Vienna (VieVie, VV) is an 2 mth old, 9 lb female Border Collie/Labrador Retriever cross with a soft, fluffy black and white puppy coat, an expressive brown eye, and adorable floppy ears that perfectly match her curious personality. She has dainty white markings on her chest and paws that make her even more irresistible. Sweet, intelligent, and always eager to make new friends, Vienna is a happy little puppy who approaches life with confidence and curiosity. Her name was chosen after the Billy Joel song. It urges listeners to stop rushing through life, prioritize what brings true fulfillment over the relentless pursuit of success. Vienna will truly enrich your life and bring focus to the little enjoyments of life. Viennas right eye is underdeveloped and she doesnt have vision in it. Her left eye is properly developed. She has no negative effects from her right eye and requires no medication at this time. It is not painful and she gets along just fine with one functioning eye. You would never know that she has vision issues. Like many young puppies, Vienna came into rescue at the beginning of her life, giving her the opportunity to find a loving forever family. As she grows, shell need continued socialization, positive training, and plenty of patience to help her become a confident, well-rounded adult. With consistency and love, she has all the potential to become an amazing companion. Vienna would thrive in almost any home that is ready for the commitment of raising a young puppy. A single-family home with a fenced yard would be most ideal to help with her activity levels. But many other homes with the right access to outdoor play, would be ok. Whether its an active family, a couple, or an individual, shell do best with people who have the time to continue her training, provide daily exercise, and include her in family activities. She is friendly, affectionate, and loves being around people. Like any puppy, she may bark occasionally during play or when she wants attention but is not considered an excessive barker. As a Border Collie/Lab mix, shell grow into an active dog who will enjoy multiple daily long walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. Shes just beginning to learn leash manners and will benefit from positive reinforcement as she grows. One of Viennas most endearing qualities is her joyful outlook on life. She loves to explore, cuddle after playtime, and happily greets everyone she meets with a wagging tail. Her short to medium-length coat is easy to care for with regular brushing to keep her looking her best. She will not need to attend a groomer for her coat management and does well having her nails trimmed at home. She is just beginning her house training journey and is learning a consistent routine with frequent potty breaks (about every hour and immediately following meals and crate time) and praise for success. She will bark or fuss to let you know she needs to go and has only had an accident when the humans miss her cue. Vienna is also learning that her crate is a safe, comfortable place to relax. She settles well with a cozy blanket and toy, sleeps in her crate through the night and is comfortable eating meals there. Crate training is helping her develop good routines and confidence. She also has experience with car rides and is adjusting well and continues to gain confidence with each trip. Vienna enjoys the company of other friendly dogs and would likely do well living with a male canine companion who can continue to teach her appropriate dog manners. She will not be suited for a home with a female dog. With proper introductions, she is also expected to do well in a home with dog-savvy cats, especially given her young age. On walks, she is naturally curious about other dogs, birds, squirrels, and new sights but is easily redirected as she continues learning about the world. Because she is still a young puppy, Vienna would do well with respectful children who understand how to interact gently with puppies. Children ages 8 and up will be appropriate for her. As with any puppy, all interactions between young children and dogs should be supervised to ensure positive experiences for everyone. She is a herding breed and will nip when excited but is easily redirected. At her young age, Vienna is just beginning to learn the foundations of good manners. She is working on responding to her name, coming when called, and simple cues like sit. She is eager to learn, food motivated, and expected to excel with positive reinforcement training. Puppy classes are mandatory and will provide valuable socialization while helping build confidence and strengthen the bond with her new family. Vienna has received age-appropriate veterinary care, including her initial vaccinations, deworming, and wellness examination. She will require additional puppy vaccine boosters as she grows and will need to be spayed when she reaches the appropriate age, as directed by her veterinarian or adoption agreement. She has handled her veterinary visits well and has no known health concerns at this time other than an under-developed eye that has not slowed her down at all. Anyone interested in Vienna needs to live within one hour of Cambridge, Ont as she must be returned to our vet at six months of age to be spayed. She will be adopted out on a contract that stipulates this, and it is mandatory. This is covered in the adoption fee. If youre looking for a loving, intelligent, and playful puppy to grow alongside your family, Vienna could be the perfect match. She is searching for a forever home committed to continuing her training, providing plenty of exercise and enrichment, and showering her with love as she matures. In return, shell reward you with endless affection, laughter, and loyal companionship. If youre ready for all the fun and adventure that comes with raising a puppy, Vienna cant wait to meet you!

George is a two-year-old male, roughly 45 pounds. He is a cross of some kind, perhaps between a border collie and some sort of hound? He is dignified, polite, intelligent, good-natured, loves to run and play and have his belly rubbed: he shows affection quietly, by coming and placing his head against you. He is neutered, microchipped and house-trained. He is very good with people, and generally with other dogs, at least off-leash. He can panic, however, on-leash, if he gets in close quarters with another dog. We think he must have broken his left hind foot at some point in the past: it has healed, and he can run very fast on it, but occasionally favours it, and has begun to develop arthritis. He currently lives with 2 dogs.  His foster home is in  midtown Toronto.  Due to time constraints, we cannot respond to every email asking for more information on a dog.

Meet Bairn, an energetic and enthusiastic dog in search of an active, confident owner. Bairn has a zest for life and loves to stay busy, whether it’s going for runs, long walks, swimming, or cuddling with his favorite people. He thrives on learning new things and is a quick learner—definitely a smart cookie! Bairn is reactive to new people, other dogs, and some vehicles, so he will need to be walked with a muzzle as a precaution. However, his reactivity can be managed with consistent training, energy-draining activities, keeping a safe distance from triggers, and positive reinforcement for good behavior. When his mind is engaged and his energy is properly channeled, Bairn is much more balanced and in control. This wonderful boy will need a dedicated owner who is committed to continuing his training and giving him the structure he needs. While Bairn may not be immediately friendly with new people, he just needs time and slow, controlled introductions to build trust. Once he bonds with you, he’ll show you his goofy, lovable side. Bairn is looking for a home with a fully fenced yard, where he can thrive in a calm and structured environment. He would do best in a home without small children or other dogs. With patience and understanding, Bairn will prove to be the best companion you could ask for!

Meet Hazel   A Gentle Border Collie Looking for Her Forever Family   Hazel is a sweet, affectionate 2-year-old Border Collie with a calm personality and a heart full of love. She may not have had the easiest start in life, but she’s ready to leave her past behind and find a family to call her own.   Name: Hazel Age: 2 years Breed: Border Collie Sex: Spayed Female Weight: 20 kg (44 lbs) Height: 46 cm (18 in) at the shoulder Color: Black & White   Rescue Story Hazel is Aesop’s mother. She was found at a highway rest stop and brought to a municipal shelter in February, where it was discovered that she was pregnant. She gave birth to Aesop at the shelter, and today her puppy has safely joined her forever family in Vancouver to begin her new life. Now it’s Hazel’s turn to find the loving family she deserves.   Personality   Hazel is incredibly affectionate and people-oriented. She happily approaches both familiar faces and strangers, enjoys being petted, and loves the company of both men and women.   She can easily be picked up by placing an arm under her belly—but instead of being lifted, she’ll often dramatically flop onto her back for belly rubs! Even people she has just met are greeted with a trusting belly-up welcome.   With Other Dogs   Hazel is polite when meeting new dogs and enjoys saying hello, but she doesn’t have much interest in playing with them. She much prefers spending time with people.   If another dog bothers her while she’s relaxing, she’ll let them know she’d rather be left alone by shooing them away. However, she has no aggression and does not start fights. She’s simply an independent, peaceful girl.   Cats   She may curiously watch cats during walks, but she easily follows her handler without reacting. A formal cat test can be arranged if needed.   Energy Level   Hazel has a low energy level and is happiest lounging nearby and relaxing with her family. She absolutely enjoys going for walks, making her an ideal companion for someone looking for a calm dog who still appreciates daily outdoor adventures.   Walking   Hazel has a mild leash pull but is easy to handle. Like many dogs, she enjoys stopping to sniff and explore her surroundings.   More About Hazel   No food guarding toward people or other dogs Rarely barks Calm and quiet in a crate Mostly potty trained for outdoor elimination   Hazel is a gentle, easygoing girl who asks for very little—just kindness, love, and a soft place to rest. After raising her puppy, it’s finally her time to be someone’s beloved companion. Could that family be yours?

Oreo is a 3-year-old male Border Collie/Jindo mix who was rescued from a shelter just before he was scheduled for euthanasia. Sadly, and for unknown reasons, before finding himself abandoned and alone at the shelter, his teeth had been deliberately ground down. Amazingly and despite this, he remains a lively, energetic, and otherwise healthy dog who is remarkably intelligent, craves human interaction, and is very loyal to his guardian. Oreo has the exceptional intelligence typical of Border Collies, fully understanding various commands such as "sit," "wait," and "house." He is also deeply loyal to his guardian and has a strong capacity for forming deep bonds typical of the Jindo breed. He is truly a remarkable dog who has the capacity to grow into an even more amazing companion through continued obedience training and by establishing a trusting relationship with his guardian. Oreo is incredibly affectionate and loves people. He is also very social and gets along well with other dogs. However, he has a habit of jumping when excited, which requires caution when a person is interacting with him in a low position. With consistent training, this behavior can be corrected. Being highly energetic, Oreo possesses excellent jumping ability. At the training center, he has been known to leap over fences—not out of a desire to escape, but due to his curiosity and strong attachment to his guardian. In fact, he has demonstrated behavior where he jumps over a fence when he hears his guardian's voice outside, only to return shortly after. For this reason, families with yards should ensure proper supervision, and a high-fenced environment may be more suitable. The Ideal Family for Oreo is: ✔️ Someone who understands the high intelligence and energy levels of Border Collies, the exceptional loyalty of Jindos, and can provide sufficient mental and physical stimulation ✔️ Someone with experience in training or handling large dogs ✔️ Someone who values bonding with their dog and is ready to build a deep connection ✔️ Someone who can provide ample space for Oreo to move and exercise freely Despite his heartbreaking past, Oreo still loves people and finds his greatest happiness in being with his guardian. With so much intelligence and energy, he has limitless potential to become the perfect lifelong companion if he meets the right family, one that understands him and is ready to provide him with love, care, and proper training. Oreo is waiting for his new family! ❤️
