Story
Shut the front door—meet Ellie! This stunning girl is elegance, brains, and heart all wrapped into one gorgeous 1-year-old Border. Ellie is about 30 lbs (could use ~5 more) and absolutely shines in an active home that can keep up with her quick mind and happy feet.   Ellie’s play style is fast and her energy is high, making her an ideal match for an outdoorsy family or an individual looking for a running or hiking buddy. She’s clever (counter-surfers beware ), eager to learn, and would be a fantastic agility prospect with the right guidance and enrichment.   She’s house trained, good with other dogs and cats, and uses her crate by choice—it’s there for her comfort, not confinement. Ellie would thrive with a large yard or acreage where she can stretch her legs and put her smarts to work.   If you’re ready for a loyal, athletic companion who just needs the right energy match, Ellie might be your girl.   More info: 949-456-7032 or 949-842-2517 Apply to adopt: www.greendogfoundation.com Email: greendogfoundation@gmail.com   Physical Qualities   Age: 1 year Weight: ~30 lbs (could gain ~5 lbs) Breed: Border Collie  Coat/Color: Black & white Temperament: Smart, energetic, affectionate Training: House trained; crate trained Compatibility: Dogs &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Cats &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Ideal Home: Active lifestyle, enrichment-focused, yard or acreage    March 8, 2026, 1:58 pm

Story
If you’re looking for a full-time trail buddy and loyal best friend, this might be your guy. My wife and I are currently fostering a fun-loving 5-month-old Border Collie/Husky mix. He was on his way to a shelter just a few days ago, and we couldn’t let that happen. We brought him home to give him a chance at finding an amazing family. We both travel weekly for work, so coordinating schedules can be a bit of a juggling act, but we’ve made the next few weeks work to give him stability and time to find the right fit. In just a couple of days, here’s what we’ve learned about him: About 50/50 on potty training (and improving!) Sleeps quietly through the night in his kennel without a peep Walks well on a leash Rarely barks Friendly with people and other dogs Chews only on his toys (and occasionally on me during playtime) Already knows a couple of basic commands He’s sweet, smart, playful, and has that perfect mix of adventure and affection.

Story
This is Oreo! He’s a border collie mix. He is almost 2 years old. He loves adventures, walks, water and to cuddle! He’s a little scared and wary when meeting new people but warms up if you come with treats! He had been raised with a cat who is his best buddy! We can no longer keep him because our older dog does not get along with him and we can’t rehome our older dog. He would be an amazing addition to any family! Willing to pay for neuter and updated shots as well ! To the right family I will also waive the fee !

Story
Thor is a Border Collie mix, he is between 2-3 years old. we’re unsure of what he’s mixed with. He’s a good dog who would do well with someone who can put effort into him. He already knows his basic commands and would easily learn more if taken the time. Unfortunately my wife is allergic to him so we’re seeking for him to go somewhere good.

Story
Echo is a 4-year-old male Border Collie / Blue Heeler mix and is neutered. He is: AMAZING with kids (super patient & gentle) House trained & crate trained Up to date on vaccinations Ball driven (not food motivated) Loves fetch and will play until he’s out of energy LOVES to cuddle and be with his people Sweet, loyal, and very affectionate Echo can be reactive on leash or through barriers (fences/gates), but with proper introductions he is happy to play or coexist. He is not aggressive. Echo would love an active individual or family, preferably with herding breed experience, who can give him exercise, structure, and mental stimulation. Due to military orders, frequent moves, limited space for the level of exercise he needs and the logistics of travel (including overseas relocation), we can no longer provide the long-term stability Echo deserves. This decision is about circumstances — not behavior. No rehoming fee

Story
Whiskey and both are two year old brothers. They have always been together. These dogs are super sweet and lovable. My husband and I got them from another family nearby a month ago. I am usually always home and available to spend time with them but, the day after we got them my 87 year old mother had a heart attack and went into the hospital. She was in the hospital for 22 days and is now in a skilled nursing facility. I have been at the hospital and now the nursing facility every day. My mom had a very hard time and it was crucial for her to have family around her while she healed. She will be coming home this coming week. Then, two weeks ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I am having surgery at the end of this month. My life has completely changed in the past month. Whiskey and Bolt are very smart, happy dogs but need someone who has the time to spend with them. They are trained to sit, and wait to eat. I am hopeful that there’s a family out there that would like to take both of them.

These pups are in San Clemente, California too!
