Story
When the sun shine, we shine together, told you I`ll be here forever, said I`ll always be your friend...you should adopt Ella, Ella, eh, eh, eh. Whoops, didn`t see you standing there! I`m Ella, and I`m about to SHOWER you with soooo many kisses! I`m a spritely, border collie-esque girl who can be timid at first, but I warm up quickly and will slither into your lap in no time. As you might guess, I`m also quite intelligent, so much so that I can be a bit of an escape artist if left unattended, so leashed walks or a secure yard with supervised outside time would be most ideal for me. I`ve been very friendly with other dogs but would likely do best without kitties. Get to see this adorable face up close - ask to meet me!

Story
Scout is a nearly two year old purebred border collie I got from a reputable breeder. Scout is very easy going and friendly. He loves being outdoors. I will only consider rehoming to a new owner that owns a minimum of 0.5 acres fenced and another animal. I am only rehoming because I can not give Scout the outside time he needs.

Story
Meet Lizzy – Brainy, Bouncy, and Full of Spark ?Lizzy is a smart and spirited Border Collie mix who brings big personality wherever she goes. She’s playful, affectionate, and always ready to engage—whether that’s chasing toys, learning new games, or soaking up attention from her favorite people. Lizzy knows sit, takes treats enthusiastically, enjoys car rides, and has a soft side that comes out once she settles—snuggles included.True to her herding-dog roots, Lizzy has lots of energy and opinions. She can be reactive to other dogs, especially behind barriers, and does best with slow introductions and a small, carefully chosen dog circle—or as an only dog. Impulse control and leash manners are works in progress, but she’s highly food- and toy-motivated, making her a great candidate for positive-reinforcement training. In the yard, she loves to zoom, explore, and then cool off (sometimes literally—she’s been known to take a dip when tired!).Lizzy also has some orthopedic considerations: she has an abnormal gait with patellar issues and arthritis in her hind legs. Surgery is the gold standard, but if that’s not an option, she’ll need a couch-potato lifestyle, joint supplements, and pain management under veterinary guidance. Think mental enrichment over marathon hikes—puzzle toys, training games, and structured play will be her jam.If you’re looking for a clever, loving dog with a big heart and a bigger personality, Lizzy might just be your girl. She’s ready for someone who sees her not as “too much,” but as just right.

Story
Naomi is an adorable, herding-type girl whose energy, intelligence, and enthusiasm are very typical of this breed category. She recently enjoyed a lunch outing with staff and showed just how fun and engaging she can be.She loaded easily into the car and was clearly excited for the adventure. While she did some happy wiggling and exploring at first, she settled in well with only occasional vocalizing. At the café, Naomi walked politely, sat calmly while ordering, and relaxed beautifully once food arrived, soaking up the sunshine and downtime.Naomi truly shines when she gets to move. She loved zooming around on a long line, splashing in the water, and rolling in the grass. She appears well-suited for an active home and may excel in dog sports or other structured activities that give her both physical and mental outlets.She is very treat-motivated and already knows cues such as sit, speak, and paw. She is eager to learn, with down still being a work in progress. During play, Naomi can become overstimulated and may jump up or grab at arms with some pressure while vocalizing, which is common in herding-type dogs. She responds well to redirection and slows easily with treats, and continued training will help her build appropriate play skills.Despite her high energy, Naomi also knows how to settle and relax during quieter moments, happily recharging when given the chance.Naomi is ready to go and would thrive with an adopter who understands herding breeds and is excited to continue her training, provide structure, and embrace an active lifestyle.
