ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.  From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit.  If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent.

Hello. Our names are Nadia (F), Kinsey (F), Nathan (M), and Skeeter (F). Our rescuer was told our mom was a Belgian Malinois and dad was a Border Collie. We were born on July 8, 2023. We were turned over to the rescue lady when we were babies. There were eight of us. Not long after arriving, we started to get sick. We four were and are the healthiest. When we were out playing in the yard, she often asked us where the babies went, who was sweet and shy. Who switched them out of your energizer bunnies, then laughed as we ran around like crazy kids? We are brilliant, treat motivated (easy to train), sulk when scolded, crate trained, shy at first but warm up quickly, not house or leash trained (quick learners), like cats, submissive to other dogs, and have never been around children. Our foster mom has commented how wonderful we would be on an agility course.  I want to go hiking, go to the beach, run around on snow deeper than I am tall, curl up with you in front of the fireplace, and watch a movie. I have only heard my foster mom talking about most of this stuff. If you have patience and teach me, I will love doing whatever you do.

Meet Mazie Mae Mazie Mae is an extraordinary young dog with an even more extraordinary story. She was sadly dumped in a park in a rough neighborhood and survived on her own for about 10 days, thanks to a kind stranger who fed her. Though she was shy and scared at first, Mazie Mae has absolutely blossomed in foster care and is now a happy, loving, and playful girl who’s ready for her forever home.Mazie Mae is curious, intelligent, and loves to explore—very true to her Border Collie roots. She would thrive with an active person or family who enjoys long walks, hikes, or outdoor play. She especially loves rope toys, balls, and even empty plastic water bottles, which she proudly turns into her favorite toys!She is great with other dogs and greets them enthusiastically—no aggression at all—she just really wants to play. Another dog in the home would be wonderful as she loves to play and burn off energy, but any canine sibling should be active enough to keep up with her playful style. Mazie Mae has no aggression toward cats, but she is very curious and may chase if a cat runs, so slow introductions and supervision are recommended. Because of her energy and herding-breed tendencies, a home with children over six is best. Mazie Mae is crate trained and goes into her crate willingly, especially at mealtime. She is still working on house training and has made huge improvements, with no recent accidents in the home. She is learning how to signal when she needs to go out and continues to get better every day.Because she can jump and climb a 6 foot fence , Mazie Mae will need a very tall fence and supervised outdoor time .Mazie Mae has no food or treat aggression toward people, but she can be a little protective of treats around other dogs. Supervised separate treat times/rewards will be needed. Overall, Mazie Mae is a loving, resilient, joyful dog who has overcome so much and still greets life with a wagging tail and a playful heart. She would be an incredible addition to the right home—one that will give her the love, structure, and activity she deserves. Mazie Mae is ready to give her whole heart to someone willing to give her a chance.Name: Mazie maeBreed: Border Collie/American Staffordshire TerrierSex: FemaleAge: 11 monthsWeight: 42.0Spayed/Neutered: Too young - Spay/Neuter Contract will be required and strictly enforced.Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date.

Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary.

Meet Sheesh, a one-year-old pup whose unique personality perplexed her foster mom until she received the breed results — border collie and Labrador retriever!  Sheesh’s hobbies are all lab. She loves playing fetch and brings the ball back consistently.  Sheesh also loves water and will go towards any source of water, whether it’s coming from a sprinkler in the neighborhood or running in a creek. She loves being outside in the rain and isn’t afraid of getting all wet. She’s so calm and easy during baths that her foster mom still bathes her in the kitchen sink even though she’s much too big for it now at 45 lbs full grown.  The border collie in Sheesh is also very apparent in how intelligent and obedient she is. Sheesh follows instructions without the need for a treat. She’ll come when you call her name and go to her crate when told to. She’s very smart and learns new skills quickly. She also has some herding tendencies and can get very focused on things like a squirrel in the yard. She’s of course energetic, but does take plenty of naps throughout the day.  Sheesh will do best in an active home with owners who want to take her on long morning walks. Sheesh loves her walks, but she can get a little too excited by other excitable dogs she encounters. She will need someone willing to work with her on this, possibly with a trainer’s help. Sheesh is very redirectable and responsive if the person walking her knows what to do.  Sheesh has been in her foster home since July 2024 and is fully potty trained, crate trained and has zero separation anxiety. She’s super friendly, happy and loving, and is friends with all the dogs in her foster home. There’s not a mean bone in her body. She even shows remarkable patience with small puppies, letting them climb all over her and chew on her beautiful, fluffy tail. Although she’s not perfect, Sheesh is a special young dog who will bring great joy to her forever family.”
