Story
Name: Rebel Age: 11 months Breed: Border Collie mix Size: 45 lbs Adoption Application: https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 Contact: transport@hssm.org Rebel is an 11-month-old Border Collie mix with energy to spare and a personality that’s as big as his zoomies. Rebel was an owner surrender due to his owner being older and not being able to handle him being such an active dog. True to his name, he’s always ready for action—whether that’s chasing a ball, learning a new trick, or turning the yard into his personal playground. Smart and alert, Rebel thrives when his mind and body stay busy. Rebel will do very well with people who understand his breed and can give him ways to exert all of his expendable energy. He is the type of dog that would do well with a job. This bright young pup would love a home that enjoys an active lifestyle and can keep up with his enthusiasm for adventure. Border Collie mixes are known for their intelligence, and Rebel is no exception—he’s eager to learn and ready to impress with the right guidance and positive training. Rebel is still growing into the amazing dog he’s meant to be and would shine with a family ready to channel his energy into fun, learning, and plenty of playtime. Reble already knows basic commands and would definitely be able to learn more advanced commands. If you’re looking for a lively sidekick who will keep life exciting, Rebel is ready to lead the charge. 🐾 Rebel's $300 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccines, microchip AND transport fee to a location near you. We currently have transportation to CT, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, GA, and TN. Please email transport@hssm.org for more information on transports! --> If you are interested in adopting Rebel please fill out our online application here: (https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 - Dog). A staff member will reach out if your application is approved to discuss the adoption process. No fenced in yard required, and YES - we adopt to families with children!

Adopters will meet at a designated meeting spot to pick up their new companions.

Story
Tilly is mesmerizing with her icy blue eyes. This beautiful girl is 2 years old and 50 pounds. She is very smart. She would be great learning one of the many dog sports. She will make someone a great companion and she consistently "checks in" with her foster mom to see if anything is expected of her.  Tilly would thrive with an adopter who is "hands on". She is 1/3 border collie but also has small amounts of siberian husky/saint bernard/boxer/labrador retriever per her DNA results. A quiet home without small children would be ideal for her. Tilly is dog selective and it is unknown how she is with cats. She is crate and potty trained. Tilly is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines and flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is only $300.00. Please apply at gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##1880121##

Story
Penelope here! I am a pretty lady! I wish I could talk to tell you more about my past. However, it will stay unknown. I was found as stray. They believe I am around 6 years old. I was most definitely in a home before I wandered off. I am a little chunk but I am working on my diet!! I would be best in a home that doesn't have small animals. I love to chase small critters. I have been in a foster home before! I am okay with other dogs and kids! If you think I am a good fit please put an application!

Story
Meet Marilyn 💕 Marilyn is a young, Border Collie mix with a beautiful black and white coat and an even more beautiful heart. After the passing of her beloved owner, Marilyn found herself in need of a fresh start. She’s currently being fostered and is ready to find a forever home filled with love and patience. Marilyn can be a little shy at first, but give her some time and you’ll discover just how incredibly sweet and affectionate she truly is. Once she warms up, she’s all heart — gentle, loving, and eager to bond with her people. She gets along well with other dogs and cats, and she handled her vet visit with patience and affection. Because she can be timid initially, she would do best with a calm, understanding adopter who will let her adjust at her own pace. Kids are unknown at this time. She may need continued support with house training. Marilyn was born in November 2024, is spayed, and ready to start her next chapter. If you have a soft spot for shy, sensitive souls who blossom with love, Marilyn might just be your perfect match. Could you be the one to give Marilyn the safe, loving home she deserves? 🐾

Story
We are looking for a new home for Murphy because his owner Mike has died.Murphy is 3year old neutered male dog, is very smart and when left alone for over 10 hours he does get into things.(garbage,cabinets…etc) I’m Mike’s sister Murphy’s current caregiver and a nurse that works 12 hour days and feel Murphy would be happier and safer if we could find a home that someone was around more. Someone who works less than10hours away from home or a big family that has someone around alot. Someone retired who wants a couch companion. Murphy is a little shy at first but when he gets to know you he is a Velcro dog and loves to sit with you on the couch or lay across you feet. He does great walking on a leash but is use to a fenced in yard. He is housebroken but not crate trained. He is a fast learner so I believe he could be trained to a crate easily. He knows sit,stay,shakes hands,down. He does get excited when someone comes home but is learning not to jump on people. He is very treat motivated.
