My story

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

Border Collie mix, male

Welcome Kip!

Kip is the crown jewel as far as border collies go. Anyone lucky enough to cross paths with this dude is just mesmerized by his beauty and stoic, balanced energy. We can only imagine how radiant he’ll become once he’s got a consistently healthy diet and a flock of people to call his own. Here is what his foster has to report:

“Kip is a total love bug. He’s sweet, sensitive, and very calm. House trained, great on a leash, and is doing well in his crate. He’s been exposed to livestock a little and has been good with chickens so far

Kip is approximately 2 years old and 43lbs. He is microchipped, neutered, and UTD on vaccines. He is dog social and seemingly neutral around cats and livestock. With a savvy handler, we think this guy has potential to be around anything.

Kip is located in San Luis Obispo, CA.

More about this rescue

Central Coast Herding Dog Rescue is a Rescue Alliance partner, a federally recognized 501(c)3 non profit organization dedicated to finding great dogs great homes. County of San Luis Obispo Animal Service Operating Permit #C2649

Central Coast Border Collie Rescue (CCHDRescue) is dedicated to helping find homes for Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, Australian Cattle Dog/Queensland Heeler, Australian Kelpie, and other herding breeds and mixes. This site lists dogs in shelters as well as dogs in homes and foster care, and is intended to help adopters seeking good dogs, and dogs seeking loving homes. 7

Why we do it: Herding dogs are not for every one. Too many adopters get these dogs as status symbols only to find out, their life style doesn't meet these high energy dogs needs. As a result, these wonderful misunderstood dogs wind up in shelters. We understand what drives these dogs, we can place them appropriately.
Our mission is to educate people and save dogs. We do it because we love these dogs, with a little effort, can give them a good new life. Euthanasia is not the solution to our animal overpopulation issue. Education is.
