Story
  Meet Artsy Marcy – A Survivor with a Brilliant Mind and an Even Bigger Heart     Artsy Marcy is a beautiful Border Collie mix, around 2 years old and weighing 55–60 pounds. Her life began with unimaginable hardship, yet she has never let her past define her. It is believed that Marcy and her siblings were abandoned in a remote rural area of Tennessee. While trying to survive on their own, tragedy struck when they were hit by a train. Her sister did not survive, and Marcy was left with a severely dislocated hip. Thanks to a compassionate foster who refused to give up on her, Marcy received the surgery and care she desperately needed. Today she has only a slight limp—a small reminder of just how far she has come.     Marcy is everything you would expect from a Border Collie mix: incredibly intelligent, observant, athletic, and eager to be part of whatever her people are doing. She loves hiking, exploring, and would thrive in an active home where she can exercise both her body and her mind. She has a natural herding instinct and enjoys having a job or purpose.   She is wonderful with people and genuinely enjoys human companionship. While she may be a little shy during first introductions, she warms up quickly and forms strong, loyal bonds. Once she trusts you, she is affectionate, devoted, and eager to please.     Marcy has lived around cats, but she does have a prey drive, so any home with cats should be experienced and committed to proper introductions and management. She also does well with some dogs but can be selective about her canine companions. Like many intelligent, confident working breeds, she appreciates respectful introductions and clear leadership. She would do best with an adopter who understands Border Collie personalities and will provide consistent structure, training, and outlets for her energy.     Marcy isn't looking to be just another dog lying quietly in the corner. She is looking for someone who will appreciate her intelligence, celebrate her spirit, and give her the freedom to be the amazing Border Collie mix she was born to be.   Against all odds, this remarkable girl survived when she easily could have been another forgotten statistic. Now she deserves the happy ending she has fought so hard for.   If you'd like to learn more about Artsy Marcy or speak with the foster mom who saved her life, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.     Could you be the person who gives this extraordinary survivor the forever home she's been waiting for?       PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comAugust 1, 2026, 1:56 pm

Story
Meet Finn!Finn is an adorable Border Collie puppy with a brilliant brain, a playful spirit, and enough energy to keep life interesting! He loves playing fetch, going for walks, and being involved in whatever his people are doing.This clever boy completed a six-week basic training course and was a straight-A student! Like any young puppy, Finn is still learning to use those skills when everyday life gets exciting. He is housebroken, crate-trained, and has reportedly done wonderfully with children.Finn is everything you would expect from a young Border Collie: active, curious, and intelligent. He would thrive with an active family committed to continuing his positive-reinforcement training while providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and supervision.Finn can be friendly with other dogs, but a thoughtful introduction will help ensure a good match. Because he enjoys chasing cats, a cat-free home would likely be best.If you understand that a busy Border Collie brain is always looking for its next assignment, Finn may be the sweet, clever adventure buddy you’ve been waiting for!Currently 35 lbs

Story
Lily is a 3-year-old Border Collie/Springer Spaniel mix with the best qualities of both breeds. She's incredibly smart, eager to learn, and has lots of energy, making her a wonderful companion for an active family.Lily is crate trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and knows basic commands. She enjoys walks, hikes, playtime, and thrives when she has both physical exercise and mental stimulation.Because of her strong herding instincts, Lily is happiest in a home with older children (junior high to high school age) or adults. Like many herding breeds, she can become overstimulated by the fast, unpredictable movements of young children and may instinctively try to herd them. For that reason, she is not the best match for a home with small children.Lily is a loyal, affectionate companion who will thrive with an active family that can provide her with structure, exercise, and plenty of opportunities to use her intelligent mind.

APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ We must have an application to move forward. (Shayne's Rescue is an affiliate with PetCentralSATX). If there are problems with the website, please email me for help. Whitney a possibly a Border Collie mixed with Red Heeler. DOB 2/1/26; currently about 30# and will probably get to be 45-50#s, best guess. She is the most adorable puppy EVER! She is enthusiastic & confident; curious & playful; and very smart. She has almost mastered walking on a leash and she is good in her crate. She loves car rides. She is mostly quiet in the kennel, except when she needs to do her business! She loves people and dogs of All sizes and ages. Because she is young, we don’t recommend very young children be around her. In her puppy playfulness, she would probably knock the little ones down. Curious, interested in cats but not aggressive. Loves treats so she will be easy to train. She plays with the rope toy or stick with you, but she does not return it yet. She definitely acts goofy when she plays but also loves to snuggle in your lap. This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. You will receive the dog's folder with all the printouts proving the medical treatments received. Adoption Fee: Includes all of the vetting and transportation. If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060. You can also go to our Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/Pet-Central-SATX-866684826744181/ and LIKE us to help us out.
