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 stephodellbc@hotmail.com for more information about this pet. Meet Crimson Crimson is a 4-year-old Mini Aussie × Border Collie mix who’s as beautiful as she is complex. She can be very suspicious of unfamiliar people and will need a calm, patient, and dog-savvy adopter who understands how to build trust slowly and gently. Crimson still shows some behaviors that reflect her uncertain past and can act a bit like a feral dog at times—she’s cautious, easily startled, and unsure how to respond to new people or environments. But once she decides you’re one of “her people,” her loyalty and affection shine through. She absolutely adores those she trusts. She is a flight risk and will require a securely fenced yard. Crimson is crate-trained and house-trained, and she gets along wonderfully with other dogs and even cats. She will thrive in a secure environment with a fenced yard and a patient human who understands her need for a little extra time to adjust. Crimson is searching for a special person who will give her the patience, stability, and love she needs to feel secure. Once she knows she can trust you, she’ll show you just how affectionate and devoted she can be. Open your heart to this gorgeous girl, and you’ll gain a loyal companion who will fill your home with quiet joy and unwavering love. Fostered in Plymouth, IN Please contact stephodellbc@hotmail.com if you have any questions about Crimson.      *** The potential adopter will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if 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
We’re not sure about Veronica’s backstory, but we know that she’s likely been through a lot. It seems as if someone wasn’t always very nice to her because she shuts down in some situations. But she does want to be right with her person, following closely on their heels. We think Veronica is about 6 years old. She is a gorgeous Australian shepherd with a gentle personality. While she is recovering from heartworm treatment, she still has energy and wants to play.  Veronica is deaf and has limited vision. She’s very smart and has learned several touch commands including “good girl” and “come.” She is learning to walk nicely on a leash and is housebroken. She sleeps nicely in her pen overnight. Veronica would do best in a home with a friendly dog to help give her confidence. She does not like being left alone for very long, so she’d love someone who is home most of the day. She’d love an active person because she loves to explore and go on adventures. She’d prefer a physical, fenced yard to keep her safe. This sweet, beautiful Aussie is being fostered in the St. Louis area.  ##2378212##

Story
Audrey’s story began in an overburdened rural shelter when she and her brother Kane arrived at just sixweeksold — orphaned, emaciated, and so cold they were barely hanging on after their mother was found nearby, struck by a car. Out of a litter of seven, Audrey and Kane were the only survivors. From the very start, she proved she was a fighter with a heart full of resilience. Now ninemonthsold, Audrey has blossomed into a confident, joyful girl who loves life with every ounce of her being. She’s an Australianshepherd and husky mix — smart, playful, and affectionate, with a spirit that shines wherever she goes. Audrey loves other dogs, especially big dogs and thrives in their company. She’s happiest when she’s playing, running, or splashing in the water, and she never turns down a good adventure. Audrey is brave, curious, and full of personality. She’s the kind of dog who wins hearts everywhere she goes and loves being close to her people. She and Kane will not be adopted together, and Audrey is ready for a home of her own — one where she can continue to grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. Audrey is being fostered in the St.Louisarea. To apply: https://www.speakrescue.com/pre-adoption-form ##2689461##

Story
Nancy is a young Australian cattle dog who would just love to sit on your lap and be cuddled all day. She’s smart and full of personality with spurts of play time then lots of chill time.  Nancy is about 3 or 4 years old. She is completely house trained and is excellent in her crate. She’s good on a leash and knows several commands including “sit” and “kennel.” She is particularly motivated if treats are involved! Nancy loves other dogs but can get pretty rowdy when she plays. She would be great with a dog buddy as long as the dog is accepting, playful, and not easily offended by silly antics. One of Nancy’s favorite things is to talk to all her favorite toys. Nancy needs a home with a fenced-in yard and would prefer someone who has herding dog experience. Nancy has trouble navigating stairs and needs a home with no steps. No kids under 10 please. Nancy is being fostered in the St. Louis area. Please fill out an application: https://www.speakrescue.com/pre-adoption-form ##1270950##
