Border Collie puppies and dogs in Bellingham, Washington

Freckles across his nose, a little black “Batman mask,” happy tippy-taps when he’s excited, and a heart that clearly wants to belong… this is Holliday. Equal parts goofy charm and affectionate shadow, Holliday is the kind of dog who leans all the way into love. His biggest dream? A couch, a person, and permission to pretend he’s a lap dog. Want to see those adorable tippy taps and that little masked face in action? Head over to YouTube and then come right back to learn more about the boy who believes every good day should include affection, snacks, and a welcoming lap to climb into. https://youtu.be/lPFbycVn8XA Holliday is estimated to be about 2 years old and appears to be a Border Collie mix but given he is a rescue, breed and birthday cannot be guaranteed. From the moment you meet him, Holliday’s affectionate nature is easy to see. He absolutely lights up when people give him attention and has a charming little habit of doing “tippy taps” with his feet when he’s happy or excited. It’s the kind of happy motion that makes everyone around him smile whether they are meeting for the first time or its a familiar connection. And inside its only sweeter, he is affectionate and his aspirations for lap-dog life really shine. Holliday is more than happy to make the first move and will come in close to soak up the love and lean in for a new nestling nose kisses. He is still learning some of the everyday things that come with the cozy life as a family dog. For example, couches were a new concept to him. When invited up, he wasn’t quite sure how to get there at first and needed a little boost. Moments like that tell us he’s likely still discovering what a comfortable home life looks like. The good news is that he’s eager to connect with people, smart and very responsive to guidance, which makes him a wonderful boy to open your heart and home to. On leash, Holliday is enthusiastic and currently pulls a bit, especially when he sees other dogs he’d like to meet. Much of his life before rescue life was spent on a very short leash outdoors so the world is understandably very exciting to him right now. With a confident understanding handler he has been making great progress with continued leash training. He is also very responsive to direction, correction, and listens well when told “no.” With other dogs, Holliday shows friendly curiosity. When meeting dogs he likes to sniff hello and then wander off to explore the yard. Play is still a bit of a mystery to him, but with the right dog companion we have seen he learns quickly and is easily invited to play even if she doesn’t know the steps after that. When meeting new dogs he reads them well and respects boundaries and limits easily. We can see him being a wonderful fit for a home with medium-energy, similarly sized dogs. Holliday is also very food motivated, which is wonderful for training. He eats enthusiastically and takes treats gently. Because Holliday can be a little jumpy, which he is working on, when he’s excited to receive affection, we think he’ll do best in a home with older kids who won’t be knocked over by his enthusiastic greetings. His affection truly comes from a joyful place and is gentle, not rough or heavy footed. He just hasn’t quite learned yet that hugs don’t always have to involve all four feet leaving the ground, but some people do enjoy those big, warm dog hugs. A home with a yard would be ideal for Holliday while he continues building his leash skills, giving him space to stretch his legs and explore safely. With time, guidance, and a loving environment, we think this freckled little masked hero is going to blossom into a wonderful, lap-loving, whole-new-world companion and sidekick. If you’re looking for a dog who will greet you with tippy taps, shower you with affection, and happily grow alongside you as he learns what family life is all about, Holliday is your guy!

If you’ve heard the expression “personality plus” it was no doubt in reference to Robin. He’s sweet, cuddly, and loyal. Whether he’s proudly adding to his daily stick collection or inventing a new game, he brings an effortless charm to everything he does. Loves playing with his people: fetch, puzzles, you name it. Whip-smart, eager to learn, and motivated to please. Mastered basic obedience skills, crate trained, and walks nicely on leash after the excitement of the outing wears off a bit. Robin is a 2 yr old, 60# Black Lab/Border Collie mix who is, quite simply, a total goober. Goofy, expressive, naturally funny, and always ready to brighten the room with his antics. His family loves him deeply, but after a recent move and human health challenges, they have made the heartbreaking decision to find him a home better suited to his needs. The family lucky enough to add Robin to their lives will gain an incredible companion with so much to offer. He is located in Bellingham, Washington (less than 90 min from Seattle). If you’re an outdoorsy soul, Robin is your perfect match. He’s an adventure buddy with plenty of energy for hikes, camping, and weekend exploring. Daily exercise is the way to his heart, and an occasional bigger excursion is icing on the cake. When activity winds down, he’s ready to enjoy cuddle time with his favorite people. Robin is a fit for families with older kids and has lived with cats in the past. He gets along well with other dogs and would love a canine companion in his new home or could be an only dog. Find a video mashup of his adventures at https://youtu.be/ZBva0eIoGMU Robin’s health is managed through a hydrolyzed protein diet to keep his sensitive tummy stable. He takes seizure-prevention medication for episodes that occur roughly twice per year. The total cost for his specialized food and medication is about $180/mo, which is certainly a consideration for his new family. The return on investment is incalculable: it’s the reward of sharing life with an extraordinary dog. If you’re looking for a bright, affectionate, endlessly entertaining companion, Robin may just be the perfect addition to your family. He can’t wait to bring laughter, love, and lots of his precious sticks into his new home. APPLY TO ADOPT this handsome lad at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Heart of a Border Collie will be screening applications for Robin. His adoption will be a private transaction between his existing and new families. A rehoming fee may be negotiated. Robin was adopted from Heart of a Border Collie in Minnesota as a puppy, and his family has now moved to the Seattle area where we hope to work with his family and help him find a new home.

She came from a farm we simply don't have the resources to take care for a Blue heeler border Collie mix. I would love for her to go to a good family that will take her on long walks and let her run around

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 June. She and her brother came to us as bottle babies. She was born March 2nd and is in the 28# range at 13 weeks. Being a bottle baby - she has been very socialized. Her first foster had a toddler, other dogs. At 6 weeks, she went to a foster whose very friendly orange cat became a constant companion to the pair. After her brother was recently adopted, she went to a different foster home to learn crate training (doing great) and all the puppy things. She's even walking on a leash around their property. If you're looking for a stunning puppy who is equal parts adventure buddy and snuggle bug, June might just be your perfect match! June is a smart, affectionate Malinois mix puppy - she absolutely loves being held and will curl up in your lap whenever she gets the chance. This girl is bright, curious, and always eager to learn something new. We think June will thrive in an active home that can keep both her body and mind busy. Unlike your typical Mal mix, she does not have that crazy energy one would expect. It could be because she has 13 other breeds in her DNA. At 13 weeks old, she's already showing signs of being a quick learner and would excel with opportunities to use her brain. Whether it's hiking, training classes, or backyard adventures, June is ready to be your enthusiastic sidekick. June is looking for a family that understands smart puppies grow into amazing dogs when given the exercise and love they need. If you're ready for a best friend who can keep up with your adventures and then snuggle on the couch afterward, June is ready to meet you! Being part Malinois, we are looking for homes that have previous GSD or similar experience. She is spayed, microchipped and vaccinated to appropriate age. She will need more puppy shots, including rabies when she's 16 weeks. Puppies are good with dogs, cats, kids and more. Being a puppy, they will need lots of training, including housebreaking. Remember, puppies are cute, but they have sharp teeth, need to be fed 3 times a day and poop... a lot! 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. Adoptions typically take place in Stanwood.Adoption fee is $525. 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 Sundays 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 dont 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.

Little, fluffy, and ridiculously cute, Moonpie is the kind of dog that makes you do a double take. With her soft, fluffy ears that look like they belong on a little Furby doll and her fun, sweet personality, she’s basically a walking bundle of happiness. She has that playful, spunky side that makes life more fun, paired perfectly with a gentle, affectionate nature that just wants to be close to her people. Moonpie is little, lovable, and full of charm. The kind of dog who turns everyday moments into something sweeter just by being there. Watch her video and fall in love with her personality: https://youtu.be/bJjxxPcgNrg?si=A-K6IoMg2rWPw879 Moonpie is believed to be a cattle dog mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 34 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue dog, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Moonpie is very dog friendly and she has done great with all the dogs we have introduced her to. She is respectful and patient with all different types of play styles, and tolerant with even the pushiest of dogs. Every now and then, she will give a correction if a dog is being rude or all up in her business for too long, but it is always fair. Moonpie is not overly playful with other dogs; she is more of the hangout and enjoy the nice weather type of girly. When Moonpie does play, she has a gentle and bouncy play style and from what we have seen, she seems to enjoy playtime with aloof, happy-go-lucky dogs. If you don't have other dogs, that's totally fine! Moonpie does not need the company of another dog to help her feel comfortable and open up. She is a happy and sweet little lady all on her own and we're sure she wouldn't mind being the center of your world. Moonpie has spent time around a cat and, while she can start off calmly, she ultimately finds cats a little too interesting and engaging. For this reason, we are recommending a home without cats. When it comes to training, Moonpie is a smart girly and treat motivated. She already knows some basic commands such as sit, is easy to walk on a leash, and she is crate and potty trained. Any future additional training you want to do with Moonpie will be so easy with her. She would be a great companion to have around if you work from home because she is quiet, has shown to have great house manners, and will just snuggle up on the couch and snooze while you get your work done. She would also be a great little adventure buddy as well. She loves to explore and is honestly just happy being anywhere as long as she is with you. We are willing to test Moonpie with anything you need in order to ensure it’s a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

If there was ever a dog that fully embodied the phrase “man’s best friend,” it’s Cash Bluey. This boy has that loyal, ride-or-die cattle dog personality that makes people absolutely obsessed with the breed. The kind of dog that just wants to be with his person, help you do whatever random task you’re doing, and proudly clock in for the day like he’s your full-time ranch hand even if you’re literally just carrying groceries inside LOL. Cash Bluey has the coolest personality too because while he’s incredibly smart and eager to please, he’s also sweet, grounded, and not over-the-top chaotic like some heelers can be. He has those classic expressive cattle dog ears that somehow manage to make every emotion on his face 10x funnier, the BEST smile, and this loyal soulful presence that makes you feel like you’ve had him your whole life after only a few days. Watch his video and prepare to become emotionally attached to this handsome cowboy: https://youtu.be/0dzm_YKJaBc?si=qQLgU8LQCWKoDnhg Cash Bluey is believed to be a cattle dog/blue heeler mix approximately 4 years old and currently weighs 46 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with rescue it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age, but this boy absolutely screams classic heeler personality in all the best ways. Cash is currently fostered in a multi-dog home with dogs of all different sizes and has done really well with all of them. His play style is honestly so funny and very “cattle dog coded” because he’s much more into the bob-and-weave, chase-me-if-you-can type of play rather than full contact wrestling matches LOL. If another dog invites him to play chase, he is ALL about it and looks like he’s having the best time zooming around the yard. But he also knows how to regulate himself really nicely and is great about taking breaks and settling back down too. What we’ve observed is that while Cash does well with dogs, he’s not really the type to instantly become best friends with every new dog he meets in unfamiliar environments. He appreciates respectful introductions and dogs that aren’t immediately all up in his face. Once he settles in though, he coexists beautifully and enjoys having canine companions around him. Cash also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. He did not chase Biggie, nor was he bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also felt comfortable around him as well. We do not know if he has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing him with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for Cash to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know! When it comes to people, Cash is very sweet but can be a tiny bit of a slow burn initially in brand new environments or busy situations. Nothing extreme at all, he just likes a second to observe what’s going on and get comfortable first. Once he settles in though, his loyal affectionate side really shines through. He genuinely just wants to make his people happy and seems happiest when he has a purpose, structure, and someone to follow around throughout the day. He’s the kind of dog that bonds deeply and becomes your little sidekick in everything you do. Cash is crate trained, potty trained, walks beautifully on leash, and honestly might even know how to walk in a heel already because he stays so naturally connected to his person while out and about. He already knows commands like sit and down, is extremely treat motivated, and is the type of smart eager-to-please dog that could absolutely learn all kinds of fun tricks and advanced training. Honestly, we would not be surprised at all if someone taught this boy how to dance LOL. He’s incredibly intelligent in that classic working dog kind of way where you can just see his brain constantly processing and learning. As much as Cash loves his people and does great with the dogs in his foster home, we really think his ideal environment would be somewhere calmer with space to breathe. He’s not really a “busy suburban neighborhood with nonstop stimulation and chaos” kind of dog. This boy would THRIVE out in the country, on land, or in a quieter home setting where he can enjoy open space, sniff around the property, help his person with chores, patrol the yard like the important ranch employee he believes he is, and then happily relax afterward. He truly seems happiest when life feels a little slower, calmer, and more grounded. Cash is the kind of dog that cattle dog lovers dream about. Smart, loyal, goofy, trainable, affectionate, and full of personality without being completely off-the-wall wild. If you’ve been looking for that loyal sidekick type of dog that wants to be your little shadow and your best buddy all rolled into one handsome speckled package… Cash might just be your guy.

Meet Hercules! If you’ve been searching for that once-in-a-lifetime dog who can be your adventure buddy, your cuddle buddy, your smartest student, and your most loyal best friend all wrapped into one adorable little package, we’d like to introduce you to Hercules. Hercules is about 2 years old, and we believe he may be an Australian Cattle Dog/terrier mix. Unlike what his mighty name might suggest, Hercules is actually the perfect compact size, tiny enough to fit comfortably in your lap but sturdy enough to keep up with all of life’s adventures. He’s basically travel-sized perfection. Click here to watch Hercules in action! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vru0Lr-lz9U&pp=0gcJCSgLAYcqIYzv&ra=m This sweet boy is the total package. He’s incredibly loving, wonderfully social, and has never met a person he didn’t want to be friends with. Hercules absolutely adores his people and forms strong bonds with those he loves. One of his cutest habits is gently pawing at you when you stop petting him, as if to politely remind you that your hand clearly belongs back on his head. He’ll even offer his paw on command because, yes, he’s a very smart boy. Speaking of smart, Hercules already knows “sit,” walks beautifully on leash, and has all the makings of a dog who genuinely enjoys learning. He’s attentive, eager to connect with his people, and carries himself with the quiet confidence of a dog who understands the assignment. When it comes to other dogs, Hercules is a superstar. He loves his foster siblings and spends his days rolling around, wrestling, and playing goofy belly-up games with them. Watching him play is guaranteed to make you smile. He has wonderful social skills and gets along beautifully with other dogs, making him a fantastic candidate for a multi-dog home. But while Hercules loves his dog friends, he’s not a wild maniac. He has that perfect balance of playful and easygoing. One minute he’s having fun with the pack, and the next he’s happily trotting alongside his favorite human or relaxing nearby while you go about your day. We would describe him as confident, friendly, and incredibly tolerant. He’s comfortable around people, greets dogs appropriately, handles new situations well, and seems happiest when he has both canine companions and a person to call his own. As for cats, we’d currently recommend a cat-free home. While he wasn’t aggressive, his cat test left us wanting more information, and we’d rather err on the side of caution until further testing can be completed. Hercules would likely thrive in a home with another friendly dog, a yard to explore, and people who appreciate a dog that wants to be involved in everyday life. He isn’t looking to be the center of attention every second of the day, he simply wants to be your loyal sidekick as you tackle life’s adventures together. At the end of the day, Hercules is one of those dogs that just feels easy. Easy to love. Easy to be around. Easy to imagine fitting right into your family. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow with a huge heart, a playful spirit, and the cutest paw-tap reminder that petting time isn’t over yet, Hercules may just be your perfect match.
