Story
Maggie is a 9-month-old border collie mix. She is a sweet puppy—very smart and easily trainable. Maggie is both crate-trained and house-trained. She has mastered the "sit" command and is currently working on "stay" and "come." She walks on a leash, although she still exhibits some typical puppy behaviors, such as pulling and occasionally tugging on the leash. Maggie enjoys playing fetch with a tennis ball and loves to chase after a soft Frisbee. She has undergone a complete veterinary check-up, is fully vaccinated, and is on heartworm prevention medication. However, she does not seem to get along with cats, which is the reason for her rehoming. Although she has had limited interactions with other dogs, her few encounters have gone well after a bit of barking and playful behavior. If you're interested in meeting Maggie, come to our adoption event on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month from 11am-2pm, located at 6300 San Mateo NE in the south Sprouts parking lot. Alternatively, we can arrange a Private Meet-and-Greet with the foster parent and your household with a completed application. Complete an easy, no-obligation online application and take the first step towards welcoming Maggie into your home by clicking on this link https://form.jotform.com/222028369049155 The $250 adoption fee covers all vaccines, spay, microchip, and heartworm/tick-borne illness testing.

Story
Meet Zeus – 90% Ears, 10% Dog, 100% ZoomiZeus is a 1-year-old male Border Collie mix whose ears arrive in the room before the rest of him. Seriously—those things have their own zip code. Along with the ears comes a whole lot of energy, enthusiasm, and playful chaos in the very best way. This guy lives for balls, toys, and zoomies, and he’s always ready to turn any yard into his personal racetrack. Zeus is smart and eager to please, knowing sit, down, stay, and come, and he’s gentle taking treats (even when he’s excited). He’s friendly, affectionate, and loves being part of the action.With other dogs, Zeus can be a bit forward, so a meet and greet is recommended to make sure everyone’s vibes line up. His previous owner reported that he is crate trained, rides well in the car, and may pull some on leash—nothing unexpected for a young, energetic herding mix who’s ready to learn. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, big-eared sidekick who will keep you laughing, moving, and never missing a sound, Zeus is ready to sprint straight into your heart.

Story
Meet Henry! Henry was born around April 1st, 2025, and he lives life at full speed. From the moment he wakes up, Henry is on the move and ready for whatever comes next. He is outgoing, high-energy, and experiences the world with a level of enthusiasm that is honestly impressive. Henry is silly, playful, and very social. He loves his toys, loves to play with other dogs, and wants to be involved in absolutely everything happening around him. He is dog friendly and cat friendly, and would do his best in a home where he has plenty of opportunities to stay active and keep his brain busy. Henry is happiest when he’s running, wrestling, exploring, or bouncing from one activity to the next. Henry is a mix of heeler, pit/staffordshire terrier, and chihuahua. His constant motion comes from a place of very high anxiety, and because of that, Henry would really benefit from an adopter who understands anxious dogs and knows how important structure, routine, and appropriate outlets can be. An active home that enjoys training, enrichment, and consistency will help Henry thrive. Another playful dog in the home would be a great bonus for him. Henry is potty trained and crate trained, though like any dog, we expect there may be a few accidents as he adjusts to a new home and routine. He is up to date on all vaccinations and heartworm prevention, neutered, and microchipped. If you have experience with anxious dogs and are looking for a fun, high-energy companion, then our sweet Henry may be the right fit for your family. If you'd like to meet Henry, please fill out our adoption application at www.bbanimalrescue.org/adopt.
