Border Collie puppies and dogs in Anacortes, Washington

**Fostered in Seattle, Washington and available for meet and greets and adoption** Cosmo Martini Shaken Not Stirred is the life of the party and the ultimate adventure buddy! Believed to be a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, this 4-month-old bundle of energy is thriving in his foster home. Nearly fully potty trained and crate trained (he can hang out for almost four hours with no issues), Cosmo is smart, wiggly, and full of "boing-boing" energy, as his foster mom puts it. He sleeps through the night in his crate without accidents and already knows how to sit. Cosmo has even gone to work with his foster mom, where he was an excellent supervisor—completely unfazed by forklifts and happy to take it all in stride. This little guy loves to sniff and explore outside, play tug, and collect all his toys in one giant pile like a true toy connoisseur. He’s already been to a farmers market, where he was a total social butterfly, especially with kids! Currently weighing around 15 pounds (or, as his foster mom says, "a heavy medium-sized grocery bag"), he’s been fostered in a busy household and does great with dogs. He’s also young enough to learn to live with cats. Cosmo is independent when needed—he can keep himself entertained in his crate with a toy or take a nap when the excitement dies down. He will thrive with an adopter committed to his continued training and socialization, and in return, he’ll be the best little sidekick for any and all adventures.

Meet Celeste Luna! She is currently 6 weeks old, and we think she may be a Border Collie / Pitbull mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! This puppy is from a part of the US where puppies are regularly euthanized. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place. Watch Celeste's video here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ChdyqYcTDyM Celeste is currently in a loving foster home. This sweet girl loves to play and explore. She has the softest fur, floppy ears, and enjoys all the cuddles. Celeste is still young so she will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Celeste's new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When old enough, they will be perfect to go on walks and hikes or show off around your neighborhood. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend!

Luna was adopted in Spokane Wa from a shelter four years ago. She is 7 now, technically a large dog at around 65lbs. She's very high energy, loves to cuddle and loves snacks. I'm having to rehome her because I am working too much and she's spending too much time in her crate. She would do well in a home with someone who is home more often and has a yard. She will also need some better leash training. She is a Border Collie Mix but her other breed is unknown

Story is a 6 year old spayed female lab/border collie mix. She weighs in at 68 lbs , and is up to date on all her vaccinations. Story is house broken, good with other dogs, but cats are unknown.  She is in a foster home now with two small dogs and one dog of her size and doing well.  Story is an even tempered girl, and likes snuggles and attention.   Story would like a fenced yard and daily walks, and enjoys basking in the sun.   If you think Story would be the girl for you please fill out an application with the Alternative Humane Society. ##2348858##

Meet Jack! This handsome fellow is just waiting to become your new best friend! Jack is a happy go lucky guy who is a joy to be around. Everyone who meets him says what a nice boy he is. Jack came in to the shelter initially as a stray, so we do not know much about his history. Based off his teeth condition, his age is estimated to be around 3-5. We also believe his breed is likely a Border Collie mix. He has gotten along with all staff, volunteers, visitors, and even other dogs! But we have noted that he does seem fearful of small children, so we advise that he doesn’t not go to a home with any kids under the age of 12. Along with this, Jack has a high prey drive and would do best in a home without small dogs/cats/other Jack loves to play with toys of all kinds and is really a blast to be around. He has soulful eyes that look up at you with all the love in the world. Jack is still learning leash skills, and while he isn’t much of a puller, he can get a bit jumpy when excited. It’s not all the time jumpy, he just seems convinced that he is a lap dog and not a dog who weighs 60 lbs. Jack is neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on current vaccines! If you are interested in giving Jack a place to call home, please fill out our adoption questionnaire on our main website at: https://hsjcwa.org/adopt-a-dog

FIRST STEPS: Please visit https://www.save-a-mutt.org/adoption-application/ to fill out an application - a Petfinder Inquiry is not the adoption process. We don't do meet and greets until applications have been approved. All our dogs are located IN Washington State - we are a local foster based rescue and no transport from another state required. :) Thanks! --- Meet Rosie!! She is all smiles AND brains. DNA confirmed her cattle dog nature, and this Border Collie / Heeler mix is looking for an active home with adventures planned. In her foster home, Rosie has become the Fun Ambassador! It's all about play play play, run run run. She's great with the many foster dogs that have come and gone while we worked with Rosie. To help get Rosie ready for a forever home, we reached out to a local trainer. I think her trainer said it best - "working with her genetics and drive will be the top priority for Rosie's forever home." Olive with Bark Trek LOVES the working breeds. Working with Bark Trek - Rosie was given direction and the work included building her confidence around new people and new places, giving her a solid foundation for basic obedience, games and toy structure, and making sure she knows how to wear a muzzle with comfort and pride. Did we mention - Rosie is a SUPER smart, super border collie. That being said, we are looking for a home that: A) has Border Collie / Cattle Dog experience. B) has patience to work with Rosie BOTH with and without a trainer C) understands the concept of 3/3/3 and that Rosie will need time to settle into her new forever home. D) has another friendly dog or two, Rosie LOVES her playmates. We are willing to do a foster to adopt to make sure her placement is a good fit for Rosie and her new family. Because of her herding play we are asking for no small kids (16+ preferred). Her foster home has cats and Rosie does the 'boop' thing - so dog savvy cats are OK. She is VERY responsive to verbal corrections - again - smart. She is an alert barker by breed - and an experienced cattle dog person will know that. She turned a year old in November and weighs under 45#. This dog is spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated. She is on pet insurance and was cleared orthopedically. The 3-3-3 rule is a guideline for transitioning a rescue dog into its new home and helping it to settle in. It suggests that the first three days should be used for adjusting to its new surroundings, the next three weeks for training and bonding, and the first three months for continued socialization and training. Each dog goes home with a goody bag including collar/leash, toys, chews, Kong, and more. You will receive all medical records, microchip transfer form and other paperwork at the time of adoption. Save-A-Mutt will require a training contract and $100 refundable deposit for this girl. You pick a trainer in your area, and upon completion of a 6+ week training class, we will refund the deposit. We can help you find a trainer. Adoptions typically take place in Marysville. Adoption fee is $375 + $100 refundable training deposit. Save-A-Mutt is a registered 501c3 and half of your adoption fee may be tax deductible. Save-A-Mutt is a foster based rescue, we do not have a facility to visit. Our adoptions are typically done Monday - Saturday, we are closed on Sunday’s to give our volunteers at least one day off. You must be available to do meets and adoptions during that time frame. We can make exceptions only with the approval of the foster home. Please note, we have approximately a 300 mile adoption radius - Portland OR area and Vancouver BC is the farthest north. We don’t ship dogs, once approved you must pick them up in Snohomish County, WA. Canadian adopters must be able to come to Stanwood WA to pick up your puppy.
