Story
If you love herding dogs and are looking for a velcro dog, Molly is your girl! This sweetheart is absolutely dedicated to her human. Molly will attempt to hug you every second of every minute she is with you. Trying to pick something up off the floor? Nope, you're getting smothered in kisses. Want to go to the bathroom by yourself? Uh un, no you may not shut that door without this sleek little shadow zipping in faster than lightning. Molly was brought to the shelter as a stray, and her coat and behaviors show she was out on a grand adventure for a bit. Now that she is clean and groomed, this black beauty is a cuddle bug who easily redirects from inspecting the trash. Molly needs slow introductions to other dogs and does well with submissive dogs. She does very well with redirection and distraction when she starts to get antsy around other dogs. Really, these behaviors are insecurity of her environment, but she has learned to adapt to pack life quite easily. Her herding instincts are very strong and she loves to play with the herding ball and direct the other dogs in games of chase. Molly has not been tested with cats, but she would likely chase them. She is a little nervous when loose in the car, but rides very well in her kennel. She likes to bark at grey trucks in particular. Molly is approximately 2 years old, is spayed, and is UTD on her vaccinations. She will need an active family who can give her the exercise and mental stimulation this girl needs to thrive!

Story
Poki is a female Border Collie mix: five years old and spayed, healthy: all shots up to date and on a monthly heartworm/flea preventative. Poki has a lot of energy and high herding drive. She does not get along with other female dogs and small children. She is good with cats. She has tried to herd humans, jumping on them and nipping. She would be best as an only dog with a high energy family. She loves hiking. Poki is obedience trained and also does some basic agility and other tricks. She is really good at fetch and find it and knows sit, stay (not her best) lay down, spin, through, go under, go through, go over/on, jump, release and touch. She crates in the truck (interior) and for sleeping. She goes to the boarder when we are not home with no issues. We love Poki very much, but we have another special needs dog and elders we care for and she only gets limited attention daily. She needs an active family who can deal with her high energy and herding instincts.

These pups are in Elk Grove, California too!
