Story
My name is Wendy! I was found with 2 puppies nursing who were way too big for to be doing so but they had no other food! What was a mom to do? I am now here in Rhode Island and I am told I no longer need to worry about nursing pups! THANK YOU! I am looking for my new home and hope someone would be interested in a young former mom who walks well on a lead, knows to potty outside and loves to meet other dogs nicely! I like a nice comfy bed (yours works if you like!), I like to pull apart soft toys (!) and really don't care to bark much! My foster mom thinks I am a DREAM! I like to give her kisses and snuggles! Hoping my future family will see this and ask to meet me! I'm WAITING! All you need to do is apply to RHODE HOME RESCUE and get approved - then we can meet! I can't wait!

Story
Going along with the fall season and apple time, we decided to name these pups after apples! We always have a "name that litter" contest on Facebook and the apple theme was the winner. Here's their story. Mama is a full blooded Border Collie who was dumped off in a church parking lot. The parishioners started feeding her so she hung around. After a while they could see that she was pregnant so they reached out for help. By the time we had arrived mama Phoebe had crawled under a huge rock where there was a little cave, soooo, we literally had to belly crawl into the cave to get the babies! They were just hours old but healthy and safe. We can tell you for sure that mama is a pure bred but it's appears that there was more than one daddy involved here!. Being that they are at least 50% border Collie, they will be very smart and pretty high energy. Be sure to research the breed before you apply! Their birthday is 7/19/23 They won't be ready for transport till mid October PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION! ADOPTION FEE $650
