JAZZ: A beautiful 2 year old tri-color Border Collie, Jazz is a ball and stick nut, absolutely loves to play non-stop. She is very smart, very focused and a classic Border Collie who needs an outlet mentally and physically. She will only be adopted into a seasoned bc savvy home. Jazz would be fine as a solo dog or with another Border Collie, especially an easy male since she is a strong female, like most in the breed. Initially cautious with strangers, she is extremely affectionate once she is comfortable with people.  She has no food or toy guarding issues. Jazz is learning her commands and has a good recall. She is not good with cats. Jazz was a stray in Westchester NY and thanks to the collaborative effort between the local shelter and the Farm is now safely in rescue. She was petrified at the shelter and fortunately, the staff work carefully to keep her from deteriorating. Jazz is being fostered in CT and can be seen there or at the Farm

He is friendly with everyone and loves other dogs, eager to play and play and play. He is not overly active or high energy like a purebred border collie but is energetic and playful so needs another young dog as an outlet for his energy. Merlin is easy going and will be a great companion and is good with cats. He will need some obedience since he's still a bit mouthy as a young dog. He is about 40 pounds now so may grow a bit bigger as an adult. He was taken to a PA shelter for having too much energy. Merlin is being fostered in New Hampshire and can be see at the Farm.

PENNIE: A very sweet 2 year old Border Collie, Pennie is a stunning red merle.

Pennie is good with all other dogs and could live with another dog or without, depending on the situation with the person's lifestyle. She would not be happy left alone long periods or living in a chaotic situation. Pennie is good with cats. She was a stray in NJ given to us from the shelter.

Flex and Anney now live in Canada.

ANNEY: A 2 1/2 year old tri-color Border Collie, Anney is stunning and very sweet. She is good natured and gentle, really rather shy with people until the ball comes out, then she is off to play and focus on a good game of catch.

She is good with other dogs and is very friendly, easy going and good natured. She is also very intense, very focused and very fast so needs a sport home for an outlet for her mind and body. Nan comes from very strong herding lines but is too tough on sheep and very hard headed so a sport home would suit her best. She bonds very quickly and wants to please so would do well with someone who has border collie experience since she is very very intelligent. Nan is about 35 pounds, a bit petite. She has been introduced to cats and is insecure around them so needs to be with dog savvy cats. Nan was relinquished to the Farm due to her energy level. 

PAYTON: A 5 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Payton is a sweet, loving, gentle dog who is very easy going and calm. She is happy to be with her person and go with them wherever they are. Payton is a bit timid at first and then once comfortable, just a very gentle soul. She does not have the wound-up intensity of a young Border Collie, so would be more of a great companion. She is very very responsive to people and would do best in an adult home that is fairly calm. She has a little bit of weight to knock off but since she had little exercise before, it is will come off more easily here at the Farm. Peyton herds cat so can be over zealous if living with one. She lived in the kitchen area of her previous home or outdoors in a small fenced yard. She has never experienced the fun of balls or frisbees before but is showing fast interest of course!

SASHIE: A sweet 2 year old Border Collie, Sashie isn't showing all her beauty right now since she has been clipped extremely short due to a skin condition. Sashie has had a rough two years where she had been unsuccessfully treated for this so we are very eager to help her in rescue with homeopathic remedies and less invasive approaches. She is very very sweet, loving and so happy to be playing and with people who understand what she needs. She is bright, alert and eager to bond with people and loves being with other dogs, herding, and chasing toys. Sashie needs some time to heal since her former guardians unknowingly did her more harm trying to help her with odd mixes of bath ingredients that were actually toxic and lethal, causing her to vomit due to the poisonous nature of the mixture and with home made food remedies of sardines, almonds and garlic which of course were not the right combination to insure her health. Sashie's former guardians loved her but were challenged in understanding how to properly care for a Border Collie as well as a dog with health issues. She came to the Farm from Maryland. We are very thankful to be helping her and will update her progress.
