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.

This is Cooper he is a 5 year old border collie blue healer an amazing dog and does love anyone after a couple times of meeting them. Cooper has allot of energy and loves to run around and play. He knows basic commands sits and shakes hands before every meal. Very good in kennels and leash trained. My new homes back yard is just not big enough for him and me and my wife now have a baby in the house and he's just to rambunctious to keep him. It truly hurts my heart to even be doing this I have had him since he was only 6 weeks old. I just cannot keep him I have tried everything to avoid this but it is time I just want Cooper to go to the best loving home I could find for him

Story
Meet Bellara!Bellara is sweet as can be! She loves to snuggle, play, and go on walks! Her favorite toys are lambchops but she can be a bit rough on them so a more durable alternative is recommended. Bellara is a bit chunky so regular walks and a good diet will be important in her future home. Bellara does not do well with small animals, she would do best in a home with larger dogs or where she is the only pet. She does display some signs of anxiety so someone who can be with her 24/7 would be ideal. Bellara is at our main ranch location!Watermelon Mountain Ranch(Across from Cleveland High School)3251 Westphalia Blvd. NERio Rancho, NM 87144505-221-2359Wed-Sun 11am-4pm(adoptions and tours until 3pm)
