WREN
found the best life she could imagine - right in her foster home! She will
enjoy lots of BC playing and exploring, plus enjoy the farm animals that
live at her new home as well as her BC friend, GHF alum Becke, who is
teaching her the ropes. Little miss Wren has found all that she needs to
busy her mind and body and most importantly, her heart, which clearly
linked with her new FurMom, to be her best friend, for life. We're so
happy that Wren found her way to right where she was supposed to be! She
now lives in upstate NY.
WREN: A 4 month old Border Collie, Wren
is learning that life can be fun, fun, fun, Border Collie style. She's
enjoying new dog friends and having a good time cuddling on the couch,
too. She is starting to come out of her shy worried nature to join in
activities. A sweet, little girl, she is super food motivated so can learn
all kinds of things as she gains confidence. Wren is a toy girl, too, and
really starting to play. She is in a foster home to help her have plenty
of one-on-one attention to blossom. Wren came from a situation where
her needs were not being met. Bal and Wren are sisters from
the same litter.

Milo's
story is one that brings a tear to your eye and warms your heart...he came
from an awful situation in TN where a breeder used him all his life for
breeding and never cared for him properly. Well, that day changed when he
landed in rescue in NY in late September. And, things have been looking
good ever since. But, little did he know that his new guardians actually
met him the very week he landed at GHF when they came to volunteer. They
brought their RV and stayed a week to help out with the load of 8 dogs
coming in all at once from the confiscation. Milo was the one they fell in
love with but the timing just wasn't right for him to join their lives.
Now, it most certainly is and back they came for Mr. Milo. They
affectionately are calling him the HD dog...as in 'honey dog', the one who
is so sweet they loved him long ago and even more now. We are incredibly
happy for Milo who really needed patient, loving people like his new
guardians. He will have a great life with time spent at their Adirondack
camp; their home in upstate NY and their winter spot in Georgia where
he'll get to walk and play right on the beach. Milo will join Boo, as
their constant companions.
MILO: A
7 year old Border Collie, Milo is an easy-going guy who likes to be in his
home with his person. He's all about companionship
rather than toys or anything else. Milo loves his person! He enjoys
cuddling though can be sensitive so needs a patient person to help
build his trust. He's been meeting lots and lots of people in his foster
home and never forgets anyone he meets, happy to say hello again. Milo
is very observant and attentive, watching everything that goes on so he
can be sure it all makes sense to him so he does really well with
someone willing to help guide him so he'll easily relax. Milo also
gets to try agility and has been trained to learn new things which makes
him so proud and happy. He's quite adorable as he is so eager to please
and knows he's done well. He would be fine with another BC, female
is best though |

PYE
found exactly the spot she needs to be - in a loving home WITH SHEEP on
her own 96 acre farm! Pye joins another Border Collie who loves herding
too and she also has another canine friend for down time and play. Her new
FurMom said Pye 'was tickled when she went to the pasture and saw her new
sheep!' And, also loved a good soak in the water tub after working. Pye
got it all! A wonderful home with loving guardians who adore their dogs
and a real job where she can use her mind, body and heart all in one! She
now lives in PA.
A very, very special thanks to Warren Mick who
fostered Pye for a long time in order to get her ready for this incredible
life she so deserved. Pye came to us at 6 months old as a car chaser and a
shadow chaser and it was his work with her and sheep, that helped lessen
the obsessive behaviors that were created originally in the wrong home
setting. Her previous guardians played with her with a laser light and
actually triggered the OCD behaviors. Please never do this with this
breed. We are just thrilled for Pye.
PYE:
A 1 yr old Border Collie, Pye is a typical, non-stop, high energy girl
who thrives on something to do. She will make up her own herding games or
play with toys if she is not engaged with her person cause she's smart and
focused and ready to go. Pye is great with everyone she meets, happy to
say hello and then hoping for a connection. She cuddles and loves to be in
your lap but like any young BC, she is then off and going. She loves toys
of any kind and loves to play with other dogs, too. She is good with cats. She
was abandoned at a PA shelter that fortunately works with GHF. . Pye
is being fostered by Warren Mick in upstate NY where she's learning about
herding. We plan to place her in a herding home where someone is home most
of the day and she can work. We're so excited for her
since she showed lots of talent when she was tested on sheep this summer.

PEPPER
found the perfect life where she can enjoy trying all the border collie
activities like agility, flyball and obedience to see what she likes. And,
if nothing suits her well, she'll enjoy a great life with her BC friend,
Risky, at their home with their own pond, racing and chasing and making up
their own BC games. Pepper's new guardian came to the Canine Country Camp
looking for a new friend and found just the right match for her and for
her dog. Pepper now lives in Canada where she'll surely have plenty to do!
PEPPER: A petite 4 year old Border
Collie with ABCA papers, Pepper is a sweetheart, absolutely lovely with
people. She is one of those sensitive, quiet Border Collies who comes up
for love and kisses and then runs off to do what interests her. She is
delightful. She is a very smart girl, too, and loves to run as fast as she
can, enjoying the outdoors. Pepper is ok with other dogs but could be
happiest as a solo dog since she is so people oriented. She lived in a
home with an invisible fence where she chased cars so we want to place her
with a hard fence in a more rural setting. She has lots of energy but is
not a chaotic high energy BC, rather a thoughtful, observant girl. She is
about 35 pounds and good with cats. She was given up from PA
guardians who felt she needed something more than they could give her.
She's a little camera shy so it's hard to capture how gorgeous she really
is but she is.

The
toddlers in the home were making him anxious, combined with a move to a
hot climate, the guardians felt it was best for Storm to have an easier
life. Storm is the first generation born in the states, from Scottish
breeders so he has that classic intelligence and calmness combined with
the focus to respond to whatever is asked of him...a classic BC! He herds
cats obsessively so will go to a non cat home. He is 50 pounds. Storm
has been diagnosed with heart disease through Cornell cardiologists so he
is on medication now. He will need to visit a cardiologist for an
echocardiogram
once a year and may have to go on additional medication.
Heart disease in Border Collies is not uncommon and older BC's live
long lives doing just fine with the support of meds, as needed. |
STORM
lost the battle with lymphoma, peacefully passing while with his foster
family. We are all deeply saddened by the loss of such a terrific and
special Border Collie. Storm had an amazing spirit and love of life,
whether it be with people, the frisbee or running the trails. A great dog
is gone but he left his heart with the Holeck family who kindly fostered
him since he came into rescue. A special thanks goes to them for their
wonderful love. And, I, for one, am incredibly happy to have had him at
our home, too. We love you Storm and will miss you.
STORM
came to the Farm a fun-lovin' frisbee boy and thankfully, found a BC lovin'
family that welcomed him into their home as a foster dog.Well, within
short order, Storm was diagnosed with heart disease and then had a back
injury from the winter but through it all, his foster family loved him
through and through, enjoying this wonderful boy. He and their
female BC played endlessly and he went everywhere with them, truly a
family member. And, now, it's official, Storm will remain with them
permanently. Through his rehab to bring him back to walking fully
again, they knew there was only one place he really belonged - in their
hearts and home. We're really happy for Storm, who gives back his heart
100%
STORM:
An
12 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Storm is a smart , focused,
fun guy who loves to be involved with his people. He is incredibly
sweet and always by your side, excited for any toss of a toy or ball. He
has the classic BC traits of looking for something to do yet a beautiful
ability to relax and lie down when asked to do so. Storm is very eager to
please, has great manners inside and out, a brilliant BC. He loves frisbee
and ball and is as fast as the younger BC's he's living with at the
founder's home. He'd never turn down a chance to catch a toss. Storm
is great off leash and a wonderful hiking partner. He's lived in one
home since a puppy and has been a beloved companion for all his years,
leaving a family who dearly wishes things worked out differently.

We are incredibly happy to announce
that JUSTIN has a home! Two of our former adopters came back
for another senior BC once their beloved GHF Mandy died. And, we are so
glad they did cause now Justin gets a great life with 6 acres of doggie
fun and plenty of canine friends, too. He'll be their constant companion,
enjoying plenty of play and love! Justin had a cancerous tumor removed
early in the year which meant he may not be adoptable so it's with great
excitement that he heads off with guardians who kindly open their hearts
to a rescue dog in need. They came looking to help the most neediest of
dogs in rescue and they fell in love with sweet Justin! We are so grateful
for their caring hearts and know Justin will be adored, no matter how long
he is with them. He now lives in MA.
Special thanks to Karen and Geri Del Priore who
kindly fostered Justin for 5 months, giving him all the happiness to
launch into a new life!
JUSTIN: A 10 yr old Border Collie, Justin is a really
sweet guy, very easy going and happy to explore outside with other dogs or
with his person. He's super friendly and affectionate, happy for a belly
rub or nudging you to give you a light doggie kiss. He is fantastic with
people. He is also fine with other dogs. Justin is finally
getting a chance to explore the world since he spent the last 9 yrs in a
mobile home park that did not allow dogs - so he had very little outdoor
freedom and exercise. He was, however, adored and clearly knows that
a special person is exactly what he loves to have in his life. Justin has
vestibular disease but moves just fine. Justin will not hurt a cat
but will chase to play so probably best with dog savvy cats.
Justin is 65 pounds and has a longer coat, making him look much larger. Justin
was relinquished in MD. Justin is in a foster home in
NY. |

PUPPY
POLITICS
We just had to share a couple of great pictures that capture the moments
of three puppies saying hello for the first time. It's a classic! |
 |
 |
| Andy loves the water and
is happy to splash and explore and race around with Geena and Isabele all
day. |
 |
 |

  |
GEENA
& ANDY found a new life together! They met at the Farm, living
up at the Founder's home and the two were clearly fast friends. It was
incredibly exciting that they could stay together since they really loved
playing, racing, chasing and wrestling together, like two peas in a pod.
They'll now have their own family for constant love, a great yard and even
a beach to visit for lots of fun playing. These two will happily live
together in NJ now.
ANDY An 8 week old Border Collie,
Andy is an amazing little guy. He is confident, outgoing and really eager
to be in the middle of everything. He absolutely loves other dogs and
quickly engages for play and handles himself beautifully. He is already
stalking other dogs too, showing his herding tendencies. Andy is clearly a
very smart pup and also super sweet, loving attention. He was from a
litter on a PA farm.
|
|

GEENA: An 8 month old Border Collie
mix, Geena is sweet, people oriented and bonds quickly to her person. She
loves to cuddle, sitting next to you or on the bed, sound asleep by your
side. She is definitely all about her person though she sure loves to race
with the other BC's in the field. She is fast and happiest with a friend
who can keep up so we'd like to place her with another BC or mix,
preferably a boy. Geena is also interested in toys and could enjoy playing
though isn't overly intense needing to play all the time. She can
entertain herself or settle easily while you're busy. She is a thoughtful
girl who assesses everything around her and then decides to join in,
making sense of what is going on, clearly a smart BC. She is about 35
pounds (her pictures make her look large but she is not) and will chase
cats so best in a dog savvy cat home. She was dropped at a PA
shelter who works with GHF.
|

 |
SCOUT
finally found exactly what he was hoping for - a family! Three
wonderful kids to call his own so he'll have tons of ball play and loving
guardians who just thought he was the most fun, smart and sweetest Border
Collie...exactly what they were looking for! We know Scout will have a
blast in his new life, living in NY.
SCOUT:
A 3 1/2 year old Border Collie, Scout is a blast! He is all action, ready
to play ball endlessly and happy to be with his person doing just that.
He's sweet, fun, focused and super smart. For Scout, he loves a life where
he can use his mind and body together. He'd be a great athlete with an
active person and yet can settle down once inside, enjoying affection.
Scout adjusts easily to new situations and fits in wherever he goes. He'll
entertain himself with his toys, making up his own games, a wonderful guy!
He'd be a great family dog with kids who want to play or with an active
adult. He is typical in size, about 45 pounds and fine with cats.
Scout would be happiest as the only dog since he wants an engaged
relationship with a person. He lived in a home where his guardians felt
they could not meet his needs. He was abandoned at a NJ shelter
that works with GHF and thankfully, he came to us.
|
 |

 |
BRODY
came to the Farm and instantly showed his sweet, friendly nature, fitting
in with everyone and all the dogs, clearly enjoying a chance for a new
life. His new guardians had been patiently hoping for a dog just like him
so raced up to meet him. And, it was crystal clear that he was perfect to
join their lives. Brody will now enjoy living on a lake, lots of boat
rides and going to work with his FurDad as well as plenty of racing,
wrestling and chasing with his new canine buddy, Rascal. We're so happy
for him! He now lives in NJ.
BRODY: A 2 year old
Border Collie mix (possibly retriever), Brody is a happy and friendly guy
who enjoys everyone he meets. He's got a great nature, curious about
everything and easy going. He loves to run and chase with other dogs
so could be happy with another canine friend. Brody is about 45
pounds and is good with cats. He was a stray in PA,
landing at a shelter that works with GHF. |
 |

 
ROSS: A
2 year old Border Collie, Ross is a sweet, gentle, good natured BC who
wants to have a person as his own. He is eager to bond and once he does,
he's incredibly happy to see his person come through the door, jumping
into your lap for belly rubs. Ross needs the confidence of someone
on his 'team' when he encounters new situations since he can be a bit
nervous. Good positive training methods help him relax. Ross is
smart and observant, more of a thinker before he takes action on what's
going on around him so will do best with a bc savvy guardian. Ross is
very smart and attentive and could easily be trained though is not as
intense as other bc's who need the outlet of sports activities. He
likes to play with other dogs and will only be placed with another dog or
two since he feels more comfortable with canine friends. He is best
with dog savvy cats and is about 40 pounds. He was a stray in
MD. Ross is very camera shy so it's hard to capture his
wonderful, expressive face but we tried! Ross will be placed in an
adult only home since he does best with clear leadership. |
RHEA
& ROSS found a new life TOGETHER! They've been friends for a long
time at GHF, herding each other non-stop and sharing a room too so it's a
wonderful day to see them go into a forever home now sharing a great
relationship for life. They will have a Border Collie paradise with 90
acres to explore - trails and water and tons of fun with guardians who
really understand their needs and love the breed. Soon as they met these
two, they were totally enamored even though they saw many more other
candidates. It was Rhea & Ross who ultimately won their hearts and
hopped into their car to head home to their great new home! They love the
Border Collie intensity and herding focus and that's what this duo is all
about! They now live in CT.
RHEA:
A
2 1/2 year old Border Collie, Rhea is a smart, driven girl who loves
everyone. She is sweet and likes to connect with her person, a super
affectionate girl. Rhea is quite cuddly, jumping right into you lap
for belly rubs and hugs and she'll happily stay right there til you're
ready to go. Rhea loves to play ball and frisbee but like most
BC's. She would love an active life where her person hiked and took her
everywhere. She has excellent recall and always wants to be right by your
side, soon as she's called. Rhea is a fantastic girl with everyone she
meets. She is a strong herder so tends to instantly herd other dogs
but will not hurt them. She is good with cats and fine with other
dogs but does best with males. Rhea lived in a farm situation but
was fostered in a loving home for a number of months and is now ready to
start a new life. She came to the Farm from Vermont when a
neighbor stepped in to help her.

ROMEY
found a great life where he'll be the constant companion to his new
guardian and have a BC buddy to pal around with in the yard, on walks and
forever, in their life. He charmed his new guardian with his sweet, gentle
nature and she knew she could provide a wonderful home for him. He now
lives in upstate NY.
ROMEY:
A 4 year old Border Collie, Romey has blossomed into a more confident boy,
enjoying life in a much bigger way than when he first arrived. He just
loves being with his person and is an easy boy to live with, his good
nature is sweet as they come. He needs some reassurance at times when
things are new to him but he is a brave guy, trying anything suggested to
him. He loves treats and loves to hang with other Border Collies so we'll
place him in a home with at least one outgoing canine friend. Romey is an
amazing cuddler, literally happy to sleep curled up next to you or around
your head, he just wants his person nearby. He also loves to chase his BC
friends as they play games. He is about 35 pounds and fine with cats.
Romey's life changed when his NY guardian died, pushing him into a new
life that was not as reclusive as the old so he's now had time to adjust
and done really well. He will still need patient people who can guide him
and not a lot of chaos. He is incredibly sweet and good natured. He
is being fostered in Rochester NY, thanks to Joy Moll. He's getting a
chance to experience the world of agility, too. |
 |

DINNIE found the perfect person who
understands him and absolutely loves him. He joins GHF alum, Pepper (on
the left) and new canine buddy, Stella. Dinnie enjoyed many days with his
new guardian and dog friends at Camp Border Collie for Kids when his new
FurMom volunteered at Camp. They walked plenty of trails, hung out in the
cabin and all got to know each other making this transition to his new
life, easy as can be! We are thrilled for sweet Dinnie, who will now live
in Ct and we'll see him next summer at kids camp!
DINIE: A 9 year old Border Collie,
Dinie or Houdini as he was known, is a wonderful, good natured, happy guy.
He is curious about everything and joins in with the other dogs and all
the action easily. Dinie is smart and thoughtful, thinking about
everything going on before deciding what to do. He loves other BC's and
wants to play, happy with chase games or frisbee. He loves toys and enjoys
engaging in frisbee or balls games. Dinie is about 45 pounds and good with
cats. He was abandoned at a PA shelter when his guardians moved to
an apartment from a larger property. He has always lived with
another dog but didn't handle being tied out all day.
|

|


LUKE: An 8 month old Border Collie,
Luke is a friendly, good-natured, happy go lucky guy who adjusts easily in
new situations. He came into the Farm as relaxed as could be and met other
dogs easily, thrilled to have a play friend. He is smart, focused and
loves life. He has a great trick where he sits straight up, perfectly
balanced with his front legs up and he holds that position for longer than
you'd think possible... a very cute trick. Luke likes to race and chase so
would love a BC friend who likes to play. Luke will only go to a BC
experienced home since he has some nipping tendencies that need to be
managed. He'll do best with another BC who is confident and gives
him an outlet for his energy. He is 40 pounds and good with cats. He
was a stray in the Pittsburgh area and fortunately, landed in a shelter
that was happy to work with GHF. |
IZZY
& LUKE became fast friends at the Farm and now, forever, as they
head off to a new life with another BC friend, Jess. They'll have plenty
of ball time, hiking time and even chickens and horses to watch over with
lots of land for exploring. Their new guardians were so excited to meet
them and chuckled over the young BC antics that they remember when they
had two pups years ago. They understand the breed well and loved them both
instantly, providing a wonderful life for this great
pair. They now live in NJ.
ISABELE:
A
4 month old Border Collie, Isabele is quite the pup. She is
already showing her BC focus, readily following all the action and her
person and she is intense for the ball. She instantly stalks into
position, waiting for a throw. She is very, very smart and will need an
outlet for her mind and body, in order to be content. Isabelle is good
with other dogs and understands adult dogs well but she will also happily
engage in constant play with young BC's. She would love a BC friend
to join her in herding games, chasing around the field. We would prefer to
place her with at least one other BC, male not female, since she is
already showing a confidence in controlling other dogs. And,
she must have an active person as her guardian, someone who really
understands the breed. She is tiny for her age so likely to be a petite
adult. Isabele is quite the cuddler, loving to nuzzle in right by your
side. She came from guardians who lived in an apartment without
a fenced yard and knew this wasn't ideal.

PRITZI
and LAYCE found their forever home with good friends of the Farm
who were here 9 years ago to adopt their beloved Deke from GHF. They have
been patiently hoping for the right addition to join wonderful Jake, now
14 yrs old. Since he needed a calm companion, they had been watching the
site for awhile. Soon as the email newsletter came to them, it was Pritzi
and Layce who caught their attention as the perfect pair. They'd had them
on their minds and this spotlight attention prompted the decision to
visit. Having always had two Border Collies, they knew it would be great
for them, and right for Jake to have some new friends to liven up his life
a bit and of course, perfect for this mother - daughter pair who needed to
stay together. The hard, hard life that Pritzi and Layce had before is
forever behind them now. It was a day of tears of joy for Pritzi and Layce
and sweet memories of Deke - a very special adoption! We are deeply
grateful for adopters who understand that giving to a rescue dog who
really needs you is a gift back to yourself. Their guardians wanted to
make a difference for these girls, for their own hearts and for Jake, the
sweetest inspiration to them for helping Border Collies. Pritzi and Layce
now live in NY.
PRITZI,
age 6 and LAYCE, age 3 are mother and daughter who will be placed
together. Both are very good natured, sweet and happy girls. They
love to nudge you for attention and happily say hello asking for belly
rubs, too. Pritzi and Layce are very happy with each other, racing
around together and quickly enjoying the outdoors. Neither are high
energy, intense BC's, instead very easy going inside and outside. They
love attention. Pritzi can be shy but Layce leads the way, eager for
a connection with everyone. They were originally from the south adopted by
an upstate guardian who could then not keep them. Fortunately, the shelter
where they were abandoned regularly works with the Farm. They are
not good with cats

HARRIS
found a wonderful home where he'll be the constant companion to his new
guardians, exploring the great outdoors and receiving all the love he
deserves. In addition, he'll be the greeter for clients who come to his
FurMom's salon business where he'll get plenty of goodies and surely be
center stage. And, next week, he heads out with his FurDad for his annual
fishing trip with friends where Harris, will step into the beloved
footsteps of their former Border Collie who went everywhere and met
everyone. We're sure Harris will win their hearts big-time with his
wonderful nature, just as he did with his new guardians who knew he was
the perfect one for their lives! He now lives in NY.
HARRIS: A 4 1/2 month old Border
Collie, Harris is a confident, fearless little guy who joins in the action
around him quickly and happily. He loves meeting everyone and quickly goes
up for a hello and affection. Harris is smart, eager to use his mind and
will respond to direction, with ease. He is a very responsive pup. He is
not overly intense and does settle well once he's had enough exercise and
play, with his person or other BC's. He's stalking already as the ball
games are underway with his foster pack. Harris loves toys of any kind and
is happy to play with anyone. He is a pretty easy BC pup and loves having
a canine friend. He was a stray in PA and fortunately made it to GHF.
He is about 25 pounds.

We
are so happy for ACE who found someone who will help him gain his
confidence while loving him for his insecurities and worries, too. He
joins GHF alum, Jett, another tongue out BC! who will show him the ropes
of a great life! Plus, Ace will have two female BC's to be the leaders of
the pack as he and Jett enjoy tons of fun playing, wrestling and racing
around which Ace just loves! This wonderful sweet soul touched the heart
of his new guardian when she saw his sweet face so she came right away to
bring him home! He now lives in New Hampshire.
ACE: A 10 month old Border Collie, Ace
is a sweet, gentle guy who really wants to believe that people are good.
He is timid but wants so much more than what he has had. Some of the
signals he gives are touching -he is very close to you all the time,
quietly at your feet inside or up against you sitting outside, just to be
near. But, Ace isn't so sure about everyone and will need a patient person
to help him feel safe with strangers. He gets concerned and will tend to
dodge away from people at first, going to the person he knows or the dogs
that make him feel safe. He loves other Border Collies and really needs
the security of a friend and could easily fit in a pack of BC's. Ace also
loves to run and run and run. Knowing his history of being out on a four
foot chain, no water or shelter and no name, it's easy to understand why
he's happier now. He is a really wonderful, good natured guy who is now
having a blast at the Farm. Ace will, for sure, be transformed by the love
of a person. He is so wanting to share himself with someone. We are
really happy that Ace made it to safety thanks to the actions of the NY
Animal Control Officer who stepped in to get him out of his bad situation.

We
are incredibly happy that GOOCHIE & KELSIE came to the farm and
within days found their new life! At ages 12 & 13, we know one move is
best and thankfully, their new guardian had been patiently waiting for a
senior to adopt. Soon as they came in and showed their sweet nature, it
was clear this mother and daughter had to stay together. The email went
out - how about two? and one came back - of course! So, Rosie, our camp
agility instructor & well known agility trainer drove up to get them
right away. Soon as she met them and they met her two young girls, Rosie
knew they would be just fine at their home. Goochie & Kelsie will have
a big adjustment but we all have a strong feeling that these two seniors
will blossom with all the love and stimulation they're about to
experience. And, we know for sure that they'll charm everyone they meet. A
special thanks to Rosie Sutherland for opening her heart and home to help!
They now live in NJ.
GOOCHIE, age 12 and her mom, KELSIE, age
13, just arrived at the Farm and are exploring everything! They are very
petite sweet girls who are very curious and taking in all the sights and
sounds pretty well, considering how different it all is to them. They are
gentle souls who love to be petted and want to be near you. They've lived
a fairly quiet life until one of their guardians died and that meant they
needed a new home. Kelsie came from a breeder years ago and they bred her
to a male Border Collie and then kept Goochie. They've lived in one home
all their lives, on 7 acres without fencing. Neither of them strayed
however now with some deafness, it would be best for them to have a fenced
yard. A kind neighbor stepped in to handle their vet needs, both were
suffering from bad flea infestation and eating bad food. She changed all
of that and then got them to rescue so they could continue to share their
sweet nature with people. Both are about 35 pounds. They are absolutely
wonderful and grab everyone's heart instantly. Goochie and Kelsie clearly
have a good relationship, tracking each other side by side and sleeping
curled up next to each other on any chair or couch they can find. Kelsie
is blind in one eye and will soon visit the ophthalmologist. They came
from PA, living right near a very well known breeder though we cannot
confirm their lineage. |

We
are so excited that JACK has found his forever home!!!! His new
guardians really understand the breed and want to continue helping Jack
enjoy life with people. This will be his first time living in a real home
day in and day out, as part of a family, both canine and human. Jack grew
into a different dog while living at the Farm over the last year, when we
tucked him into our Annex Building so he learned to enjoy a quieter indoor
life, having BC friends for play and a restful warm, clean place inside.
So, now, he begins the next phase of learning how really great life can be
when he hangs on the couch next to his person, goes everywhere with them
and enjoys tons of playing games with his canine buddies, a BC and an
Aussie friend....it's everything Jack really really deserves! He will also
enjoy lots of time at their cottage near the lake, exploring the great
outdoors which we know Jack certainly loves!. He now lives in Ct. Jack is
being his camera shy self but trust us, he's a happy camper when the
camera is off!
JACK:
A petite 3 year old Border Collie, Jack is very classic in his temperament
- energetic and very sensitive - he responds quickly to gentleness and
attention yet wants to run like the wind exploring. He will do best with
someone who understands the complexity of this breed. Jack will not
succeed with heavy handed approaches, instead, he needs direction and
guidance that is kind and fair, leading him to enjoy life as an active BC.
He is focused and eager to connect with people. Jack is very smart and
observant of everything around him, easily influenced by people - what we
would call a 'soft' dog. He is about 35 pounds and good with cats. Jack
would be happiest with a female BC who loves to play since he also loves
to wrestle and chase and make up games. He'll be placed in an adult home
since he is sensitive and loves a close bond with his person. Jack
was in a corgi rescue, thankfully pulled to safety. He originally came
from KY
