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

SUNNY:
A 3 month old Border Collie, Sunny is a happy pup with a lot of about
everything around her. She is smart and focused and sweet as they come! An
adorable girl who found her new life quickly with an adopter who had been
patiently hoping to find 'her pup'. Soon as she saw her picture, she
wanted to meet her and then tears filled her eyes when she actually saw
her in person. She was speechless, happy to see the special little one
that grabbed her heart so deeply, so quickly. We were thrilled for Sunny!
and her new FurMom. Sunny now lives with another Border Collie and a
terrier on lots of acres where she can run and explore in NY. |

WILLIS: An 8 month old Border Collie,
Willis is a gentle, sweet, good natured guy who loves to play with other
dogs and toys, too. He is not super high energy but loves a great doggie
game of wrestling and chasing. He will blossom quickly with positive
encouragement and he learns quickly with treats, very eager to please.
Willis is really sweet and learning all about life in a home setting. He
is about 35 pounds and is good with cats. He came from a farmer
who breeds but only wants dogs who will work, not play. Willis's
play nature is just perfect for the Farm and a new life! |

transported him to the Farm. |

Murdoc's Angel
"for
Skip"
MURDOC: A very petite 9 month old
Border Collie mix, Murdoc is a charming little guy with lots of energy to
play and lots of love to give. He is excited to say hello to everyone and
happily does just that. Murdoc easily adapts to a new situation, grabbing
his toy for some fun play and following his person everywhere they go. He
loves toys of any kind, especially the wiggly giggly ball and squeaky
toys, totally enchanted by the odd sounds they make. He is quite the
charmer to be with a funny character to watch, happily entertaining
himself. Murdoc still has those puppy tendencies of being mouthy so will
need some direction which is normal for young dogs. He is smart and eager
to learn and could easily learn sports. He's also fast since he's such a
little guy, only 18 inches at the withers. Murdoc came from Georgia
as part of another rescue's rehoming effort but their placement didn't
work out properly so they contacted us for help. He's a wonderful
good natured little guy, a real puppy at heart, but not good with cats |

-the
Spirit of The Briard Princess, DeeDee
PYE: A
10 month old Border Collie, Pye
is a typical, non-stop, high energy girl who thrives on something to do.
She will make up her own herding games or play with toys if she is not
engaged with her person cause she's smart and focused and ready to go. Pye
is great with everyone she meets, happy to say hello and then hoping for a
connection. She cuddles and loves to be in your lap but like any young BC,
she is then off and going. She loves toys of any kind and loves to play
with other dogs, too. She is
good with cats. She was
abandoned at a PA shelter that fortunately works with GHF. .
Pye is being fostered by Warren Mick in upstate NY where she's going
to learn all about herding sheep. We're so excited for her since
she showed lots of talent when she was tested on sheep this summer. |

Devin's Angel
the
Spirit of The Briard Princess, DeeDee
DEVIN: A 1 year old Border Collie,
Devin is really sweet, good natured guy who enjoys being with his person.
He loves affection and he also loves to play ball. He's enjoying the games
with other Border Collies and really coming to life, having a blast. He
had been an only dog but seems happiest now with a friend. Devin is a very
smart, observant BC who thinks about everything going on around him before
being impulsive so could easily learn whatever is asked of him. He is very
gentle and easy going. Devin is about 45 pounds. Devin is unsure of cats
so needs some guidance and with dog savvy cats, he'd be fine.
He came to the Farm from a NY guardian who ran a day care and
while Devin was good with the kids, she just felt she could not focus on
his needs. |

Tye's Angel
Angel
from "Mac Blae"
TYE: A
1 year old Border Collie, Tye is a sweet guy who is making great strides
understanding life in a home. He is incredibly sweet with people and
having fun playing with his BC friend though he can be nervous with
new people if approached too strongly. He is such a character,
leaning into your legs, eager to curl up for attention, a real love bug
but Tye really does best with his person to give him confidence and takes
awhile to learn the lay of the land in anything new. He will be placed
only with another young BC so he'll have canine companionship and in a BC
savvy adult home. He will be do best in a fairly quiet home though
he does love the action of the farm animals in his foster home. Tye will
only be placed in a hard fence not an underground fence system. Tye
came from Tn with the dogs confiscated from a breeder. Tye
is in foster care in Rochester NY |

Indie's Angel
James Hoffman
INDIE:
A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, Indie is a gentle, sweet, good natured
Border Collie who kicks into herding gear outside with his brother, Cosbie.
He has quite an eye and is eager to 'work'. Indie is smart and also
sensitive so will need a patient guardian who understands how to build his
confidence with people. He is very loving and bonds once he's comfortable
but can be shy at first and takes some time to warm up to new people. He
and his brother lived on a farm where they could run and herd on their own
so he's unsure what's expected of him in a relationship. He does, however,
love people once he knows them. He will be placed with another confident
BC with experience BC guardians. Indie is fine with cats and weighs about
40 pounds. He was relinquished, along with his brother, by a
guardian who could no longer keep them both, from PA. |

COSBIE:
A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, Cosbie is people oriented and loves
attention though he takes time to warm up to new people. He is reserved
and camera shy when inside but comes to life, herding and running outside
with his brother, Indie. He is smart and focused, attentive to new
situations and very good natured. Quite an athlete, he races around like
the wind but is very quiet once inside. He was allowed to herd cows and
horses near to his Farm so will need some more structure to adapt to a new
life. Cosbie is very eager to bond so will do well with a BC savvy person
who is patient. He will be placed with another BC, in an experienced home
that can help him build his confidence with people. He is good with
cats and weighs about 40 pounds. He came from PA when his guardian
could no longer keep him and his brother. |

also loves interacting with people to go, go, go, like all young
BC's. She is a sweetie, very friendly with everyone and absolutely
the sweetest cuddler around. She loves, loves, loves people! Jilley
has a great personality and the energy to match so will need an active
home. She could easily do any sport and thrives on challenges and
learning. She is about 40 pounds and OK with dog savvy cats. She is safely
now in rescue rather than running loose on the streets. |

center of attention though she is very gentle with people, a love-bug.
Lela is also very fast when she's running and loves a good outdoor race.
She gets along with other dogs well but could easily live as a solo dog
with someone who is active. Lela is about 35 pounds and good with dog savvy
cats. She came originally from Texas to a NY guardian who could then
not meet her needs. |

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 alone more than 6
hours a day.

KAI: A 2 year old Border Collie with
ABCA papers, Kai is all action, a very smart, very focused and very fast
young Border Collie, He loves to run and he's fast as the wind, chasing
and herding the other dogs. Kai is also very loving and friendly to
everyone. He has no worries about life and loves to jump into everything
with gusto. He will do best with an active home that can maximize his mind
while keeping him busy since he has plenty of energy to burn. He does,
however, settle beautifully once he comes inside, quietly laying down and
content. Kai and his brother, Casey, came to the Farm since they were
escaping their fenced yard to chase chickens, very typical of active BC's
who need focused activities rather than creating their own. Kai could
easily do any sport and is super fast to learn anything new. He is about
45 pounds and not good with cats. Kai and his brother Casey came to
the Farm from Long Island guardians. They can be placed together or
separately. Kai is trained on the invisible fence |

CASEY: A 2 year old Border Collie with
ABCA papers, Casey is a very smart, observant and focused BC who likes to
herd other dogs but also loves to be with his person. He is super
responsive to what is asked of him and will easily hang out inside,
enjoying the attention of his guardian. Casey has a strong focus so could
easily learn whatever he is asked to do but he will also entertain
himself, curious about everything. He and his brother, Kai, came
into rescue from their Long Island home where they were escaping the fence
to chase chickens. He is carrying some extra weight which he'll
knock off easily here. Casey is not good with cats. Both he and Kai have
wonderful recall and enjoyed off leash trail walks in their previous home.
They could be placed together or separately. Casey is trained on the

MISHA
will remain with our caretaker at The Connor House, where he's been living
for the last year, happily joining her pack. He loves the Farm, swimming
and hiking the trails and happily cuddles on the bed each night. Misha is
clearly thrilled with his new life. His behavioral issues are easily
managed in this setting and he will thrive in this more rural life.
MISHA: A petite 2 year old Border
Collie, Misha is all about action - balls, racing, herding games - he
wants to be in all of it. He is super agile and fast and could
easily excel in agility or any sport. Misha is also very very smart,
attentive, alert and focused so would do well with someone interested in
training. Misha is a very smart Border Collie and already knows many
obedience commands and is totally responsive. He will only be adopted into
a BC savvy home since he needs a leader to occupy his mind, body and
emotions. He is great with other dogs, easily plays in a herding style and
can outrun many of the rescue dogs. He loves to swim and will retrieve
from the water endlessly or just enjoy a swim by himself. He is about 35
pounds and best with dog savvy cats. Misha was surrendered to the
Farm due to an inability to meet his energy needs. He came from upstate
NY. He was adopted into a home but returned due to his issues with
children. He is very nervous around them so needs an adult only home.
Misha means 'little bear' in Russian and really captures his adorable
petite size and charm.

RHEA:
A
2 year old Border Collie, Rhea is a smart, driven girl who likes to herd
and has informally worked sheep on the farm where she lived. She is a
gentle Border Collie when not working and can even be a little shy with
new people but warms up once comfortable. She is sweet and likes to
connect with her person, a super affectionate girl. Rhea
is quite cuddly, jumping right into you lap for belly rubs and hugs. Rhea
loves to play ball and frisbee but like most BC's, her favorite thing is
herding, even if it's other Border Collies. She would do best with
another BC for play, preferably a male. She is good with cats and
fine with other dogs but does best with males. Rhea lived in a farm
situation but was fostered in a loving home for a number of months and is
now ready to start a new life. She will do best with BC savvy people
since she does have a lot of energy so needs an active home where she can
hike and join in regular mental and physical activity. She
came to the Farm from Vermont when a neighbor stepped in to help her |

Mason is a character. Once he loves you, he is THE most excited boy to
ever see you- saying hello with a full body wiggle, jumping up and down
and talking with his most excited sounds, barely able to sit still - just
asking for a hello back! He is hysterically funny. Mason is super
affectionate and eager to be with his person, happy to go anywhere and
everywhere with you. He tends to favor women the most and eagerly wants to
be your companion. He loves to play frisbee and race and run and then
settles easily once inside, just happy to be with you. Mason is fine with
other dogs though has no real interest if they are there or not, happier
to be with his person. Mason will be placed in an adult only home since
he's most comfortable with solid leadership He is about 40 pounds and good

months, happily playing ball and enjoying trail walks at the Farm. His
physical and behavioral issues are easily managed in this setting and he
is a favorite of everyone and will thrive here in this more rural setting.
SULLY: A
2 1/2 year old Border Collie, Sully is a gorgeous boy with an outgoing
personality who likes to meet everyone. He also loves his ball and will
retrieve endlessly and is happiest with his job of toys and ball play.
Sully is smart and focused and very connected to people, quickly bonding.
He is great with other dogs and happy to play with another Border Collie.
He has such an attentive nature and is eager to work for whomever he is
with and is also great off leash for hiking, with fabulous recall. He is
about 40 pounds and is good with cats. He was a stray in
western NY, taken to a shelter that works with GHF. We
discovered that Sully had issues with handling his hindquarters so pursued
diagnostics with orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Paul Bookbinder, in Syracuse,
with extensive xrays of his hips and spine. We are so glad we checked this
out because we uncovered the source of his reactivity to handling - Sully
has what we call in human terms - sciatica - nerve pain in the lower back.
This level of nerve pain was causing his behavior problems obviously
because he was hurting. Now, being treated with a low level of
prednisone, he is a different dog. We can move his tail without pain
and his back legs. He can run, play, chase balls and hike
now, pain free

A 2 1/2 yr old Border Collie, Jakey is an amazing athlete - he jumps all
four feet right off the ground at least two feet. He is super agile, super
fast and really eager to learn and execute whatever you ask him to do.
Jakey is a very obedient and very very smart, offering behaviors quickly,
hoping for a treat and approval and to try something more challenging.
Jakey has been exposed to agility equipment and is fearless,
eager to do any obstacle. He is a strong runner, loves toys of any kind
and can cut and angle to retrieve a toy like any classic high drive border
collie. Jakey is great with people and loves affection though he can be
insecure at first, especially with men. He would do best with a woman as
his main caretaker. Jakey is fine with other dogs but would be
happiest as a solo dog or with a submissive female. He is about 40
pounds and Ok with dog savvy cats. He was surrendered to the
Farm from PA because the guardian's other older dog was beating him up.

Dessie's Angels

Nan
DESSIE:
A 2 1/2 year old Border Collie, Dessie is a sweet, gentle girl who is
learning how to have fun! She and Jodi, came from the same breeder
who dumped them at a PA shelter so this is her first time to
enjoy the freedom to play. Dessie is very shy at first but so wants to be
next to you, that she inches up carefully to your side for belly rubs and
attention. Loud voices will scare her away so she'll need a patient home
that understands it will take awhile for her to be a 'normal' run up to
everyone kind of BC. When you're happy and at ease, so is she but it
takes time for Dessie to feel safe. She will only be placed in a hard
fence situation since she is so skittish. And, she needs a home
without young children that is quiet and preferably has a canine friend, a
male BC. Dessie is a really special sweet, good natured girl and she's
great with other Border Collies but she has not had the social contact
with people to help her feel safe right away. She will only be
placed with a hard fence and with someone who is very patient to help her
gain confidence, slowly. She is about 35 pounds and good with cats. Dessie
is being fostered in NY |

switch and can hang out or amp up and respond to all the action around. He
also likes herding and playing with other Border Collies though he can be
a strong dog with some BC's as he starts herding them. He could be a
solo dog since he is used to being on his own. He is about 40 pounds

KELIE: A petite 3 year old Border
Collie, Kelie is all about love and cuddles. She will happily hop into
your lap for endless affection. She is a gentle girl who gets along with
other dogs but seems to thrive with her person the most. She is
smart and attentive but not overly intense. She comes from a herding
background since she's the daughter of Stan, who is also in rescue. Just
like him, she is incredibly easy going and eager to bond. Kelie has
not had any toy experiences since she was chained outside at a farm
(chained not far from Stan) and she was also allowed to run loose around
the Farm. She never left, instead she considered the Farm 'her job',
though it wasn't an ideal life. The day we met Kelie, it was subzero
weather and her 5 foot chain was pulled across packed down snow and there
was no water, only food thrown on the snow. No matter the
circumstances, she loves everyone, a lovely classic BC! She is good

the complexity of this breed. Jack will not succeed with heavy handed
approaches, instead, he needs direction and guidance that is kind and
fair, leading him to enjoy life as an active BC. He is very focused and
eager to connect with people. Jack is very very smart and observant
of everything around him, easily influenced by people. He is about 35
pounds and good with cats. Jack
would
be happiest as a solo dog or with a female BC who loves to play. He'll be

Genie and Gradie's Angels
Kathleen and Kelli Rupert
GENIE,
2 1/2 years old and GRADIE, 3 years old (the white BC) are incredibly loving and gentle and sweet.
They are eager to be with everyone they meet and love to explore
everything around them, curious and eager to join in. They are a great
pair and clearly reliant on each other in a positive way so will be placed
together. Gradie loves to race and run and gets so excited with toys while
Genie is the thoughtful girl who quietly joins your side and loves to be
near you. They are both about 35 pounds and are good with cats. They
came from an Amish 'breeder' who no longer wanted them, and then as they handed them over to our
volunteer, said 'I'm so glad you took them cause we hate to kill the ones
we like", an unbelievable statement of cruelty. These two loving
souls have great spirits and are healing and enjoying their new life, free
to play and run like every Border Collie should be. We are so happy to
have them and know they will be incredible companions to someone
special. |

herder and clearly wants to handle the movement of other dogs or sheep, in
perfect position. She is one focused girl when there is action but
one incredibly sweet girl when the action stops. Sera could potentially
work sheep but will need formal training or she could easily enjoy life as
a companion. She favors female Border Collies over males and wants to play
with them. She is about 35 pounds and is OK with cats dog savvy
cats. Sera came from TN with the dogs confiscated from a
breeder. |

SERA was recently tested on sheep and
did great. She shows promise so we are hoping to put her on sheep
again soon. She could work for someone new to herding who needed help with
sheep. Sera listens well though will need formal training to learn
commands. |

situations and fits in wherever he goes. He'll entertain himself with his
toys, making up his own games, a wonderful guy! He is typical in size,
about 45 pounds and fine with cats. He lived in a home where his guardians

HOLLI: A 5 year old Border Collie,
Holli is a happy, good natured, outgoing girl who loves to play ball and
stick games endlessly. She has plenty of focus, happily looking for her
person for interactive play. She is smart and catches onto new things
quickly, adjusting well. She's such a sweetheart, she loves to be in your
lap and happily hops up on the bed for cuddling, too. Holli likes to hang
with other Border Collies but could also be happy as a solo dog since she
loves to be where people are and she enjoys all the action. Holli is 50
pounds and does fine with cats but best with dog savvy cats since she will
chase if they run but will not herd them. She is trained on the invisible
fence. Holli is being fostered not far from Harrisburg PA and can be
met at the Farm. |

Holli is kindly being fostered
by Heather Groff and Bruce Stick. |

BEBEE:
A 5 year old Border Collie, Bebee loves people and is happy to say hello
to everyone and anyone. She's very smart and outgoing and loves to
investigate all that is around her. She is curious and will check
out new areas thoroughly as she enters them. She likes to swim and
when she does, she enters the water daintily to retrieve a thrown toy,
sometimes keeping her back completely dry. She loves attention and
will cuddle up to you and give you kisses as you pet her or scratch behind
her ears. She and her friend, Shelbie, play endlessly together and
could be placed together or possibly with another Border Collie. They love
trail walks together. She is about 40 pounds and not yet tested on cats. Bebee
comes from CT with Shelbie due to a job change that brings foster children
into the home. |

FLASHY- A 5 year old Border Collie,
Flashy is a wonderful companion, good natured and eager to be with people.
He loves being in the middle of the action. A really good guy, he wants to
connect with someone quickly. Flashy is great with other dogs and enjoys
Border Collie games, happy to entertain himself. He is about 40 pounds and
trained on the invisible fence. If living with cats, they would need to be
dog savvy. Flashy was adopted from the Farm in January 2008 but due to the
birth of a baby, he is back in rescue. Flashy originally used to
herd geese at his home property but was relinquished to the farm
from NJ due to a move. |

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. |

JASMINE found the perfect
guardians to enjoy the rest of her life! She will be their beloved canine
friend, going everywhere they go and exploring her new property, high atop
a hill where she can watch everything. She won their hearts with her
friendly, out going nature when they met on the first visit. Once home to
think everything over, they knew Jasmine was the one they wanted to come
back to take home! She now lives in PA.
JASMINE: A 6 year old Border Collie
mix, Jasmine is a very smart, observant girl who makes sense of what is
going on around her, quickly. She bonds quickly and then is a companion
through and through, eager to be with her person. She is affectionate and
friendly, loving to be right next to you. She's more easy going than
purebred BC's, enjoys walks and swimming and is used to being a real
family member. She's lived in one home since a pup and is good with
cats. Jasmine was relinquished to the Farm due to financial
reasons, from NY.

MILO:
A
7 year old Border Collie, Milo is one of the happiest dogs to come
from the TN group - he thinks the Farm is great and life is full
of wonderful things - trails walks, play time and other dogs!
His excitement is wonderful to witness. Milo is a wonderful,
thoughtful BC who observes and takes in all that goes on around him. A
gentle, good natured boy, he really wants to bond with people he meets and
quickly feels secure and happy when it clicks. Milo is very smart
and has the perfect energy level, happy to romp and run or happy to hang
and cuddle. He is very smart and can be sensitive if rushed too
quickly to do something he's never done before so he needs a patient
person who allows him to keep discovering the cool things about
life. Milo loves his new roomie, Jodi, they are having a blast
together because she is so outgoing that he goes along with all the fun so
would be happiest with another BC, female ideally, who wants to play.
He is about 45 pounds and is good with cats. Milo is
nervous with some men due to the history with the bad breeder so will need
a patient adult home to help him feel he is safe. He does well when he has
a person to count on and can then take treats and approach men. Milo

any she meets. Tarra has a gentle nature and blossoms with the routine of
life. She loves trail walks and swimming. Tarra is about 50 pounds and
good with cats. She and Jock have lived together for the past 6 years,
adopted from the Farm, but returned when her guardian became ill. They

with dogs and is eager to join in any activity. Jock is very outgoing and
has a great temperament. He loves to play and loves to learn. He's super
affectionate and friendly though does best with older children since young
children make him nervous. He also loves trail walks and swimming. He was
adopted from the Farm 6 years ago with his friend, Tarra, and happily
plays with her non-stop. They were both returned when his guardian became
very ill. Jock was a beloved canine companion and family member to him.
Jock and Tarra could be separated or placed together. Jock is not good
with cats. |

Stan's Angels

STAN:
An 8 year old Border Collie, Stan can now see GREAT and is one happy,
herding guy! He is, however, very camera shy so we had to sneak a peek for
you to meet the new watchful Stan. He loves to track all the dogs
along the fence and happily uses his BC eye again. In person, he's
one love bug, happy to come up for a gentle hello and then back to
herding. He is smart as a whip and one wonderful, good natured,
quintessential Border Collie, calm and focused. Stan
is a champion herder, coming from a breeder in Ireland who said he
actually placed in the top 4 herding dogs in the infamous competition One
Man and His Dog, televised in England. This famous show had loyal
viewers who continually watched as these talented Border Collies herded
sheep in thousand acre farms. Stan was imported from Ireland to a town
nearby and while in theory, working the farm, he was chained what seems to
be a lot of his life.
Recently,
living on a chain, basically unable to see, Stan THANKFULLY found a new
life when the Animal Control Officer contacted us asking for help. One of
our colleagues kindly got involved and helped get Stan to us. The GREAT
news is that Stan's eye condition is totally treatable... it's called
pannus, a very common condition in Border Collies. He is now on eye drops,
which he'll need for life. We are so thrilled with this great news.
Stan is good with cats.

BUDDY:
We are incredibly excited to announce Buddy's adoption! A few months ago,
unbeknownst to us, Buddy's person arrived. She knew immediately...he knew
quickly and then finally, we knew it! Our new employee, Emma, joined the
caretaker team and within short order, announced she was in love with
Buddy. Of course, we know that lots of people have loved Buddy over the
past two years - all of us, of course and the volunteers and campers who
walk him - so we didn't think much more than it's another Buddy fan! Well,
in a few weeks, she requested a serious conversation about adopting Buddy
and as they say, the rest is history.
Buddy is now sleeping on the bed, sprawled
out as if he's lived with her his whole life. He's getting numerous ball
play sessions each day and plenty of walks in the great outdoors, which he
loves. The greatest news is that not only did Buddy finally find his
person and his person found him, he also has a canine friend! He lays side
by side with his new friend for a snooze and they check on each other
constantly. His new canine friend is carefully managed so as not to be too
much for Buddy so he's now got it all - a friend; a person who really
understands him; tons of ball play and most importantly, at age 10, all
the love he so richly deserves.
We always wondered if Buddy would overcome
the loss of his person two years ago and now today, we can say, he has
most certainly shown he is ready for a new journey. And, in pure Buddy
style, he's already learned lots of new hand signals and watches his
person intently, not wanting to miss any of the exciting new life he now
has with her. When we introduced Buddy to his new canine friend and as we
were ready to take Buddy back to the barn, he sat next to Emma with a show
of determination, uninterested in moving. We knew then that Buddy had made
his own choice. He patiently waited for her day off to then head home
forever!!!!
BUDDY
is a 10 yr old Border Collie that is loving, gentle and loves to play
ball. Buddy loves to be with his person and is the perfect companion, well
mannered and wonderful with everyone. Buddy is deaf, but loves to be part
of the action, happy to race after balls and retrieve. He loves to meet
new people and quickly nudges your hand for a pet on the head. He also
loves to ride in the car and is happiest as the constant companion to his
person. Buddy is about 50 lbs and good with cats. He is trained
on the invisible fence which he will need since he can scale any hard
fence easily. Buddy was relinquished by a caring family in NJ
after the death of his guardian. |

Storm
has been diagnosed with heart disease through Cornell cardiologists so he
is on medication now. He will need to visit a cardiologist for an
echocardiogram
once a year and may have to go on additional medication.
Heart disease in Border Collies is not uncommon and older BC's live
long lives doing just fine with the support of meds, as needed. |

STORM:
An
11 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Storm is a smart , focused,
fun guy who loves to be involved with his people. He is incredibly
sweet and always by your side, excited for any toss of a toy or ball. He
has the classic BC traits of looking for something to do yet a beautiful
ability to relax and lie down when asked to do so. Storm is very eager to
please, has great manners inside and out, a brilliant BC. He loves frisbee
and ball and is as fast as the younger BC's he's living with at the
founder's home. He'd never turn down a chance to catch a toss. Storm
is great off leash and a wonderful hiking partner. He's lived in one
home since a puppy and has been a beloved companion for all his years,
leaving a family who dearly wishes things worked out differently. The
toddlers in the home were making him anxious, combined with a move to a
hot climate, the guardians felt it was best for Storm to have an easier
life. Storm is the first generation born in the states, from Scottish
breeders so he has that classic intelligence and calmness combined with
the focus to respond to whatever is asked of him...a classic BC! He herds
cats obsessively so will go to a non cat home. He is 50 pounds. |

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

MINDIE: A 10 year old Border Collie,
Mindie is a loving, sweet and incredibly good natured girl. She's had an
awful life, cast off after the death of her guardian until caring
neighbors stepped in to get her to rescue. She is a doll, so wonderful
about everything, you'd never know she had a bad day at all. Mindie is
smart and eager to be with people and gets along famously with other dogs,
too. Mindie loves everyone she meets and is very eager to please.
She loves toys of any kind and absolutely loves playing tug. Her foster
Mom describes her as a 'feisty sweetie!" She is carrying extra
weight so we're going to help her loose some before she heads out to a new
home. She spent the past 6 years left in a crate in a barn
fed by a neighbor, without much human contact at all. The night she
was rescued, she had frozen water and a layer of ice on her thin bed of
hay. It was truly believed she would not have survived. We are
very happy that Mindie made it to a safe and loving situation, no matter
how long she had to wait.. she deserves the best! She is
currently in foster care. |

PRITZI,
age 6 and LAYCE, age 3 are mother and daughter. Both are
very good natured, sweet and happy girls. They love to nudge you for
attention and happily say hello asking for belly rubs, too. Pritzi
and Laycee are very happy with each other, racing around together and
quickly enjoyed their first romp outside at the Farm. Our first task
with them is to treat their heartworm disease which means about six weeks
of recovery for both. They were originally from the south adopted by
an upstate guardian who could then not keep them. Fortunately, the shelter
where they were abandoned regularly works with the Farm. They are
delightful Border Collies and deserve to have a healthy, happy life.
They will be living at the Connor House during their treatment. |

WOODY:
An
8 yr old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Woody is all BC - he is smart,
tuned in, eager to please and all about the ball! He would happily
enjoy ball play all day
as well as
hiking. He is full of energy to play, play, play! He's wonderful off
leash for hiking and would accompany his person wherever they go, enjoying
racing through the woods, jumping in the water for a swim and a quick ball
toss here and there. He is fantastic with other dogs, fitting in
beautifully, not interested in much interaction but happy to hang with
anyone. He'd be happiest as the solo dog where he was the constant
friend to a person, able to go wherever they go. Woody loves everyone he
meets and adjust to new situations perfectly, trusting that life is good
and people are great. Like most older BC's that come into rescue, Woody is
marvelous, absolutely delightful because he comes from breeding years ago,
when care was taken to breed a stable, balanced dog. The
youngsters are great dogs, too but the more mature BC's really exemplify
the outstanding features of this breed. Woody lived in Montana
years ago and most recently NY where it turned out he was the cause of
allergies in one of the children in the home so Woody had to go. He
was a beloved family member. Woody is being fostered in NY |

CASSY: A 1 year old Border Collie,
Cassy is adorable, sweet and all action. She loves to run and race and
focus on whatever moves, classic to the breed. She is smart and eager to
bond. Cassy is good with other Border Collies and could enjoy a friend for
all her energy. She really wants to interact with a person and needs the
mental stimulation and structure of an activity. Her previous guardians
did nothing with her so she needs a Border Collie savvy home to really
invest time in her development. Cassy is not good with cats. She is about
35 pounds. Cassy came from PA. She is being fostered in
NJ and getting a chance to do sheepherding which is helping with
redirecting her OCD behaviors. |

KITT:
A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, Kitt is all about working whatever moves
with quite the eye. She is smart, focused and very classic BC. Kitt is
super friendly and affectionate too, loving everyone she meets. She's
quite the cuddler and easy going inside however once outside, Kitt is all
about work. She is a strong herder so best as a solo dog in an
active home or with another BC who doesn't mind being herded. She
will also stress out cats who are not used to this plus she needs
supervision since her herding can turn into a grab, though it's not
aggression, it's just intent herding. We are listing her as no cats
for this reason though many homes have bc's just like her and manage fine. |
| Kitt has a
dislocated hip we are about to have checked out by an orthopedic
specialist. Once we know what's ahead for surgery, we'll update the site
but we are anticipating a costly procedure to help her. She cannot put
full weight on her back leg due to this injury. Kitt came to us from
another rescuer who felt we could best manage her needs. |
