Border Collie puppies and dogs in Bayonne, New Jersey

**Located in Korea** Finishing heartworm treatment. Rescued from the local shelter in South Korea the same day he was scheduled to be euthanized. He is estimated to be up to 2 years old and looks like a Border Collie and Jindomix. He is not very interested in playing with other dogs and is more interested in exploring and going for walks. He doesn't have separation anxiety, but when he's with people, he's always hovering over them or asking to be petted. However, it's better to give him time to adjust to the new dog, with a reasonable distance, rather than showing affection. He has a demanding bark and doesn't like to be chased by other dogs, is not picky about food and barks at strangers. Recommended to be adopted by a family with no children and a regular routine lifestyle.ALL adoptions require a completed application and final contract. The application can be found at  WaldosRescue.org  and once you are approved to adopt you will be put in touch with the foster to see if it’s a good match. We are a RESCUE not a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We are unable to contact every applicant for every dog.  We will select the best applicant for each dog, based on the dogs needs. Waldos Rescue Pen is a 501c3 whose primary focus is rescuing dogs from the euthanasia list from high kill shelters throughout the United States. ##2152589##

Zero’s life began in a place no dog should ever know. She was seized by law enforcement from an animal cruelty situation and brought to a small, rural shelter in Oklahoma—confused, quiet, and unsure of what people might ask of her next. Because of what she’s been through, Zero is understandably cautious with strangers. She prefers to approach new situations on her own terms, taking a moment to observe before stepping forward. But beneath that reserved exterior is a deeply gentle soul who truly longs for connection. Zero absolutely loves other dogs and often feels more confident and at ease in their presence. A canine companion could be just the reassurance she needs as she continues to grow into herself. She’s not the dog who will demand attention the moment you meet her—but she is the dog who will quietly steal your heart if you give her the time and patience she deserves. Zero is waiting for someone willing to look past her soft, quiet demeanor and see the loving heart she’s been protecting. Zero is fostered in Glastonbury, CT, and is available for local or out-of-state adoption as long as the adopter can travel to meet her. We can also bring her to NYC for a meet and greet with approved adopters. To get the adoption process started, please send us an application at https://bit.ly/rosr-adopt-foster.

Hi, I’m Crumbles ??I’m a 3-month-old Border Collie puppy who had a pretty wild start to life. I was found all alone out in the Georgia wilderness (yep, by myself), until a kind human scooped me up and got me safe. After that, I made my way all the way to NYC — which has been… a lot for a little guy like me.I want to be friends. Truly. I’m sweet, curious, and very smart — but the world is still a little scary to me. I need patience, calm guidance, and lots of positive exposure at a pace I can handle. When I feel overwhelmed, my big feelings come out before my confidence does.Being a Border Collie means my brain is always ON. I’m already showing strong instincts and opinions, and during a puppy playdate I had a hard time sharing toys and got a bit growly. I’m not trying to be mean — I just need structure, training, and someone who understands how to guide a smart, sensitive puppy like me.Because of that, I cannot be a first-dog. I need an experienced, confident owner who knows working breeds and is ready to invest time, training, and consistency. I also won’t be adopted to a home with children under 12, since I’m still learning how to navigate big emotions safely.I have so much potential. With the right person, I’m going to grow into an incredible dog — loyal, brilliant, and deeply bonded to my human. I just need someone who sees past the puppy nerves and knows how to help me succeed.If you’re experienced, patient, and ready to guide a little mind that’s learning fast… I might just be your Crumbles ???Crumbles is neutered, dewormed, microchipped and is up to date with vaccines. His adoption fee is $650.00, plus $8.50 for the dog license if you are a resident of NYC. Crumbles will also get one free exam with one of our participating veterinarians within 30 days of his adoption.If you`d like to meet him please visit, we`re conveniently located in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn near the F train (Ft Hamilton Pkwy) and the B16 bus. We`re open daily for adoptions from 11am to 5:30pm.Crumbles can`t wait to meet you!Sean Casey Animal Rescue153 E. 3 St.between Ft Hamilton Pkwy & Caton AveBrooklyn, NY 11218adoptions@nyanimalrescue.orgNYS Department of Agriculture and Markets Registration No. RR160

Jojo  - 3.5 months, 17lbs, Border Collie Mix, SpayedExpected around 40lbs full grown This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Level of dog ownership experience needed:INTERMEDIATE: As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. The adopter must have relevant primary care experience with a similar breed, temperament, and/or energy level. (Primary care experience includes ownership, fostering, or dog sitting as an adult, not a dog you grew up with.) Relevant puppy care experience is a huge plus, but bare minimum the adopter must have TONS of time and patience. Raising a puppy can be a lot of fun, but it’s also  tremendous work. Puppies’ personalities and exercise/stimulation requirements change dramatically between now and when they’re a year old as their bodies and brains develop, so an active lifestyle and the ability to adapt to a pup’s evolving needs are a must. We strongly urge professional dog training with a rewards based trainer from the get go. Adults only or kids ages 8 and up – all puppies go through a mouthy, rambunctious phase and often accidentally hurt children when playing. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN BREED RESEARCH to make sure you have a better understanding of the kind of temperament and exercise requirements this dog may have as an adult. Energy levelMEDIUM: Very young puppies sleep and nap a lot, but their energy level skyrockets when they become teens (4 months to around a year). As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day at a minimum. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  EXPERT: Very young puppies sleep and nap a lot, but their energy level skyrockets when they become teens (4 months to around a year). As an adult, this dog will need loads of structure and daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 2+ consecutive hours of quick paced movement plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  POTTY TRAINED?Working on this skill. Puppies under 12 weeks old are often on track with their wee pad skills, but they’re too young to walk outside in public NYC areas yet because they haven’t finished their puppy vaccine series. Puppies older than 12 weeks are usually learning to do their business outside. Potty training takes a lot of patience, consistency, and clean up.  SOCIAL WITH DOGS?Yes. Some puppies are shy, others are bold, but all have the potential to be taught healthy socializing skills. It’s a huge part of raising a puppy and must be done carefully. How they interact with other dogs depends largely on how their humans help them learn to.  SOCIAL WITH CHILDREN?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)Yes… but most puppies are not a great match for a home with kids under age 8 because they go through intense mouthy play and rambunctious phases and often accidentally hurt young kids while playing. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age respectfully.   SOCIAL WITH CATS?Yes. Almost all puppies have the potential to be friends with a cat. It’s on the adopter to know their cat’s temperament and preferences and to teach their puppy respectful manners.  MOUTHY PLAY: High! All puppies go through phases where they chew your stuff and grab your hands, arms, feet… puppies naturally explore the world, play, and test boundaries with their mouths. (It also happens when they’re teething.) Their teeth are super sharp though, so it can be a very painful phase for humans and other animals in the home. Proper training, outlets, and socialization are key. SEPARATION ANXIETYMEDIUM: Most puppies have some level of separation anxiety as they learn to self soothe. Often they cry the first 10+ minutes when they are left home alone or in a crate. Consistent training and alone time is crucial. LEASH MANNERS:None. :) Will need to learn this skill.   CRATE TRAINED:Nope. None of our new puppies have been formally trained, but many of our foster parents/adopters choose to crate train. It can be a great way to keep puppies safe and teach them independence. MEDICAL STATUS:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella vaccines (for dogs under 4 months old, adopters will need to finish the DHPP vaccine series and administer the Rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age), spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon HOW DID THIS DOG END UP WITH US?Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee, Los Angeles and Puerto Rico. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives.  PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses though!  This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes.

Jessie -  4 months & 17lbs (as of 2/3),  Border Collie Mix, SpayedExpected around 40lbs full grown Please click here to if you want to see videos of Jessie  This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Their Foster Parents Said: "Jessie is a very calm, affectionate pup who I think with the right slow exposure will grow into a confident playful gal. She is very well-behaved as far as puppies go. Has had ZERO accidents in the house, and preferring potty on grass or wood chips over pavement. Pretty much just moves from spot to spot around the house with her bone, comfortable going in and out of her crate to hang as well. Making it through the night (about 10PM - 6AM) and then going out every 3ish hours. Wants to be a little skiddish on our long walks. Cars, flags, other dogs and people tend to stop her in her tracks but working on safe exposure to those each day. Jessie is super confident with making new human friends. She's such a sweet and fun dog. And insanely cute with a stunning personality."  Level of dog ownership experience needed:INTERMEDIATE: As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day.

(This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  TOLERANCE TO CITYAdjusting to the city - I have her out in the suburbs and she is still pretty skittish on our longer walks with cars, flags, other dogs making us pause and sometimes want to hide behind me. I will get her into my place in brooklyn to be able to give you that busier context but I do think its just her adjusting, she gets more comfortable as we go about our walkPOTTY TRAININGYes,I would consider her pretty potty trained, never having had an accident in the house. We go out and as soon as i say 'busy-busy' (something Ive used with my other dogs) she goes right away, preferring grass over pavement but working on it. Right now we go out about every three hours and she will go near the door when its her time to go.COMFORT LEVEL WITH STRANGERSGood at making new friends with humans Social with dogs?Yes. Some puppies are shy, others are bold, but all have the potential to be taught healthy socializing skills. It’s a huge part of raising a puppy and must be done carefully. How they interact with other dogs depends largely on how their humans help them learn to.  Social with children?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)Sort of – some puppies enjoy interacting with children, others get easily overwhelmed by their energy and attention. Regardless, most puppies are not a great match for a home with kids under age 8 because they go through intense mouthy play and rambunctious phases and often accidentally hurt young kids while playing. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age respectfully.   Social with cats?Yes. Most puppies have the potential to be friends with a cat. It’s on the adopter to know their cat’s temperament and preferences and to teach their puppy respectful manners.  MOUTHY BEHAVIORPast this stage - She really isn't mouthy with hand or feet at all. She is very invested in her bully stick which I think stimulates her in a healthy way, every once in a while she will go for a chair leg or something but I think it's boredom and can be quickly correctedLEASH MANNERSGetting the hang of it - Still a bit early but I think getting the hang of it. She will zig zag some and pull, mostly when she is frightened and trying to make space between her and the scary thing but will respond to correction. Sits nicely to get her leash on and offSEPARATION ANXIETYPast this stage - She is fine to be left alone, may whine for a minute or so but settles nicely. When she is out and about she does like to know where you are and will follow you but will wonder on her own or come hang in the same room as I work. I'll leave her to roam the house while I shower or go upstairs for a bit and then when I leave the house I'll put her in her crateCUDDLE BUG LEVELMedium - She is a great cuddler if you invite her to but is very content on a bed in the same room or at your feetJUMPING ON PEOPLE TO SAY HELLONeeds training While initially very cautious around new people, if they get down on her level she will get very excited and jump but I think with some correction she should move away from it.CRATE TRAININGYep/mostly She is great in her crate! I leave the door open all day and she will sometimes go in there to nap. She goes in for the night around 10PM with me getting her out around 6AM with no accidents. Very minimal whining, usually only a minute or two as I head upstairs. I also leave her in there when I leave the house with again no issues, usually just goes to sleep MEDICAL STATUS:Healthy as far as we know.
