Story
Name: Aries Oliver Breed: Border Collie / Feist Mix Gender: Male DOB: 8/11/25 Aries Oliver is a young Border Collie/Feist mix with a bright mind, a playful spirit, and a heart ready to bond. Born on 8/11/25, he’s still very much a puppy — curious about the world and eager to grow into the best companion he can be. Currently around 40/50lbs and we don’t think he will get much bigger! With his breed mix, Aries brings together intelligence and affection. He enjoys staying busy, learning new things, and engaging with his people. Training sessions, interactive toys, and outdoor adventures are great ways to engage with him and keep him entertained. He is at a wonderful age to continue building confidence and developing strong household manners. Aries would thrive in a home that can provide regular exercise and mental stimulation. A securely fenced yard is a bonus, but an active family committed to daily walks, playtime, and enrichment is a must. With guidance and consistency, he has all the potential to become a loyal, well-rounded adult dog. He is looking for a family that understands the needs of an intelligent working-breed mix and is excited to invest time in helping him succeed. In return, Aries Oliver will offer companionship, enthusiasm, and a lifetime of devotion.

Apollo would do best in an active home that can match his energy and keep his sharp mind stimulated.

Story
Lincoln is a handsome young Border Collie Mix, with an estimated date of birth of December 23 2022. He weighs about 45 lbs. He absolutely loves people and is very affectionate. However he is not fond of other dogs. Lincoln enjoys spending time in his foster family’s yard and would love a forever home with a large, secure fenced (above ground) yard. He loves spending time with human friends and needs a family or, a single pet parent, who will spend plenty of time with him. Because he’s not good with other dogs, dog parks are not on his list of favorite places! However, he is an active boy and would love to go for hikes and runs with his people….when he’s not playing in his own yard! Border Collie experience is a big plus for this smart boy. Due to his energy/playfulness, he is not an apartment or condo dweller. Rather, he’d love his own spaces where he could run and play, and an active family, or pet parent!! Lincoln is up to date on all vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is on heartworm preventative. He is neutered and microchipped as well. For information about adding this adorable boy to your family please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. BAARK is located in the far NW suburbs of Chicago and adopts local to this area.

Story
Meet Cheyenne! Cheyenne is a sweet, beautiful Border Collie mix who is 2 years old and ready to find the family she can finally call her own. This girl has so many wonderful qualities already, she is crate trained, potty trained, good with other dogs, and good with kids! She loves to PLAY, chase toys, get attention from her people, and spend time outside. Having another dog around would be a wonderful bonus for Cheyenne, especially since she enjoys the companionship of her canine friends. Cheyenne is happiest when she can enjoy the great outdoors, get some playtime in, and then come inside and cuddle with her people. A home where she can spend plenty of time outside and has another friendly dog to hang out with sounds like a pretty perfect fit for this sweet girl.  Cheyenne can be a little unsure of men and isn't a fan of loud or sudden noises. She'll need a family who understands that she may need a little patience and time to feel completely comfortable. She doesn't need to be rushed—she just needs someone willing to let her build trust at her own pace. Once Cheyenne feels safe and knows she can trust you, you'll see what a loving and affectionate girl she truly is. Cheyenne has so much love to give and is just waiting for someone to give her the patience, understanding, and safe place she deserves. If you're looking for a sweet, playful girl who loves the outdoors, other dogs, and a good cuddle, Cheyenne may just be your girl!   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2825467##

Story
Blue was left with me by my daughter. She moved to an apartment in another state. Unable to take her with. My 2 Dobermans do not get along with other dogs at all! Blue is smart, obedient and very high energy! She needs a ranch or farm to run and herd other animals! She is sweet and cuddly. Very very loving dog but also the most protective dog! The only thing you can't do is cut her nails. She will run till they get trimmed. She is the best watch dog. Likes Purina one dog food. Lovely dog!!! Needs a good family that knows how to handle a cattle dog. She gets along well with other pets including dogs,cats and rabbits. Blue loves attention and is well suited to a family environment. She needs room to run tho! Is really a good herding dog!!!
