TUCKER: A 2 1/2 year old tri-color Border Collie with papers, Tucker is a wonderful and delightful high energy, fun-loving border collie. He is absolutely ball crazy so would love a sports oriented home for lots of play. He could excel in anything athletic, particularly flyball. Tucker is very friendly, very outgoing and brilliant. He is eager to please and can learn very quickly. He is also good with other dogs and would be happy with another Border Collie for active, mental games. He is good with cats, good in the car and an all around great dog but not for an unseasoned Border Collie home. He is high intensity. He is typical in size for the breed, about 45 pounds. Tucker lived in one home his whole life and was relinquished to the farm due to a move. He came from western NY. 

CHARLIE: An adorable 7 month old Border Collie, Charlie is a sweetheart, just a love bug. He comes up for affection and attention and happily races and plays with any young Border Collie at the Farm.

Comical, sweet Paige found her forever home with adopters who got their first dog five years ago from us and really wanted another great addition to the family.

We have adopted "Lucky" from Chris in NJ.  We found him on your web site. It was love at first sight!  We have no concerns over his "handicap" of losing a leg.  Already he responds to his new name "Trey"; is spunky around other dog friends; is comfortable in his kennel at night; sits on command and runs like the wind. As you can see from the picture we are as happy as can be.  We are making a donation to your farm in honor of Chris and the others in NJ and PA who "rescued" him.  Our thanks to you and them for the new addition to our family. Lucky now lives in Binghamton NY

LUCKY: Little Lucky is lucky with an angel looking over his shoulder. At 5 months old, he was recently run over by a four wheeler, taken to the vet by the family who thought he was dead and carelessly had no interest in saving him. The vet felt otherwise cause this pup is sweet and brilliant with a wonderful spirit. Even with one leg gone, he has unbounded energy to do everything, meet everyone and basically enjoy life as a very happy go lucky Border Collie. Lucky bonds with people very quickly and loves to put his head right in your lap. He hops around very well and is learning to do stairs quickly (3-4 he's fine with but a whole flight is too much for him right now since he's still supposed to have his exercise restricted) . He rides very well in the car crated and is crate trained inside. His stitches come out at the end of August and he'll be ready for a loving home. Lucky is in Mount Olive Township, NJ in a foster home temporarily.

He needs a physical and mental outlet like sports so will be best in an active home. He will be placed with older teenage children rather than young kids since he can be nippy like many Border Collies. Bow is good with cats. He can be the solo dog in the right situation or easily live with another Border Collie. Bow was relinquished to the farm from Long Island guardians who felt he would do better in an adult home. 

KATE: A beautiful 8 month old Border Collie, Kate is sweet, smart and eager to bond.

She came to the Farm from a shelter in TN that asked us for special help.

MOLLY is a beautiful petite border collie who is about a year and half old. She loves human interaction and has incredible athletic ability. She loves to play ball - anyone who has read about border collies that are obsessive about ball play, Molly should be the poster child! She is also very talented at Frisbee play.

She would probably be better off as an only dog, although having dog friends and visitors would be a good thing. She loves the interaction but likes her one on one time with her human(s).

HAPPY THANKSGIVING NEWS!!!

Thanksgiving cheer came to the farm today when Tibbs and Lass were adopted together! We are so incredibly happy that such wonderful guardians came with the idea that having older dogs was the perfect fit for their lives and that these special two dogs could live together, loved forever....As they said, "we are older so we want older dogs and we love having ready made companions and giving dogs a home that really deserve it". They thought these two were absolutely adorable. Both Lass and Tibbs, much like a married couple, play around each other, checking out who has what and yet happy to be on their own, in the spotlight. 

We are so thankful for kind people who open their hearts and make room in their lives for older dogs. Lass and Tibbs will be living in upstate NY on their very own 6 1/2 acre farm. A special thanks to Meg Ramsay for planting the seeds to help this be a reality.
