Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Jesse, a young Border Collie about 2 years old, is up for adoption through the Midwest Border Collie Rescue in northern Illinois.  Jesse is a terrific boy who hasn't gotten the attention he should because he is a bi-color smooth-coat BC, which may seem unusual to some.  (However, smoothies are the best when it comes to coat maintainence, you should know!) Jesse is being fostered in northern Illinois and MWBCR says that he is truly a gem of a dog:  loyal, smart, loves to learn, gets along with all other dogs, not over-the-top in energy level, and with great house manners.  He's very treat and ball-motivated, which would seem to make him an excellent candidate for dog sports.   If you're interested in meeting or learning more about Jesse, please reach out to Midwest Border Collie Rescue about him.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Riccwat@aol.com for more information about this pet.Meet Danny!! Danny is a 10-month-old male dog who is currently in a foster home and working on basic skills. He is getting better at fetch and dropping the ball. He is also practicing “sit” and “wait.” Danny goes on multiple walks a day and currently uses an Easy Walk harness while he continues to work on leash manners. He is intelligent, eager to please, playful, goofy, affectionate, even-tempered, a bit skittish, and housetrained. Danny has playful puppy energy and would likely enjoy having a dog buddy who can help give him more activity. In his foster home, he plays with an older doodle and can be redirected when play gets too intense. He benefits from activity, structure, and continued training. A very active senior could handle Danny as long as they are prepared for his energy and ongoing training needs. Danny can be cautious when meeting new people. In foster care, he approached a woman and wanted to be petted, but he was not ready to make contact with a man. He has not met children or cats yet. Because Danny can be enthusiastic during play, a home with medium or larger dog friends may be the best fit. The foster reports that he is not as good with their 13-pound dog because he does not yet understand that he cannot play full out with smaller animals. The foster also notes that he is intelligent and may figure this out with time, training, and supervision. Danny does well in his kennel overall. He may bark at first when left alone, but he settles down and has not been destructive. Toys and enrichment help keep him occupied. He is not afraid of water and jumps right into the wading pool. He sees geese and deer daily and still usually barks at them; he is getting acclimated, but if he is out on a walk, he wants to chase. Danny would benefit from an adopter who can continue working with him on training, exercise, and manners. We are still getting to know Danny so stay tuned for updates!! He is being fostered in Springfield, IL. Please contact riccwat@aol.com if you have questions about Danny.       *** The potential adopter will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that the foster dog is not a good match for the applicant and we do not process their application.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 28, 2026, 6:41 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.The Center for Animal Rescue and Enrichment (CARE) of St Louis MO is seeking a forever home for Nancy Drew, a young BC mix who has been in their shelter since last September when she was picked up stray in the St Louis area. Nancy is a sweet young dog who is in need of a home where dog behavior is understood and she can receive the training she needs.  Her puppy behaviors of jumping and barking can be managed and the sooner she is adopted and out of the shelter, the sooner that positive training can begin, which will allow Nancy to be the friendly youngster that the shelter workers know. Because of her shelter environment, some things are not known about Nancy:  how she rides in a car, how she behaves around children, etc.  However, her overall personality is that of a dog who wants to learn things and be with people.   If you want to know more about Nancy Drew or make an appointment to meet her, please contact CARE St Louis at adopt@icarestl.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 28, 2026, 6:41 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact anitaremijas@gmail.com for more information about this pet. Tana — 8 Months Old • Gentle • Sensitive • Blossoming with Routine (Updated 9/24/26) Tana is an 8‑month‑old Border Collie–Australian Shepherd mix who is slowly discovering that the world can be safe, predictable, and kind. It’s possible she and her littermates were kept outdoors with very little human interaction, and she is learning many basic experiences for the first time. Personality & Temperament Tana is a soft, sweet, and gentle girl. New environments can feel overwhelming, and she needs time to adjust when her routine changes. For example, when moved to a different playgroup room, she needed about half a day before she felt comfortable enough to move around freely. Even with her sensitivity, she communicates beautifully with other dogs and has done well socially — she lets them know when she needs space and respects their signals too. She has begun cautiously approaching her caregiver for interaction instead of avoiding contact, a huge step forward in her confidence. Learning & Progress Tana is truly starting at the beginning, and she’s making steady, meaningful progress. She is excellent in her crate and is now eating well. She is still learning how to walk on a leash. She didn’t know how to potty on leash at first. In her first training class, she wasn’t ready to learn commands, so the focus was on treats, toys, and keeping everything positive. During her bath, blow‑dry, and nail trim, she was scared but tolerant, remaining still throughout. She vomited during her first car ride, so her comfort with travel is still being assessed. Once she feels safe, her playful side emerges — chasing the water hose is currently her favorite activity. Ideal Home Tana will thrive in a home that understands decompression and gentle guidance. She needs: A calm, patient adopter A quiet household, ideally with another dog A predictable routine Positive reinforcement training Space and time to adjust at her own pace With consistency and compassion, Tana will continue to blossom. She is a tender, sensitive soul who is learning how to trust, and once she feels comfortable, she becomes active, playful, and deeply endearing.   Tana is currently being fostered in Plymouth, IN.
