Story
This is Odin! He is a 9 year old Border Collie. Once he gets used to someone, he loves to be around them. Complete transparency, He is a reactive dog and will not get along with strangers. He has the following neurotic tendencies: Compulsive habits: Licking the floor or legs when stressed or feels he needs a "job", biting the closest thing to him (Furniture item, NOT people) Restlessness: consistent jumping at things in the air trying to "catch" them, and an inability to settle down and rest even after playing. Fixations: Staring intensely at walls or lights that are casted on walls/ items. Destruction: When stressed or in a "trace" he tends to bite or tear up furniture. He does not destroy any other items when not in this state. Vocalizing: Barking when scared or hears a delivery driver. He is such a handsome and sweet boy, he just needs someone that can give him more time and energy. He loves catching frisbees and cuddling close and he has the best "smile".

Story
Wanda is the perfect combo - the legs of a giraffe, ears of a fox, and fur highlights any hairdresser would be proud of. She is a sweet, sweet soul who is still learning to trust and settle in.  She is a little uncertain of other people and dogs on walks but LOVES praise and looks to you for guidance. While she is really good at hanging while we work, or being lazy when we are, we know she's got some energy in there! We think she'd do great in an active home - whether that be going on runs, or hikes, or maybe even a medal winning agility dog if she aims high. We think she would thrive in a house with another dog sibling to show her the ropes. She becomes so playful once she has warmed up to another dog, and becomes much more confident with a buddy by her side. She immediately loved the visitors we've had to our house and we get full body wiggles and whines of excitement when we leave the room even just for a second and come back. She's a lover! Wanda is getting braver and more confident each day, and her puppy continues to come out! She could spend all day outside, watching the squirrels and birds, sniffing flowers and rolling in the grass. Potty training is a work in progress but we have already seen improvements. She has been sleeping in her crate at night and whining in the morning when she needs to get out. We have yet to see her use the bathroom on a leash however - she's stubbornly good at holding it and likes her privacy, so she consistently goes to a certain spot in our yard. She's very food motivated and responsive to any redirecting her away from things, especially for a puppy who is curious about everything! Don't you Wanda bring her home?! ##2841948##

Story
Meet Matilda — Beauty, Brains, and a Whole Lot of Heart! Matilda is a gorgeous Border Collie / Australian Cattle Dog mix with a brilliant mind, a loving heart, and a zest for life! She’s incredibly smart, eager to learn, loyal to her people, and wonderfully affectionate.  This clever girl has a sensitive side, too. Matilda can become overstimulated in busy environments, and she needs a home that understands her and sets her up for success. Her ideal match would be one or two adults in a calm, predictable household, with fewer visitors and plenty of opportunities for one-on-one bonding, training, walks, and enrichment.Herding breed experience is a must for Matilda. She is a typical female herding breed - she likes things to be in order and if she feels they are not, she nips and herds. She is affectionate with other dogs and cats although her play style is exuberrant and too much for many dogs. She loves to snuggle with the cat but if a cat runs, game on. Her future family will need to manage interactions carefully and be committed to continuing her training.  Matilda has so much to offer the right person! She is sweet, loving, intelligent, and eager to bond with her people. She deserves a home where she can relax, feel secure, and shine without the stress of a busy household or competing for attention. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will keep you on your toes intellectually and fill your heart with love, Matilda may be your girl. She needs more than a home that admires her beauty and brains—she needs a home that understands her and is ready to help her thrive. If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip. ##2727412##

Story
Meet Jasper — This good looking Border Collie pup is around 8 months of age and weighs 47 pounds.   Handsome? Absolutely.Sweet? Without a doubt.Affectionate? Oh, you bet! Jasper is a striking black-and-white Border Collie with expressive eyes, a gorgeous coat and a personality that is impossible not to love. At just 8 months old, he's already proving that being a Border Collie isn't just about brains and beauty — it's also about having a BIG heart. Jasper loves spending his days playing with other dogs, so a playful canine companion would be a wonderful bonus in his new home. He's got the fun, bouncy energy you'd expect from a young Border Collie and would thrive with a family ready to give him playtime, exercise, attention and opportunities to keep his clever little brain busy. He lived with kids under 12 and was great with them. He is well mannered on leash and loves a good walk or hike. But Jasper's favorite activity might just be loving his people. This boy is an absolute hugger. And we're not talking about a little lean against your leg. Jasper will actually wrap himself around your legs for a full-on hug! Jasper is also doing great with his kennel manners. If Jasper were writing the rules, we're pretty sure “spend time in the kennel” would be struck from the handbook immediately. He'd much rather be out playing with his dog friends or hanging out with his people. Jasper's Ideal Home Jasper would love a family who: Wants an affectionate, people-loving companion Enjoys having a playful dog around Can provide plenty of exercise, play and mental engagement Will continue his training as he grows Needs a canine play companion He's handsome. He's playful. He's smart.  Interested in adopting? Please complete an adoption application at: Circle 2 Rescue Dog Adoption Application   Adoption Fee: $250, which includes:  Neuter  Age-appropriate vaccinations  Deworming  Microchip  ##2852417##

Story
All people inquiring about pets listed as Courtesy Listings on the EAPL website and/or EAPL posting adoption boards should contact the current pet owner/rescue/shelter for answers to any questions and for final approval and placement. Please do not contact EAPL  about courtesy listings. The pet owner/rescue/shelter and new owner shall make all arrangements on transferring the pet, including information on history, vaccines, etc.    Rocky: Sweet, loyal 10-year-old border collie mix in need of a new home. Rocky has lived in Boulder with his people for 10 years, since being adopted as a puppy. Sadly his parents have both gone into care and can no longer look after him. Rocky has up to date vaccinations, loves long walks and swims and is happy in the car. He gets separation anxiety and sometimes nips ankles due to his herding instinct. He gets along with neutered adult dogs but should not be loose around puppies or children. He is in need of an experienced dog owner who will help him lose 15 lbs and enjoy his final years. Rocky knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. Please contact chloekannan@gmail.com if you are interested in rehoming Rocky. October 27, 2026, 4:43 pm
