Story

Looking for a dog who's just as excited about a Saturday morning hike as she is about relaxing at your feet afterward? Meet JoJo!This girl pup is an 8-month-old Border Collie mix with striking black-and-white markings and an even more beautiful personality. At 29 pounds, she's expected to grow to around 40 pounds—a wonderful medium size that's ready to jump into the car whenever adventure calls.Her story started with hope when she and her identical sister were adopted as young puppies. Sadly, their family realized they simply didn't have enough time to meet the girls' needs, so JoJo is getting a second chance to find a home where she can truly thrive. She is a wonderful blend of playful and easygoing. She loves kids, enjoys other dogs, and is always up for exploring somewhere new. She hasn't been introduced to cats yet, and while she and her sister have had a little too much fun chasing chickens together, we suspect that without her partner-in-crime, she may be much more interested in staying close to her people than stirring up barnyard trouble!As a Border Collie mix, JoJo is smart, athletic, and happiest when life includes activity. Daily walks, games in a fenced yard, hiking, camping, trips to the park, or learning new skills will help her shine. She'd likely have a blast trying agility, flyball, or dock diving alongside her future family.What this girl wants most isn't perfection. She wants someone who sees her as part of the family—a dog who gets to tag along on errands, explore new places, celebrate life's little moments, and always have a place to call home.If you've been thinking your life could use a little more laughter, a walking buddy, a travel companion, and a loyal best friend, JoJo might be exactly who you've been waiting for.

Story

Konrad is a one year old, handsome, smooth-coated family-friendly, dog-friendly, easy going, playful purebred Border Collie looking for his chance to find a forever home. He was born on a farm, given away, then abandoned. Despite Konrad's bumpy start to life he retained an incredibly sweet and trusting personality - he loves both people and dogs. He currently enjoys life with three canine (two Border Collies and a German Shepherd) companions who are showing him the ropes and what it's like to be a cherished part of a family. He especially enjoys playing with his Border Collies buddies! At his foster home he is experiencing the good life and quickly learning the joys of being a dog, a companion and a family member. He's beginning to understand the joys of fetch, enjoys interacting with people, and has a playful, fun-loving personality. One of his adorable quirks is that he likes to gently nibble at you when you're preparing his meals or first waking up in the morning—a sweet, if slightly goofy, way of saying he's happy to see you. Konrad is highly intelligent and eager to learn, making steady progress on crate and house training. He also walks nicely on a leash and rides well in the car. He hasn't shown sensitivity to loud noises or thunderstorms. When working with Konrad, he responds best to sensitive verbal corrections and calm leadership. As is typical of many Border Collies, Konrad is intensely attracted to small animals that he can chase, a trait that comes from his herding instincts. With Konrad on patrol, your yard will quickly become squirrel-free! But, because of this drive, he is not a good match for a home with small pets such as rabbits, gerbils, or other pocket pets, and he is not suitable for a home with cats. He will also require a securely fenced yard with a 5–6 foot fence. This young boy will need an active lifestyle, a home with a large fenced yard, and people willing to provide him with plenty of exercise, continued training, and fun mental stimulation. If you're ready to do this, Konrad promises you'll get a loyal, affectionate, and entertaining companion. Konrad is neutered, utd on vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, negative for heartworm and on monthly preventatives and in flea meds. He is being fostered by the Atlantic Region Central Border Collie Rescue in Newport News, Virginia. If you would like more information about Konrad you can email mcclellanka@gmail.com. If interested in adopting Konrad please submit an adoption application at www.arcbcr.org

Story

Leo is a healthy 9-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix looking for an active home. We adopted him as a puppy in 2017 — he's been the best dog, but our lives have changed with young kids and he deserves more time and exercise than we can give him.He's a velcro dog in the best way. Off-leash he's a star: stays close, scouts ahead on trails, checks in constantly, comes immediately when called. Fully house-trained, crate-trained, good on a leash. Smart, attentive, easy to live with.Great with kids (lives with ours) and friendly with other dogs. Heads up: he has a herding dog's natural nipping instinct. His favorite thing is chasing his blue ball — he'll do it for hours. He'd thrive with an active adult, retiree, runner, or hiker who's been wanting a working-breed companion without the puppy years.Up to date on shots, neutered, microchipped, no health issues. Message us — happy to talk, share vet records, and set up a meet-and-greet.

PICKETT Pickett was born in 2015. He is about 45 pounds, mostly black. He is a mystery mix. LOVES EVERYONE! He gets along with all people - he's a hugger and kisser Loves other dogs - moderately playful. He does try to hump the first time meeting, but is easily corrected. Loves cats. Great on the leash. And in the car. He's not young, but has tons of puppy like energy. LOVES toys and bones. Good house manners. HOWEVER, when unsupervised he should be crated or he may chew inappropriately. He was with a rescue for the last seven years and was never chosen somehow - despite his super friendly adorable personality. That rescue closed, he went to a local shelter, and knowing him personally, I had to bring him here HE DESERVES A WONDERFUL HOME. He's a hoot!
