Story
Nyssa is a 3-4 year-old spayed female Border Collie, around 40 lbs, who was rescued from a local CA shelter. Sadly, before finding herself abandoned and alone at the shelter, she likely grew up in the backyard confined to a kennel. Nyssa is now learning to live as a domestic pet. Amazingly and despite this, she remains a lively, energetic, and otherwise healthy dog who is remarkably intelligent, craves human interaction, and is very loyal to her hooman. Nyssa is intelligent, already understanding various commands such as "sit," "leave it" “sit pretty” and "inside” to go into the house.  She is also deeply loyal to her guardian and has a strong capacity for forming deep bonds typical of her breed. She is truly a remarkable dog who has the capacity to grow into an even more amazing companion through continued obedience training and by establishing a trusting relationship with her guardian. Nyssa is incredibly affectionate and loves people. She can be around other dogs without being on leash reactive. However, off leash and once confident, she has a habit of herding dogs, considering the trait of her breed. Nyssa loves to play ball and might be a Treibball enthusiast!  She walks well on a loose leash, crate trained and housebroken and sleeps through the night on her dog bed. Tested well with cats, but like with dogs, once confident, it is possible she may try to herd them, so possible she may need supervision/management.  Ther Ideal Family for Nyssa is: &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Someone who understands her breed Border Collies, her adjustment to living in a home, and provides her sufficient mental and physical stimulation. &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Someone who values bonding with their dog and is ready to build a deep connection. &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Someone who can provide yard space for Nyssa to move and exercise freely. Nyssa still loves people and finds her greatest happiness in being with her Hooman. With so much intelligence and energy Nyssa has limitless potential to become your perfect lifelong companion. Her right family, is one that understands her and is ready to provide her with love, care and proper training – then she is your girl! Please contact Diana at (510) 333-4420 or theperfectdogrescue@gmail.com or fill out the adoption application:  http://www.theperfectdog.org/TPDadoptapp.doc December 10, 2025, 1:18 pm

Borris.  This mellow guy loves cuddles, sofa time, toys, bones, and mealtime. He enjoys walks and car rides, and would thrive in a calm home. He’d be happy as an only dog or with a canine buddy. Looking for a laid-back companion? Borris is your guy! Energy Level?  Low House trained?  Yes Describe how they are on a leash?  He walks with a loose leash but does move from side to side—no reactivity to cars, bikes, or dogs.  Describe how they are with other dogs?  Friendly with all dogs, big and small  Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  Good with our cat and our dogs Commands they know?  Sit and come What are their favorite things? Laying on the sofa and watching a movie.  What do they need to work on?  He could benefit from additional training.  He's a fast learner. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  He can free roam the house. He has been alone for 8 hours.  Where do they sleep?  Borris sleeps on his dog bed What is their ideal home?   Borris is looking for a calm, adult home with someone kind and gentle. He’s a sweet boy who needs a little understanding. He doesn’t like to be grabbed by the collar and will give a gentle warning if he feels unsure. Borris loves his walks, car rides, and cozy downtime. He’d be happy as an only dog or with another mellow pup by his side. A peaceful home where he can feel safe and loved would be perfect for him.  October 8, 2025, 5:01 pm
