Chas will also get lots of hikes as he accompanies his guardian at work for her research projects plus he'll get to try herding and agility. He will happily be one busy Border Collie living in New Hampshire!

CHAS: A 1 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Chas is a gem, very curious about everything around him and eager to explore. He is smart and focused and wants to play with other dogs. He is quickly enjoying his Border Collie friends at the Farm and could enjoy living with another BC or as a solo dog in an active home.  Chas loves toys and is interested in learning anything and everything. He is very playful and needs a furry friend for an outlet for his energy. He also loves the water and will enjoy a good dunk in the tub or swim in the creek. He is about 40 pounds, and he is not sure what to do with cats (gets a bit excited), will probably chase, so best with bc savvy cats . Chas was given up due to a lifestyle change, from upstate NY. He was very loved and cared for properly til the recent changes which left him alone 8-10 hours a day.

LEXIE is a very petite 1 1/2 year old Border Collie who is a real sweetheart. There isn't a person she meets that she doesn't love. She is friendly with people, great with kids and loves attention. Lexie is very playful, enjoying racing and chasing games with other dogs. She is clearly motivated by food and loves to learn. Our trainer working with her said she is a genius - there isn't anything she won't try or do! Agility would be a snap for her. She is a really lovely, good natured girl and quite a lover, too. Lexie is great with other dogs and also cats and weighs approx 22 lbs. She and the father of the pups were surrounded to a PA shelter when she was pregnant.

BAXTER came to the farm one Sunday from a shelter in PA where he had been abandoned by an Amish breeder. At 8 months old, this sweet guy was happy to be at the Farm running and playing. One of our volunteers who works with us fell in love instantly that day and knew he would fit perfectly with her pack and the other blue merle BC, Bleu, she had adopted.  The two of them were a wonderful match and Baxter now happily lives in upstate NY. 

Baxter is super good natured which is amazing considering this sweet guy was neutered with rubber bands around his testicles at 3 months old, a technique often used with livestock. 

TAM found her forever home with two other Border Collies, one young one who loves to play just like her and the other, who loves the ball so she'll be non-stop playing, border collie style!

He is very smart, eager to learn anything presented to him and could easily do any canine sport. Matty will be placed with older children or in an adult home since young children make him nervous, which is very common with the  breed. He is about 35 pounds and  is afraid of cats so should do well but will benefit from positive introductions.  He came to the Farm from a home in PA with very young children. 

OLLIE found his forever home with a loving guardian who fell in love with his sweet nature and loveable eyes as well as his classic border collie quirks and brilliance. She knows border collies well, having friends and family with them (even one from the Farm) so is all set to enjoy this wonderful guy forever! Ollie now lives in Md. Ollie happily headed out the gate to his new life!

OLLIE  A 6  year old Border Collie, Ollie is a fun-loving boy who wants to play ball and race around.  He’s very fast, and up for any games. With a toy in his mouth, he enjoys retrieval games as well as chase games which he loves to play with kids.  Ollie is eager to connect with people, sharing his sweet nature. He is very gentle, obedient and eager to please. He loves an interactive relationship with people and can easily live anywhere where he can play but he also loves to chill out right by your side when inside.  He'll lay at your feet wherever you are, quiet as can be or then hop up, and head out for fun! He is about 40 pounds. Ollie is not good with cats. Ollie was relinquished to the Farm because of lack of time for him. 

TWIST: An 8 month old Border Collie, Twist is a playful boy who loves to run and chase and race with his littermate (we think). He enjoys toys and herding games and is also very very sweet and gentle. He loves attention and is very affectionate. Twist is eager to connect and like any young Border Collie, happy to be with you. He will be placed with another young dog and someone who can build his confidence further. Twist is super sweet and very smart. He is about 45 pounds and not yet tested on cats. Twist and Trim were left in a shelter yard in a PA shelter, abandoned. 

MICKEE: A gorgeous 4 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers ,Mickee is very oriented to playing and racing, full of energy. He is very friendly and looking for something to focus on with his mind. He would benefit from the stimulation of toy play or possibly sports like agility or flyball. Mickee is really enjoying life at the Farm, being outside to run free in the fields since he spent most of his time inside the house while his previous guardian worked. Mickee is a strong male Border Collie so does best with female dogs or can be a solo dog.  He loves the water and will enjoy a good dunk in the tub or swim in the creek. Mickee will chase cats so will be placed in a non-cat home.  He was surrendered to the farm from a PA guardian who wanted more for them both. 

BOO found her forever home with adopters who have a senior dog from the Farm already and wanted to open their hearts and home again to help one in need.

SHAE: A 1 year old Border Collie, Shae is a lively young dog who needs stimulation from other young Border Collies since he likes to race and herd. He is also very very sweet, a real cuddler and very gentle with people, a love bug. He will be placed with another active Border Collie and in a home where he can have fun.  His reaction time is super fast mostly because he has an eye impairment. His optic nerves from the eye to the brain did not develop properly so he has impaired vision with some blind spots. Shae can see well and will not go blind but will need a guardian who is patient and understands how to work with him without expecting perfection. He will do well in a home with another easy going dog since he loves dogs and will model off their behavior and interests. Shae has a marvelous temperament, so loving and sweet and bonds instantly to everyone. He is about 30 pounds, fairly petite and is friendly with cats but will chase them. He was surrendered to a PA shelter due to a family illness.  We are sure he compensated well with his eyesight so no one previously realized he had this impairment.  

JUDD is a 10 month old Border Collie with all the fun loving energy of any young pup. He is very sweet, playful and alert, eager to interact with other Border Collies. Soon as he arrived at the Farm, he joined in herding games and fit right in. Judd is smart and interested in everything around him. He is fairly small for his age, more typical in size for a 6 month old. He is good with cats. Judd was given up to a Philadelphia shelter because his guardian lived in an apartment and he was too much for them. Thankfully, the shelter works with the Farm and agrees that Border Collies do not belong in urban city settings. 

FIN: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie mix, Fin is a charming, good natured dog who enjoys other dogs immensely. He is very physical and loves to be chased as fast as he can as well as all kinds of wrestling and body blocking games. He is very high energy in his play needs but fairly quiet once inside. Fin is very smart, eager to please and willing learn. He can be a bit skittish with sounds outside at times so does best with another confident dog who wants to play which helps him gain his confidence.

Callie is trained on the invisible fence. She was surrendered to the Farm due to a move and being unable to meet her needs. She came from the PA area. 

LANCE found his forever home with marvelous guardians who cherish their dogs and clearly were smitten by Lance and his good-natured sweet ways. Lance loved the little schnauzer, Springer, since he used to live with a dachshund so he felt right at home. And, of course, Lance loved the hugs and kisses and then happily headed off to his new life in upstate NY where he'll have acres and acres to explore in his new rural life living on 40 acres with 5 acres electronic fenced, perfect for a border collie!

LANCE: A 2 1/2 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Lance is a wonderful sensitive Border Collie, quite gentle meeting people and very attuned to everyone he greets. He is very sweet and loving and attentive. He is not overly intense or high energy, rather a more thoughtful Border Collie, making decisions step by step, much like a working dog. Lance also loves to play with other Border Collies, racing and herding and gets along with all the dogs he meets. Lance lived with other dogs previously in an unfenced situation, but  has strong herding instincts with moving bikes or joggers so will need a hard fence.  Lance will be placed with older children or in an adult home since young children make him nervous, which is very common with the  breed. Lance is about 35 pounds and is great with cats. He came to the Farm from PA where he was a beloved family member.

She is about 35 pounds and is good with cats. Angell was relinquished directly to the Farm from PA where she had lived with an 86 year old woman who bought her. She was a beloved companion but too much for the woman. 

HOLLEE: A petite 11 month old Border Collie, Hollee is very very smart and wants to be connected with a person instantly. She hops up into your lap for loving and then is ready to go for all action. She is very petite so would be a great sport candidate, a small lean little body and a brilliant mind looking for something to do. Hollee is good with other dogs but is a strong female so needs a submissive male companion or could be a solo dog if in a very active home. She is very very loving and enjoys every person she meets. She is not yet tested on cats and about 35 pounds. Hollee was in a shelter in PA who fortunately works with rescue. 

MAJOR found his forever home with a loving family that visited him recently and then his FurDad came back a bit later when they were all set to have him join their family. Major's focused play with the jolly ball and his classic BC herding 'eye' won their hearts plus his gentle good nature was the perfect fit for the little girl in the family, for whom Major would be her first dog. It's been said that first dogs are special angels on assignment that have important work to do because they open the hearts of children and adults in a brand new way, sharing all the unconditional love that only a dog can offer. We sincerely believe that Major waited almost a year to the day to find his new 'work' because he is an angel in fur, a wonderful heart worker just looking for the people who were his to join. We'll miss this special Border Collie but know he will surely be adored and share his heart fully. Major now lives in CT with a huge yard and a weekend home on 100 acres in Vermont!

Update from Home:  "We made it home with no problems at all.  Major was a perfect gentlemen. He is a very sad tomato though because he misses you and farm.  I felt so bad leaving. He was very confused and quiet most of the way but started to cheer up a little after Albany.  He cuddled next to me in the front most of the way.  When we got home we surprised Jessica completely.  The look on her face I will never forget. He has been through a very long day and just wanted to rest.  The picture sums it up very well.  We promise to send more pics." James

MAJOR: A 3 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Major is stunning to see in action and quite a thinker. He is very smart and would thrive in a situation where he could use his mind, body and heart. He is very affectionate and friendly to everyone he meets, a real people dog, happy to play or happy to lounge in your lap. He  loves the water and will enjoy a good dunk in the tub or swim in the creek. He also loves the frisbee and will happily 'set-up' for a good throw, over and over again. He is a confident dog and gets along best with female border collies, not males. He could be a solo dog in an active home. Major is also good with cats and is about 45 pounds. Major loves a challenge and will be placed with Border Collie savvy guardians who understand the needs of the breed. He is part of the 25 dogs surrendered to the farm from a guardian in PA who had personal problems financially and with alcohol. 

SPARKY: A 15 year old Border Collie, Sparky is one of the most delightful dogs to come into rescue. He is a doll, absolutely wonderful with everyone, happy to be with people and fine with other dogs. Sparky is good natured, easy going and very well balanced. He is super sweet, and filled with energy. Everyone who meets him, even the vet who did his wellness check, could not believe the energy in this 15 year old..no one can believe he is a senior, which is testament to the nature of this breed, active and healthy for a long long time. Sparky is good with cats.  He is carrying a bit of extra weight but we aren't too concerned about that considering at 105 years old (in human terms), most of us would have a few extra pounds too! Sparky was relinquished to the Farm from his guardian who took him in at age 13 after his original guardian had a house fire, loosing everything. The woman who has had him felt she couldn't provide the care any longer. He came to the Farm from NJ and is now in a foster home being lovingly adored in CT, with one of our adopters. 

GREAT NEWS FOR RAVEN! He is staying with his foster family who have not only fallen in love with him but they know with his health challenges, he's in the right place for forever! Raven's digestive problems are under control and he's back up to a great weight of 74 pounds, like normal. He's such a sweet guy that they are even thinking he'll become one of their therapy visiting dogs! We are thrilled for Raven and so appreciative of Judi and Andy who gave him their hearts and all the help he needed.

RAVEN is a 7 year old neutered male Border Collie mix. He is a wonderful sweetheart, so happy to be with you and eager to go anywhere you want to go, a real lover. Raven would be a marvelous companion and is great with kids, dogs and cats. He also loves to explore the outdoors, happy to sniff and run and take in a beautiful day. He also loves toys and ball play of any kind!  Raven has one health situation that is being solved now in foster care. He has a pancreatic insufficiency and will need digestive enzymes to help him digest food. A few tablets before each meal provide what he needs. His foster family is presently bringing him back to normal weight since he finally has the ability to retain the nutrients he needs. Raven came into rescue  horribly underweight and had been beaten for having loose stools, under the assumption he was not housetrained. In fact, he has a health challenge that can be solved. Raven's original guardian passed away and Raven's life has been a tough one since then. One of the family members stepped in to care for him but left him alone several days at a time, hollered at him and generally did not want him. Fortunately, when he was turned into a PA shelter they contacted the farm to take him since they are so full. He's a beautiful dog - inside and out- and deserves a great family to love.  He is presently being fostered in Buffalo, NY.

TRENT: A 6 month old Border Collie, Trent is adorable, a real people pup. He loves everyone and is easy going and confident, happy to be a part of the action. He is great with other dogs and has already been socialized with adult dogs and does beautifully. He is showing herding tendencies and already enjoys herding games with other Border Collies. Trent is very smart, loves to play but most importantly, loves to cuddle!! He is very playful and focused and needs another young Border Collie for his energy though he is not overly intense. He is not yet neutered and will be placed with an adoption contract requiring neutering. Trent will do best without cats or with dog savvy cats used to being herded. Trent came to us from a shelter in PA.

PENN: A 1 year old Border Collie, Penn is a lively, good natured dog who is really friendly with people and happy to be in the middle of fun. He loves playing with the other dogs and is eager to be actively involved with toys or a person. He races and chases, making up Border Collie herding games with any dog who will play. Penn is gentle with people, cuddly and eager to please. He is already responsive to commands and connects quickly to anyone he is with. Penn is about 35 pounds. He has no experience with cats so is afraid of them and at the present time, barks when meeting one. He is not lunging to hurt the cat but has no clue what to do so will take some patient training and positive introductions. He was a stray in PA. 

RHETT: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, Rhett is a loving dog with lots of energy! He is easy going but also absolutely loves chasing and racing and playing with other dogs. Rhett is focused on the people he meets and very eager to please so could easily be trained. He is smart and attentive and wants to be with you, friendly to everyone. Rhett is very good natured and happy go lucky. He is about 40 pounds and is good with cats. He was dropped at a PA shelter where someone had found him as a stray. His coat was clipped and will grow in to be beautiful. 

FAITH: A 1 year old Border Collie, Faith is so gentle and sweet, gently licking your hand as you set it near her. She'll quietly come up when you're not looking and give the greatest kisses, then retreat away from the action. She is a shy girl right but loves the soft touch of someone with her and is happiest with her canine friends. Faith comes to life chasing other Border Collies and absolutely loves having a dog friend so will be placed with another Border Collie, ideally. We are still working to support Faith's health fully before placing her in a new home. She will be placed with another dog or dog(s) in a quiet adult home. Faith is good with cats and will be placed in a hard fence situation only since the electronic fence would add to the skittishness already present. She is currently in the founder's home, enjoying life with the gang of Farm dogs. Faith and two other BC's came to us from a puppy mill situation in PA where they were fortunately rescued.

CHECKERZ: A 3 year old Border Collie, Checkerz has a wonderful personality and loves people. He is very outgoing, happy to meet everyone and happily say hello. He also loves toys and will retrieve a ball as well as chase a squeaky toy.  He is good natured and eager to connect with a person. Checkerz is good with other dogs but also would enjoy being the center of attention so could be a solo dog. He is super sweet, with a lot of personality and clearly a very smart boy. He will chase cats, herding them so needs border collie savvy cats or no cats in his new home. He is on the taller side and carrying some extra weight but will loose that quickly here. In his previous home, he was left alone for ten hours a day so did not get enough exercise or stimulation. He was relinquished to the Farm because his guardian was having surgery and could not care for him any longer. He came from PA. 

LUCY found her forever home with another Border Collie who likes to herd as much as she does. Together, they'll be chasing geese and enjoying agility and flyball, all of which will help build Lucy's confidence. She clearly loved her new person and became fast friends with her canine friend as they clicked into mental border collie games like they had lived together all their lives. Lucy will surely be adored and has found a person who can patiently guide her into fully trusting that life is great!  Lucy now lives in NY.

LUCY is a very very petite (approx 22lbs), 10 month old Border Collie who loves to herd. She is very focused and fast and since she is so small, able to move, turn and angle quickly. She is happiest herding other Border Collies or chasing and playing with them since she is clearly very smart and needs the mental stimulation of another smart dog. She loves people and attention, a real sweetheart who cuddles up with you. Outdoors she is all action, dashing after the other dogs to play and exploring everywhere. She is smart, fast, and full of energy. Lucy does have a skittish nature with new people and especially men so will go to a border collie savvy home with other herding dogs and with someone who can build her confidence. She could easily learn agility which would build her confidence but will need someone seasoned with this breed to work with her. Lucy is curious about cats but submissive. Lucy came from a home where she spent most of her day in a crate too small for her, from CT.

PALMER found his forever home, waiting patiently for just the right guardians who would understand his athletic, outgoing, energetic nature as well as his soft cuddly personality.

RAZZ found his forever home in his foster home where the guardians fell in love and while they tried to consider other homes as they came up, they were conflicted about sending him off and eventually felt so certain he was perfect for them, that he needed to stay there! He clearly loves his new family and his new furry friends, one of which is from the farm. They both are like husband and wife and now real buddies for life. Razz will be adored forever living in upstate NY.

RAZZ: A 2 yr old Border Collie/Aussie, Razz is a sweetheart, full of energy and ready to play. He loves people and is very very happy to be a lap dog with belly rubs and lots of licks in return. He is a wonderful, sweet dog. Razz will be placed with another dog since his energy needs are high. He is very physical in racing, running and wrestling with other dogs. Razz is about 50 pounds and is good with cats but very active and curious so can intimidate a cat not used to dogs. Razz will do best with a seasoned person who can build his confidence with strangers since he can over-react to meeting someone new sometimes.  He will be placed in an adult home. He came to the Farm from a MA shelter who felt he needed a home that understood his needs so would be best placed by a rescue.  Razz is in foster care in upstate NY and can be seen at the farm

He does not have a herding instinct, instead he enjoys exploring the fields and chase games with other dogs. Cobey is about 40 pounds and good with cats. He was a stray in PA. 

Miss MORGAN found her forever home with her foster mom who stepped up to open her home and heart to this sweet, remarkable girl. A real Friend of the Farm, her foster Mom has fostered before but quickly realized that Morgan had captured her heart in such a special way that she just couldn't live life without her.

Sometimes she just loves a roll in the grass; other times exploring every inch of the yard; and other times, she wants to be your shadow 'on duty', checking out all the action. Morgan loves to ride in the car and her favorite treat is american cheese - just say cheese and she heads for the fridge for her nightly treat. Morgan has lived as a solo dog but could also easily live with another dog and enjoys the companionship of Border Collies.

Morgan is a bit nervous with cats so will need calm cats so she can get used to them.  She came to the Farm, relinquished due to the change in life where her guardians are moving to an assisted living situation and cannot take her. She came from Staten Island NY. Morgan is being fostered in upstate NY where she's hiking and playing ball all day!

He came from upstate NY, relinquished directly to us from a relative who felt he should have a more normal pet life.

ELLE: A 5 month old Border Collie, Elle is a sweetheart, very sensitive and smart. She is a classic 'thinking' border collie where she observes everything and carefully decides what she wants to do. A brilliant young pup, Elle will do best with people who understand the sensitivity of the breed and with another Border Collie for play. As Elle matures, her confidence will build and her energy level will reflect the BC traits of action and focus. She is about 25 pounds. She was relinquished to the Farm by someone who had hoped to keep her, after taking her from someone else, but clearly realized she wasn't right for their family. She came to us from NY, originally from a farm family with working border collies.

TONI found her forever home with a pack of canine friends who love to play and chase and run like she does. She quickly made friends with all of them and raced around happily having a blast. Toni will enjoy lots of trail walks and exploring in Catskill park where she now lives with plenty of acres for fun. Toni now lives in NY.

TONI: A 10 month old Border Collie mix, Toni is a love bug, super affectionate and friendly to everyone. She is very smart and eager to learn anything and everything. Toni also loves to play, play, play, herding other dogs and racing and chasing so will be placed with another young dog so her needs are met.  She is a delightful, easy going, good natured girl that is a joy to be around. Toni is good with cats, and about 35 pounds. She was relinquished to the Farm due to a divorce.  She came from NYC.

NOEL found her forever home not far from her foster family, with friends who fell in love with her the day they met her. She won their hearts and now goes hiking with them on trails and cuddles in bed at night, loving every minute of her new life. She even goes to work with her new fur Dad and meets lots of people who adore her, too. Noel now lives in PA.

NOEL: A 1 year old Border Collie, Noel is a bit shy but outgoing when you approach her gently and with fun tones of play in your voice. She  is a real lover, gently kissing your face and wanting to be close. Quite a charmer, she wins over everyone she meets because she is so gorgeous but also so sweet. Noel gets excited by toys and loves being with canine friends.  She runs and plays, chasing other dogs and enjoying the fun of young border collie play. Noel is good with cats and will be placed in a hard fence situation only. She will be placed in an adult home that is fairly quiet, ideally with another Border Collie.  She is presently being fostered in NJ.   Noel and two other BC's came to us from a puppy mill situation in PA where they were fortunately rescued.

PAULIE: An 11 year old Border Collie, Paulie is a lover, a real sweetheart who loves to be with his people and his happiest with lots of attention. He is also quite comical, talking to you to get your attention and then quickly coming over for affection. He loves to trot around the yard exploring and has great recall to return whenever called. Paulie is good with other dogs and with cats. He was given up by his guardian who had health issues. He lived in one home since a puppy. He is being fostered in upstate NY and can be seen at the Farm. 

SUNNI: A 7 month old Border Collie (possibly mix), Sunni has come to life! This once shy girl is one happy character, chasing, racing, playing and even jumping the fence now that the snow is a bit higher. She is a delightful sweetheart, really outgoing and also full of energy. She loves playing with other dogs and will ideally be placed with another young dog. Sunni has been appropriately named because she is certainly full of brightness! She is about 25 pounds, very petite, and good with cats. She came from the Philadelphia PA shelter where thankfully the Director works with us frequently to help the Border Collies that land there. 

HUNTER found his forever home with another fun-loving dog just like him...hard to see them both with the sunny day...but they quickly raced around the fields like fast friends and were absolutely adorable to see in action. A fantastic pair, their new guardian was thrilled and loved Hunter's wonderful good nature as well as his gorgeous good looks. Hunter happily headed out the gate to his new life in NY where he'll have tons of fun playing and lots of love.

HUNTER: A 6 year old Border Collie Retriever mix, Hunter is a very gentle loving dog who enjoys every person he meets. He is super friendly and wants to be friends with everyone. His sweet nature is the first thing you notice about him and also his ability to get along in pretty much any situation. He is a real love. Hunter is not intense since he's a mix and does enjoy other dog play though could be happiest without the intense herders so any breed could be a good friend for him or he could live as a solo dog. Hunter is about 50 pounds and not good with cats. He came from upstate NY having been tied outside because a child in the house had allergies. He was outside during the recent cold weather, well below 0 degrees. We are very happy to have been able to help Hunter. 

ROXEY: A stunning 4 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Roxey is very oriented to playing and racing, full of energy. She is very friendly and looking for something to focus on with her mind. She would benefit from the stimulation of toy play or possibly sports like agility or flyball. Roxey is really enjoying life at the Farm, being outside to run free in the fields since she spent most of her time inside the house while her previous guardian worked. Roxey and her brother, Mickee, came to the Farm due to the lack of time for them.  She loves the water and will enjoy a good dunk in the tub or swim in the creek. Roxey will chase cats so will be placed in a non-cat home.  She was surrendered to the farm from a PA guardian who wanted more for them both. 

EME:  A petite 3 year old Border Collie, Eme is very very smart and very eager to interact with a person, playing ball and retrieving.  She has a number of commands and is very attentive to learning anything new.  Eme is super sweet, nudging you for attention and loves people  but can be a little shy at first.  She warms up quickly when she is focused playing ball. Eme is easy going and involved in everything around her. Eme is good with other dogs but could be a solo dog, too.  She is about 35 pounds, more petite than the typical size. She is good with cats. Eme's guardians were two elderly sisters who could no longer meet her needs but clearly adored her and provided a great life. She came to the Farm from NJ.

KIPP found his forever home with a wonderful family who drove all the way from Maryland to come meet him and take him home! He waited patiently at the Farm for just the right home where he'll get tons of love, endless play with his jolly ball and the very best:  Kipp will get to herd sheep at their farm, doing exactly what he was trained to do and loves to do!! We are so thrilled for Kipp and his new guardians who will enjoy this very special Border Collie for the rest of his life. Kipp now joins another Border Collie, Emma and a canine friend, Ginger. And, Kipp will team up with Emma to share the duties of herding and even teach her what this seasoned pro knows all too well...how to herd!

KIPP: A 7 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Kipp is a classic Border Collie who connects to his person and looks for direction. He is very very responsive, eager for direction and happy to be a constant companion. Kipp also loves balls, especially jolly balls and soccer balls which he will toss into the air non-stop and catch and re-toss. He is very focused and clearly loves the 'work' of toy play. Kipp has been trained in herding with whistle commands and herds sheep flawlessly, clearly a confident, skilled dog. He is a wonderful dog, so easy to be with and relaxed when he comes inside. He is very loving and responds instantly to an encouraging word or touch. He is about 45 pounds, and is a serious cat herder, not going to hurt them but needs bc savvy cats who won't mind being herded step by step, following their every move. Kipp does not tolerate male dogs well and is best with female Border Collies but most likely would do best as the only dog. Kipp is one of three dogs, abandoned by a breeder to a NY all breed rescue who then fortunately wanted to work with the Farm.

FLASHE won over the hearts of his new family as quick as it took to hop into their laps for kisses. The ever agile, fast, Flashe cuddled his way into a wonderful new home where he'll have tons of love and also tons of action trying agility. He'll also get to enjoy their boat and possibly learn to swim!! Flashe now lives in CT.

FLASHE, A petite 1 yr old Border Collie mix, Flashe is all energy, able to fly up right off the floor into your arms. He is super fast, very agile and full of energy. His size and focus would make him an excellent sport candidate for agility. Flashe is totally people focused and eager to bond and can learn quickly. He is a wonderful, fun, classic Border Collie mix except he is shorter than the average BC. Very focused and ready to go, Flashe needs a job and will be placed with another Border Collie or in a very active home. He is great with other dogs and good with cats. Flashe was relinquished to the Farm after his guardian died. He came from PA.

Max gets along with other dogs, is very curious about his environment, and loves to provide hugs and kisses.  At this young age, he still has lots of energy for an active family, and because of the mix will make a wonderful companion - he would probably enjoy another canine friend if possible.  Please consider making Max a permanent member of your family -
