RYAN: A 3 month old Border Collie, Ryan is a sweet, good natured, little guy who loves to play with other dogs.  Soon as he meets a new canine friend, he wants to wrestle and chase and boldly invites them to do so.  Ryan would clearly love a friend.  He wants to be in the middle of everything, including your lap. Ryan is easy going though if he has enough activity with another dog and then hangs out near you once content.  He is smart and likes to be involved with all the activity but he's not overly intense. He is a sweetheart relinquished to the Farm after the guardians realized he was just too much for them. 

REECE: A 6 month old Border Collie, Reece is all action as well as affection. He loves to race, run and chase and is showing herding instinct when with other dogs.

She is 30 pounds and is not good with cats. She is trained on the Invisible Fence. Chessie (originally named Princess), was relinquished to the Farm from PA guardians due to issues with the other more mature female dog in the home. Chessie is being fostered in NH

She is super sweet and eager to find a connection with someone where she can use her mind and body together. She is classic in her drive and intensity, a very good candidate for sports. Lace is fine with other dogs and will engage in play if the ball is not the focus, but really wants to intently use her mind with a person. She can easily fit in with other Border Collies but could also be a solo dog where she had the right outlet for her. She is about 25 pounds and not yet tested on cats. She was a stray in PA. 

GUS: AN 11 month old Border Collie, had his first outing apple picking and found the whole experience to be a bit of surprise since the apple surely wasn't his ball! Gus is a sweetheart, gentle and smart and really enjoying being with other BC's. He is learning that life is good and he can learn to relax and trust everyone around him. He can be timid at first so will need some time to blossom. He's a wonderful guy with lots of energy and lots of ability which now can be productively focused. Gus really needs a BC savvy person who understands what makes this breed so unique and special. He is about 30 pounds and is good with cats. 

Special thanks to the Rollins family who helped Griff learn all about living in a home with people he could count on, which gave him the foundation for this big day to become reality.

GRIFF: A 3 year old Border Collie, Griff is a gorgeous guy who is shy and needs patient people who love drawing out his sweet, curious nature. Like most skittish Border Collies, he does best with dog friends so will only be placed with other Border Collies. He is very gentle, very sweet and curious about everything. He's learning all about toys now and will eagerly come up for attention, too.  He is a wonderful spirit and will surely blossom into the border collie he was meant to be. He is about 35 pounds and ok with cats.  Griff will be placed in a hard fence situation only, not underground electronic fence systems Griff was originally a stray in Texas when our new caretaker took him into her rescue. Griff is being fostered in NJ

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. Dustie needs a strong leader who gives him the job of frisbee to do, ideally. He does best relating to one person clearly giving him direction since he is so focused on work. He will only be place where there is work for him in sports and with a savvy BC person.  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.

He's the constant companion to his new guardians who love this breed and understand them and felt he was perfect for their life, too. He has a great yard for exploring but knowing Budie, he'll be right at their feet, contentedly tossing toys or chewing on a bone. Budie loves to be with a person and today made that all possible again!

BUDIE: A 7 year old Border Collie, Budie is all about people and playing. He is fast and fun to watch as he chases ball and frisbees. He loves the game but the great thing about Budie is he also knows how to relax and will contentedly hang with you inside, happy to be by your side. Budie is great with other dogs but could happily enjoy life as the solo dog, which he's used to. He needs someone who keeps him mentally stimulated with toy play or walks cause he will make up his own games which includes a focus on cars so while he's a calm, easy going guy, he still needs to play, play, play. Budie is great with kids and fine with cats and could easily join other dogs in a family or be a beloved companion. Budie was abandoned at a shelter in NJ due to allergies. He is 60 pounds and a bit taller than the average BC.  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

She is good with cats. Kellie came to the Farm from a PA shelter where she had been found as a stray. She came to the Farm with a broken leg which is  now all set to go.  She'll have a bit of a turn outward but orthopedic surgeons agree that it's as good as it can be.

JUDD: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie mix (possibly Great Pyrenees), Judd is a lover, so excited to be with everyone and what a happy guy he is! He's good natured, easy going and just reminds us why BC mixes are such great dogs. He is energetic and playful, eager to be with a person. He gets very excited and since he's a big boy, could easily overwhelm kids so best in an adult home who can focus his energy and mind, all in one direction. Judd needs a great yard to explore and run since he is an active guy who loves to play, his favorite toy is the jolly ball and he'll leap across fields, racing to play time and time again. He's like a big puppy.  Judd is interested in other dogs but could live as a solo dog. He is a tall mix and bigger boned and since he came from a farm area, he just might be part Great Pyrenees but we don't know for sure.

Tripp is good with cats and lived in one home since a pup, from a nearby breeder. He lived with senior guardians who surrendered him to their local vet in CT who contacted us to take him into rescue.

RUBY: An 9 month old Border Collie, Ruby is a lover, a doll and all action, non-stop go, go go, just like every other young BC!

Focused totally on the dog's needs, Gwen is about to enjoy tons of BC games, racing and chasing and enjoy plenty of toy play as her life unfolds in Canada.

WILLOW: A 6 year old Border Collie, Willow is finally taking interest in the people around her, not so lost in her own world.

Of all the TN dogs, she is the saddest case but we expect the greatest transformation as she finds her spirit again.  She'll be at the Farm awhile as she finishes her heartworm treatment and then ready for foster care. She is fine with other dogs but in need, mostly, of a person, to focus on her and give her the love she has clearly never had.

She was living in an unfenced situation on a Farm and the farmer didn't want her because she wouldn't herd the cows.
