Story
Jace is a 6 yr old Border Collie-Heeler mix who is a sweet, snuggly, happy, energetic, incredibly intelligent and sensitive guy. He does well with most dogs but has some toy and food guarding. He is fully house trained, uses a doggy door to go outside and has free run of the house. He has anxiety in a kennel and loud noises scare him, he hides. Loves car rides, will play ball, stick or frisbee all day. Excellent recall off leash. He loves activity but also a warm bed to sleep in. Jace is healthy and would be a great hiking, biking, agitity, sports partner. Best in a home with older children as young children's movement can be unpredictable. If you are looking for a best buddy to share lots of adventure and snuggles with, Jace is your guy. Jace likes people and is super friendly. Must be an inside dog that has access to outdoors.

Freya is a very energetic and loving puppy. She needs a home with lots a room to run and be wild. Freya is kennel trained and we have made progress with going outside. Freya does have a lot of anxiety and will need someone that is great with dogs that’s have that. She loves to cuddle. She’s a very skeptical puppy but with the right home and caregiver she will be a perfect family dog.

Story
Moxie is a 2-year-old Border Collie mix.  As with any Border Collie or mix, she does need a lot of exercise for her mind and body.  She does have some anxiety and would definitely benefit from continued training for confidence and exercise.  She would be a great agility dog!  She does require a physical fence. She would do best in a home with no other pets as she is not really especially fond of other dogs and she can be protective of her food. Kids 10 and over would be preferred so they are old enough to understand her limits.

Story
Introducing Zeke, a truly remarkable pup whose heartwarming spirit and playful energy are ready to light up a new home. Zeke is a handsome, resilient boy who, through no fault of his own, found himself searching for a new home. He's more than ready to embark on his next chapter, seeking a loving, forever family to call his own. Zeke is a bundle of joyful energy, known for his silliness and ability to bring a smile to anyone's face. While he may start off shy, it doesn't take long for his true personality to shine through. He quickly becomes an enthusiastic playmate who thrives on the company of other dogs and will gleefully encourage them to play. Zeke is a smart and well-mannered companion. He is potty-trained and comfortable in his crate. He also knows basic commands like "sit" and "go to your room," and his eagerness to please makes him a joy to train further. While he’s working on managing his excitement (which sometimes results in enthusiastic leaps!), his good intentions are always clear. Walks are a highlight of his day, offering him a chance to explore and burn off some of that youthful energy. His barks will let you know precisely when he needs to go outside or when he hears you approaching the door. If you’re seeking an active, affectionate, and charming dog who promises boundless love and entertainment, Zeke could be the perfect addition to your home. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
