Story
Meet Piper!! (case #22449) At just eight months old, Piper is still a puppy with a whole world of adventures ahead of her! This lovely Border Collie mix arrived at the shelter as a stray, and sadly, no one came forward to claim her. Now, she’s looking for a fresh start with a family who will help her grow into the confident, happy dog she’s meant to be. Piper is a sweetheart at heart, but she can be a little unsure of herself in new situations. She’s still learning about the world, and she’ll need a patient, encouraging family who understands that confidence takes time to build. The good news? This clever girl already knows how to sit, and she’s motivated by food, making treats and positive reinforcement excellent tools for helping her learn! As a Border Collie mix, Piper has brains to spare and plenty of energy to match. She’ll thrive with a family who enjoys teaching new skills, working on training, and finding fun ways to keep both her mind and body busy. Think walks, games, enrichment activities, and learning new tricks! A predictable routine, clear structure, and consistent, reward-based training will help her feel secure while giving her the guidance she needs to succeed. Piper was a little timid when introduced to an overly enthusiastic dog at the shelter, so she may appreciate a calmer canine companion who respects her space and lets friendships develop at her pace. Any dog introductions should be thoughtful and gradual, allowing Piper the time she needs to feel comfortable. Piper may not be the puppy who rushes headfirst into every new adventure just yet, but with the right support, she has so much potential. She’s looking for someone who will celebrate the little victories, encourage her curiosity, and help her discover that the world isn't such a big, scary place after all. Could you be Piper’s person? If you’re ready to put in the time, offer plenty of enrichment, and help a sweet, smart young dog blossom, Piper could be the perfect partner for your next adventure. Please complete an adoption request: https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only. This allows our Adoption Staff to spend quality time with each potential home to ensure the most successful matches are made between the animals and their new families. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario

Apollo

Border Collie

Male, Adult
St Catharines, ON
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Apollo is a 4-year-old Border Collie with a loving, lively personality. He is house/crate trained and knows basic commands. He is very active and needs daily exercise and mental stimulation; without enough, he can become hyper and reactive, but with his needs met he is calm and well behaved. He has anxiety around unfamiliar people/animals and may snap defensively, so slow introductions and an experienced handler are essential. His reactivity has improved significantly but still needs training. He has a past history of leash-related nipping when highly reactive, though this has not happened for quite a while. He is affectionate with children and has lived with cats. Recently, he had two incidents with a household kitten during play, causing injuries requiring vet visits, including a scratch near the eye. They are currently separated/muzzled together. He also becomes intensely fixated on shadows/movement. He needs an experienced home able to provide structure and stimulation.

George

Border Collie

Male, Adult
Toronto, ON
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
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 listed on our site: Pipo and Karti. George and Pipo are especially good together.  George's ideal home would be one with people who are calm and are experienced with large dogs. One where he's allowed on the couch and bed. His foster home is in  midtown Toronto.  Due to time constraints, we cannot respond to every email asking for more information on a dog. Please carefully review the bio for the dog and our adoption process https://www.speakingofdogs.com/adoption/adoption-process/.  If you are still interested in adopting, please fill out the adoption application form at the bottom of that page.October 23, 2026, 7:44 pm

Border Collie Labrador Retriever

Male, Senior
Toronto, ON
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Finn is located in Milton. Meet Finn, a bright, curious 60 pound Collie/Labrador mix who turns 8 years old this November.  He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vetting.  He’s looking for someone who enjoys sharing their attention, teaching a dog new things, and making everyday outings interesting. Finn loves games and training. He’s smart and enjoys a challenge, although he can lose interest when things become too repetitive. Mixing up his games, practising different skills, and exploring new walking routes help keep him engaged. His ideal person would enjoy that interaction and be excited to include him in their day. Finn likes being close to his people and often follows along with whatever you’re doing. He isn’t a big snuggler, but he shows affection through licking. He also explores the world with his nose and mouth: chewing sticks, squishing tennis balls, and enthusiastically dismantling toys are favourite activities. He’ll need suitable chew toys and supervision with things he could chew apart. At home, Finn barks very little and hasn’t been destructive of household belongings. He will bark when people visit but takes his cues from his owner and warms up quickly to visitors.  He has not lived with cats or other dogs. Cats are not recommended but he does have the potential to live with another dog.   His ideal home would be someone who works from home at least part of the time or is home more often than not to meet his mental and physical needs.  October 23, 2026, 7:44 pm
