Story
I have had Belle since birth as she was born from my sister's dog, Rue. She is a Border Collie German Shepherd cross and was born on November 9th, 2019. We live on a farm, and recently she's started to attack our sheep, and sadly, I cannot have a dog that will harm my animals around. She is great around kids and other dogs. She is very smart and obedient but can be shy when meeting new people. I would like her to go to a home that has a yard so that she can run around as she is very energetic and wouldn't do well in an apartment.

Story
This puppy was born on Dec. 9, 2022 and has been through a lot of changes. She has been "taken home" three times and each time due to changes in the owner's life, she has been returned to the rescue to try to finally find a reall forever family. She is a sweet dog who loves to play with other dogs, but now has trouble trusting people, because they keep disappointing her. She will need some extra care to get her over this, and find her confidence to be the best dog she can be. She will do best if she has another dog in the house to be her new bff. ##1630738##

Katie is 2 years old, super smart, and very alert. She was living with a family member who can no longer keep her so we have been fostering. Our dogs are older and her energy is not a good fit for our household. She would do well with younger dogs, a big yard, and would be a great protector. Very loyal and always likes to watch TV.
