Juicy is very sweet dog and she is very closely bonded with our families. We adopted her in Plano Animal Shelter in Dallas, TX when she was six months old. However my husband and I are both busy with one young kid and work. We can’t spend much time with her. We are under a lot of financial stress as well. Looking forward to rehoming Juicy to give her a better life!

Pace loves car rides, walks and hiking! He does well in public but can get nervous and be skittish, but does warm up in time. Pace would be best suited for a home who has had border collies before as he has some BC- like traits including the following; a busy mind, can herd other dogs and need redirection, noise triggers and someone willing to manage and further navigate his integration into society. Pace is very sweet and has a "soft" personality. He really wants to do good and please his owner. Pace's Ideal Home -Someone who is home often -an active home -experienced with herding dogs -a committed home to work with furthering his training - a home with a yard -another dog might be a bonus on the other dogs temperament Pace is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines and is microchipped.

Story
!n Santa Cruz - Meet Ranger, a 8 year old Border Collie male. Ranger is is typical border collie who is playful and super smart. Ranger came to us after his owner passed away. He was loved but didn't get out too much. He was 1 of 4+ plus dogs and we think the dogs were left to their own devices. With this being said, Ranger can be nervous in public and is more of a homebody. Ranger can be good with other dogs when he gains trust with them but we think he be best suited for a home as the only pet (no cats). Ranger's ideal home would be: -a home where he can be a priority -a home experienced with border collies or other herding breeds -owners that are understanding of his sensitives in pubic -would be best suited as the only pet Ranger is a fun loving border collie but he also has an off switch! He is perfectly happy relaxing on the couch hanging out with his owners. Ranger will make his people very happy but they also need to be understanding of his background and manage his environment. Ranger is; fully house trained, has good house manners, no nuisance barking and is easy to live with. He also has some basic training under the right circumstances. Ranger is is neutered, up-to-date and microchipped. If you would like to learn more about this sweet guy, please submit an application. https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.
