Story
Tigger **Not Available to Be Seen Until Open House on Wednesday 10/7** Good with Kids & Dogs! 2 yrs./36 lb./Female/Border Collie Mix Name: Tigger Age: 2 years Weight: 36 lbs Breed: Border Collie Mix Status: Bouncy, bright-eyed girl looking for her Pawfect match! ​ About Me: Hi, I’m Tigger! I’m a 2-year-old Border Collie mix with an adorable smile, fabulous ears, and a whole lot of personality packed into my 36-pound frame. I’m at such a great age—young enough to be ready for plenty of fun and adventures, but past the tiny puppy stage. As a Border Collie mix, I’m looking for a family who will keep both my body and my brain busy. Whether we’re heading out for a walk, learning something new, playing together, or settling in for some quality time, I’m ready to have a person of my own to do it all with. ​ Best Qualities: Adventure-ready: I’m a young, active girl who would love a family that wants to get out and enjoy life together. Smart cookie: With some Border Collie in the mix, continued training and enrichment are right up my alley. Give me something to learn and let’s have some fun with it! Perfectly portable: At 36 pounds, I’m a great medium size—not too big, not too small, and just right for tagging along on your adventures. That happy face: I mean...look at me. I’ve got a smile that makes it pretty hard not to smile back. ​ Ideal Match: My Pawfect match is an active family who wants a dog to truly be part of their life. I’d love people who will give me plenty of opportunities to play, explore, learn, and use that busy Border Collie brain. Keep life interesting, give me love and consistency, and I’ll be ready to bounce right into our next adventure together. ​​ Deal Breakers: • Looking for a couch potato who considers walking to the food bowl her daily exercise. • No time for continued training or enrichment—I’m a smart young girl and I want to use that brain! • Not interested in making your dog part of the action. I’m looking for a life I get to participate in. ​ Fun Fact: Unlike my namesake, the wonderful thing about this Tigger is that I’m definitely not the only one—but I’m hoping I’ll be the one for you.

Story
Palmer is a handsome 2½-year-old Border Collie. Palmer is potty trained, knows sit and wait commands and is very smart! He is happiest people, toys with a job to do. He has been in foster care for several months patiently waiting for his forever home while he heals from a significant abrasion to his foot, but true to his breed and his resilient spirit, Palmer is ready for a lifetime companion. He loves leash walks, but sometimes his exuberance can be a bit overwhelming but we are sure that with consistency and regular walks, he will learn to be a perfect walking companion. He’s an intelligent dog who thrives with loving, consistent discipline and clear guidance. Palmer may do best in an adult, or older children only household that understands the needs of a driven, intelligent dog and is excited to include him as part of their daily routine. With the right structure, exercise, and affection, Palmer will be a loyal companion, adventure buddy, and devoted best friend.
