Story
🐾 Meet Rigatoni — Your Future Adventure Buddy! 🐾 Age: 9 months Breed: 22-breed mix (Small Border Collie look-alike!) DNA Results Available Weight: 36 lbs Training: Mostly house-trained, goes to the door when he needs out. Crate trained when alone at the house. Health: During his initial vet check, a heart murmur was detected. A follow-up appointment with a veterinary cardiologist confirmed that Rigatoni has mild Mitral Valvular Dysplasia. The cardiologist was not concerned, advised that no activity restrictions are needed, and noted that some dogs grow out of this as they mature. Rigatoni is otherwise healthy, up to date on vaccines, and neutered. 💙 Personality Rigatoni may be shy at first, but give him a little time and he’ll show you his true colors: a super snuggly, affectionate, and downright adorable pup. Once he trusts you, he becomes your shadow and your cuddle companion. 🐕 Behavior & Social Skills • Good with dogs — playful and social. Rigatoni would do well in a home with another dog. When he first came home from the rescue, he was very shy and timid, but the moment he met the resident dog, he completely came out of his shell. Having a confident canine friend truly helps him feel safe and brings out his happy, playful side. He would be ok in a house without another dog as well. • Cats: No known exposure • Kids: Has done well with young children (under the age of 5) during limited interactions • People: Needs gentle introductions; warms up with time and patience ⚡ Energy & Enrichment Needs Rigatoni is a high-energy, bright youngster who thrives with both physical exercise and mental stimulation. He’d love: • Active walks or runs/Play sessions/Puzzle toys or training games/A yard to explore (bonus!) 🏡 Ideal Home Rigatoni will thrive in a home with someone who is patient, understanding, and around often enough to help him build confidence and meet his high exercise needs. An active household that can give him regular physical activity and mental enrichment is ideal. He would do well with people who can provide gentle guidance, avoid overwhelming him, and help him continue growing out of his fear-based reactions. A calm, structured environment—with plenty of love, treats, and reassurance—will help Rigatoni become the confident, happy dog he’s meant to be. ❤️ Why You’ll Love Him Rigatoni is the perfect mix of goofy and sweet. Once he feels safe, he becomes a loyal snugglebug who wants nothing more than to be close to his people. He’s smart, eager to learn, and full of youthful enthusiasm. And one of his most charming quirks? He sits in the most curious, hilarious positions—guaranteed to make you smile every single day. With patience, encouragement, and love, Rigatoni will reward you with endless affection and unforgettable moments. Rigatoni is still with his owner and this will be an owner to owner transfer. Please apply to adopt and we will put you in touch with his owner.

Story
Meet Shawna! This girl is pure sunshine wrapped in fur — just look at that smile! Her sweet, expressive eyes and happy-go-lucky grin could melt even the coldest heart. Shawna’s the kind of dog who makes every day brighter just by being in it. She’s a 1-year-old Border Collie/Heeler mix who’s super affectionate, snuggly, and will flash that irresistible grin the moment you rub her belly. Shawna is playful and full of fun, puppy energy. She does great on leash and in the car, making her the perfect little adventure buddy. She’s friendly and loves kids and other dogs, though she’ll need a feline-free home as her instincts may lead her to chase them. Smart as can be, Shawna is already housebroken and eager to please. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find her forever family — one that loves smiles, snuggles, and spontaneous tail wags as much as she does!

Story
Meet Sheesh, a one-year-old pup whose unique personality perplexed her foster mom until she received the breed results — border collie and Labrador retriever!  Sheesh’s hobbies are all lab. She loves playing fetch and brings the ball back consistently.  Sheesh also loves water and will go towards any source of water, whether it’s coming from a sprinkler in the neighborhood or running in a creek. She loves being outside in the rain and isn’t afraid of getting all wet. She’s so calm and easy during baths that her foster mom still bathes her in the kitchen sink even though she’s much too big for it now at 45 lbs full grown.  The border collie in Sheesh is also very apparent in how intelligent and obedient she is. Sheesh follows instructions without the need for a treat. She’ll come when you call her name and go to her crate when told to. She’s very smart and learns new skills quickly. She also has some herding tendencies and can get very focused on things like a squirrel in the yard. She’s of course energetic, but does take plenty of naps throughout the day.  Sheesh will do best in an active home with owners who want to take her on long morning walks. Sheesh loves her walks, but she can get a little too excited by other excitable dogs she encounters. She will need someone willing to work with her on this, possibly with a trainer’s help. Sheesh is very redirectable and responsive if the person walking her knows what to do.  Sheesh has been in her foster home since July 2024 and is fully potty trained, crate trained and has zero separation anxiety. She’s super friendly, happy and loving, and is friends with all the dogs in her foster home. There’s not a mean bone in her body. She even shows remarkable patience with small puppies, letting them climb all over her and chew on her beautiful, fluffy tail. Although she’s not perfect, Sheesh is a special young dog who will bring great joy to her forever family.”
