A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.(Sending an "Inquiry" via Petfinder does not constitute an application.) Copper is a 5 year old, high energy 48 pound purebred border collie who recently lost the loving home he had since puppyhood. This gorgeous blue merle boy came into rescue and hasn’t looked back. His sweet sister, Charlie, is in a separate Mo-Kan foster home. Copper loves people of all ages, especially children. He is not good with cats. Copper was used to being an outdoor dog and is learning that there are different rules indoors. He is very puppylike: perpetually happy, curious, and runs everywhere instead of walking. Copper responds best to gentle touch and calmly delivered commands. He is a blank slate, and eager to please! He is crate trained and runs in preemptively to get a treat, which he takes treats very gently. “Copper, come!” appears to be his favorite command. He thinks he is a lap dog and is learning to sit for affection instead of jumping up for it. Copper walks moderately well on a leash and is learning to stay to one side of his person. He enjoys outings to our local dog park for the people who pet him as much as the dogs he runs with. He is very skilled at reading and reacting appropriately to new dog friends and takes their feedback well. Copper would do best in a home with a consistent routine. Having been an outdoor dog after his first year of life, he is re-learning potty training. He is crated during the workday with a mid-day dogsitter break while his foster is at work and keeps his kennel clean. He loves being outside, running in a yard and wrestling with his 55 pound housemate, so a fenced yard and a dog companion are preferred. Copper is not good with cats and is hyper focused on chickens. A home without cats or caged small pets is a must. If he sounds like a great addition to your family, complete an adoption application on the Mo-Kan website.

Ranger is currently growing like a weed and is suspected to have some Pyrenees / Livestock Guardian Dog in him. Ranger gets along great with cats, doesn’t inappropriately jump or snap, and gives them lots of space when needed. He does love to engage them in play, and loves it when his foster mom’s cat chases him around the kitchen! He gets along well with other dogs but is not good with boundaries, especially with adult dogs as they get tired of him jumping on their backs. However, when playing with other high energy puppies, there are no issues. He would do well in an active home, and is showing some promise with the frisbee. He’s got great drive and a natural fetch. Ranger gets the zoomies frequently throughout the day and would do well with a large yard or nearby park to run around in. Once fully drained of energy, he does turn into a cuddle bug. But only once the battery has died… lol. He is fully crate trained and does well on car rides. Be warned, if he starts to bark, it’s because he needs to go potty. Do not ignore the bark!

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Courtesy PostCourtesy Post. See contact info at the end of bio. Pepper is a 2.5-year-old Border Collie with a sweet, goofy demeanor. She was abandoned after not making the cut as a working dog on a cattle farm (apparently, she preferred playing with the herd). She was found very underweight with several short-term health conditions, suggesting a significant amount of time away from care. She now has a clean bill of health. Pepper is big for a female Border Collie, with sturdy arms, big paws, and a hard head. She’s an inch taller and two inches longer than her foster brothers, who are both 50-pound male Border Collies. When she was found, she was a 3 on the body condition chart at 54 pounds. She’s now very healthy at 65 pounds. Through the process of trying to find her owner, her breeder was found and claims Pepper is an ABCA Border Collie with an Irish working dog pedigree. Though she shows signs of that herding speed and explosiveness, she seems to need less occupation than her 10+ year-old foster brothers. Despite coming from a farm, Pepper is housebroken, kennel trained, and good on a leash. In a short amount of time, she’s learned the routine of her foster parents’ dogs, catching on to schedules and everyday commands and fitting in well much of the time. With some initial boundary setting, she’s respectful of what furniture is pet approved. Pepper has improved greatly on appeasement behaviors, but will still lick hands, whimper, or vocalize like a husky when she’s excited. She’ll let out a groan of disapproval otherwise. Pepper is very friendly with everyone she meets and is gentle with her foster family’s toddler. While she likes to play outside, go on walks and car rides, and run with her foster brothers in the backyard, she’s always the first dog to chill out on her own and is very content hanging out near the couch, on a dog bed, or on the patio. Pepper is still a puppy and loves keeping herself busy with chew toys… she’ll find her own if pet-friendly chew toys aren’t around. Pepper should not be off leash. Unfortunately, she butts heads with her foster brothers pretty often. Pepper is not aggressive or an instigator, but she is ignorant to her foster brothers’ signals and space. Often absentmindedly getting between them and their favorite toys, beds, bowls, etc., they’ll growl or snip, which has caused outbursts. She’s also working on the “let go” portion of fetch & play, triggering some territorial disputes over toys. Other times she’ll be submissive and allow herself to be herded by her brothers. Her foster parents are working on the situation but haven’t had a lot of success (three hard heads). All that said, Pepper does not like to be left out and is most comfortable being where her brothers or the people are. During her first few days, she had signs of separation anxiety like whining in her crate, looking to get around/over a fence if her parents were on opposite side of it, and barking if she wasn’t doing the same activity as her brothers. This improved greatly after about 2-3 days of learning a new routine, so we suspect she has some worries about abandonment. Pepper wants a family with a yard to play in and sidewalks to get exercise on. We believe she’d do great with any age of people. As far as pet companions, the right balance would need to be struck. Pepper would do great around other cheerfully unconcerned dogs who aren’t territorial. We believe she’d do better with a friend but could adjust to the single-dog role after catching on to her new family’s routine.

I’ll need my new family to continue working with me on my manners since I’m such a young guy. I love to learn new things, especially when you use yummy treats. I have SUPER food drive! I have a lot of toy drive as well. My energy level is high so I would love to find an active family who is dedicated to continue training. I even have potential as a sport dog. I’m very eager to learn & pick things up fast. I love having other dogs to play with and I’m even great with the 4 kids in my foster home! I absolutely love them.

A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.(Sending an "Inquiry" via Petfinder does not constitute an application.) Henry is a 10-12 month old Australian Cattle Dog who was found as a stray with his border collie buddy before a winter storm. We couldn’t leave him behind so he joined MOKAN as an honorary border collie. Henry loves everyone and would be a great family pet. He gets along with other dogs and loves to play with his foster brothers. He likes cats but does think they should be his friend and doesn’t understand why they don’t feel the same! Henry is house trained and crate trained, rides well in the car ( but still gets nauseous at times) and is doing pretty well on leash walking. Henry’s favorite things are Benebones, stuffed Kongs, belly rubs and romps with this friends. He also likes the baby pool, going on walks and watching over the yard from the deck. He is slowly getting more interested in toys but so far has no interest in fetch. He has moderate food drive. Henry does like to chase cars while on walks so this is something he has been working on but it will likely be a long term process. He is also working on basic manners and obedience. He is a typical young cattle dog and someone with breed experience and willingness to continue his training will be the ideal home. That said, he is of moderate energy and does not necessarily need a working or sport home, just a family to love him and keep him busy. Henry will need a 4 foot or higher above ground fence to keep him safe. He is being fostered in the Ozark, MO area.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 16, 2026, 10:23 am
