Story
Meet Nikki!Nikki is a stunning 2 year old Border Collie mix with a bright mind, an athletic build, and a whole lot of untapped potential. She was originally adopted from us as a young, sweet, and ready-for-anything puppy, but unfortunately didn’t get the guidance, socialization, or confidence-building she deserved in her previous home. Now that she is back with us, Nikki is getting a well-earned second chance—and this time, we’re determined to find her the kind of home and family that truly shows up for her!Like many herding breeds/mixes, Nikki is full of energy and always ready to move! She’s tall, lean, and lightning-fast making her the perfect companion for someone who loves outdoor adventures, games of fetch, and staying active! Give her a ball and some space to run, and you’ll see her absolutely light up with joy!Nikki is also incredibly smart—seriously, this girl is a quick study! She is eager and loves to learn. Nikki thrives when given structure and attention, making training not only easy but genuinely fun. She’s the kind of dog who will form a deep connection and bond with her person through shared activities and positive reinforcement (and maybe tasty treats.)When it comes to other dogs, Nikki is still figuring things out. She can be a bit unsure and vocal, likely due to missing out on proper early socialization. Our team is working with her to build those skills, but for now, she may do best as the only dog in the home—or with an experienced, dog-savvy adopter who’s willing to continue her training journey and help her gain confidence with other at her own pace.The good news? Nikki absolutely loves people. She’s friendly, eager to connect, and quick to make human friends. With the right person by her side, she’s going to blossom into an incredible, loyal companion!Nikki isn’t looking for perfect—she’s looking for committed. Someone who understands that great dogs don’t just happen, they’re built through patience, consistency, and love. If you’re ready to put in the time, Nikki is more than ready to give you her whole heart in return. Come meet Nikki and see just how special she is—you might just be the fresh start she’s been waiting for!

Story
Missy is a 2-3 yrs old, 50 lbs, country girl who is happy and social! She loves getting attention from people, going riding in trucks, and has done great with other dogs. She has also been exposed to horses, chickens and cats. Although we don't feel she would want to harm a cat, she does enjoy chasing them which could be scary for some cats!
