RAE: A 3 year old tri-color Border Collie, Rae is a sweetheart, she absolutely loves people and wants to be with you all the time. She is happy to join in an activity, just content to be with her person. Rae is rather camera shy so it's hard to see how gorgeous her markings but she's as pretty as she is sweet. She is good with other dogs but a strong female so best with submissive males rather than females and would be happiest with another Border Collie. She could be a solo dog, too, as a real companion and friend. She is very smart and eager to learn and very easy going, not overly intense. Rae is good with dog savvy cats since she will herd them. She is about 40 pounds, typical in size for the breed. Rae was relinquished to the Farm due to issues with another female Border Collie in the home. She came to us from NY. 

BILLIE: A 2 year old Border Collie, Billie is not only beautiful, she is friendly and fun. She is great with people, very loving and affectionate and wants to be with you and involved. She is calm and gentle but comes to life with other dogs because she just loves to play. Billie is good natured and playful but not as high energy as some so could be a great companion. She is about 35 pounds, typical in size for a female and not yet tested on cats. Billie was a stray in western PA. 

HEIDI: A 3 year old Border Collie, Heidi is very sweet and wants to connect to people right away. She is friendly and happy go lucky about pretty much everything. A bit undersocialized with other dogs, she is doing just fine fairly quickly at the Farm meeting other Border Collies and is happy to have lots of room to run and play exploring with the gang. We'll know shortly whether she'd be happiest with a friend or as a solo dog. Heidi is very attentive and eager to please and also active but not overly intense. She has not yet been tested on cats. Heidi is about 35 pounds, typical in size and weight. She was a stray in western NY where the shelter contacted us for help. 

Sweet Spence found his forever home with adopters who previously had a dog from the Farm and just fell in love with his easy-going, good nature. He quickly connected with their dog and it was clearly a match made forever! Spence now lives in Pa, not far from where he was fostered. A special thanks to the Toomey family who kindly made room for Spence in their home since the Farm was full! Turns out he never needed to leave the area!

SPENCE: a 10 mo old border collie (possibly a mix) is full of BIG puppy energy.  He weighs approx 45lbs, and still has a little filling out to do.  Spence  does not have strong herding instincts and is more of a companion who wants to be with people first and dogs second. He has all the border collie intelligence and wants to please and be loved. Spence was relinquished to a shelter in NJ because of his energy level.

SHEENA: A petite 3 year old Border Collie, Sheena is not only beautiful, she is smart and focused and agile. She is a classic Border Collie who wants to be active interacting with a person and her work (toy play). Sheena really would benefit from someone who can develop her confidence through play and training. She is a bit shy at first with strangers but once comfortable, is friendly and happy. Sheena would be best with another Border Collie, a male ideally, since she is a strong female. She is good with cats. Sheena is about 35 pounds, a bit petite. Sheena came from a shelter in Brooklyn where she was surrendered because the owner was moving. 

CHASER:  A 6 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Chaser is focused, fast and fun when it comes to toys. He lives for the frisbee and balls being thrown over and over again. He has a strong 'eye' and can catch pretty much anything that comes his way. Chaser is eager to interact with someone for play or what he would consider his work and probably could have herded sheep when he was younger. He has been tested on sheep at the Farm during camp and has tremendous potential to work. He has great authority and handles the sheep beautifully. He is independent in his interactions with people, typical for border collies with a strong instinct for working. He is totally trustworthy off leash once he has bonded with the person who is his partner. He is about 55 pounds and good with cats and great with other dogs. Chaser has some issues with being physically handled because the children in the family teased him with a stick since he was a puppy so he will go to an adult only environment. He seems most comfortable with men and would be best suited to a border collie home without children, and one that understands the wonderful brilliance of such a focused dog. Chaser was relinquished to the farm from New Jersey because the children now want a dog they can 'rough-house' with.   

DILLON: A 4 year old red tri-color Border Collie, Dillon is a sweet dog who is very people friendly and loves attention. His first interest is people and being with you for loving. He likes dogs but he is happiest with a submissive dog who is easy going and friendly. Dillon is sensitive like many Border Collies so needs a patient person to help build his confidence, then he will return affection quickly and happily. He is not overly intense or active and would be a wonderful companion. He is good with cats. Dillon was in a shelter in Buffalo NY.  He is being fostered and can be seen in Buffalo or at the Farm. 

RIO: A 3 1/2 year old Border Collie, Rio is very people oriented and affectionate - he even gives wonderful doggie hugs. He is very intelligent and a keen observer of everything around him. Rio likes to be with the action and with his people. He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys play. Rio is fine with cats and about 50 pounds, carrying a few extra pounds which he will drop soon since he is more active. He had been left alone all day for 9 hours, not getting enough exercise. Rio loves to run and is a good natured, playful Border Collie. Rio came from PA , given up for lack of time for him.

Sweet Jessee found his forever home with a wonderful guardian who wanted to enjoy the remarkable relationship of a dog with special needs and offer a wonderful loving life full of hiking and play and companionship. Jessee loves toys and loves to explore and was quite clearly happy to hop in the truck and head out to a new life, never again to be left tied to a dog house all alone. He and Jessee will be best friends, together all the time and he's reworking the house to help Jessee find his way easily once he looses his sight. Jessee now lives in New Hampshire. A special thanks to Sandy Rivera, a friend of the Farm, who helped make this match happen.

JESSEE: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie mix, Jessee is incredibly sweet and loving and friendly. He absolutely loves to play with toys and will race around throwing them in the air, entertaining himself endlessly. He also LOVES to sit next to you and is a very very loving dog. He will also happily run for a ball you toss and is happy to be with people. Jessee has an eye problem and is partially blind and likely to be fully blind at some point. His sight is still fairly good and he can catch moving objects, follow direction doing almost what other sighted dogs can do, just every now and then bumping into something. His hearing and sense of smell is acute so he compensates beautifully and frankly, makes it hard to tell he has issues at all. He is about 40 pounds, very similar to body shape to a retriever and is good with cats. Jessee and his brother, Jax (adopted) were left tied to a dog house day and night until a neighbor stepped in to take them to a shelter which contacted the Farm for help. He came from western PA. No one realized that he could not see properly until they arrived here.

Hi Lillie:
I can’t even begin to think of the words that would describe the joy of Jessee. Our ride back to New Hampshire was pleasant as he spent the entire time calmly in the front seat. In the last two days he has never left my side. He follows me every where. If I’m at the computer he rests at my feet. When I’m on the couch reading or watching TV he sits beside me. If I leave the room to go to the kitchen he follows me. He waits for me outside the shower every morning. In short we have bonded very quickly. His cognitive mapping abilities are amazing to say the least. He instinctively seems to know where the furniture and dogs bowls are located. He has learned the up and down of stairs very quickly. He is a very bright dog (after all he is a border collie) and he has made my task of teaching him the surroundings a very easy one.  We have taken three walks and he is always by my side. I am his eyes and he seems to know that.
I took him to my vets and he tells me Jessee has totally lost his vision in his left eye and has maybe 10% left in his right.
I just hope I can bring a little light into his very dark world.
Thank you so much and keep up your wonderful work,
Steve
