SIERRA's story...
Sierra is a 2-3 year old Papillon. Quiet a beauty and we find her "goofy ear" endearing. She is a red sable. An active and lightening quick Pap, she should excel at agility.
Sierra can run with large or small dogs. She is a dominant female and has no trouble bossing the larger dogs around. She would probably be happiest as an only dog so she can be the queen. She bonds very tightly and does not like to share attention. She is vocal and grousy when she wants something. She failed her temperament test in shelter and was slated for euthanasia. She is not bad at all, however she does need an adopter that she can not wrap round her paw ;-)
Sierra loves to go for rides and is always ready for a new journey. She is a velcro dog, wanting to be with her human all the time. She is an awesome dog we have no problem keeping, but she has shown us she would be much happier not dealing with the new fosters "invading" her turf on a regular basis. With this, we have decided to give her what she wants....a home where she doesn't have to share so much or at all.
She would love an active person to call her own. Is that you?
Sierra's adoption fee includes her quarantine to ensure she is free of shelter "cooties", spay, vet check, DHPP & rabies vaccinations, deworming, and an Avid microchip. If you are interested in Sierra, email tierra_taz@peoplepc.com for information about our adoption process and to set up a telephone interview.
Border Collies in Need, Inc. was founded in 2007 by a group of non-paid volunteers who have come together to rescue and foster Border Collies (BCs). Border Collies in Need is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing Border Collies who are abandoned, neglected, or abused, and placing them into permanent, loving homes. Our dogs come to us from a variety of different sources such as City and County Shelters and strays. We also accept dogs from private individuals, or offer assistance to those needing help to re-home their family pets, who for whatever reason must relinquish their Border Collie(s).
Our ultimate purpose is to match homeless or potentially homeless Border Collies with loving permanent families, specifically interested in the breed. We will accomplish this by providing temporary foster care, necessary and reasonable veterinary treatment, temperament evaluations of the dogs, and interviewing suitability of potential adopters, which includes a “home-check.” Each dog is provided with all necessary and reasonable veterinary treatment, vaccinations, sterilization, and micro-chipping.
Border Collies in Need recognizes the need to expand its horizons beyond the basic rescue duties, and network closely with regional Border Collie clubs which includes herding, agility, and flyball activities for sport and competition. Border Collies In Need recognizes that many regional Border Collie clubs do not have funds to support rescue even though they are the ones who are looked upon as the caretakers of the breed.
It is through the mutual admiration and respect of this breed that will encourage awareness to their plight by breed education, by promoting rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption.
You can meet our beautiful border collies either by visiting us at an adoption event or by appointment. Our dogs for adoption can be viewed on our website at: http://www.bordercolliesinneed.org/bordercollie_rescue_and_adoptions/index.html For event announcements, visit: http://www.bordercolliesinneed.org/events.html.
Our Adoption Process...
The dogs in our program are fully tested and evaluated for temperament, sterilized, micro chipped, and all required vaccinations have been administered prior to adoption.
In order to adopt a dog from BCs in Need, Inc., you must first submit an Adoption Application. You will be contacted by one of our volunteers to discuss your application and the BC traits you desire for your companion. Once your application has been approved, you will be eligible to adopt.
To submit your application, you may apply online. The more information that you can give us on your application helps us to determine if the dog is the right match for you. Additionally, we may recommend others for your consideration that would fit into your lifestyle. We strive to mutually match our dogs into forever homes with adopters. You will be notified by email or telephone when your application has been approved.
We schedule adoptions by appointment only or you can visit us at local adoption events which are listed on our Events Page. If you have another dog, you will need to bring it with you to see if they are compatible with one another. We will do a home check, however, pictures of your home, yard, fencing, gates, and where the dog will sleep are encouraged.
If you have any questions please email us at rescue@bordercolliesinneed.org.
