Story
Meet Zoe Zoe is a beautiful 4-month-old Aussie/Border Collie. She's as gorgeous on the inside as she is on the outside. Zoe has a sweet personality that's a blend of confidence and shyness. Loud or unfamiliar noises can make her a little unsure, and she sometimes seeks out cozy hiding spots like a clothes basket or underneath a chair on the porch until she feels comfortable. But when she's out in the yard playing with other dogs, you'll see her confident, playful side shine. This affectionate little girl loves to cuddle and be close to her people. She just needs a patient family willing to give her the time and encouragement to build confidence on her own as she grows beyond her dependence on her siblings. Once she feels safe, her loving personality really begins to blossom. Zoe is very treat motivated, making training fun and rewarding. She does well in her crate, and is making great progress with potty training, although she still has the occasional accident—as expected for a puppy her age. She's not much of a barker and will need continued leash training as she learns about the world. With a little patience and a lot of love, Zoe is going to grow into a gorgeous, devoted companion who will reward her family with endless affection and loyalty. She's ready to find the forever home where she can truly bloom.

Story
Meet Pip! Pip is a stunning 4-month-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix with a soft, fluffy coat and a heart that's every bit as beautiful as her looks. This sweet girl has a gentle personality that's a wonderful mix of playful curiosity and quiet sensitivity. New or unexpected noises can make her a little cautious, and she may retreat to a favorite safe spot—like a laundry basket or under a porch chair—until she feels comfortable again. Once she's relaxed, though, her fun-loving side comes to life as she happily romps around the yard with other dogs. Pip is incredibly affectionate and loves spending time with her people. She enjoys snuggling close and soaking up attention, but she'll thrive with a family that understands she may need a little extra time and reassurance as she learns to navigate the world on her own. As her confidence grows, so does her sweet, loving personality. Smart and eager to please, Pip is highly motivated by treats, making her a great candidate for continued training. She settles nicely in her crate and is doing very well with potty and house training.  She's generally quiet, isn't much of a barker, and is just beginning to learn good leash manners. Pip is looking for a patient, loving family that will help her continue building confidence while celebrating all the wonderful qualities she already has. In return, she'll become a loyal, devoted companion who will fill your home with love, laughter, and plenty of puppy cuddles. If you're looking for a best friend to grow up alongside your family, Pip may be the perfect match.

Story
Baby is an 8 1/2 year old (as of Aug 2026) border collie mix. Her owner, a close friend of mine, passed away unexpectedly, so I took her in. Unfortunately, I have several other dogs, and Baby has shown signs of aggression towards other animals, especially around food. She needs a home where she is the only pet, no other dogs, cats, or other free-roaming house pets. Overall though, she has a wonderful personality. Very obedient and so sweet, she’s always grinning and loves attention! She gets so excited when I come home or when guests come over. She’s amazing with people, children and adults, and has never shown any signs of aggression towards a human. She takes Zenrelia daily to manage skin allergies, but aside from that she is a very healthy dog and will surely brighten up your home with her smile!

Story
Shellie was abandoned by owner at a boarding facility heartworm positive and unspayed. She has since then been spayed and treated for heartworms and recently tested negative. She is a velcrongirl who loves to ride with her person. She would be best suited as an only dog as she has recently become selective about other furfriends this is a recent change in her and thought to probably be from over stimulation as so many dogs coming in. SHELLIE will be the best sidekick anyone could ask for. If youre looking for a running buddy or ride along she is the perfect convenient size as a travel companion. Shellie is house trained and crate trained and loves indoors and outside time.

Story
Nevaeh is a sweet, loving, 8 year old Border Collie/Dutch Shepherd that we are unfortunately having to rehome due to moving from a house to a rental. She is picky with other dogs but coexists peacefully with cats (she's lived with 4 cats for years). Even though she is 8, she is still highly energetic and loves to have her time outside. Nevaeh would do best as a single dog due to her selectiveness with other dogs. She is good with older kids but not completely sure how she would do with young infants and toddlers. She is a loving companion who will be there for you when you're upset and will always put a smile on your face.
