Meet Tamara and Tia, a dynamic duo of one-year-old Border Collie girls who are as bright as they are beautiful! These sisters arrived as transfers from Chicago Animal Care and Control, and they’ve been stealing hearts since the moment they arrived.
Tamara and Tia are the total Border Collie package — clever, energetic, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining. They love to play, explore, and show off their smarts, but they also have a soft, snuggly side that makes them wonderful companions. Whether they’re romping in the yard or curling up side by side for a nap, they’re happiest when surrounded by people who love them.
While Tamara and Tia adore each other, they’re also confident enough to thrive in separate homes — so they can be adopted together or individually. We’re happy to dog- or cat-test them upon request to help find the best possible match.
Double the joy or single the sparkle — either way, Tamara and Tia are ready to make your life brighter!
Dog Day Out Review: "Tamara was the absolute sweetest girl on our doggy day out! She greeted us with instant hugs and happy jumps and you could tell right away she was full of love.
We brought her to the park for a snowy walk, and she had a BLAST. She frolicked, zoomed around, and happily sniffed all the new winter smells while getting her energy out.
Next stop: treats! We grabbed a burger from Wendy’s and a pup cup from Starbucks. Safe to say she’s a treat lover… especially when it came to the burger 😊
We wrapped up our adventure with a stroll through PetSmart, where she picked out her favorite piggy stuffy and even met the in-house trainer. That’s when we discovered she already knows how to “sit”…. especially when snacks are involved!
After all that fun, she enjoyed a bubble bath (towel dry > blow dryer… who can blame her?) and quickly fell asleep in the car on the way back. By the end of the trip, she was confidently hopping out of the car all on her own and ready for a cozy night’s sleep.
Overall, Tamara was an absolute angel. She’s friendly, happy, and so easy to love. With just 20–30 minutes of walking and play, she was perfectly content to relax and enjoy the ride. Whoever gets to call her their own is going to be very, very lucky 🐾💖"
