Story
Meet Max, a 36 pound 10 month old mixed breed-maybe some border collie, active but not quite to border collie energy level. He is amazing...friendly and sweet, great with dogs, not so much cats. Good with kids. Housebroken and even doing well with crate training. Meet him soon, someone is going to snatch him up quickly. Neutered, microchipped and ready to move in. Because our dogs are in foster homes, applications are required prior to setting up any appointments. Calling or emailing may delay your consideration. Find our application on our website, almosthomedogs.org. Adoption Fee is $450. All of our dogs will be microchipped. We are a non profit no kill 501 (c)3 rescue. Please understand that we do our best to describe our dogs but often we rescue them with virtually no information about them and often our best educated guess can be challenging. Currently check or cash is preferred payment.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fred is very smart, loving and loyal 4-year-old tricolor border collie mix who unfortunately needs a new home.  He was originally adopted by someone from a shelter in DC.  They were not experienced with the breed and gave him to another family who love him dearly but do not have the time or resources to provide him the attention, exercise and training that he needs and deserves.  After all this change, he is still a very loving dog.  He takes treats gently, he is good on a leash, settles well after outings, and will chill in the house with his person(s). Fred enjoys other dogs; he is playful with all types and sizes. He does well at daycare and at the dog park. His current family loves him very much but are hoping to find an experienced, patient, consistent and loving family or person who understand and have experience with the highly intelligent and active border collie breed.   He is a sensitive dog and needs time to adjust and trust. A quiet/peaceful yet active home environment would be great. He loves sniffy walks and post-walk zoomies, followed by chilling out near his person(s). He is very sweet once comfortable but suffers from separation anxiety and has some fear anxiety with new people, but once he know his person he is very gentle. One of his previous owners worked with a trainer with good success on the separation anxiety and occasional aggression when his boundaries were not honored by a new person, which shows that Fred is willing and able to learn what he needs to in order to be a great canine citizen.  He already knows SIT, LEAVE IT and LETS GO. A family or person who have the time and environment to work with Fred and give him a happy and fulfilling life will be rewarded with a devoted and loving special companion. A trainer reference is available. PLEASE NOTE : THE DOG LISTED IS SHOWN AS A COURTESY TO ANOTHER ORGANIZATION OR FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO NEEDS TO FIND A NEW HOME FOR THEIR DOG. ASR    HAS NOT EVALUATED THIS DOG AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING EITHER THE TEMPERAMENT OR THE HEALTH OF THE DOG.  YOU ARE ADVISED TO CONTACT THE INDIVIDUAL OR ORGANIZATION LISTED  TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS DOG AND TO DETERMINE IF THE DOG MIGHT BE RIGHT FOR YOUR SITUATION.  ALL INQUIRIES REGARDING THIS DOG MUST    BE DIRECTED TO THE CONTACT LISTED BELOW  hannonlara@gmail.com   ALL SHEPHERD RESCUE HAS NO INVOLVEMENT  IN ANY ADOPTION THAT MAY RESULT.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 10, 2025, 8:09 pm

Story
I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request to help me find the right placement for a very special dog named Fred. I adopted Fred six weeks ago, and although we have formed a deep bond, it’s become clear that he needs a level of behavioral support and consistency that I cannot provide in my current living situation. Fred is a tricolor Border Collie mix, approximately 3–4 years old and around 50 pounds. He is sweet, sensitive, intelligent, and deeply affectionate once he feels safe. He plays wonderfully with other dogs and settles beautifully in a calm home environment. He is good on a leash and settles well at home. Fred does have some fear-based reactivity toward unfamiliar people and separation anxiety. However, it’s important to emphasize that Fred has shown meaningful improvements in these areas with the right training and handling. His former owner did foundational work with him, and since coming to me, he has continued to progress. He is truly a love and wants to please.

Meet Mistletoe – The Three-Legged Wonder! Mistletoe is a one-year-old Border Collie mix with a heart as big as her spirit! This happy, playful girl doesn’t let having three legs slow her down—she loves to run, play, and horse around just like any other pup. With a low to medium energy level, she’d make a fantastic walking or jogging partner and is always up for a game of fetch. She’s treat-motivated, knows “sit,” walks beautifully on a leash, and takes treats like a lady. Mistletoe adores affection and attention, soaking up every pet and belly rub she can get. She’s a little bouncy when excited, but nothing over the top—just enough to show how happy she is! Mistletoe gets along well with bigger dogs and would thrive in a home with older kiddos who can keep up with her fun-loving nature. She loves being near her human. If you’re looking for a pup who will bring endless love, laughter, and adventure to your life, Mistletoe is ready to be your perfect match! ***CURRENTLY IN WASHINGTON STATE*** BUT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AND TRANSPORT OUT OF STATE.
