Story
Meet Jasper — This good looking Border Collie pup is around 7 months of age and weighs 45 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 7 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 plenty of playtime, exercise, attention and opportunities to keep his clever little brain busy. 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. He keeps his kennel clean, although 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 stimulation Will continue his training as he grows Doesn't mind a dog who believes every human leg is an invitation for a hug Jasper is young, energetic and still has plenty of puppy growing to do, but underneath all that playful energy is a wonderfully affectionate, social and loving dog. He's handsome. He's playful. He's smart.  Interested in adopting?

Chelsea is 3yo powerhouse of energy and affection. She’s crate trained and settles well but she would love a lifestyle of activity and routine. She knows sit, stay, leave it, excuse me, lay down, back up, down, up, let’s walk and turn around.” She’s looking for an owner that will keep her active and let her snuggle up on the bed. She loves kids and I think she’d do great with a family. She bonds through play, exercise and having a job. Her 1 quirk is that she gets so excited for walks she tends to pull but were working on it :) she can also have some excitement based leash reactivity (not aggressive at all,) but usually if she’s had plenty of exercise and feels close with her person - she’s fine.

Story
It has been a heart breaking decision for my family but we have come to the conclusion to rehome our dog. A friend reached out to me asking if I could take her dog over a year ago and I said yes before realizing how much time Luna needs. Luna is 6 years old now, and she is a border collie mix. She has separation anxiety which means she will use the bathroom all over the house if no one is home even though she is potty trained. She is crate trained, but I feel awful putting her in there anytime I need to leave. On walks she she gets too aggressive with other dogs thinking it is playing so I always try my best to avoid other dogs or people. She is a cuddle bug, loves to play with her toys, and even lets me dress her up. I just can't work 10+hours a day and leave her in her kennel, she should go to someone that has a yard and more time for her. I dont want to just take her to a shelter and dump her there.

Story
 Meet Nona Some dogs don't need much time to show you what they're made of. Nona is one of those dogs.  This pretty girl is a reddish-brown Australian Cattle Dog mix with a petite 35-pound figure, beautiful eyes, and a personality that makes her very easy to fall for. Nona came to us from the Navajo Reservation after her elderly owner had to move into assisted living. Through no fault of her own, this sweet girl suddenly found herself looking for a new family. Nona is around 2 years old and has that wonderful combination of intelligence, affection and attentiveness that makes Cattle Dogs such special companions. But what really sets Nona apart is just how easy and loving she is. Her foster parents describe her as exactly that—an easy, loving dog.  She is timid when meeting someone new, but warms up quickly. Give her attention, encouragement and a little praise, and you can practically see her light up. She is eager to learn, eager to please and very happy when she knows she's made you proud. Nona loves her walks - she is curious, doesn't bark, lets people walk by her on the sidewalk, and loves to meet dogs, but doesn't insist. She's perfectly content to mind her own business and enjoy the outing with her person. Nona also doesn't need another dog in her home, but after two weeks, her foster parents are realizing she wouldn't mind! She is comfortable around other dogs and currently lives with a middle-aged male Lab. She is still learning to play both with her people and other dogs and toys but is coming along quickly on all those fronts.  She's most interested in her people and would be perfectly happy being your one-and-only pup.  At home, Nona is proving that she's ready for the good life.She is house trained in her current routine, with only two potty accidents on her very first day. She is also so well behaved that when her foster mom is away, Nona's favorite place to nap is right on the bed. And yes, she's earned that privilege! Pretty good on a leash – no barking and just a little critter chasing Comfortable with other dogs but doesn't need a canine companion House trained in her current routine Smart, attentive and eager to learn Very affectionate and quick to bond A perfect, manageable 35 pounds Well behaved enough to earn bed privileges! If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily walk beside you, curl up with you and make you feel like the most important person in the world, Nona would love to meet you. If you would like to adopt, please complete an adoption application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/   Adoption Fee: $250, which includes:  Spay  Age-appropriate vaccinations  Deworming  Microchip ##2819823##

Meet Sundance! Normally we think Australian Cattle Dog = crazy energy? Think again! Sundance is a 4-month-old, 12-14 pound ACD mix who is surprisingly mellow, mature and quite an old soul for a puppy. He’s playful and curious, but he also knows how to settle and relax. Maybe living with his foster dog siblings has taught him a thing or two! He happily lives with dogs ranging from 10 to 75 pounds and is a terrific little canine roommate. Sundance is already showing off his good manners. He’s great on leash, doing well with house training, and crate trained. He sleeps quietly through the night in his crate — no accidents and not even a peep! He’s smart, affectionate, eager to please and wonderfully balanced. He enjoys other dogs but would also be happy as a solo pup. Sundance is expected to be around 40 pounds full grown, making him a great medium-sized package. If you're looking for a smart, happy puppy without the usual puppy chaos, Sundance might be your guy! Interested in adopting - complete an application here: https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  Adoption Fee: $300 — includes neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming and microchip. ##2842842##
