Border Collie puppies and dogs in Danville, Kentucky

I’m Akora, a petite border collie mix with a big brain, a bigger heart, and an even bigger love of snacks. I need an adult home, as I can be very easily overwhelmed by fast movements and kids being kids. I'm the king of girl who’s always ready for an adventure—whether that’s mastering a new trick, exploring a trail, or turning mealtime into a full‑body celebration. I learn fast, I play hard, and I bond deeply, especially with people who appreciate a smart, active companion who thrives on both mental and physical fun. If you’re looking for a bright little shadow who will keep you laughing, keep you moving, and keep you company, I’m ready to be your new favorite sidekick. Give my friends at the Adoption Center a call at 859-873-5491 to find out more about me or to schedule an appointment to meet me!

We got Jasper when he was a puppy at 10 weeks old. Our daughter was 12 years old then. Now she is graduating college and getting married. My husband and I are empty nesters and we don’t have the time or energy required to give Jasper the best home. He is high energy and loves to go for walks and play ball. He would be great for someone who has a farm or lots of room to roam. He will be 10 years old on May 28th. He does get scared during thunder storms or fireworks. He needs more attention than what we are able to give. We will be traveling quite a bit in the months to come and we want him to have a better home.He is currently 61 pounds and we have his vet records available.

Benny is a boarder collie mix. He will be 5 years old in October. He is medium sized. He would do best in a home where he could be an only dog but he is good with other dogs! He just loves having all the attention. He does not do good with cats. Benny is sweet, and loyal. His favorite thing is to cuddle. He’s always been an inside dog and would need to stay an inside dog, but he does love to lay in the sun. He’s house and crate trained and would come with his crate. He does great on a leash and in the car and will love to go on any adventures or just spend the day being lazy at home. He’s always up for anything! We would like for him to go to a home where we can keep and touch and have updates on how he’s doing.
