Story
Lilah is a sweet, energetic, angel of a dog. She is so kind and loving and has never met a person or animal she doesn’t like. She has lots and lots of energy and will cuddle up in your lap after a long day of running around. She has been a wonderful dog. While with us, she’s never had any health issues, has never been mean and has met everyone who’s entered our home with lots of love. The reason we’re looking to rehome her is due to my wife’s health complications. Shes been in a long journey of complicated and difficult health issues. When we first got Lilah, they weren’t nearly as bad as they have gotten now. We do not have the ability to give Lilah the attention and love she deserves and it has been difficult for my wife to navigate with an energetic dog, as sweet as she is. Rehoming her really seems to be the best thing for all parties. But we are very particular with the home she goes to. We want to make sure it is right for everyone involved.

These Border Collies are available for adoption close to McKinney, Texas.

Story
This boy should be on the big screen with his wonderfully unique markings! Young and energetic, Domino is approximately one year old, tiny at 19 lbs, neutered, vaccinated, and healthy. He is always ready to play, run, and jump. He loves to go on walks and is learning behavior cues from his gentle leader, but he still has a little work to do when he sees other dogs. Domino is a vocal dog; he sings the song of his people with growls, howls, and barks! He does not like to be left alone for too long. Maybe he has a future career on American Idol? He will be your velcro dog and snuggle with you while you sleep, watch TV, or work. He is learning how to use his off switch and is crate trained. His foster family is also working through basic commands like sit and stay, and Domino will just need continued reinforcement. Domino would thrive in a home where he would get a lot of attention, be the only dog, and would be best for older children. He does get along with other dogs well, but he would need a dog to match his puppy energy. Domino is best fed away from his furry friends. Also, Domino like to play outside and will need a solid and secure fence as any open fence would allow him to fit through. He is a Houdini; smart, agile, curious, and ready to GO!

Story
Olive - Female - 1.5 yrs old - 40 lbs Meet Olive (or Olive Oil) — a playful, affectionate pup with a heart full of love and a personality that keeps things exciting. She is 1.5 years old, healthy, spayed, up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Olive is still very much in her fun-loving, curious stage. She absolutely thrives with canine companionship and would do best in a home with another dog. Her bond with her dog sibling has helped her build confidence, and she looks to her furry friends for comfort, play, and guidance. Olive’s hobbies include playing with toys, conducting very serious bug investigations…which sometimes end in snacks. She brings a steady stream of entertainment wherever she goes and has a knack for making ordinary moments feel a lot more fun. She’s reliably house trained and crate trained, so she already has the important stuff down. Olive is currently working on commands like “sit,” and while she’s getting there, she sometimes gets a little too excited about life to remember her manners—especially on walks. Other dogs? People? Potential new best friends? Amazing!! She’ll just need some continued guidance to help channel that enthusiasm into polite greetings. The car can be a bit spooky for Olive, but she’s much braver when she has her dog sibling by her side—moral support is everything. With patience and encouragement, she’s gaining confidence more every day. Olive is looking for a home that will embrace her playful spirit, continue her training, and give her the companionship she truly needs. In return, she promises plenty of laughs, unconditional love, and possibly fewer bugs in your yard. Please apply to adopt at bcrrt.com.

Story
Sydney is a 3 year old, 30 pound, spayed, healthy, athletic, SMART, fun Mini Aussie/Border Collie mix (with a few other herding breeds thrown in). She will bring a tennis ball to you many times a day to ensure your throwing arm stays in superior shape! She will follow you everywhere, make sure you know when it’s meal time, and, though comfortable sleeping through the night in a crate, enjoys the foot of your bed even more. Sydney’s best life will be as an only dog and she brings enough fun that you don’t even need another dog to keep you laughing and enjoying her sparkle. She is best in a home with no young children or small animals (that herding instinct is strong!). A large yard, big enough for long throw tennis ball fetch, frisbee, or even some agility equipment would be perfect for her. She has no experience with a pool, but odds are she would love that, too! Treat motivated, she loves to learn (currently learning to pick up her balls and toys, and place them where indicated, with a “Tidy Up” cue). Want a trick dog or pup eager to learn how to be your best companion? She’s your girl! Apply to adopt at bcrrt.com

Story
Harley ~1 year few months. Male. 55 lbs. Friendly with other dogs. Good with kids. Way too curious about cats! Since you're reading this, you're obviously looking for a new best friend, hey, so am I! I don't care how old you are or what you look like, but in case those things matter to you, that's me, the hunky guy in the pictures, with the silky, soft fur and soulful eyes. My Foster Mom thinks I am a Border Collie and Great Pyrenees cross. My perfect match would be someone who loves giving me tummy rubs and snuggles and wants to spoil me rotten, never leaving my side. I don't mean to brag, but people tell me I'm a lot like Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson as everyone is my family, I am funny, could be a great action star, and... I'm BIG and a softie at heart! When I'm not admiring your every move, I love toys and romping around the yard. So, what do you say? Wanna be besties? That pretty much sums up Mr. Harley. He is everybody's best friend and thinks he is a 55 lb lap dog. But don't let that fool you, he is still very much an energetic puppy in his behavior. He is a big goofy dog with so much personality. He has BC smarts with the Great Pyr soft and loving nature. Harley was found as a stray in OK and he does need a well maintained tall fence, as he is a free spirit and finds many things way too interesting and he easily jumps a 4' fence. Harley takes to training easily. He is food and toy motivated and will need to continue his manners work. He may be rough around the edges, but has SO much potential. Harley is currently located in the DFW area. For questions about Harley or to apply, contact us through bcrrt.com.

Story
Velcro Companion: Captain Hook is looking for a co-pilot for life. He is a five-year old and 55 pounds, neutered, up to date on vaccinations and preventatives, and healthy. He is good with people, dogs, loves kids, is curious about cats (but has never lived with one). A devoted buddy who promises to follow you from room to room, just to make sure you are okay. With soulful eyes and a gentle demeanor Hook has never met a stranger. He greets everyone with a slow way and a gentle nudge for pets. He never barks, but makes guttural sound when he is happy or hungry. Does not pull on lead when walking and will also follow you wherever you walk or jog. Hook is a bubbly guy and always ready for a walk. He does get car sick ... so don’t feed him before transport. He slobbers a lot in the car, probably thinks he will be left. Hook lost his original Dad when he died and feels secure in a kennel. He often retreats to his kennel during the day. He uses a doggie door. He is afraid of storms so kennel him during thunder or fireworks. He is smart.... learned doggie door in one day. Does not climb on furniture, but wants to be a lap dog on the floor. Beautiful blue and brown eyed he has not had toys before. He now tosses them and carries them outside and doesn’t return them, but I think that is trainable. Basically, low-maintenance and high-affection. He is perfect!!!

Story
This 1.5-year-old Border Collie mix is as sweet as she is beautiful, with a sleek sable coat and a loving personality. Spayed, chipped, hw negative, up to date on shots. 45 lbs​​​​​​​. She’s friendly with people of all ages, affectionate, and loves being close to her humans. Although she loves getting hugs and will lean against you, she is not overly needy and will happily find her own spot to chill. She enjoys meeting new people and has a fun, playful, puppy-like energy. Like many young dogs, she enjoys chewing, so she’ll do best with plenty of appropriate toys and guidance. She can be a little timid in new places or unfamiliar situations, so she’s looking for a patient adopter who will help her build confidence at her own pace using lots of love and positive reinforcement. Once she feels safe, her sweet and loving nature really shines. She is house- and crate-trained and is still learning to walk on a leash. Because she is very focused on small animals in the yard, she would likely do best in a home without cats. A confident dog sibling in the household would be a plus. Please fill out an application to adopt at bcrrt.com.

These pups are in McKinney, Texas too!

Story
Margot and her sister were picked up as strays. Luckily, someone found them before they starved or were killed. She and her sister, Amber, have been together their entire lives, so we would love to see them adopted together, if possible.Both girls are athletic, but Margot so much that she can jump and climb over the fences at her foster home to go where she pleases. Luckily, she stays on her property and goes into different areas to play with the other dogs or her foster family. Her foster has not worked on trying to keep her contained, but this would be a concern until she could adjust to her new home; she does have excellent recall. We have a portable containment system to send with her for someone willing to work with that training.Margot lives with lots of other dogs and gets along with everyone, including the livestock rescues. She has good house manners, is crate trained, and is working on walking on a leash.She is fully vetted - current with vaccines, spayed, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartwormprevention.
