Little
Miss Mae found her new life quickly soon as she met two loving
guardians who were searching for a canine friend to join them. Their
hearts were wide open and upon seeing Mae, they exclaimed in delight, they
had found their next beloved friend! Mae totally agreed, happy to be
cuddled and adored and then showed them all her puppy ways of racing and
playing non-stop! Mae will have 3 acres to call her own and be their
constant companion. She now lives in upstate NY.
MAE: A 4 month
old Border Collie mix, Mae is a
wonderfully active young girl, she loves everyone she meets, humans, kids dogs
and cats. Loves toys, and a good game of tug. She
is still working on the potty training, but is quickly learning that if
she rings the bell she gets to go out. Outside she gets the zoomies
often, runs and jumps everything she can. She completely loves her
person, never far from us. She does nip, but can easily be
distracted with a toy. She crates wonderful, and knows that when in
her crate it is time to settle down. Mae is trying to find out how
far she can go as any puppy would. She will respond to a no, but you may
have to say it a couple of times. She is working on a sit, but that
is really all we have asked of her. Mae truly enjoys life, she does
great in a car, she mostly sleeps when taking a ride. Because of
Mae's start in life she really needs to have her people around her, she
doesn't have separation issues, but wants to be with someone. Mae plays
endlessly with other dogs and is currently enjoying life in her foster
home with many German Shepherds who keep her occupied. Mae is 18
pounds, a petite girl and was originally a stray in the Watertown NY
area. |

GREGG
was beside himself with doggie glee when he met his new canine friends, it
was marvelous to see. They wrestled, and rolled and chased and played like
they lived together their whole lives. His new FurMom was so pleased to
see them sitting side by side within minutes, after long periods of play.
She fell in love soon as she met him, watching his graceful race
around the Farm fields, a happy, playful, joyful dog - exactly what she
wanted to add to her life. Gregg now lives in upstate NY with his new
family. We've already seen great shots of Gregg in his new life!
GREGG: A 1 year old Border Collie mix,
Gregg is all action. He loves to play, play, play and really needs someone
who is physically active as his guardian. He is strong and smart and bonds
quickly, really looking for a person. He is good with other dogs and could
join other canine friends but is most eager to find a person who
understands him. Gregg is a very affectionate guy, too and really enjoys
belly rubs and attention, giving back as much as he gets. He is about 45
pounds and a bit taller than the average BC. He is good with
cats. He came to
the Farm from a PA shelter where he had been abandoned cause he herded the
toddlers.

COSBY
found the perfect home with another alum from GHF, Cara. His new guardians
read about him on the site and saw his gorgeous pictures and intuitively
felt he would fit perfectly. Cosby did just that, happily winning their
hearts instantly. He and Cara are playing and he's lovin' his new life in
Maine, as their constant companion cuddling and then racing and playing
with his new canine friends, Cara and Newman. We're thrilled for this
sweet guy who deserved a wonderful life. Special
thanks to Susan Monnelly for making the meeting of Cosby and his new
guardians so easy!
COSBY: A 2 year old Border Collie,
Cosby is a clown, a fun loving, happy guy who loves absolutely everyone.
If he had another name, it would be JOY..he is fun and energetic and
playful, all rolled into one. Cosby is not as intense as some BC's with
herding, instead he's just full of energy. He loves to play with other
dogs and toys and is curious about pretty much everything. He is very good
natured. Cosby has no basics in obedience so is like one big puppy who is
ready to learn, so he will need someone patient to guide him. He is fine
with cats and about 35 pounds. Cosby was a breeding dog dumped at a
shelter in PA so no one put any time in developing his manners but
all that can come easily - he is very relationship oriented and so eager
to please.

HOOPER
happily headed out to his new car, hopped in with his new guardians and
laid right down on the dog bed in the back of the car, clearly set to go!
He was so ready for his new life and once they met him, they knew he'd fit
just right with them. He'll be their constant companion, exploring 18
acres he can call his own and being adored for his sweet, gentle, smart
nature. We are so happy for Hooper who really had a hard start, in rough
shape when he came to us, and now a happy, about to be totally loved
guy!!! Hooper now lives in MA. Way to go Hoop!!
HOOPER: A
5 1/2 year old Border Collie mix, Hooper is all about love and people. He
just loves everyone and is very affectionate, giving back more than he
gets, a happy guy who loves head scratches and back rubs. He's also quite
good at showing off his roll-over with a very funny bark and turn, he hits
the ground to roll and then up for his treat, really comical. He is
a sweetheart. Hooper is fine with other dogs but much more focused on
people so would be happy with someone around most of the time.
He
enjoys a good walk and is happy to be by your side relaxed and content.
Hooper is good with cats and about 40 pounds. He was a stray in
PA in a shelter that works with the Farm.

Little
SKEETER wanted a big job where he could really help people open
their hearts. Soon as he came to camp to say hello, all the campers knew
this was one special little pup - an 'old soul' who needed just the right
place to accomplish his mission. He won over the heart of one of our
campers, a special woman with a wonderful family with one child who is
blind. She is the full-time caretaker for her son, along with her other
dog, Maya who loyally stays by his side. Once we met Skeeter and felt what
he wanted, it was so clear that this was the home where he was needed.
This wiggly little pup settled quietly and easily with his new FurMom,
enjoying lectures and activities and even the trails, as if he had been
with her all his life. It was an amazing match to see happen! Skeeter now
lives in the Pittsburgh area.
SKEETER is a jolly,
adorable 2 month old Border Collie/Aussie mix. His gorgeous
coloration and his sassy, outgoing temperament draw attention everywhere
he goes! He loves to romp and play or cuddle too. He is smart, focused and
interacts beautifully with other dogs. He was bought from a farmer on a
whim by a woman with an elderly Chihuahua that did not appreciate the play
style of herding oriented puppy, and she relinquished him to Glen Highland
after less than a week. We are delighted to be able to place him in an
appropriate home. |
 |
 |
COMETT,
a 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, found the perfect life where he'll be the
constant companion to his new guardians and enjoy 80 acres to call his
own, helping them with their blueberry farm! He'll join in all the
activities plus enjoy a great life full of love and fun as their beloved
BC. Big fans of the breed, they knew his charming nature and smart, sweet
ways would fit their lives perfectly. Of course, Comett came for cuddling
as well as action, herding the soccer ball! |

 |
ROSEE
found the perfect home with people who really understand the breed and
will give her the chance to do herding and agility, both sports she will
surely excel in doing. Rosee is joining another BC, Quinn, adopted 5 years
ago from the Farm and another canine friend, Magic. They all clearly loved
each other, enjoying good chasing and racing around the fields with big
hellos as if they'd been together all their lives. Her new guardians were
thrilled to have such a great trio! She now lives in MA with one of our
dear friends of the Farm who we know will love and adore her.
ROSEE: A 2 year old Border Collie,
Rosee is brilliant, all about focusing on the action and what her person
is asking of her. She aims to please and would be a marvelous agility dog,
fast and focused. She is also very balanced and relates well to people,
easily and comfortably. Rosee is smart and fun, classic BC, with strong
herding instincts and will be placed in a Border Collie savvy home that is
active and understands her needs. She is great with other dogs and could
easily join another BC friend or be a solo dog in an active home. Rosee is
good with dog savvy cats. She was a stray in a NY shelter.

SHEBA
& JETER will live happily together for the rest of their lives,
joining their new guardians who fell in love with them immediately. Their
sweet nature and wonderful play style together won their hearts instantly.
They traveled from Virginia hoping to find two new friends to join their
lives and after a day and then an overnight with Sheba & Jeter, they
were certain this pair was it! Sheba and Jeter loved all the attention and
happily cuddled with them and played with toys, clearly at ease and happy
to again be with people who would adore them.
SHEBA, age 8 and JEETER, age 5
are two Border Collies who have lived their lives together in one home,
happily enjoy a family and fun together. They are very smart and love
people, of course they also love toys. Jeeter is very playful and loves to
chase with other dogs as well as retrieve anything thrown his way. He also
loves to swim and join in with a group of BC's, and their herding games.
He is a cuddly guy, easy going and a great companion. Sheba is very smart
and observant. She thinks through whatever is going on and can be shy with
new situations and people. She is the leader of the pair, like usual with
a female and male. Sheba enjoys retrieving toys but at this time, her
exercise is limited. Sheba
has been treated for Heartworm and done beautifully so has a clean bill of
health and is ready for play and a new home!
Sheba and Jeeter are about 40
pounds and good with cats. They came from the Rochester NY area
where they were abandoned at a shelter that works with GHF.

SPENCER
found his new guardians right at camp when they came back this summer with
the idea of adding a new canine friend to their lives. Spencer quickly fit
their family and became great pals with his canine buddy, Abby, racing
along the trails and enjoying all the activities. Within short order,
Spencer was sleeping in their tent, lounging on their laps at lectures and
spending each day of camp with them so it was only fitting, that when camp
ended, home he went! Spencer now lives in MA! We'll see him this summer at
Camp Border Collie for Kids when his guardians return as volunteers!
Spencer is 7 lively, classic BC's in energy and play, they love everyone they meet,
too. They are very outgoing and friendly, easy to enjoy instantly as the
good natured dogs they are, happy to go for a ball or hang with you.
Spencer is the ball guy, a marvelous catch for any toss Spencer is super sweet and will be a joy to live with,
both very responsive to people and adaptable to new situations. They are
great with dogs and good with cats. Both are around 45 pounds. They
came to the Farm from New Hampshire from a family who no longer had time
for them. They lived in one home since they were pups from a
nearby breeder.
|

Special thanks to one of our caretakers who
fostered Glory - Kay DeFlumere, her husband Mike and daughter Cori, who
made sure Glory felt that love was hers to have! |
GLORY
found a great life with guardians who really understand rescue dogs,
having all rescues in their family. She'll join three canine lab friends
who all came to meet her (one is camera shy). Glory knew she would quickly
rise to lead that trio with her brilliant Border Collie mind and her new
FurMom and FurDad agreed since their beloved BC had done just the same
thing years ago. Glory Glory Halleujiah, this little girl will be loved
and adored forever, as she so richly deserves. She now lives in upstate
NY.
GLORY: A 4 month old Border Collie,
Glory is a gem. She is sweet, affectionate, cuddly and eager to be loved
and give love back. Glory is a lovely little BC who is learning all about
being a puppy and enjoying a loving family. She is smart and focused,
though more easy going than some pups. She'd be a great companion and
happy to have a canine friend, too. Glory is fine with cats and about 20
pounds. She was dumped by an Amish breeder who didn't want her or
two adults, Genie and Gradie. We were very happy we could bring
them to GHF and as always, stunned to hear the comment from the breeder
who turned them over: "I'm glad you took them cause I hate to kill
the ones I like". The world is a very scary place for dogs bred
by puppy mill oriented breeders and we are relieved that these three made
it out of that hell.

GUNNAR
waited over a year to find the life that suits him and boy did he! Gunnar
accompanies his new guardian for trail work all throughout the New England
area, experiencing a dog paradise day in and day out. We are so thrilled
for his new guardian who really wanted a beloved companion to join him,
sleeping in tents and cabins and living this unusual life. And, we are
thrilled for Gunnar who will absolutely love this life cause it suits his
unconventional nature...a perfect pairing for sure! Gunnar is now on
location with Magey, adopted not long ago by another trail worker who also
wanted an independent Border Collie to join him. It's an
amazing thing to see snapshots of their world. Congrats Gunnar and
Gordon!
A very special thanks to Ann Cattaneo who
helped make this possible, giving Gunnar as much time as he needed to land
this wonderful new life.
GUNNAR
is a 1 1/2 year
old Border Collie with ABCA papers who is incredibly agile, smart and
focused. He can cross a field at high speed to retrieve a toy and be back
in seconds..he is super fast. He also jumps all four feet off the ground
and happily takes cues to be obedient, too. Gunnar
has become quite the frisbee dog, loving to leap in the air for any catch!
Gunnar loves to snowshoe
and skijore, happy to be outside and on the move..he's the perfect hiking
companion. He's a character too: one time while snowshoeing in the
woods, he ran off the trail to grab a big stick that was actually a branch
hanging off the tree. He was off all fours hanging from his
mouth shaking the branch! Gunnar
likes people and enjoys a close interaction with someone who plays with
him and challenges his mind. He is very affectionate and loving, a real
snuggler, very gentle and good natured. He is good with cats. Gunnar
would be happiest as the solo dog and in an adult home where he can enjoy
activities with his person. He
was relinquished from guardians with a houseful of kids who he enjoyed
immensely. Gunnar is being fostered in Vermont.

SITKA
& KENAI found an incredible life together with their new
guardian where they'll join him as constant companions at the 400 acre
campus where he's on the faculty. They'll be a part of the daily routine
there with the teenagers at school, accompanying him to classes and
enjoying on-site living during the week and then get to go to his 150 acre
farm and play, explore and run all day. He fell in love with their great
spirits and knew that he wanted them to enjoy the doggie paradise he could
offer which suits them so well since they've always had the freedom off
leash to enjoy rural living. Sitka and Kenai seemed clear they had found
the person they were looking for to make their forever life possible! They
now live in the New England area.
SITKA and KENAI are
very petite, 2 1/2 year old half-sister border collies with ABCA papers.
They have been with each other their whole lives. These two are
outstanding in their sense of relationship to their person, totally aware
of what is being asked of them at any time. They are totally
focused, super smart and in tune, very classic Border Collies. They
have lived in an unfenced situation, never roaming far, able to walk off
leash down the street, moving to the side as cars pass, waiting patiently
for the command to continue. Their obedient nature is quite obvious
when you meet them but they also have a comical side where they love to
jump in your lap for attention and eagerly shadow your every move. They
are super sweet and are completely focused on people, getting along with
everyone they meet. They are good with other dogs though can be a little
bossy, like classic females. Neither care about toys at all. They'd
be great hiking partners and need a life where they are constant
companions to their person. Sitka and Kenai will be adopted out
together into a rural setting since they are used to having large acreage
as their playground. They are 30-35 pounds and not good with cats. Both came to the Farm directly when their NY guardian
planned to move west.

SADEY
found exactly the life she wanted: with a loving family...the constant
companion to her FurDad...a world to explore on 65 acres...sheep, chickens
and horses to 'manage'....AND A POND! Watching her settle inside in their
home was wonderful but watching her delight in having her own water
paradise, was fantastic! Sadie turned for a brief look good-bye as she
stood on the dock about to start her new life. It was a wonderful thing to
witness unfold. Sadey now lives in upstate NY, not far from the Farm.
SADEY is 5 yr
old lively, classic border collie in energy and play, she loves everyone
she meets. Sadey is very outgoing and friendly, easy to enjoy instantly as the
good natured dog she is, happy to go for a ball or hang with you. Sadey is
a water girl, absolutely in love with any water anywhere, a comical girl for
sure. She is super sweet and will be a joy to live with, very responsive to people and adaptable to new situations.
She is
great with dogs and good with cats. Around 45 pounds. Sadey and
Spenser came to the Farm from New Hampshire from a family who no longer had time
for them. They lived in one home since they were pups from a
nearby breeder. |

Wonderful
RUBY found her forever home with a Friend of the Farm who has
enjoyed the Farm at Camp and this summer, asked about Ruby, who caught her
eye on the site. After spending time with Ruby, she came back for an
overnight visit to be sure Ruby and her boy, Smokey, would be the play
friends that she imagined they could be, from everything she had heard and
read. All of us who know Ruby, knew she'd clinch the deal cause when Ruby
finds a friend for playing, Ruby can play, play, play. She's certainly no
old 8 year old! It was a joy to see Ruby and Smokey together acting like
they'd lived life together forever, tugging with toys, vocalizing as they
physically pushed each other in play and then happily sitting right before
their furMom, content to be in her life. A great adoption for us to
witness and a great life for Ruby, who so deserves it! She now lives in
NJ.
RUBY:
An 8 year old Border Collie mix (possibly collie), Ruby is a lovely girl
who is gentle and affectionate with every person she meets. She absolutely
loves people and would be so happy to accompany her person wherever they
go. Ruby would be a fantastic resident nursing home dog or office dog
since she greets everyone with the same sweetness and good manners. She is
very smart, great with other dogs and enjoys a good run, a graceful beauty
she is as she races across the field. Ruby is too enamored with cats,
watching them endlessly so will do better without cats, however she'd love
a canine friend. She is 50 pounds. Ruby was adopted from the Farm
six years ago but returned years later because the family's lifestyle
changed, leaving her alone 10-12 hours a day which was horrible for Ruby. |

CEE
CEE found her person, someone who would adore her and enjoy her as
a beloved canine companion day in and day out, exactly what this wonderful
girl wanted. Once Cee Cee gave him that 'old soul' gentle look that only
Cee Cee can do, that was pretty much it! She happily hopped into his car
and headed off to upstate NY to start a new life, no longer left to stray
on the streets. And, what's most exciting is that Cee Cee will get a
chance to earn her therapy credentials so she can go into the library to
work with children in the reading programs where dogs encourage more
interest and better reading, as the kids read TO the dog! Cee Cee
will share those moonbeam eyes and sweet, gentle ways and surely help many
children as she also shares her heart with her new guardian.
CEE CEE: A 6 year old Border
Collie, Cee Cee is all about people! She loves being with everyone and
would be a fabulous companion, happy to go anywhere her person goes. She
is super sweet and smart, very focused though her enjoyment is really
being with people. Cee Cee is great with dogs, gets along easily and fits
in with all of them well. She is a gentle girl with plenty of energy for
exploring outdoors...she loves a good hike. Cee Cee is about 40 pounds and
not good with cats. She was in a MD shelter, where her guardian did
not reclaim her.

DUSTIE
found a great home with a furMom who understands the breed and is thrilled
to have him join her in her geese chasing business in Ct. He'll be
working beaches and large private properties as well as public places,
racing after those birds in pursuit. He'll also get plenty of ball play
and time to be a loved BC, lounging with his new family. He happily sat on
the couch, giving kisses to say it's a "go", then landed right
on the floor, ready for a ball or a bird! We're really happy for Dustie to
have such a challenging active life.
DUSTIE: A
4 year old Border Collie, Dustie is a smart, focused Border Collie who
responds well to attention. He gets along with other Border Collies well.
Dustie loves balls, frisbee and toys of any kind, a classic BC. He is an
incredible ball guy, who is fast and focused going after any ball toss
sent his way. Dustie loves people and toys pretty much the same so will
easily enjoy a new life with someone who understands his BC brilliance and
desire to play. He could be a solo dog or join other BC's in a BC
savvy home. Dustie is a sweet guy who loves to be in the center of
the action, for fun and for love. Dustie is OK with dog savvy cats. He was abandoned at a PA shelter.
Dustie learned all about frisbee in his foster home and was superb
at it!

FLASH
found a new life where he'll have a Border Collie friend and two guardians
who really understand the breed. Plus, he'll be the constant companion to
his new FurDad, joining him in everything he does which we know Flash will
love! Flash met his new guardians and canine friend and clearly voted a
big YES to joining their lives. His current guardian who adopted Flash
years ago from the Farm, was thrilled to know he'd be loved and live out a
wonderful life. Flash will now lives in VA
FLASH:
A 7 year old Border Collie, Flash is a good natured, balanced dog who
enjoys everything from cuddles to tug games. He hikes off leash
beautifully around dogs, deer and wildlife, trained to stay with his
person. He has basic obedience skills and knows lots of tricks too!
(He’s even been a star, in Milk Bone magazine ads and on a TV
show.) Flash loves everyone and his adorable full body wag will melt your
heart. He loves belly rubs and hugs and gives lots of kisses, too.
He is a really sweet, smart Border Collie. Even
though he has border collie smarts, he has a very enjoyable mellow
demeanor and therefore does not require extreme amounts of exercise like
many BCs. He has experience
in agility, freestyle and tracking games but
he is just as happy with simple games of fetch or tug, and long walks in
natural settings. In
short, he is ready for fun action at a moment’s notice, but he will also
curl up on the couch with you for extensive cuddles if you like that, too.
Flash is great with dogs of all shapes and sizes that he meets on
his daily hike in the park. He is not good with cats. Flash
was adopted from the Farm in 2005 at age 3 but now finds himself in need
of a new home because his parents had a baby. Like most
Border Collies, Flash is not comfortable with the poking and pulling that
curious toddlers will do. Therefore,
Flash will be best in an adult home without small children. He
is currently living in his home in Clifton, NJ and would love to
transition to his new home straight from there. Flash’s guardian
is a dog trainer and would be glad to arrange a time and place to
introduce Flash to an appropriate adopter.
He can answer any and all questions you may have as well as show
you Flash’s obedience and tricks if you like! Flash
is a wonderful and loved family member. He will need a lifestyle
similar to his current one, where he gets a healthy dose of love and
stimulation each day in the form of hikes and/or interactive games with
toys, which is exactly what all Border Collies need! Submit
applications to the Farm, as usual. |

BRYNE
now known as Katie, found her forever home where she'll join a pack of
Border Collies and enjoy life with someone who really understands the
breed. She'll get to try agility and if she loves it, have a lifetime of
fun racing, running and challenging herself to learn. Bryne will surely do
well and be adored in her new life in NJ with her Fur Mom and Dad who
really wanted another beautiful red BC. Bryne/Katie is that girl!
BRYNE:
A 6 1/2 month old Border Collie, Bryne is non-stop. She is classic in her
high energy level and ready to chase, race and make up herding games
instantly. She flies over the furniture en route to whatever is of
interest, clearly agile. Bryne loves to play and feels most at ease with
other BC's who want to play or are young in age and can keep up with her
active play style. She is a thinker, taking in a situation first, whether
it's meeting new dogs or new people, she thinks and then decides what to
do next. She is very smart and bonds quickly. Bryne is also very
affectionate and loves to nestle right in by your side. She will only be
placed with BC savvy guardians since her energy needs are high. She would
excel in sports and will need another young BC companion for sure. Bryne
was abandoned in a PA shelter, given up for no time for her. Bryne
loves the water and is a natural swimmer. She and Darcie are having a
blast in the pond at the Farm, with the pack.

RALEIGH
found his forever home, patiently waiting for just the right people who
would understand him and love him for his sweet nature. It took a little
over a year but the perfect guardians came and they knew they could
provide a wonderful, calm, loving life for him where his worries would be
diminished and the love would be abundant. His new Furmom is a special
education teacher so has all the patience in the world for Raleigh's
timidity and will happily guide him through any surprises. We are so happy
for Raleigh who deserves all the love in the world and a marvelous life
where he can learn how great it is to be a Border Collie. He now lives in
PA.
A special thanks to Linda Wood who kindly
fostered Raleigh for many months to get him ready for this special day.
RALEIGH: A
5 1/2 year old Border Collie,
Raleigh is a gentle, sweet, loving dog who loves other dogs and comes to
life around them. He is skittish with people so is learning that people,
as well as dogs, are safe and will love him back. He is getting some
time in a foster home to help him blossom, each day he's feeling more confident already.
He is about 35 pounds and is good with cats. He will be placed in a hard
fence situation only, not underground electronic fence systems. Raleigh came from another
rescuer who got him to safety from a rough situation where he had been
neglected. He came from PA. Raleigh is being fostered in
NY and can be seen at the farm

Sweet,
wonderful DARCIE found a wonderful life with another Border Collie
friend, adopted from the Farm. The two of them raced and chased and
wrestled and rolled and had a blast together. They were fast friends and
now Darcie will be the constant companion to her FurMom, learning all
kinds of great Border Collie activities and most importantly, being loved
forever by someone who really understands the breed. We are thrilled for
her. She now lives in upstate NY where we'll see her often.
DARCIE: A 6 1/2 month old Border
Collie, Darcie is all action, ready to go soon as you stand up and head
for the door and eager to play with any and all toys all the time - she is
classic high energy BC! She loves other Border Collies and quickly fit in
with a pack of 12, undeterred by older dogs and happy to herd and stalk
and join right in the games. She is very focused and very fast and fearless. She has wonderful eye contact and connects instantly to whomever
she is with, absolutely eager to learn and do whatever is asked of her.
Darcie is about 30 lbs and a cuddle-bug of course, too, and curls right up next to you. She
will only be placed with BC savvy guardians since her energy needs are
high. She would excel in sports and will need another young BC companion
for sure. Darcie came to the Farm from a PA guardian who bought her
for his 3 year old son. Darcie loves the water and is a natural
swimmer.

LASS
found her forever home with her new FurMom who loves this breed and
understood her instantly, knowing that a quick bark meant throw the ball
and certainly meant that it was time to work! She and Lass hit it off
quickly as Lass cuddled to her as well as ran out for a throw! Lass will
be her constant companion and join her with piano students as they come to
visit each day for lessons, clearly being a Border Collie ambassador to
all the kids. Lass now lives in upstate NY.
LASS: A 5 year old Border Collie, Lass
is a delightful companion, favorite of the neighborhood where she used to
live. All the kids loved her and we can see why - she is a ball nut but
also loves attention. Lass can be a little shy at first until she is
comfortable and then she's classic BC, looking for something to do with
someone she knows and trusts. She is very smart and sensitive and can't be
pushed to do things til she is ready, another typical trait of a mature
BC. She'd do well in a family who patiently lets her adjust to her new
life and then watches her blossom. She is a gentle, sweet girl who is
feeling a little out of sorts with this move but doing pretty well
adjusting to the Farm and we expect she'll be thrilled to be back in a
home again soon. Lass is 50 pounds, is good with cats and was
relinquished to the Farm because the son, whose dog she was, went off to
college and the parents felt they could not meet her needs. She came from
NY.

Sweet
Sam found his forever home after two years with the fosterer who
has adored him all along. Sam has finally gone blind and his recent visit
to the Farm made it clear that rehoming him would be too hard at this
point, so sweet, adorable Sam is staying right in CT in the place he
understands and knows so well. Sam is quite confident in his CT home, able
to manage the stairs, and outdoors so well so we are thrilled for him to
remain there. A very special thanks to Ann Gardner who does so much for
the Farm and has offered Sam a loving place since the day he came into
rescue and now, forever. She's camera shy (Ann that is) so if you can
picture a happy little blind guy following along with his person, that's
exactly what the picture would be!
SAM: A
11 year old Border Collie mix, Sam is like a little bear, cuddly and sweet

BEEGS
found a wonderful home with relatives of one of our camp teachers. She and
her husband met Beegs and spent a week watching him cavorting around as
the greatest camp diplomat, happy to be with everyone and every dog and
just had a feeling he would fit their relative's life perfectly. Once they
heard about him and saw him on the site, they excitedly called to find out
when he could join their lives. He'll step into the shoes of their beloved
Beagle and surely heal their hearts and become their best friend, just
like he did with everyone at the Farm. The "Beegs" will go into
history as one of the greatest dogs of all time to every land here and of
course, he'll be an honorary Border Collie for life! He now lives in PA.
BEEGS, the Beagle! Yes, GHF Border
Collie Rescue has a beagle here...Beegs, as he's affectionately known
found his way to the Farm when we spotted him in the middle of the road,
looking for help. No one came to claim him so he's looking for a new home.
Beegs has won everyone's hearts here at the Farm, even joining in The
Canine Country Camp where every camper loved him, too. He is fantastic
with other dogs and loves to play and race and chase with every dog he
meets. He adores people and happily climbs in your lap for attention and
loves to sleep head to head right in the bed next to you. Beegs is a
people dog as well as a dog's dog. He's about to join the kids at
Camp Border Collie for Kids and try agility. He loves toys of any
kind so should be a natural in sports. Beegs would be marvelous as a
therapy dog, he hops right up into your lap, puts both paws around your
neck and nestles right in for a hug. He is one great Beagle!! Beegs is
petite, approx 3 yrs old, about 35 pounds and fine with cats.

Marvelous
Luc found the perfect life for him with a loving guardian who loves
to hike and explore just as much as he does - he'll go on 4-5 mile hikes
and runs every morning and every night as well as weekend outdoor
adventures. Luc loves the great outdoors and where he now lives, he'll be
out in every inch of forests, and streams with endless outdoor
exploration. He'll also be the lucky Border Collie who joins his other
canine buddy with his new FurDad at work each day, accompanying him day in
and day out on the road with his projects. He'll be able to chase balls
during the day, too, which Luc just loves. Luc of course won his heart as
they hiked around the Farm for hours and then joined him overnight at the
Farm. By the time they headed out, Luc had found his new life and clearly,
his new guardian had found his new friend. We are thrilled for Luc who
deserves a fabulous life and love and fun and freedom, especially
considering what he overcame. A special thank you again for those who
donated to Luc's care many months ago. He now lives in MA.
LUC:
An
11 month old Border Collie, Luc is a sweet guy who everyone loves, super
friendly and eager to bond. He is focused and classic with a brilliant
mind and will need a BC home for sure. Luc is very active and loves to
hike, swim and explore. He is great off leash and comes back eagerly when
called. He is a blast, all full of life and energy like any young
BC. He is great with other dogs and could easily enjoy the action of
another young BC. He also loves to cuddle, a very good natured happy
people dog. Luc is good with dog savvy cats and about 35 pounds. He came from the Plattsburgh
NY region and was obviously not vaccinated as a puppy so
contracted parvo. He made a full recovery and has a clean bill of health.
As we were told, he was left with a friend but the guardian then
moved leaving no contact information. The person who took Luc in,
contacted us for help. Special
thanks to all the angels who sponsored Luc for his emergency medical
care, which saved his life.

CAPPY
found the perfect life where he'll be the center of attention, absolutely
the beloved buddy to his new FurMom who really wanted a canine friend who
would go with her everywhere. Cappy loved her and the idea of a new life
where he's the 'big' dog in the home and at the same time, the sweet
cuddler of the house. His new canine friend Zoey told him she's the boss
and put him right in his place and he was just fine with that as long as
he has his new guardians! Cappy will be hiking and hanging and enjoying a
great doggie life in rural Vermont! We are really happy for him.
|

CAPPY:
A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie mix, Cappy is a very sweet, energetic boy
who loves people and also loves to play, play, play with other dogs.
He is all about racing and chasing games and would be so happy with
the right canine friend. He is very smart and has the basics in clicker
work and obedience, eager to work and please. He is a happy go
lucky, good natured dog and also full of energy so needs an outlet for his
mind and body. Cappy is a bit taller than the average BC, about 50
pounds but very lean. Cappy also loves to cuddle, getting as close as he
can for belly rubs and attention, a sweetheart. He is good with
cats. Cappy was a stray from a PA shelter that works with the
Farm.
He has an interest in cars so will need to be on a hard fence in a
more rural setting, not a high traffic area. |

Little
ANA banana, as we called her, found a great life with 80 acres to
call her own and even a bit of work, herding the two horses in from
haying. She'll be joining a veteran BC, Cara, who is the matriarch of the
Farm and will clearly mentor Miss Ana on the way things work. We are
certain Ana will be a great student and come to run this empire with all
the smarts and grace she clearly has in her! She now lives in upstate NY
and happily laid on her new land, as if she'd been there forever.
ANA: A 3 month old Border Collie, Ana
is a wonderful sweet, curious, outgoing girl who loves to cuddle and play
and be with her person. She's very affectionate, and super smart, focused
on everything around her. Ana is incredibly agile and leaps off furniture
and tables and anything else as if it's not high at all. She is also
already showing the classic female tendencies of controlling other dogs.
She is likely to be a strong girl with dogs so will need another strong
dog to teach her or a submissive dog who wants to play or she could be a
solo pup. She's learning all about dog behaviors now and doing really well
in a pack of 12 who offer lots of play opportunities and also dog to dog
learning. Ana has an emotional side and needs to feel her person is with
her, especially at night, when she cuddles head to head, tucking her
little head right in your neck, then she's out to sleep for the night. She
is a puppy for sure, with tons of energy but she's a bit of a wise soul
too, very observant about her new life. She came to the Farm due to
no time for her. Ana is interested in chasing cats so will do
best without cats

KASEY:
A 3 1/2 month old Border Collie, Kasey landed at the Farm with perfect
timing! She had been instinct tested for herding and shows great promise
and an adopter was looking to add a pup for their farm to join their two
BC's herding the sheep. So, Kasey came in for a few days to say hello and
show off her focus and fearless nature and out she went to a great new
life in MA joining her new family as a full time member, doing exactly
what she was bred to do! Kasey instantly herded her two new canine friends
and raced with them as one of the pack, as confident as any puppy ever
could be. Kasey came from NJ, surrendered by a guardian who felt she was
more than they could manage. We are thrilled for her to have such a great
life on her own farm with acres and acres of land to enjoy as well as
work! |

SHELBIE
found wonderful new guardians who fell in love instantly. They thought she
was not only beautiful and sweet and friendly, she was smart and fun and
so great, they wanted to add her to their lives. Shelbie of course climbed
right into their laps for kisses and then lots and lots of ball throws. In
her own special style, she made them chuckle and charmed them with her
incredible focus and sweetness, too. Shelbie now lives in Ny with a
fabulous yard to explore and continual fun with her new family.
SHELBIE: A petite 4 year old Border
Collie, Shelbie is a classic fun-loving BC who is a great ball catcher and
will happily retrieve endlessly. She is fast, focused and runs like the
wind. She also loves to swim. Shelbie fits in with other dogs beautifully
and could easily join another dog but really enjoys having her person to
play with her and bonds instantly to the person who is hers. She is a
really sweet, affectionate girl with the typical BC traits of being
brilliant and needing something to do with her mind and body. She is a
well balanced, good natured girl. Like most Border Collies, she will chase
cats though lived with three and never hurt them so will be best with BC
savvy cats. She is about 40 pounds. Shelbie loves the water and will
endlessly enjoy splashing in a baby pool or full size pool, happy as can
be. Shelbie originally came from a
PA breeder bought as a gift for the husband 4 years ago. Upon his recent
death, Shelbie was surrendered to the Farm.
