VOLUNTEER NEEDED FOR THE 2012 KIDS CAMP!!

KIDS CAMP COOK NEEDED!

If you love Border Collies and love kids, then you can help both at Camp Border Collie for Kids this summer. 

We're looking for a cook in Camp #2 - Aug 1st - 12th!! You'd be making nutritious meals for approximately 24 people - the inner city children and our volunteer teachers. Cooking can be challenging since it's over an open fire but it's simple meals that taste delicious outdoors like barbecued chicken; mashed potatoes; corn and mornings are bacon; eggs; pancakes....basic healthy meals!  The cook makes 10 breakfasts and dinners, no lunches. Mid-day is for shopping and planning. The volunteer staff helps with serving and cleaning.  

You may bring your own dog if they can mix with the other dogs on site easily. Lodging is a private RV so you can kick back to enjoy the Farm, too. 

Please contact John at andersenjw@msn.com

Camp Border Collie for Kids



Here's what past cooks had to say:

"When I volunteered to cook for Kid's Camp 2 years ago I was told it would "change my life" by John & Lillie.  While I have been told that many times by many people, this is the one of the very few experiences I have had that truly lived up to the promise.  I thank Lillie & John for that but also I thank the counselors, the other volunteers and the staff for giving me the opportunity to help make a difference in the lives of the kids who attend, and the dogs that become more adoptable because of it.  It's hard work but most worthwhile things in life are." 

"For me it was the combination of; their genuine appreciation for what you put before them at every meal, the heart felt personal connections you make with the children, and the beauty of the camp environment.  I was witness to some powerful stuff.  During those 2 weeks, what happens between the children and their 4 legged friends is Magic.  The whole experience was like a tune-up for my soul.  It will give you perspective and will make you think about what you take for granted and about what you think is important in life and what isn't."


WE'D LOVE YOUR HELP!

GHF is expanding the foster program and looking for additional homes within TWO hours of the Farm who are willing to care for a dog. (All vetting is handled by the Farm)  Foster dogs could be young or old and may require a long-term stay up to 9 months, depending on the dog. Fencing is required and children must be over the age 
of 7, no exceptions.

Please submit a foster application if you are interested. Click here


DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

SNAPSHOT: TWO YEARS AND UNDER - PUREBRED BORDER COLLIES  

These border collies need a very active, committed home with guardians  who truly understand the complexity, intensity and demands of the  breed. They usually do best with another young border collie though it  depends on dog chemistry. They require companionship and will not do  well left alone more than 3-4 hours a day




A very special thanks to Ashley Porter who helped these pups find GHF and lives that fit them properly!
FLY: 8 week old FLY found a life that is completely right for him...plenty of canine buddies and sports - he is going to do agility and enjoy lots of mental and physical stimulation in his new home! This little furball needs that and more! An amazing pup, he arrived at the Farm in time to meet his new guardians and wowed them with his confidence and ability to just join in anything and everything - he was fearless. A little boy ready to tug on any toy and play with any dog and say hello to any person - he was ready to go!! So, off FLY went to a new life in NJ where he's about to be stimulated and challenged! He came from VT where he and three recent BC pups came to rescue, were being sold outside in a petsmart parking lot. All great pups, part of an accidental liter where their guardian needed to find them homes fast cause she and her female BC were off to work, on her truck route. An amazing story for sure but what wonderful pups found their way to GHF and new lives!

Hope's Angels
Sara & Chris Lehner & Hobbes
HOPE: A 7 month old Border Collie, Hope is a smart, lively, focused girl who is looking for a place to use her mind and body together. She loves toys and jumps into playing with anything and everything. It would be easy to teach her all kinds of things, including sports since she's got an agile body and can easily focus. She is also a sweet, cuddly girl, too and loves to sit on the top of the couch like a cat, all curled up, watching the world go by. Hope is a classic young BC who really needs a BC savvy home. Hope does best as a solo dog since she's a strong girl She is smart and benefits from direction and being challenged. She is about 30 pounds and fine with cats. Hope was in a Massachusetts shelter.

Phoebe's Angels
in memory of Andrew Slyter, from John and Marta Aberg
PHOEBE: A petite 6 month old Border Collie/Aussie, Phoebe is the sweetest thing. She is a bit timid but so wants to be with her person that when she warms up, she's a cuddly girl, happy as can be. Phoebe likes to play with other dogs so we will place her with a more confident dog to help her blossom more easily. She is built more like a lean BC than a wider, bigger aussie. She is focused and curious but not overly hyper or intense like most BC's. She is about 35 pounds and good with cats. Phoebe came to the Farm with her sister, Sasha, from an accidental litter. Her PA guardian wanted her to have the best chance at a great life! 

 Thanks to Kristen Holeck and her family for fostering Phoebe in NY

Peak's Angels
Paul & Karyn Deagle & Speck!
PEAK: An 9 month old Border Collie, Peak is a classic, fun-lovin' boy who wants to play, play, play. He is very smart and observes everything going on around him, ready to join in the action. Peak loves to cuddle and likes everyone he meets. He is an adorable, joyful BC.  He's also great off leash and loves to hike, staying right by your side.   He will however, require a BC savvy guardian and a more rural setting where he can have an outlet for his energy.  He bonds very quickly with someone who understands him. Peak is about 30 pounds and not good with cats. He was relinquished directly to the Farm from NYC because the city setting was not ideal for him.



POLO found the right guardians who knew the minute they saw him -he was the boy they wanted! His incredible brilliance and handsome looks really struck them! Polo will have a fabulous life as the constant companion to his new FurDad who will take him to work on all his jobs. Their last dog, GHF alum Molly, won everyone's hearts and they have been asking... where is your new dog? So, Polo has big paws to fill and we're sure he'll do it beautifully. Polo even has a home with a pond which he'll love since he's a water boy! He now lives in CT. Of course, he was in a hurry to go for the frisbee so his adoption picture needs a supplemental look at this gorgeous boy today!

POLO: A petite 1 1/2 yr old Border Collie, Polo is very smart, very focused and eager to bond with a person. He is people oriented first, then ready to do whatever is asked of him! He loves to learn and loves to run so would be a great hiking partner and fun for someone who wanted to teach him tricks or games. Polo is very athletic and can monkey over a five foot fence to visit dogs or follow his person so, he'll do best on an invisible fence. Polo is also a water boy, loving to play and swim endlessly. He's a big toy dog too and loves the challenge of anything new. He will chase cats so best with dog savvy cats. He is about 30 pounds.

Kima's Angel
Rene Douglas in Memory of Lena & her Daddy, Shane

KIMA:  A petite 1 year old Border Collie, Kima is sweet girl who's trying to make sense of how her new life works now that she's in a home setting  with people who care about her. She certainly knows how to interact well with the dogs cause she loves to play. In fact, she's a rough player who really wrestles and plays chase games so would love a canine friend who enjoys that, too. She also loves to herd the other dogs in the house, happily using that BC mind!  Kima is taking longer to get comfortable with people which is perfectly normal due to her past. She lived with 167 Border Collies in a breeding situation in Texas so needs a very patient person to help her gain more trust about what people can mean in her new world.  She is now starting to come up to her fosterer for attention and will cock her head when she hears her name but she's not too comfortable yet with being touched.  She loves to hear she's a 'pretty girl', getting all excited with the attention and she's also starting to shadow her fosterers going wherever they go in the house. So, Kima will get there - it's just going to take time and lots of patient guidance. Kima is best with dog savvy cats since she herds them and is fascinated by what they are doing. She is only 35 pounds.

  Special thanks to fosterers Dan Gonyea & Kara Kennedy for opening their home to foster Kima. She is in upstate NY.

NALA: A 1 year old Border Collie mix, Nala is a sweet girl, super friendly and eager to say hello to everyone. She is not overly intense but she is young and active. She loves to stretch her legs and run so would do best with larger space to do so. She also loves to swim and run at the beach. She can have a canine friend, ideally a submissive male dog. Like most girls, Nala can be bossy but does love to wrestle and race and chase and she is a very physical player. Nala is smart and focused on her person and is a great companion. She is about 50 pounds and is good with cats. Nala was at a NY shelter since the home wasn't right for her. She was living in an apartment, crated all day.

Flip's Angels
the Van Slyke family

FLIP: A 1 1/2 yr old Border Collie mix, Flip is all about having fun!  He loves to play with other dogs, a real racer and chaser.  He is not high energy but he is young and active so likes a good run. Flip loves his toys and frisbee but can also settle in easily at home on the couch by your side. This sweet guy is like your shadow and loves attention. He's an easy boy to take along for car rides, too. He will do well with someone who understands his 'big puppy nature' and how he likes to be challenged mentally and physically. Flip can be nervous meeting new people so needs an active adult home with another canine friend and a skilled dog person as his guardian.  Flip is about 40 pounds and good with cats. He was a stray in NY shelter 

See Flip enjoying an agility run!!  FUN, FUN, FUN




OLLY found a wonderful couple who think of their dogs as their kids so knew they could offer Olly a great life. He loves being the center of attention and that he will be, along with his BC Buddy, Scout. Lots of hikes and ball play for both these boys cause their FurMom and FurDad know exactly what every BC needs - lots to do! He now lives in Ct.

OLLY: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, Olly is a sweet, gentle boy who loves to play! He plays with other dogs and toys, happy to enjoy the fun of any activity. Olly is very responsive to people and bonds quickly, happy to be with his person. He is smart and energetic though not overly intense as many young BC's. He is a really happy dog, a delight to be with and an affectionate boy, too. He is about 40 pounds and good with cats. Olly was surrendered to the farm due to financial issues forcing a move. He lived in one home since a pup, from NY. Ollie is a wonderful dog with the adoptive family but needs a quieter household with less strangers coming. 




Sweet HAYDON found a fabulous life suited perfectly to him...as the constant companion to his new FurMoms and living on a 74 acre farm to call his own. Haydon loves keeping track of all that goes on so he'll take this job to heart, joining his canine companions! Lots of fun ahead exploring and hiking and of course, most importantly, to Haydon, cuddling! This little lover won his new guardian's hearts with his incredible sweetness. Haydon now lives in NY.

HAYDON: A 1 year old Border Collie, Haydon is a delight. He's smart and sweet and gentle plus of course, full of energy! He wants to play, play, play. Like any young BC, he needs an outlet for his mind and body and in exchange, he'll give you his heart. This lover boy is a cuddler, loving to be with his person and then springs into action, for fun and play. He is great with other dogs and would love a BC friend. Haydon lived with a female BC but the guardians felt two young BC's were too much so he was relinquished to the Farm. He is fine with cats and about 35 pounds. Haydon is a good natured, curious boy who will easily enjoy a BC savvy home. He came to the Farm from PA.

Bart's Angels
Michael & Katherine Ziemke
BART: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie mix, Bart loves to play with other dogs and he's a rough and tumble player. He loves to run and play all the time so definitely needs a canine friend or two who are the same way.  Bart is also a lap dog, happy to give kisses, and hop on your lap to cuddle.  Bart does best with consistent routine so will do best in an adult home that provides leadership.  He is a young dog and needs confidence building with strangers  which has been going beautifully in his foster home. Bart is smart, learns quickly and loves to do well. He is best with no cats. Bart is trained on the invisible fence system.  He's now in the York PA area. He was a stray in the local shelter. He's about 50 pounds

Zan's Angel
Jeanie Burton

ZAN: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, Zan is a petite little girl who really wants to trust that life has good things to offer her. She's been getting braver each day in her foster home and her tail is now wagging with delight seeing people!  Zan has also started to get a bone and bring it in the room where everyone is, enjoying being with people rather than hiding. She also likes to herd the other BC's in the house so would be happy with another BC friend for sure which helps her be more relaxed.  Zan has no interest in toys yet but sure loves to look out the window to see what's going on, a very observant little girl.  Zan is one of the 167 dogs confiscated from a Texas 'breeder' so she needs a supportive guardian that can help her build greater trust.  She is about 35 pounds and is fascinated with cats but won't hurt them - she loves watching them.

This sweet, gentle girl will need time to grow further as a companion Border Collie but she's interested in doing that with someone special.

  Special thanks Pat & Tim Toomey for helping Zan in NJ


DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

SNAPSHOT: OVER TWO YEARS - PUREBRED BORDER COLLIES

These border collies are active and still require similar situations as young pups but once three and up, they can settle more easily and are less demanding so can usually make the best choice for homes with intermediate activity levels.  They are usually obedient, understand what is expected and want a strong human connection in order to be happy. They also require companionship and will not do well left alo
ne more than 6 hours a day.



Sweet, gentle SCOUT found exactly the right family to care for her, with love and devotion. They came to meet this sweet girl based on her bio and pictures and soon as they spent minutes with her, it was clear she was going home with them! She won their hearts with her sweetness and that BC stalking as she got to experience their little dog, Geraldine. Scout was a perfect lady with just a little bit of herding and then lots of love for her new family! She now lives in NJ.

SCOUT: A 2 year old Border Collie, Scout is not only a gorgeous girl, she is a sweetheart. She is friendly and easy going meeting people. She can be a little timid but does want to say hi so overcomes that worry with some encouragement and then she is a love-bug, covering your with kisses. Scout is s sensitive BC so will do best with an adult home without a lot of chaos. She is a thinker so does best with someone who understands how a BC experiences the world. Once settled, she is just marvelous. She's gorgeous when she starts running in a field, happy to dash around and loves to explore. She is not a toy dog but more people focused so is a wonderful companion, not high energy but with the energy to join you in what you are doing. Scout is about 30 pounds and good with cats though can chase for fun so best with dog savvy cats. She has lived with NY guardians for the last year. She was found running on Interstate 81, dodging cars. Fortunately, they stopped. She was very thin and had porcupine quills in her mouth. Those days are over when she joined their home. However, toddlers are just too much for her so Scout was relinquished to the Farm to find a more appropriate home.

Ramsey's Angels
From Janine, Jill and Hanlon, in memory of Jessie Austrian and Noah Brody's dog, Lola Austrian-Brody
RAMSEY: A 2 year old Border Collie, Ramsey is a friendly, good-natured guy who likes to say hello to everyone. He makes friends everywhere. He is super sweet, intelligent and eager to bond with people. He has no real interest in toys at this point but is happy to go wherever his person goes. He loves to play and herd other BC's and depending on the dog, he changes his style.  Some dogs he loves to wrestle with yet others he is a big herder.  He could easily have a BC friend or possibly be a solo dog but would need an active home. Ramsey settles beautifully as a companion BC and would love a life with someone around a lot. He is very affectionate.  He would be happiest with a large space to run since he can really cover territory when he runs.  He is about 45 pounds and is good with cats. Ramsey was living on a Farm Delaware and landed in the shelter after the guardians didn't want to manage his needs. He did not do well with the horses there.

Requires a fenced yard


Special thanks to Kierston Anderson for getting Ramsey to safety

Sully's Angel
Ulfras Floyd in honor of Genie

SULLY: A 2 year old Border Collie, Sully is a smart boy who enjoys the action around him, especially playing with another young BC. Sully is fast, focused and quite the wrestler and chaser, having a blast running around. He is also a sweet, friendly, loving guy who really enjoys being with his person. He's very responsive to what is asked of him and eager to please. He'll do best with a dog savvy guardian who really understands the mental challenge of having a very intelligent BC and can provide for what Sully needs. He is good natured and would love fitting into a home that understands his needs. Sully is about 45 pounds and is good with cats. He came to the Farm from upstate NY.

Echo's Angel
Erica
Snyder
ECHO: A petite 2 yr old Border Collie, Echo is learning that life is an adventure - of trying new things and being rewarded with great food for being so brave! So, this little girl is doing well, day by day and now happily barks and wags to say hello whenever her Fosterers come home. She follows them around the house, curious to see what's next in her day of new things. Sometimes, she still needs to retreat to her safe space in her open crate, when things scare her, but with some guidance, she'll bravely come back out again. Echo is pretty easy to live with, happy to entertain herself with toys or just hang with her person. She loves to get into her toy box, digging for the things in the bottom and then tossing them into the air for play. Her Foster Mom says she does the 'Echo Bounce' bounding out of the house in the morning, leaping with joy, then running happy laps around the yard with her 'giant happy face' and all body parts wiggling in all directions. She clearly has found life to be very very fun.  Echo still has many fears and will need a patient calm guardian to keep building her trust so she can experience more of life. However, she's happiest with the routine of her home, her yard and won't need a big life going lots of places with lots of people.  Echo was part of a large confiscation of 167 BC's from a Texas 'breeder'.  She is about 30 pounds and not good with cats. With her timidity, she'll do best with one other canine friend to help show her the way.

Special thanks to Carol Bradford & Rob Bernstein

Lara's Angel
Quill Meyers
LARA: A 2 year old Border Collie, Lara is very, very intelligent and is happiest learning new things. She is also very high energy and loves an outlet that combines her mind and her body. A sweet girl, she loves to hang with her person and bonds quickly to someone who understands her. Lara also loves to play with other dogs and is a rough and tumble, chaser and wrestler. Since Lara is a thinker when it comes to people, she worries with meeting strangers so needs BC savvy guardians who can handle appropriate introductions with new people. She has done beautifully with our training team and now has the foundation for enjoying new people more easily.  Lara will only be placed with skilled BC adopters and she will need an activity to stimulate her, like agility, freestyle, hiking, something where she has a clear outlet for her energy and mental needs.  She is a more petite BC and will herd cats so best with dog savvy cats. Lara was dumped at Best Friends Animal Society in Utah and was flown to GHF.

  Special thanks to Sue Vitro for fostering Lara, in upstate NY.

Gregg Ruff & Jodi Adelsohn-Ruff: In Honor of Skid
Pamela Whitlock: In Honor of Jack
Phyllis Granoff
Melinda Lee, In honor of Boo & Flurry
NICK: This gorgeous 2 yr old boy has a fabulous personality, a real people oriented Border Collie/Aussie mix.  He is super friendly, eager to say hello and ready to run, run, run.  He is loving the other BC friends, racing and chasing. Nick has just come off a long hospital stay so we'll give him a couple days to unwind and then update his bio.  He has a great nature and was a bit hit with everyone at the vet.  He is 56 pounds and a bit bigger structure than the average BC.  Nick was aptly named after St. Nicholas because it was Christmas Eve when volunteers kindly stepped in to transport him from the Long Island shelter where he was abandonedNick is very curious about cats and since he's a big boy, his enthusiasm can be intimidating for a cat so probably best with dog savvy cats.

Special thanks to Lisa Parker, Donna Deal and Nancy Frakes who got him to GHF.
Brady's Angels
Lynn & Larry Adelsohn
BRADY: A 2 year old Border Collie, Brady is a gorgeous guy who loves toys and LOVES to run. He is having a blast enjoying his freedom at the Farm. Brady is a soft BC, very gentle and good natured. He does best with easy going BC's who don't overpower him and he would love a friend. He also loves toys, very eager to connect and play.  Brady has not had a lot of exposure to normal life situations so will need a patient person to guide him through new things since he gets stressed easily. We are starting training with him now. He is going to blossom here quickly as he realizes a person will help him. His pictures make him look large but he is not, only 40 pounds and he is best with dog savvy cats since he sometimes herds them. Brady came to GHF with Spirit, both chained outside. Their NY guardian felt it was not a good life for them so gave them to the Farm.  Brady has worries around strangers and can be very sound sensitive so needs a patient guardian and a confident dog to lead the way. He requires a hard fence.

 Thanks to Kara and Dan Kennedy for fostering Brady in upstate NY.


SPIRIT found a wonderful couple who really understand herding dogs and those with special needs like Spirit. However, they always feel that these are the BC's that have so much to give that it's them, who benefit the most. Spirit spent the night with his new FurMom and FurDad as well as his BC buddy, Hershel and it went beautifully. He relaxed and played and cuddled, clearly a great fit for all. Sweet Spirit has so much to give and will surely learn more with the love about to be given to him. He now lives in Delaware. 

A special thanks to Ron Fazar who helped get Spirit started on the track of understanding how great life can be!

SPIRIT: A 2 year old Border Collie, Spirit is gorgeous and incredibly sweet, a very gentle BC.  He is not high energy but is enjoying the freedom of running that he finally has now so would love space to move and explore. He would also enjoy a BC friend.  Spirit is unclear what normal life is all about and how he is supposed to respond so will need some time to learn.  He came to GHF with another 2 year old, Brady, both chained out 24/7 without a lot of human involvement. He loves toys and will surely blossom. Spirit is deaf so will be trained properly so he can easily manage a new life.  He is 40 pounds and best with dog savvy cats.  He will do best with a hard fence.  He came from a NY guardian.

Wyler's Angels
Bob & Pat Maier & GHF alum Lacie
WYLER: A 3 year old Border Collie, Wyler is a gorgeous guy who is likely to be your shadow wherever you move. He really wants to be with a person but is a little unsure if everything is ok cause he's a very shy BC. With another BC friend, he then comes to life, herding and watching everything going on around him. Or, bring out his toys and he LOVES to play, especially with the jolly ball!  He'll need a quieter home where everyone is patient as Wyler takes chances to come out of his shell for attention.  Wyler does get spooked by strangers and can panic to flee so will need a hard fence. He loves to retrieve any ball - soccer or tennis balls - and loves to herd other BC's.  He is very very loving with his person and likes being near.  He walks well on a leash and rides well in the car but would not be a good candidate for a chaotic, suburban setting.   He is about 45 pounds and is good with cats. He was a stray in PA. We feel a hard fence would be better than an invisible fence since this Wyler is a soft dog. An adult home is best for him since clear direction and guidance is important.

Kye's Angels
Lynn & Larry Adelsohn - 2011
Denise Otten - 2012

KYE: A 3 year old Border Collie, Kye is all about loving people and having fun. He has a great nature and is quite the charmer meeting everyone. We chuckle cause Kye does his little dance of excitement when he is ready to play, back and forth bouncing around, like a champion boxer in the ring.  His head tilts as you talk to him, as he tries so intently to understand what you want...quite a character! Kye loves attention and connection with people more than toys and will happily hang with you or enjoy being outside exploring.  He is smart and eager to connect, and learns things very quickly.  He'd be happiest as a solo dog since he enjoys people so much. The only other thing Kye loves more though is water! He is a crazy splasher and will entertain himself endlessly in a tub.  Of course, he loves walking on the trails and into the creek too, a real outdoor boy.  Kye's health challenges are behind him and he is strong, happy and as healthy as he can be and loves life!  The only limitation is due to a muscular weakness in his back legs which will limit him from excessive racing around but he's just fine in a yard racing around for shorter periods. Kye would love being with someone who he can hang with and then explore the yard, watching the squirrels and birds and relaxing in the sun.  Kye is best without cats.

This brave, trusting BC is really thriving in a new life of love and attention and fun.  She is ready to take that next step into a home. Cela will only be placed with another playful BC and someone who is patient.
Cela's Angels
Cathy & Steve Bouck
For my wonderful wife, Lisa from Joe

CELA:  A 3 year old Border Collie, Cela has a nickname in her foster home - "the happy girl" - cause she is always happy to see someone and does her 'happy dance' wiggling with tail wagging.  She wants attention from people and is curious about everything. She does need the help of BC friends around so she can more easily trust people and if someone has a treat to give her, she's even more eager to say hello.  Cela is doing well off leash now and will come to 'cookies' so she is very food motivated which goes a long way to help her with any fears.  She also loves toys, collecting as many as she can in her crate, to call her own.  Cela is one of the 167 dogs confiscated from a Texas 'breeder' so needs a supportive guardian that will help her continue to grow and trust.  She likes to be touched but she can't be rushed and just needs reassurance with food or dogs, that it's safe.  Cela absolutely loves to play with another dog so will thrive with a young BC friend.  She is about 40 pounds and is good with cats.

Special thanks to Lisa Newell for helping Cela in VT

Doree's Angel
Ulfras Floyd in honor of Genie  

DOREE: A petite 4 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Doree is a super smart girl who really loves to use her mind and will outsmart you if you are not up to the task of challenging her! She is brilliant. She loves balls and toys of any kind and will thrive in a situation with someone who enjoys teaching her all kinds of things, besides just playing ball. That is simple stuff for this smart BC. She's just learned about the frisbee and is so eager to try anything, a complete natural - focused and agile. She is also very sweet though she has a work ethic that makes her curious, observant and eager to see what's next. She'll do really well with a BC savvy guardian who love the bond that is so special with this breed who meet you mentally, physically and emotionally, all at once. Doree is best with dog savvy cats since she'll chase. She is trained on the invisible fence system. She is about 35 pounds. She was relinquished to the Farm from PA guardians who had a baby in the house and not as much time for Doree 

Requires a fenced yard



Special thanks to MaryBeth Powers for helping Doree find safety at the Farm

DYLAN: A 4 1/2 year old Border Collie, Dylan is brilliant. He aims to please and loves being with people. He's a cuddle bug but he also loves flyball. He runs 4-4.2 as a start dog (for those who know about the sport.) Otherwise, Dylan is a great friend and enjoys a life where he is involved actively. He is very keen to be with you. He is good with female dogs but not so with males so best in a home as the solo dog or with females. He is trained on the invisible fence. Dylan is about 40 pounds. He is good with cats. He is presently in his home in Monroe NY. Dylan was adopted from GHF in 2008 to a home where lived all these years until the daughter brought in a mixed breed puppy which causes issues between the two male dogs.

CLIPPER: A 4 1/2 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Clipper is a doll. He's all about playing, playing, playing. The ball is his favorite toy of choice and he'll join in to retrieve anytime. Clipper does a funny little tap dance in excitement waiting for playtime to begin, quite the character. He is very friendly and affectionate, wanting to meet anyone who comes nearby. This good natured boy also likes other dogs and is good with cats, just curious. Clipper is 40 pounds and trained on the invisible fence.

Abby's Angels
Betsy & Odie Schaefer, GHF alums
ABBY: A 5 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Abby is wonderful. She is smart, sweet, focused and loves interacting with her person. She bonds instantly and wants to be involved with a person who understands her. Abby is a classic Border Collie with lots of interest in toys and loves to learn. She is a strong girl so best as a solo dog since she will herd another dog in a very typical female fashion, controlling the other dog. She is super responsive to pleasing her person and what we consider a 'soft dog' but she's also smart as a whip. Abby is about 35 pounds and not good with cats. She was given up from a PA guardian who could not meet her needs. Abby is camera shy so our pictures don't show her gorgeous markings and personality as well as in person. 

Special thanks to LuAnn Heller, Sue Myers and Tony and Debbie Grassi for helping Abby get safely to the Farm

Loren's Angel
Carolyn Dumaresq
LOREN:  A petite 5 year old Border Collie, Loren is a beauty, so gorgeous with sweet eyes. She's a little thing and can easily squeeze into a small space to watch the world go by but she's curious, too.  Loren will come out to watch other dogs in her foster home, keeping track of what they are doing as well as herding them a bit but she tends to retreat back into her safe spot in the house, either a crate or somewhere else that feels comfortable.  She is one of the 167 dogs confiscated from a Texas 'breeder' so has a long way to go to trust that home life is completely ok.  Loren is doing great in taking the baby steps like walking well on a leash and playing with toys, learning to enjoy them by herself. She's also discovered that belly rubs feel good! She will require a very patient guardian who wants a sweet companion to enjoy their yard and their home, not a big life going lots of places.  Loren has traveled on vacation with her fosterers but it isn't something she needs to do all the time since her life makes more sense being in her home.  She does love traveling in the car though and likes to check out what's going on.  Loren is about 30 pounds and not yet tested on cats.
This curious little BC deserves a life that is full of love and simple expectations.  She will only be placed in an adult home with another BC or two.

She is currently being fostered in Pittsburgh PA.  Special thanks to Andy and Ellen Simcik for helping Loren understand life.

Robbie's Angel
In Memory of Princess Dee Dee, the wonderful Briard
ROBBIE: A 5 year old Border Collie, Robbie is a smiler! He loves life and wants to be in the middle of the fun, wherever it is! He is funny and sweet and eager to say hello to everyone. Robbie loves people and affection but does have a sensitive side and needs to gain a person's trust before he can show off his wonderful personality. At first, he is very  nervous and will need a positive approach to showing him that he is safe with someone new. He will only be placed with a skilled BC person.  He likes to race and play with other dogs, doing best with female BC's.  He is about 45 pounds and good with cats. Robbie came with 6 other BC's from an Ohio rescuer who became ill and gave all the dogs to GHF.

Special thanks to Jane Locacio and Ann Gardner who dropped everything to travel to get the 7 Ohio dogs to the Farm.

Fletch's Angel
In Memory of Princess Dee Dee, the wonderful Briard
FLETCH: A 5 year old Border Collie, Fletch loves to race around and check out anything going on with the dogs and people. He is a sweet, affectionate boy who would love one-on-one attention where he could be special to them. Fletch really blossoms when he has time with a person - quite the cuddler. He is smart, good natured and energetic though not overly intense. Fletch can become nervous meeting new people but with encouragement and time, he lets his worries go.  Fletch loves toys of any kind and is wonderful to watch him entertain himself or play with someone!   He has lots of energy so will need an active home that understands the breed.  Fletch is about 40 pounds and best with dog savvy cats. He was relinquished to the Farm from an Ohio rescuer who became ill, giving up 7 dogs to GHF.

Bridget's Angels
From Jane Jackson & Nell In Honor of Mary Cuccaro & her sweet girl Mia 

BRIDGET: A 5 year old Border Collie, Bridget is a very smart, observant girl. She watches everything around her, thinking things through and then decides what to do. She is sensitive and shy with new people in new situations since she's had a lot of freedom to be outside 'working' on her own. She'll do best with a very BC savvy person who understands just how intelligent she is and can give her new challenges and build a close relationship. She loves her ball and frisbee and will blossom with a one-on-one companion oriented guardian. Bridget is about 55 pounds and good with cats. She lived in NY and was relinquished to the Farm to find a more appropriate life for her. 

A WONDERFUL DUO!

We've had time to really see these two together now and they are fabulous, absolutely buddies! So, Bay and Dinah will only go to a home as a pair. They are both great off leash and can go to an unfenced property that is rural. These girls love to race and run and play together! 

Dinah & Bay will be adopted together




Special thanks to Jane Locacio and Ann Gardner who dropped everything to travel to get the 7 Ohio dogs to the Farm.
Dinah's Angel
In Memory of Princess Dee Dee, the wonderful Briard
DINAH: A petite 5 1/2 year old Border Collie, Dinah is a funny girl who gets so excited, bouncing around, trying to figure out what the action is all about! She's an adorable, friendly little BC who would love to be challenged and learn new things. She can be timid at first so needs a patient person to gain her trust and help her feel confident. Once she trusts you, her real BC nature comes out. She has no real interest in toys yet but loves to go wherever you go, happy to race along. She gets along beautifully with her BC friend, Bay, but could also be a solo dog. Dinah will do best in a calmer adult home where she can jump into new things with some help. She's a lively character who will blossom beautifully. Dinah is about 30 pounds and best with dog savvy cats. Her previous guardian was an Ohio rescuer who became ill and gave up the dogs to GHF.


Bay's Angel
In Memory of Princess Dee Dee, the wonderful Briard
BAY: A petite 7 year old Border Collie, Bay is a sweetheart. She's gentle and easy going, quietly coming over to say hello and loving attention. She can be a bit shy but is really a friendly, curious girl who loves people. She's like your shadow once she knows you love her! Bay is very affectionate, more of a companion oriented BC. She hasn't had much experience with toys so is happy to just enjoy by your side. She enjoys the other BC's, especially her best buddy, Dinah, so could easily live with her. She could also enjoy being a solo dog, with the right person in a a calmer home, not chaotic. Once Bay trusts you, she is the happiest girl around. She is about 35 pounds and good with cats. Her previous guardian rescued BC's in Ohio and became ill. 

Special thanks to Jane Locacio and Ann Gardner who dropped everything to travel to get the 7 Ohio dogs to the Farm.

DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 

SNAPSHOT: SIX YEARS AND UP - PUREBRED BORDER COLLIES

These border collies are active, playful, eager to be with people and generally very focused on affection rather than toys. They do not have an intense need to work so make wonderful companions for homes who want a brilliant, intuitive dog who bonds instantly but also knows how to relax. They thrive with companionship and will not do well left alone for more than 6 hours a day. Sometimes at this age, a dog who has previously lived alone his whole life prefers to be a solo dog and really enjoys the spotlight.

**Many people overlook this age range because they fear the dog will die before they have had a long life together. The facts are reassuring - most border collies live to 12 - 16 years old and in fact, the oldest dog in the world IS a border collie who is 27, living in England! Odds are, this dog is still working!

Please consider opening your heart and homes to a dog who will really appreciate your love and attention, because YOU are the center of their life.



KINNON found the perfect guardians and life that is exactly what works for him! His new FurMom and FurDad understand the special needs of sensitive dogs and are happy to make life simple and loving for their canine friends. He'll enjoy being their constant companion and have his furbuddy, Ben, to enjoy lots of running and playing. The two of them were wonderful together as they romped and chased and made up herding games - it was adorable to watch! Kinnon will have 115 acres to call his own and get to explore their Farm and join in all the activities with jobs created that suit him well. His new guardians were drawn to him and once they spent time together at the Farm, they knew he was the boy to join their family. He now lives in NY. Kinnon cuddled with his new FurDad and Mom as if they had been his guardians forever, a long, long way from the rough life in Texas!

KINNON: A 6 year old, Kinnon is outgoing and comfortable, happy to say hello to new people. He is really friendly once he knows you and happily wants to be your friend. He is quite the cuddler, loving being really close next to you, too.  Kinnon also loves toys- chasing balls and anything that squeaks -a happy guy eager to play!  Kinnon sometimes needs time when meeting a group of people so working with treats for his introductions, works well. He is very attentive to his person and very, very loving. Kinnon really likes other dogs and would do well with another BC friend or more.  He is also a great walking partner. Kinnon is about 40 pounds and good with cats.  He was part of a large group of dogs confiscated from a Texas 'breeder'.

Kinnon is really ready for his new life and will bond quickly to someone who will enjoy a friendly, good natured companion.  He'll need some guidance with new situations but is curious about life and doing really really well!

Brenner's Angels
in Memory of Hamish
Linda Whitman

BRENNER: A 6 year old Border Collie, Brenner is adorable, a really friendly, happy go lucky guy who lives for a ball throw! He is quite charming and makes you chuckle as he gets that twinkle in his eye waiting for his ball. Brenner is very, very sweet, too, happy to cuddle once he's had enough ball play! He is smart and loves to be with his person, side by side, wherever they go. He is very easy going and settles beautifully inside but once outside, is waiting for that ball toss. He would love leash walks and exploring, too. He is about 40 pounds and is not good with cats. He would be best as a solo dog. Brenner has an eyesight deficiency due to PRA, Progressive Retinal Atrophy, a genetic condition which changes the retinal function.  Over time, this will worsen but there is no way to know the timing. Many BC's with PRA do not loose all of their vision but most have limited vision at night.  At this point, he gets around beautifully.  Brenner was part of a confiscation case in PA.

Blast's Angels
From Peg & Mike Fuller in honor of Kota, George, Ollie, & Stanley 

BLAST:  A 6 year old Border Collie, Blast is smart as a whip.  She knows tons of tricks: sit, down, roll over, shake, back, wait, hugs, kisses and look, plus she absolutely loves to learn whatever you want to teach her.  She is super smart and loves toys of any kind.  She will retrieve anything you toss her way!.  Blast really bonds with her person and blossoms with the attention of being a solo dog, loyal and content to be your companion.  She is incredibly friendly with everyone she meets and able to jump to give you a quick lick on the nose to say hi.  Blast lives up to her name...a blast of energy and a blast of fun and love, too.  Like most female Border Collies, she is the dominant female so it's best for her to have a home without other dogs or with a submissive male.  This is very common with this breed which is why we don't like to place females together. Blast is about 35 pounds and is best with dog savvy cats since she will herd a cat. Blast was adopted two years ago from GHF and returned due to a life change which leaves her alone 10-11 hours a day.

Special thanks Kym Hance and her family for fostering Blast, 
in
upstate NY.

Morgen's Angels
The Greenfield Garden Club - Karen and Wes, Bob and Grace, Jen, Christine and Alan, Jeff and Shane.

MORGEN: A 6 year old Border Collie, Morgen or 'Mo-Mo' as he's affectionately known is quite a character! He is interested in everything going on around him and even learned the 'Peek-a-Mo' game where his foster Mom got him comfortable with her glancing at him so now he knows how to play and makes great eye contact.  He loves his cookies and will come up and enjoy a little rub under the chin rub or ear scratch, too getting braver over time and offers a nudge to get another treat.  But Morgen really comes alive out in the yard when he's entertaining himself playing with toys, adorable to watch. He throws around his favorite balls and as his foster Mom claps her hands, he'll run around looking sooooo happy that his eyes sparkle with mischief.  He loves cheerleading and attention!  When he's done, he tucks his ball in his 'treasure chest' and heads for the door.  He's enjoying car rides and leash walking and even going to pet stores so he's making great progress. Morgen is one of the 167 dogs confiscated from a Texas 'breeder' so while he's  a very smart guy with a curious nature, he's still learning to trust that life is great so needs a patient guardian to keep introducing him to new things at HIS pace. He is best with dog savvy cats since he loves to herd them and is fascinated by their every move.  It's easier for Morgen to understand everything in life with a canine friend but he might also be ready to be a solo dog with just the right person.  He is about 50 pounds.

Requires a fenced yard

Special thanks to Heather Lynch for fostering Morgen. 
He is in the Rochester area.

Newman's Angels
Vicki Buono & Sydney

NEWMAN: A 7 year old Border Collie, Newman is a sweet guy, a gentle soul, happy for attention. He quietly comes up to say hello and will stay by your side. He is easy going and likes the outdoors especially since he used to chase geese off the property where he lived. Now it's time to be a companion and enjoy lots of love which he will treasure. Newman has some worries in new situations so needs a patient guardian to help him feel safe trying new things. He looks to a person for guidance. He is not overly active but still has plenty of energy for an active life. Newman absolutely loves playing with toys and is adorable to watch as he gallops around tossing them in the air, happy as can be! Newman likes to swim, too. He is 45 pounds and is not good with cats. Newman was originally relinquished due to the old age of his NJ guardian. Newman has been trained on the invisible fence.

PANDA: A 7 year old Border Collie, Panda is a very happy, good natured, easy girl! She aims to please and loves to be with her  person, right by their side. She's also a ball nut, happy to play whenever you want to throw for her. Her idea of a good day is a day with ball tosses! Panda can be sensitive in chaotic situations but step by step, makes sense of everything and relies on her person as her friend. She's a wonderful companion. She loves to go for walks and is happy to say hello to people, a great ambassador for the BC breed. She's a happy girl who is going through a big change having lived in one home since she was 7 weeks old. A move from California landed her in a NYC apartment with city sounds and commotion which just didn't suit her. She is carrying a little bit of extra weight from the lack of having her own yard but will trim down to about 40 pounds. She is not yet tested on cats.

Sara's Angels
in honor of Lillie with love from The Six From The Farm for Valentine's Day -- Brither, Meghan, MacCroi, Babby, MacBlae, & Bal 
"Camp Angel" thanks to Marilyn Pinard & Nancy Marston

SARA: A 7 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Sara is an incredibly sweet girl who absolutely loves people. She is super friendly and wants to be your friend instantly. She is very well mannered and gentle and never imposes herself. She's a very polite girl who only asks for love and something to do WITH you. She is a marvelous companion though she comes from good working lines where she could easily have been herding sheep. However, the people who bought her never gave her the chance so Sara's relaxed into being a sweet girl who loves to join in day to day life. She loves toys and entertains herself with squeaky ones, tossing them in the air. Sara is best as a solo dog since that is what she's used to.  She is not comfortable with other dogs in her space. Sara lived in VT all her life and is now enjoying all the action at the Farm! She is 40lbs, typical in size for the breed and good with cats. We feel a hard fence would be better than an invisible fence since Sara is a soft dog who could become worried by the system.

Nanoot's Angel
The Spirit of The Briard Princess DeeDee

NOOT: An 9 yr old border collie with ABCA papers,  Noot (Nanoot) is a sweet guy that really loves to be in the middle of the fun!  He'll play ball if that's what you want to do or he'll enjoy a good hike, hanging with his person.  Noot is a sweet guy, friendly and easy going.  He loves attention and can also relax by himself.  He's great athletic, fast to catch any ball thrown and is also happy to push the soccer ball right up to your feet.  He has no problems with other dogs, but does not really interact with them, much more interested in his person and the ball.  Noot is great off leash and will stay with you on hikes and is very responsive to whatever is asked of him.  Turns out we had Noot's Dad here - Odie - not long ago!  So, we know why he's such a nice guy. He is about 45 pounds and Noot will chase cats but not hurt them so best with dog savvy cats. He was originally given up due to the death of his NJ guardian.

  Special thanks to Paul Elkins for fostering Nanoot/Noot in PA

Jack's Angel
In Memory of Princess Dee Dee, the wonderful Briard
JASON: A 9 year old Border Collie, Jason is a gentle, super sweet guy who really enjoys being with someone who understands his nature.  He is a real 'people dog', not a chaotic dog. He enjoys running around with his person outside and then curling up on the dog bed keeping track of all that goes on inside.   He's also a great lover of a good couch and loves to nudge his person for more pets whenever he can.  A super cuddly BC, he is a wonderful companion. Jason can be nervous at first, adjusting to new people, a bit worried he is wrong and going to be hit.  So, we want to find a gentle guardian who helps him blossom.  Jason so wants to be loved and share his love. He's very affectionate. He just needs time and the right people. He is smart and interested in everything going on around him and he enjoys exploring outdoors. Jason doesn't have much toy interest at this point so would be happiest as a companion BC. He is 40 pounds and good with cats. He would be fine in an unfenced situation that is more rural. His previous guardian was a rescuer in Ohio who then became ill and surrendered him along with 6 other BC's to GHF.

  Special thanks to Joy Moll in Rochester for fostering Jason.



LAZOR found a life that is tailored to him with 40 acres to explore and hike as well as guardians who are around all the time which he will love! He'll have a canine friend too, Missy so they can pal up together for companionship. Lazor's new guardians found this sweet, gentle boy to be a wonderful addition to their lives and were happy to open their hearts and homes to him. He's so special that they knew he would be a great friend. He now lives in NY.

LAZOR: A 10 year old Border Collie, Lazor is smart as a whip and ready to play ball as quick as you can throw it and loves attention. He's a classic BC full of spunk and sweet as can be. He is an amazing athlete and can outrun the 4 year old BC's here - he is fit and healthy and amazing to watch.  He, of course, settles beautifully by your side, happy to accompany you wherever you go. Lazor is great in the car and loves to go everywhere. He's a well-mannered, good natured boy who is very eager to please. Lazor is fine with other dogs and lived with a few, including a Border Collie, but he seems happiest with all the attention focused on him and he loves to love his person, too. Lazor has lived with kids of all ages and really enjoys them. He has great recall, eager to return to you while hiking or anywhere you may be, while exploring with him. Lazor originally came from a working farm in VT when the farm disbanded and has lived in one home the last seven years, in NY, on a chain when left alone. He was no longer wanted and surrendered to the Farm. He is fine with cats and 40 pounds.

MARLEE: A 11 year old Border Collie, Marlee is a sweetheart and loves her ball! She will race for any catch and happily drop the ball right at your feet, happy to run again! She's quite focused about that ball play- clearly her job! She is really adorable and good natured, happy to say hello to anyone. Marlee is also easy going and relaxed inside but loves her outside walks and playing. She is good with other dogs though like most senior dogs, doesn't like being crowded so needs other dogs to give her some room to herself. She is smart and tuned into everything around her, loving to be with her person. Marlee is about 35 pounds and is not good with cats. She was a stray in PA. Another rescuer asked us to take her in. 


.
Mr. MICK found guardians who are wonderful and love this breed completely. He'll have a new friend, GHF alum, Honey, who happily said hello and hung out to get to know Mick. His new FurMom knew Honey needed a friend again since loosing their BC senior boy and no matter how many times she looked at the site, it was Mick who captured her attention. She felt drawn to him so they came and off he went to a new life, loved dearly, living in NY. We're so happy for this senior boy, full of charm and character.

MICK: An 11 year old Border Collie, Mick is a lover. He is super sweet and easy going, really content to be by your side. Smart as can be, he'll respond quickly to whatever is asked of him. He also has quite an 'eye' and is fun to watch as he stalks the other dogs, using his great herding skill. Mick would be thrilled to be with his person as a true companion, going wherever they go and enjoying the adventure of life together. He loves exploring outdoors and has a good recall, staying close by. Mick has lived with a large pack of BC's so can fit in with dogs easily though might enjoy less of a crowd, maybe a BC friend or two. He's a dream to live with and in very good health. We run a geriatric profile on all seniors which includes bloodwork, urinalysis and a thyroid panel and passed with flying colors. Mick is about 35 pounds and good with cats. He was relinquished to the Farm from an Ohio rescuer who had taken ill.

She is a smart girl who likes to be in the middle of the action and understand what's going on around her. She's not afraid to tell a pushy young dog to back off, but it's done nicely. Dogs she meets that have respect for this intelligent girl, do great! Sadie is very sweet and very loving. She is full of spunk and ready to join in ball play!

LOVING FOSTER HOMES NEEDED

We are looking for loving homes to help with special dogs who need some tender loving care on a foster basis. Whether it is an older dog a bit disoriented from the big change to rescue or a young dog with special needs, we NEED YOU. The Farm can succeed in helping Border Collies by having special people who offer to bring a dog into their lives as a foster family.
 
Please contact us if you can helpsweetbcrescue@citlink.net 
We need homes within a two hour drive of upstate NY 
and also in the Pittsburgh area.


Waiting to come in...
These dogs have been evaluated and accepted into the GHF rescue program.  
They are available for adoption from their homes or shelter indicated - contact the Farm for more info


THE CONNOR HOUSE is open!

The dream of having a place for dogs in recovery who needed more time at the Farm is now a reality. 
The CONNOR FUND
has been completed and has dogs already in residence, all with special needs. Our caretaker, Susan, is now helping these dogs day in and day out, much like a foster home setting, since they live with her in her home. The dogs are doing beautifully and the benefits are clear! We are now able to care for more dogs in need on-site at the Farm until they can be fully ready to go into the barn with the adoptable dogs. 

We are forever grateful to the people who donated the funds needed to build The CONNOR HOUSE. Your desire to help is now making such a difference for these dogs and 
all the dogs who await their new lives while at the Farm

Walter & Anne Thomas
Anne & Jim White

Now, The CONNOR FUND needs on-going operational funds to support the care for the dogs themselves. Whether it be car accidents leaving crippled dogs with no one to help, dogs neglected without proper care that require help from others, puppies that need to be quarantined and special monitoring, or  the dogs with emotional scars that need some extra TLC.......   
we cannot carry the load alone. Please generously support The CONNOR FUND(click here)

Foster's Angels
Mary Lea & Gary Cease: In Memory of Jax & Dakota
FOSTER: A 4 year old Border Collie, Foster is very sweet and eager to be with people though very timid and worries about trusting everyone. He SO wants to be near a person and be cuddled and play.  He has an adorable personality, so gentle and hoping for someone who he can trust. A real sensitive gem.  He's also full of energy and needs to run and play and enjoy being himself, among other BC's. He's fast and loves to run and herd, doing best with female BC's.  He's a good-natured BC however he has clearly been abused. When asked to lie down or sit, he is very afraid and will do what is asked but obviously is afraid of being hit. A sudden move of your foot sends him running.  He came to GHF very emaciated, too.  We know he'll do well with time but will require a patient guardian to continue what is started at the Farm. He was part of a confiscation of farm animals and two dogs in PA. He had been chained to a dog 'box' and is totally emaciated. We are very happy to have him here though sorry for his life to date - so unfair. He is good with dog savvy cats and is about 35 pounds now.

AIDAN: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, Aidan is a nice guy who is interested in everything around him and happy to join in the action. He is friendly with people he knows and a VERY leery of those he doesn't, so needs proper introductions with a leader, his person, who is prepared to help him succeed. He is a smart and easy going boy who doesn't need a ton of action but loves attention. We will update his progress as we allow him to unwind at the Farm. Aidan was seen being thrown from a car window and brought into a NY shelter.  Adian is currently NOT available for adoption.  He needs some time to enjoy the life of a happy BC now and learn to trust people.

Special thanks  to Liz Bush; Lisa & Jeff Parker for transporting Aidan to the Farm.

  Special thanks to Susan Anthony for fostering Aidan.
