Story
River is a beautiful, intelligent, and affectionate purebred Border Collie born on June 2, 2024. We adopted him from a breeder, and he comes with AKC registration paperwork and documented pedigree information from official stud book records. River has been an incredible dog in so many ways. He is exceptionally smart, eager to please, highly trainable, and obedient. He learns commands quickly, loves spending time with his people, and enjoys playing, being active, and receiving affection. He is also good with other dogs. Unfortunately, as River has matured, he has developed increasingly concerning aggression toward the children in our home. He has displayed growling, staring, and lunging behaviors. Our greatest hope is to find River a safe, loving, and appropriate environment where he can receive the attention and enrichment he deserves. We love him dearly and want to make the most responsible decision for both River and our family.

Story
Meet Baloo! Personality & Energy Level: Baloo is an exceptionally smart, energetic puppy with a strong desire to learn and please his people. As a Border Collie and Kelpie mix, he is an active working-breed dog who needs plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation. He will thrive with a family that enjoys an active lifestyle and can provide long walks, daily activities, and consistent training. After a good session of exercise and activity, Baloo is happy to settle down on the floor and entertain himself with his dog toys. Baloo will benefit from continued training, consistency, and clear expectations. His intelligence and willingness to learn make him a wonderful candidate for someone who enjoys working with and training their dog. Training & Intelligence: Baloo is very intelligent and has learned commands remarkably quickly with his foster family. He is eager to please and enjoys learning new things. Commands he currently knows: - Sit - Lay down - Off - Shake - Come here - Wait / Release - Leave it - Go peepee He has also learned to wait for his release cue before exiting through the front door. Compatibility - Children: Loves kids. - Other Dogs: Loves other dogs and enjoys playing with them. - Cats: Has not been tested with cats. Leash Training: Baloo currently barks at other dogs while walking on a leash because he is excited and wants to play with every dog he sees. He will need additional leash training to learn appropriate walking manners and remain focused around other dogs. Ideal Home: Baloo needs an active home with people who have the time and commitment to provide daily exercise, training, and activities. He would do best with an owner who is patient, consistent, and comfortable working with an intelligent, high-energy working breed. He could be an excellent candidate for a farm or property where he has a job to do. Given his Border Collie and Kelpie heritage, he may particularly enjoy herding-related activities such as driving, gathering, tending, or droving. With the right training and introduction, he could also enjoy having responsibilities around a property. Baloo is not recommended for a sedentary household or someone who does not have the time to dedicate to his exercise, training, and mental stimulation. What Makes Baloo Special? Baloo has the intelligence, energy, and eagerness to please that make working breeds so special. He learns quickly, loves people and other dogs, and wants to be involved in whatever his family is doing. With an active home, continued training, and a purpose, Baloo has the potential to become an incredible lifelong companion.

Story
Are you looking for a high-energy, affectionate companion who thrives with structure and enjoys being close to home? Meet Dolly, a lively and loving pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Personality & Traits - Dolly is a joyful, energetic girl who loves to stay active and engaged throughout the day. She’s a cheerful chatterbox, expressing herself with grumbles, snorts, yips, and barks. While she has plenty of energy to burn, Dolly is most comfortable in her home environment, where she can play, explore the yard, and then settle in with her people. Training & Behavior - Kennel Trained: Dolly feels safe and relaxed in her kennel, making it her ideal place to unwind. - Basic Commands: She’s eager to learn and enjoys training, though distractions, especially other dogs, can pull her focus. Consistency and positive reinforcement work well for her. - Leash Training: Dolly is still polishing her leash skills and continues to make progress with regular practice. - Watchful Nature: She likes to patrol her space and will alert you to activity around the property, particularly along the fence line. We’re actively working on recall in these moments. Important Home Requirements - No Small Animals or Cats: Due to her strong prey drive, Dolly cannot live with small animals or cats. This is non-negotiable. Quirks & Fun Facts - Paper Products Beware: Dolly finds shredding paper irresistible, so important items should stay out of reach. - Quick Paws: She has a playful habit of grabbing small objects when the opportunity arises. Burying Treats: Dolly enjoys burying her food and treats, showing off her instinctive side. Dog Friendly - Dolly enjoys the company of other dogs but can get overly excited during play and may need reminders to keep things polite. Health & Wellness - Dolly is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She’s healthy and ready to find her forever home. Crowds & Outings - Dolly can become overstimulated in busy or chaotic environments. She does best with planned activity, enrichment, and play at home, rather than frequent trips to crowded public spaces. Ideal Home - Dolly would thrive in an active home with a secure yard where she can run, play, and burn energy daily. She needs both physical exercise and mental stimulation, followed by downtime with her humans. While she’s high energy, she doesn’t need to be taken everywhere to be happy. A family that enjoys structured play, training, and cozy evenings at home would be an excellent fit. With proper introductions and patience, she may do well with older, respectful children. Will you be the one to give Dolly the active, loving home she deserves? She’s ready to bring enthusiasm, loyalty, and plenty of affection into your life.   Estimated date of birth is 9/28/2023 and her adoption fee is $150.March 7, 2026, 12:48 pm

Story
Paddington Bear was born May 12th, 2021. He is lovingly called a chunk and is food motivated. (Especially hotdogs) He is goofy and loves snuggles and bonds especially well with women. He knows basic commands in sign language and by training. He has some fear that can be worked out with an experienced dog lover willing to expose him to new environments and people. Grew up with other dogs, so dog friendly.Preferably a house with older children or no children. Urgent to rehome due to change in living situation

Story
This is an incredibly difficult decision for our family, as he has been a wonderful dog and a loved part of our home. Over the past three years, our family has grown with the addition of multiple young children, and unfortunately, we haven’t been able to give him the time, attention, and companionship he truly deserves. He is a great dog, and our decision to rehome him has nothing to do with his behavior or personality. We simply want him to have the opportunity to be with a family or individual who can give him the attention, love, and quality time he deserves. Our priority is finding him a wonderful, loving home where he can thrive and be a cherished companion.
