Burlington, NC
Size

Story
Tux is a very playful, cuddly girl. She loves to play outside all day with a favorite toy, but most of all, she loves being with her people. If you are looking for an energetic and loyal border collie, Tux is the one for you! Unfortunately, Tux cannot be around cats and small dogs whatsoever. This is why she is having to be rehomed. She reacts to anything small like it is prey, so she needs to be in a home with no small animals or young children. She can be a wonderful dog, but our home is not the right one for her.

Story
Dumont is a 1-year-old, 52-pound girl with a big heart and a deep love for her people. Once she has time to decompress and burn off some energy, she truly shines and shows just how wonderful she can be. On leash, Dumont walks without jumping and is very manageable. She tends to zigzag and happily carries a toy along the way, proudly showing it off, but she does not pull much. She rides beautifully in the car—initially unsure about getting in, but able to jump in and out on her own. Once settled, she sits or lays down and relaxes for the ride. Dumont enjoys exploring and sniffing, especially in low-stress environments, and loves carrying her toys wherever she goes. She knows “sit” and is learning additional cues like “down” and “get your toy.” She is very smart and quickly learns what is expected of her, especially when rewarded for keeping all four paws on the ground. She is treat motivated and takes treats gently. Affection is one of Dumont’s favorite things. She wants to be close to her person, soaking up pets and giving enthusiastic kisses. After exercise and mental stimulation, she happily settles into snuggle mode, curling up beside you with her head in your lap. Dumont adores meeting new people and is still learning polite greetings. She does best when visitors ask her to sit before offering attention or treats, and she improves quickly with consistency. She can sometimes be reactive to other dogs, so she will need continued training and thoughtful handling in those situations. In overstimulating or stressful environments, Dumont may become jumpy or mouthy, especially when first coming out of the kennel. Offering her a toy right away helps her redirect that excitement. As a young dog, she is still learning how to regulate her energy, but she responds well to verbal cues and guidance. Dumont would thrive in a calmer home that provides consistent structure, patience, and appropriate mental and physical outlets. With the right environment and continued training, she is an affectionate, intelligent companion who wants nothing more than to be close to her person and do well. As always, we strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines. To meet your new pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!

Tessa

Border Collie

Female, Adult
Sophia, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tessa is a 9yo border collie mix. An active household or one with kids living there or visiting often would be perfect for her. Can provide a crate if needed but she's house trained and free roams indoors now. The Good: Shes extremely smart, learns well and isn't destructive. She can be trained with voice and hand commands. She's very active for her age and doesn't have an off setting - more like a standby mode. She's absolutely addicted to tennis balls! Adores children to the point of whining if she can't play with them. Even though she's a herding breed, she's never nipped at kids for running around or being loud. The Bad: Tessa is leash-reactive towards other dogs, so she's not the kind of dog you can take to the dog park or other doggy events. She's very selective with the dogs she'll get along with, usually she prefers small male breeds. She got into a fight with my other, bigger female dog and hasn't gotten over it in 3 years. No cats!

Petey

Border Collie Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, Young
Durham, NC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This beautiful boy is the quintessential old-fashioned dog. Petey is good natured, obedient trustworthy, affectionate and loyal. He loves to be active and also enjoys quiet time with close cuddling. He is good with other friendly dogs. He is E collar trained and will also go in a crate. Ideally, he likes to have ready access to the outdoors. His enthusiasm can be quite exuberant which settles dramatically with attention. As he is about 80 pounds, it may be better for him to be in a family with school age children. He is not destructive. His preference is to sleep in bed with his people, but is also happy anywhere. Petey is playful and trainable. I can’t speak enough of Petey and how adaptable he has been. The first year of his life was neglect, tied up outside in rural North Carolina. Despite this, his good nature has persevered. He’s not tested around cats but his obedience would leave one alone. If Petey is not a good fit, he must be returned to me.

Border Collie

Male, Young
Winston Salem, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
He has no behavioral issues, at least hasn’t show them to me and my partner. He nips when he’s excited. He knows sit, paw, down, stay, come, crate, we’ve been working on the off and place commands and he understands them sometimes but we have been very busy and haven’t been able to drill those in. He also does pull on leash and so much so that he has escaped his collar a few times but I never chase after him and simply give a firm come command and he comes back. He is potty trained, when he has to use the bathroom he will stand by the door and look at it and he will stand on his two back legs and scratch at it. He is neutered but we have not been able to take him to the vet yet to get his heart worm and flee prevention pills. He is a shelter rescue that we got a bit over a month ago and I am sad we have to part. I recommend whoever adopts him has a decent sized yard or a lot of free time in order to give him the exercise he needs. He’s a good boy with a lot of energy and a big heart.

Burlington, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Rocky, a laid-back, big-hearted guy who`s looking for the perfect companion. Rocky thrives in a calm, quiet home, ideally with an individual or couple who can offer him the peace he craves. While he`s tolerant of kids, he prefers to snuggle only with his bonded person. True to his cattle dog nature, Rocky is protective of his territory and takes his time warming up to newcomers. But with a few tasty treats, he’s quick to make new friends! Out in public, like at Lowes or the park, he’s friendly and allows people to pet him.He’s an easy-going guy who enjoys nice walks or short hikes and does well on a leash. However, he’s not a fan of other dogs and would prefer to be the only pup in the home. Rocky is food-driven, so with patience and training, he can overcome his dog-on-dog challenges.Rocky is fully house-trained, and he’ll always let you know when it`s time to go potty. He can be left home alone for long periods and is perfectly well-behaved—no chewing, no accidents. He’s also pretty good at following basic commands: sit, down, stay, and come. He doesn’t jump up on guests or try to dash out the door when it opens.While he can tolerate cats, small animals like squirrels aren’t his thing, and he won’t chase them. He enjoys playing tug-of-war and carrying around his stuffies (though he doesn’t chew them up!). Rocky also loves to bury bones and toys that he’s particularly fond of.He has a sensitivity to certain ingredients like corn, wheat, and soy, so he requires allergy-friendly food. He’s also afraid of thunderstorms, so a little extra care during storms will go a long way.Though Rocky hasn’t been crate trained, he seems to like the idea of having his own space. With his thick fur, he does require regular brushing, but professional grooming isn’t necessary. He`s not a fan of water or swimming, but he doesn’t bark excessively—just enough to alert when something’s up.If you’re ready for a loyal companion who thrives on a peaceful, loving environment, Rocky could be your guy!
