He's a great, smart, very together BC who aims to please and in exchange for some fun time, he'll give you his heart. He's very adaptable and handles new things well, friendly with everyone. He is a classic, good- natured BC who bonds with a person quickly and enjoys an active lifestyle and also has a great recall to return when on hikes. Domino is fine with other dogs and has lived with 10 non - BC's but really enjoys one-on-one attention or being with someone who 'gets' who he is which is brilliant. He's got it all. Domino also loves to swim. He is about 50 pounds and won't hurt cats but will herd and chase so best with dog savvy cats. Domino lived in one home since a pup, bought from a well known VA breeder. His West VA guardians felt they could not meet the needs of a BC and surrendered him to the Farm. 

CARSON, an 11 mo old border collie, is a sweet energetic guy.  He was an only dog for his whole life, so is learning about dogs, and really enjoying having someone to play with.  He is not an intense herder and is just learning how much fun toys can be. Carson has lots of puppy energy to share, but is very food motivated and easily bonds to his person.  He is very responsive, is eager to please and has a personality that is making everyone smile in his foster world. He loves to go in the car and is a real snuggler.  In his old home, he rang a bell at the door to go outside.  He is approx 40lbs and is good with cats.  He came from a shelter in NJ that loves to work with us for all their border collies.   He is temporarily being fostered in South Jersey waiting for room at the Farm

RIO: A 2 year old Border Collie, Rio is a sweetheart. He's fun and likes to join in whatever is going on though he can be a little worried meeting new people thinking he's done something wrong.  He is a very loving boy but very submissive and needs reassurance. Rio loves to make up ball games, entertaining himself with a toss and catch and toss again...it's very cute to watch. He is very responsive to whatever is asked of him and happy to be with his person but he will only be placed in an adult home that is calm.  He's great off leash and loves to hike, too. Rio is smart and active but not overly intense, happy to be a companion. He is good with other dogs or could be a solo dog. He is 40 pounds and best with dog savvy cats. He came to the Farm from NJ where he was tried in geese chasing but was a better companion. 

YATES: A petite 2 year old Border Collie, Yates is the happiest BC around, enjoying hikes in the woods with his canine buddies and learning that life is great. He's blossomed into a sweet, playful, easy guy.  He's got a curious nature about everything that is going on around him and with help from his person, he's gained confidence to trust trying new things.  He still needs help from someone skilled to guide him but he's very willing to be brave in new situations, meeting people and going places . Yates goes up to new people expecting great things to come his way!  A good natured, sweet guy, his tail now never stops wagging! He is good with cats and about 35 pounds. He would be happiest with another young BC for play, wrestling and running games as well as a quieter adult home without a lot of chaos. He came from the Texas confiscation in April, having lived with 167 BC's so we're excited to see such great progress so quickly.

KYLE: A 3 year old Border Collie, Kyle is a super friendly boy who loves people. He also loves playing with toys of any kind, eager to play as much as you like. He is good natured and loves attention, a cuddly BC. Kyle is good with other dogs, eager to say hello but then gives them their space and settles nicely with a canine companion. He is focused but not overly intense. Kyle is a tall 45 pound boy and is good with cats. He was picked up running at large in PA and the guardian signed him over. Kyle had a severe flea infestation so lost a lot of hair but all that will grow back and he'll clearly be a gorgeous rough coat BC.

BEAU: A 3 year old Border Collie, Beau's making the best of his party hat, chasing the ball perfectly! He's got a great spirit and loves to play. He had surgery on his tail and we'll soon have new pictures. He is a charming boy who loves people and attention. He's curious and good natured, not overly intense, more companion oriented.

He'll play ball endlessly as long as it's thrown!  He is smart, focused and bonds quickly, clearly happy to be with his person. Parker fits with other dogs beautifully though could be happy as a solo dog if his person is active and into fun. He is good off leash and would enjoy hiking.   Parker has lived in one home since a pup but is being given up to the Farm due to a move to an apartment. He had been chained outside to a dog house but is happy to be back in a home, at the Farm. He will want to play with cats, not herd them but play, so probably best with cats who like dogs. Parker is about 38 pounds, a smaller bc mix.

BELLA: An 8 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Bella is brilliant! She has all kinds of commands by hand signal and tunes right into her person instantly eager to please.

Bella is a very smart, very good natured BC and loves everyone she meets, happy to join her person for any activity they are doing. She also loves the car and is good with other dogs though could be very happy as the solo dog. She has lost a good deal of hearing at this point of her life (common for mature BC's) but still hears a whistle and turns on a dime to come right to you. She is about 40 pounds and good with cats. Bella's NY guardians are divorcing which meant a move to a condo, not the right situation for Bella.

HAYLE is a very focused girl looking for her mission. She's surely got a purpose and work to do! Probably no surprise since she is named after our Haley, who led our pack of 18 as the most benevolent leader, clearly telling the dogs all the rules. She taught us and every camper who visited GHF, all about canine language. So, little Miss Hayle is at the Farm, waiting for just the right home to show itself and meanwhile, she's learning about adult BC's and life with a big pack. This smart girl of 7 pounds is already showing her big presence, calmly watching everything around her, as it unfolds. She will only be placed in a BC savvy home with another BC.

She is a gentle girl with people and a player with dogs. She loves to romp and chase.  While Zarah is a smart girl, she is also a shy dog who gets overwhelmed easily by new situations. She needs a simple life with her own yard, her person and a canine friend. She is not a candidate for a chaotic home setting or busy suburban area. Zarah is not overly intense or hyper just more playful and she loves having a canine buddy and will ONLY be placed with a young friend.  Having a dog friend helps her relax in her surroundings and be more comfortable. She does not enjoy car rides so really is content at home. She is about 35 pounds and good with cats.  Zarah was relinquished from NY with her littermates.

KIERA: A petite 3 year old Border Collie, Kiera is a sweet, sensitive, gentle girl who loves attention. She is happy to be right by your side for affection and gazes right into your eyes to bond quickly. She is easy going, smart and likes to be with her person.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

She loves to go for walks and is happy to say hello to people, a great ambassador for the BC breed.

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.

FINN, a fabulous 1 1/2 year old Border Collie popped up in the northeast needing a new home, just too much for a mother of young children. One of our intake team went to evaluate this great little guy and offered to foster him cause he fit with her pack so well.

Vick is focused and attentive but not overly intense. He loves cuddles and being the center of attention but is also happy to relax easily when you're not there. He's a very soft BC so needs someone who understand that talking to him rather than heavy direction is just plenty so he can understand what's wanted. He's great off leash and comes instantly when called. He's also good with cats. Vic is about 35 pounds. He came to the Farm from a NY guardian who felt he would be happier living with less dogs. 

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!

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's a lively character who will blossom beautifully.

KIMA:  A petite 2 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.

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.

NICK found the best life he could imagine - with two canine friends, one of which is his new BC girlfriend, Annabelle, that loves him! They played and played and raced and chased outside and inside the adoption office like two long lost friends - it was adorable to see! Both were tired out after their fun time together and ready to head home. Plus, he'll be the constant companion to his new FurMom and enjoy plenty of hikes and playing each day as well as plenty of car rides for dog travel trips! She knows exactly how this sweet boy likes to have fun, in the same style as her other dogs! Nick now lives in NY. We're thrilled for Nick who is now happier than ever, a long way off from this hard start so sick the first month coming into rescue. He'll clearly be adored forever now.

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 is so happy, a great natured dog.  He loves other dogs but doesn't like a dog to overpower him so does best with playful, softer dogs. He would be happiest with a canine friend since he has tons of play energy.  He is 50 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 abandoned.  Nick is very curious about cats, his enthusiasm can be intimidating for a cat so probably best with dog savvy cats.

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.

He does prefer hanging with men since he's been the center of attention in this home since a pup. Dylan's previous guardian had a change in his work situation which left him alone long periods which were not good so he was relinquished to the Farm.

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.

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.

SADIE: A 13 year old Border Collie, Sadie is a doll, ready to say hello and ready to catch a ball, too! She is very easy going, confident and good natured, adjusting easily to a new situation. 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! She is used to living with a lot of dogs so very tolerant. She was surrendered to the Farm due to an unforeseen hardship with her PA guardian who has to give up all 9 of her dogs. Sadie is about 50 pounds ,carrying some extra weight. She is good with cats.

TAZ: An 11 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Taz is an easy- going, happy, wonderful boy who loves his ball and loves his people. He's really really sweet and very gentle. An affectionate boy, he fits in wherever he goes, enjoying other dogs or hanging with people. He has lived in one home since a pup and never wandered off the unfenced property. A super friendly BC, Taz is close to ready for adoption, just growing some hair back from a bad flea allergy.  Taz's previous NY guardian moved and could not take him along. He is good with cats.

RAINE: This little BC mix pup is coming to the states with a wonderful home waiting for him!!  We received this email from Saudi Arabia and knew we could help. With a quick check of the puppy file of adopters patiently waiting for rescue BC mix pups, the perfect home was his!  He'll be living on 27 acres in Maine with another canine friend and be the constant companion to his new guardians. We'll have pictures to share upon his arrival at the Boston airport!  This little overseas traveler is about to enjoy all the love he deserves, thanks to an incredible dog lover who contacted GHF.

"Hello -  I am an American living and working in Saudi Arabia.  A young border collie mix appeared in the garage of my house about 4 weeks ago during a sandstorm.  I've taken him in and have tried, unsuccessfully, to find him a home (and also put up flyers, hoping he was lost and might be claimed).  He is super sweet/wonderful and I want to find a good home for him - rather than turn him over to the Bahrain SPCA.  They do great work, but I worry, with the unstable political situation here and many expats leaving and abandoning their dogs, that he will become one of the many dogs stuck in the shelter.  

Anyway, I came across your website last night (was moved by the work you're doing and story about how you started it) and would really love it if you all could take him and find him a good home.  I would be willing to fly him to the U.S....  "

BRADLEY: A 6 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Bradley is an adorable guy with great enthusiasm for everything! He's a bit like an overgrown puppy, excited to meet other dogs and happy to say hello to everyone he meets. He is good natured and discovering all kinds of new things in life, being at the Farm. Bradley likes meeting other dogs but is used to be a solo dog.  He is curious and responds to attention eagerly though he has not had any formal training. Bradley is a frisbee nut, totally loving to play with the frisbee or balls! He will need a dog savvy guardian to help shape him to adjust to living in a home since he was chained outside in his previous life. The previous guardians felt having two BC's in the house was too much chaos so he became an outside dog during the day and in at night. Though he lived on 40 acres, he was only allowed to run when the guardians were with him,  so most of the time, he was restricted.  He comes to the whistle. The people had horses which he left alone, for the most part. Bradley will be placed with adults who can help him blossom. He is good with cats and good in the car. He came from NY. He is about 45 pounds. 

BRENNER landed right where he's supposed to be - with his new guardians! He'll be their constant companion, day in and day out, enjoying plenty of ball play and lots of walks. A perfect combination couldn't suit Brenner any better. They instantly fell in love with his sweet nature and playful puppy like antics eager to get the ball. But, it was all that attentive eye-gazing charm that only Brenner knows how to do, that won their hearts fully. He now lives in NY with a great yard to call his own and two people who adore him! We're really happy for this good natured boy to have landed after waiting almost a year for his forever home. Ironically, he wasn't even on their list to meet but once here, he sure seemed like he would fit perfectly with what they were hoping for and he most certainly, did!

BRENNER: A 7 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.

CHASE: A petite 10 month old Border Collie with papers, Chase lives up to his name - all action! He is fast and focused and can turn on a dime. He loves to run with other BC's and herd them as they race around, too. Chase would be an incredible sport dog with his size and focus and people orientation. He is super friendly, good natured and eager to say hello to everyone. Chase is smart as a whip and ready to learn whatever is in front of him, a very responsive boy. He's also quite the charmer - everyone who meets him, loves him. Chase likes to talk to you, also, with short little barks to get your attention and if you ask him what he wants, he'll answer! He would be a blast to have an extensive vocabulary of words upon which he could respond. Chase needs another young BC friend to handle his energy and/or an outlet for his mind with someone who understands this breed. He is a classic high energy young BC. Chase has not yet been tested with cats. He came to the Farm from NJ guardians who felt he was too much to handle with their 6 year old BC. He was a beloved companion to his FurDad, going everywhere with him. Chase loves the water and dashes in, almost as fast as on land!

l

Little ALEC happily cuddled with his new FurMom & FurDad, happy to be the center of attention. He showed off all his brilliance with toys and treats but again, enjoyed their lap and love most of all. This sweet boy will have 7 acres to call his own with plenty of space to explore which he loves. And, in a few months, they'll be back for a BC buddy cause they feel two Border Collies are happier together than one so Alec will have someone to race, chase and run in all that great property. He now lives in NY

DIEGO: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, Diego is a very smart, attentive boy who is great with people and very eager to please. He loves attention and is super affectionate. Diego is also quite a herder, with a keen interest in livestock however he's too strong on the sheep to work on a farm so will be placed in an active home. He has wonderful recall for hiking and loves other dogs, actively herding them and engaged in everything going on around him. Diego will be placed in a more rural setting since that is what he's used to and can easily jump fences.  He is about 45 pounds and good with cats. Diego came to the Farm from a MD guardian with 500 sheep who could not manage an untrained BC. 

DAISY charmed her new guardians instantly with her sweetness and beauty and athletic nature! Her new FurMom will be with her all the time since she works from home and her son plans to keep Daisy busy with lots of hiking. They live on a lake so Daisy will have plenty of chances for swimming, too! We're so happy for this wonderful girl who can now have 26 acres to call her own and people who will love her forever. She now lives in NY.

DAISY: A 7y old border collie, Daisy is a sweet girl that just loves all people and will follow you around everywhere. She also loves to play with toys of all kinds and will retrieve frisbees and balls.  She  is always ready to go and she is great off leash, a great hiker.  Daisy has excellent recall and loves to swim. She is an active girl and wants to be a constant companion to her person. She has conversational commands and knows them all: "let's go get the mail", "I'll be right back", "where's the kids?, "stay with me" and comes to her name easily. She has been raised around cattle and horses on a 146 acre property and done just fine with both.  Her previous PA guardians are older now and feel they don't have the energy or time to give her what she needs. She will chase cats but is good with them.  Daisy will be placed on another rural property since she's used to that. She is about 50 pounds.

ROSS: A 10 month old Border Collie mix, Ross is the tiniest little guy, only 10 pounds and full of personality. He has a big hello to everyone and loves to join in the fun with other dogs. He was so excited to meet 25 pound Cricket, a farm dog, and ran as fast as possible, making up games with her. He's a little more cautious with normal size BC's, but a pretty happy guy nonetheless. Ross is a pocket size BC mix pup, happy to be in your arms and check out the world. He is interested in toys and curious about everything. Ross is fine with cats, a bit afraid. At only 10 pounds, he's smaller than many cats himself. He was a stray in CT picked up by animal control who contacted us for help. This little guy walks on his hind legs , arms down, standing straight as an arrow with his little front legs straight down at his sides.. a great trick dog! He is interested in cats and will chase but not hurt them.
