Story
Meet Trixie! A delightful three-year-old Border Collie mix hailing from San Jose, California. With her radiant and friendly disposition, Trixie is a bundle of joy who thrives on human interaction and loves the company of both people and fellow canines! This spirited pooch enjoys nothing more than engaging in playful antics, whether it's a lively game of fetch with her favorite chew toys and balls or a spirited round of tug of war. Trixie's exuberance is matched only by her affectionate nature; she's a cuddle enthusiast who adores snuggling up with her loved ones! An athletic and robust companion, Trixie is always up for outdoor adventures, relishing her daily walks and exploring the great outdoors. While she may sometimes exhibit a bit of leash-pulling excitement, her friendly demeanor shines through, making her a hit with both fellow dogs and strangers alike. Trixie would do best with a fenced-in yard. Trixie shares her home with a small canine friend, with whom she gets along famously. Although she tolerates the feline resident, a household without cats may be more suitable for her. Additionally, Trixie's herding instincts may lead her to corral active children, so she'd thrive best in a household with older kids or without children. This intelligent pup is a quick learner and eager to please, making her a joy to train! Fully house-trained and accustomed to using a doggie door, Trixie is ready to adapt to her new environment with ease. She's spayed and up-to-date on all her immunizations, ensuring she's primed for her next chapter in life! If you're ready to welcome Trixie into your heart and home, don't hesitate to reach out to us at adopt@joyfulpets.com for more information! While Trixie currently resides with her loving family in San Jose, California, they're open to the possibility of a long-distance adoption, extending her reach to potential forever homes beyond their region. Simply submit your application through the provided link, and we'll gladly facilitate the introduction process. Trixie is eagerly awaiting the chance to become your faithful companion and cherished family member! https://forms.gle/jcU4Nx679Kpw4uTC7

PJ is an intelligent and exuberant pup. His former owners got him at 8 weeks and had an elderly small dog and two young children.

Story
Polly is a smart, affectionate 5-year-old dog who’s full of personality and eager to bond with her people. She knows several commands—like sit, spin, down, and “sit pretty”—and is motivated by both treats and play. Polly enjoys walks, romping in the snow, and soaking up attention from her favorite humans. She thrives on structure and enrichment, especially puzzle feeders and toys she can really engage with. Polly will do best with an adopter who understands her energetic spirit and is committed to setting her up for success in a calm, structured home. To meet Polly, visit the Best Friends Pet Adoption Center at 1845 Pontius Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90025. We're open daily from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm. You can also email us at adoptla@bestfriends.org. Please remember, pets cannot be held or reserved. Come by and see if Polly is the perfect match for you!

Help me find beloved dog new home. I'm currently suffering from domestic violence, and it has come to the point where I'm afraid I won't be able to keep Patches safe, and I am currently unable to get away from my situation, which is why I am rehoming her. She is extremely sweet, she's quite relaxed for a border collie. She loves people, she's great with kids and has been raised around cats since she was a puppy, she is currently 8 years old. She loves rubber ducks, and going for walks and cuddles, she is very intelligent she understands commands such as sit, stay, and down. She also responds to clicking sounds and saying come, she knows her name and she has even taught herself some commands such as "excuse me", she is a very polite dog. I wouldn't rehome her if it wasn't absolutely necessary, I love her very much, she is an amazing dog and I want to find her a home with loving people who will appreciate her for the lovely pup she is.

Border Collie fun facts

Fun Facts:

The non-human animal who has the largest tested vocabulary is a Border Collie named Chaser. Not only does Chaser know many common nouns like tree, ball, and house, she can correctly retrieve by name over 1,000 differently-named toys!

Border Collies are so skilled at agility tests that often in England, they are disqualified from participating in competitions because they are leaps and bounds ahead of other breeds. Competitions include classes for "ABC Dogs" -- "Anything But Collies."

Another brilliant and famous Border Collie named Betsy (who was on the cover of the National Geographic in 2008) knows 15 people by name alone, and is thought to learn as quickly as a human toddler, if not faster.
