Border Collie puppies and dogs in Estes Park, Colorado

Recently, our 9-month-old son was crawling past Marlin. Marlin gave a quick corrective nip/bite that unfortunately caught our son on the face. While it was clearly a boundary-setting response rather than a sustained or aggressive attack, it resulted in a facial injury. Given our son’s young age and mobility, we can no longer safely manage the household environment to prevent another incident. We feel strongly that Marlin deserves a home where he doesn't feel stressed by unpredictable infant behavior.

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 mild separation anxiety and thunderstorm anxiety and sometimes nips ankles due to his herding instinct. He has never bitten. 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 some weight and enjoy his final years. Rocky knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. He’s a very loving, sweet dog who will adore his new owners.

From Their Previous Shelter: (Wombat was renamed to Fred) Playgroup - https://youtube.com/shorts/ACr7eAojAxk?feature=share Playgroup - https://youtube.com/shorts/VesBHVEzH34?feature=share Playgroup - https://youtube.com/shorts/gV55sTOz1n0?feature=share 🤎 Meet Wombat – the Pool-Loving Border Collie with the Biggest Smile! 🐾💦 Don't let the name fool you... Wombat may not dig burrows, but he will dig his way straight into your heart! This handsome 1-year-old Border Collie weighs 55 pounds and is the perfect combination of sweet, gentle, and goofy. With his striking tri-colored coat, soulful amber eyes, and smile that could light up an entire room, Wombat has all the makings of an unforgettable best friend. Wombat arrived at the shelter after being left in the overnight drop box as a stray, but he's ready to leave that chapter behind and start the adventure he's always deserved. While he can be a little polite when meeting new dogs, it doesn't take long before his tail starts wagging and he's handing out sweet little kisses to his new friends. He's a gentle soul who enjoys getting to know others at his own pace, and once he does, his happy, loving personality shines through. This charming boy is treat motivated (snacks are definitely the way to his heart!) and while toys don't impress him much, there's one thing he absolutely can't resist... A pool! Give Wombat a kiddie pool, and you'll have one happy dog. Whether he's splashing around to cool off or simply sitting in the water like he's enjoying a day at the spa, this sweet guy knows how to appreciate the simple things in life. Wombat also walks beautifully on leash, settles nicely in his kennel, and has a calm, easygoing personality that makes him a pleasure to spend time with. He's the kind of dog who would happily join you for a morning walk, a weekend hike, or an afternoon relaxing in the backyard before cooling off with a splash in the water. We think Wombat would absolutely thrive embracing Colorado life—exploring mountain trails, wandering through wildflower meadows, splashing in cool lakes and streams, and ending each adventure with a well-earned nap beside the people he loves. He's sweet. He's charming. He's gentle. And he's ready to trade shelter life for forever life. If you're searching for a loyal companion with a goofy smile, a kind heart, and a love for life's simple pleasures, Wombat is ready to be your new adventure buddy. Come meet this wonderful boy—you might just find the missing piece of your family. 🤎🏔️💦🐾 Interested in this furry companion?

We adopted our sweet boy from a humane shelter and later learned through DNA testing that he is 100% Border Collie. He has typical herding instincts but is on the lower-drive side for the breed. He is smart, eager to please, and loves playing ball, hiking, and training with his person. He knows basic commands including come, sit, and place, and is both house and crate trained. He can be skittish around small children, so we believe he would do best in a home without young kids. We also want to be transparent about his medical needs. He has an extra vertebra that causes some back pain. He is currently in physical therapy and takes medication to manage his discomfort. His ideal adopter will be willing and able to continue this level of care. He is a loving, intelligent dog who would thrive with someone who enjoys staying active, training, and building a strong bond with their dog.

Otter is a 6 month old mixed breed dog, from New Mexico. He was found wandering alone on the highway and turned into animal control, where no one claimed him. Otter is now in a foster home in Fort Collins. We are guessing him to be. border collie/terrier mix, but he may have many breeds mixed in. He is very sweet and loves to play with other dogs, and has so far been kennel trained and quiet. He barks when he plays but not when alone in his kennel. He is about 23 lbs currently, and probably won't grow to more than 30 lbs full grown. We have not seen him with cats yet. Otter is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.

Oscar is an almost 2 year old Border Collie mix. Sadly, Oscar spent the majority of his life in a large shelter. He went in when he was about 10 weeks old and stayed there until he was a year and a half, when we were able to get him out. Since then he's been in a foster home. He was very very nervous when he first came in, and wanted nothing to do with new people. He was very gentle however and would just cower or hide when nervous. Since being in foster, he has come a very long way. He walks very well on leash with his trusted people, and doesn't seem scared of car/traffic noises. He is still very shy of new people, but once warmed up he's very sweet and offers tail wags, and likes to be pet. He is kennel trained and likes to go into his kennel as a safe space, and is very food motivated. He is potty trained and will potty on leash. Oscar will need. very patient and quiet home, with the understanding that he will take time to warm up but then will be a very sweet guy. We also recommend he go to a home with other dogs, since he absolutely loves all other dogs and will need a confident dog to show him that things are ok!Oscar is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.
