Story
Meet Harley! Harley is a 25–30 pound Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for adventure. This one year old little girl is true to her herding breed roots, she’s incredibly smart, alert, and always ready for a job—whether that’s showing off her natural herding instincts or keeping up with you on outdoor adventures. One of Harley’s absolute favorite things is swimming. If there’s water nearby, she’s in it! She would thrive in an active home that enjoys hiking, exploring, or spending time outdoors. She’s the kind of dog who will happily be your sidekick wherever you go. Harley gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would enjoy having a canine companion to play with. However, due to her strong prey drive, she would do best in a home without small animals like cats or rabbits. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic, and fun-loving companion who’s always ready for the next adventure, Harley might just be your perfect match. Harley is being fostered in MS but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal friendly transport on the road! We look forward to hearing from you and will be happy to answer any questions about her that you may have!

Meet Lila, Lila is a sweet and affectionate collie mix, she can be shy at first but warms up quickly, she can be a little weary of quick movements, but loves to lounge on the couch with her Nylabone. Lila is a collie mix and does have a high prey drive when playing. She would love a doggy friend more her size. Lila loves to go swimming and play in a plastic kiddie pool. She is crate and leash trained. Could make an active person a great running partner. Although Lila resides in the state of Georgia, she would be happy to make the trip up north to find her forever home.

Story
Meet Eliza!This young adult petite border collie mix is looking for a special person to continue her training and socialization. She is very fearful and distrustful of people until she bonds, but once she trusts is a fun high energy walking, hiking and jogging companion with her chosen buddy. She's fearful and avoids other dogs and is looking for a calmer experienced adult home with just one person she can bond to and protect. She loves to catch frisbees and play fetch and is a dog who needs a "job" to keep her mind busy and give her an appropriate outlet for her energy... no couch potatoes for this dog! Eliza is about 35lbs full grown and has the intelligence and energy of a border collie, with a bit more of the independent attitude of a shiba or spitz type breed. *Multiple meets required* Please submit an application for an appointment to meet her Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Age: 6yrs 8mths 3wks

Story
Brains, beauty, and loyalty in one package- That's our survivor Hannah! This compact 9 year old came to us as a pup originally after being hit by a car and left for dead with a fractured leg and pelvis. After a complicated surgery and rehab she made a full recovery and is an active healthy girl. Sadly due to changes in her adopters' living situation she is back at the shelter after years in a loving home, and she's very unhappy about it:/Hannah is a bit nervous and untrusting with new people, but after proper introductions and some yummy treats to win her over her sweet side shines through. She's very in tune to her people and their moods, and once you are in her circle of friends her loyalty and devotion is unmatched. She hasn't been socialized with other dogs and reacts when she sees them at a distance on leash, and a home where she can be the only pet and in a quieter low traffic living arrangement would be best for her. She knows her commands, is housebroken and well mannered in the house, and is about 50lbs full grown. We think she's border collie or cattle dog mixed with pittie, and she has the intelligence, energy, and playfulness of all 3 rolled into one little dog. Adults only please, she hasn't been around kids and they would frighten her. Please help Hannah find her perfect home and submit an application today for an appointment to meet her Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 58 Age: 9yrs 11mths 2wks

Story
This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)
