Story
With a heavy heart We are looking for a new home for our belove Archie. He's 2 years old boarder collie mix. This has been a difficult decision for our family, but due to ongoing behavioral challenges, we believe he would thrive better in a different environment. Some of these behaviors are resource guarding causing reactivity only towards our 2 other dogs at home. Its not a everyday issues but it has increased. Because of these challenges he would do best in a home with no other dogs. We never had issues with people or children and he really loves playing with other dogs outside of his home, even with his two brothers but his resource guarding in home is affecting those relationships. He has a best friend which is our neighbors dog whom he loves dearly. They play everyday! He is a great dog but needs a different environment for him to thrive. This really saddens us especially my husband. We want to make sure he goes to a loving caring home with the opportunity to live a great life.

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.

Story
Introducing Echo!! Don`t let her age fool you--this old gal still has a lot to offer! Echo loves going for walks and even loves to swim! She is the bst of both worlds--she loves hanging out on the couch but also won`t say no to a little adventure! Echo would benefit from some continued positive reinforcement training in her next home to perfect her manners. She gets easily overwhelmed by other dogs so she is looking to live as the only dog in the home, but may be able to have some very laid back and polite canine friends out of the home. She lived with cats previously, and both cuddled and chased them, so a dog-savvy cat would be best. She could also live with sturdy kids who don`t mind a rowdy dog. If you`d like to learn more about whether Echo is a good fit for you, come into the shelter to start the matchmaking process!

Story
Frankie is a sweet puppy boy who is a foster favorite. He's everything you want in a dog: goofy, loving, playful, sweet, and cuddly! We think he's a border collie/bully breed mix, but whatever his mix is, it makes him perfect! A smart little guy, Frankie keeps his crate clean and does really well in the house. He loves chasing balls and wrestling with other dogs. This sweet puppy's greatest trait is that he loves his people. While his littermates take off when they come out of the crate, he immediately stays behind to give kisses and be petted. There's a heart dog in every litter, and Frankie is that dog. Frankie was born in December 2025 and found on a dirt road in January. He's fully vetted and ready to be your best snuggle buddy.

Story
Meet Todd Todd is a 5-month-old Border Collie mix with the sweetest personality and a fun, playful spirit. Hes expected to stay on the smaller side, around 40 lbs full grown, making him a great medium-sized companion. This smart boy is quick to learn and loves to make his people smile with his goofy, funny personality. He can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once he warms up, hes incredibly affectionate and loyal. Todd is doing wonderfully with house training and crate training, and hes already showing how eager he is to learn. He does great with kids and other dogs, but will need a feline-free home as he may chase cats. Todd is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find his forever home
