don’t mean me any harm. Then, I’ll sit by you, put my head on
your knee, and snuggle for as long as you want me to. I weigh 55lbs.
and I have a thick, fluffy coat that’s silky and shiny and snuggly as a
teddy bear’s. I live peacefully with cats and even love little Bruno the
Min-Pin. But I confess, I just can’t get along with pushy female dogs
who won’t show me respect.

My
name is Biscuit and I am around 7 years old. I don't know
my birth date for sure because I was adopted from a
shelter in Philadelphia about 6 years ago. They thought I was around 1
year old at the time. I am a big beautiful boy who has the
handsome good looks of a border collie (Lucky me!) but I am bigger
then your average BC, my body looks like a golden retriever (they're
nice too!). I have lots of energy but that would get better if I had a
place to run and play. You see I love to play with a tennis ball but I
live in a townhouse and we don't have a yard. Plus, our neighbors are
grumpy and they don't like dogs so my mom only lets me out to go potty
and then it's right back in. I don't get to have any fun.
I live with another dog, much littler then me and we get along fine
but when I meet new dogs I get really excited and it sometimes scares
them. My mom says she needs to find me a place where I can go for
walks and play in a yard. She can't walk me cause she was in a car
accident a while ago. I am pretty strong and am enthusiastic when I
walk (what do you expect I want to GO!). If I had more time to
explore and maybe got to go to a class or two I am sure I would be an
excellent student. I am really good in the house cause that
is where I spend most of my time! My mom does love me but she
knows another place would be better for me.

We are looking for a great home for our australian blue heeler/border collie cross. Ruby was 1 year on Dec. 2. Ruby is spayed and up to date on all her vaccinations. She is completely housebroken, and crate trained and prefers to sleep in her crate at night. She would make a great agility or herding trial dog, does really well around horses and other dogs. She free roams our property but does not stray from eyesight and comes energetically when called. She is a very fast learner and loves new challenges. She loves to accompany us in the car and will wait quietly while you run quick errands. She runs alongside on both horseback rides through the woods and zips around the property on the quad. Ruby is a good family dog, she is playful,and great with older kids. However she does not do well with very small children. She is a best friend waiting to happen and deserves a home where she can achieve her amazing potential. |
| Please consider bringing this dog into your forever family, she is truly amazing. She is located in Back Mountain, near Wilkes Barre PA Contact Molly at 570 696 4867 | |

My wife and I rescued Oreo in
December of 2010. He was rescued from a woman who claimed she could not
afford to care for him. Oreo is fully up to date with all shots.
All care was provided by the Pet Hospital of Stratford and we have all
records to prove it. Oreo has NOT been neutered. This is a highly energetic dog. Unfortunately, my wife and I can no longer care for this dog. We both work a lot of hours and are unable to dedicate sufficient time to Oreo that he deserves. We also have a 3 ½ year old Chihuahua that does not get along well with Oreo. He is extremely playful, likes other dogs and is good with children. Oreo is trained to go to the bathroom outside of the house. He is approximately 40 lbs. and we can assume he is fully grown at this point in time. You may contact me with any questions - Daniel Betancourt mrdbetancourt@gmail.com |

Billy is a 7 year old Border
Collie mix. He is a total sweetheart and loves to meet new people.
He likes to be outside and go for walks, but would be just as happy to sit
by you and be petted. He is good with other dogs but might be happier as a
single dog since he does not fight for attention and tends to just back up
and let other dogs get the attention. He is fully house trained and knows
his commands. I have had billy since he was 7months old and he has been a
great dog. Recently my husband and I have moved to a condo where he does
not have a yard to run in so he doesn't get the exercise he needs. Also we
are expecting our first child so I am not able to take him on walks and
give him the attention he needs. I would love to keep him but I also want
to do what is best for him and being stuck in the house all day is not it.
He would love to find a new family where he could have a yard to run in or
someone who would take him on long walks and give him lots of attention

Name: Brett History: She was found running along a highway in North Carolina, a good Samaritan stopped and she happily climbed into her truck and slept all the way back to her home! BRETT is our resident border collie mix - which means "she's a very smart girl" - approx 5 yrs old, so is more laid back, but also confident and very connected to people. She is happy to meet anyone, is sweet as they come, and although she gets along with other dogs, she much prefers the company of humans. She is a dog that could go everywhere - as long has her person is with her - she's always ready to take a stroll or go on an adventure. Brett is also a couch cuddler, happy to enjoy the leisurely life if that's preferred by her person. She is anxiously waiting to find her home. Typically, we like to adopt our blind dogs into homes that have sighted dogs - they have a sighted companion and depend on their new friends to help them around the world. Brett would PREFER NOT to have canine companions. She is a very confident blind dog, finding their own way, and CRAVING HUMAN companionship. If you have room in your heart, or know someone looking for a fabulous new friend - please consider meeting Brett. Brett is in Maryland - at Pets with Disabilities Contact Joyce at petswithdisabilities@comcast.net |

Dexter is a 3
year old BC/Lab mix who loves other dogs and Frisbees! He is full of
energy and would be best placed in a situation where he could have a
“job” to do and with someone who understands BC and can model as an
alpha male. He is a high jumper and could easily be trained for
agility competition. Dexter is best around adults and is sometimes
nervous when meeting new people. He is extremely loyal and loving
(and licking!) once he knows you and is always looking for someone to play
with him. He is about 60 lbs and is in excellent health.
Dexter is in Maryland - contact Mindy email ms@highertalentinc.com for more information |
