My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Roxy.  Roxy is a female 3-4 year old red and white purebred Border
Collie.  She came into rescue with her gal pal Reighner.  We do not feel
they are sisters, but there is a possibility that they could be mother and
daughter.  These gals adore one another.  They do not have to be placed
together, but if you are looking to adopt 2, then consider Roxy and
Reighner.  As a pair, they are both pretty easy going.  Both Reighner and
Roxy are very sweet and affectionate, as they vie for your attention.  These
gals are BFF material and would like nothing better than to forge a close
bond with you.

Roxy runs alongside Reighner when you throw the ball.  She walks well on a
leash, and does not potty in her kennel at night.  So, if she is not totally
housebroken, then there will be no trouble completing her training on this.
We are working on her obedience, but being a Border Collie, this won't take
long.  When we spayed Roxy, we had a dental done on her, so her teeth are
sparkling.  Roxy has not been evaluated with cats or children.

The desired home would be one who has Border Collie or herding breed
experience.  Consistent daily exercise is a must.  It is also important to
provide clear and concise direction along with mental stimulation. For those
who understand Border Collies, with their quirks and idiosyncrasies, then
Roxy is pretty easy going and is not hyperactive.  Again, Roxy and Reighner
do not need to be placed with one another, but preference will be given to
those applicants who will consider adopting both of them.

If you are interested in meeting our dogs, please fill out an adoption
application.  We require a pre-approved application to be on file before any
meet and greets are scheduled.  The electronic application can be found on
our website at
