JADE found her forever home with another Border Collie who is so much like her, it would almost seem like they were sisters. They both love the ball and have the same gentle yet focused natured. Jade's new guardians loved this match and are smitten with the breed, happy to have another brilliant dog for fun! Both girls will be doing agility, hiking on weekends and have tons of racing, chasing and ball play at a nearby park each day. Jade now lives in Pa.

JADE is a stunning, active, 4 yr old border collie.  She is a sweet loving dog that can chase and retrieve her ball for hours.  She has lived with other dogs, cats, and children.  She's a little shy when meeting new people, but overcomes her shyness instantly with the ball. Jade is also quite the cuddler, anxious to settle with her person after her activities.  She is 40 lbs and previously lived with cats.

ZOEY: An 1 1/2 year old petite Border Collie, Zoey is a very alert girl focused on everything around her. She loves other dogs and is interested in everything they do. She makes up toy games, throwing toys up in the air and catching them by herself, a very happy girl. She is, however, undersocialized so is afraid of people at the moment. She trembles and shakes when being touched yet comes to life when other dogs are around, eager to initiate play. She will be at the Farm as we help her gain confidence and we expect over time that she will transform into a dog ready for a new life and loving guardians. We have had over a dozen Border Collies with similar needs come into rescue and they are all now in loving homes. Her recovery may take many many months and she will only be placed in a home with another dog and a hard fence. Zoey was purposely bought by another rescuer from a 'backyard breeder' who had left her living in a filthy dark shed with no human contact. The situation was reported to the SPCA in NJ.
