Story

Animal Profile: Buddy is a 4.5-year-old Doodle (1/2 Border Collie 1/2 Standard Poodle). He was purchased from a breeder prior to his owners having children. Buddy is a friendly but slightly anxious guy who has not adjusted well to having a toddler in the home. His family invested in a 4-week board and train with a local dog trainer in hopes that it would help Buddy feel more comfortable around small toddlers. Buddy completed his training; he has excellent house and leash manners, is house trained, crate trained; and knows the ‘place’ command. Unfortunately he was still too uncomfortable around the kids after training, and his family decided it was best to find him a new home. Buddy has been trained using balanced methods, including e collar for off leash reliability. Buddy does great at doggy daycare, but does have some resource guarding around food and select toys when it comes to other dogs. While he enjoys his dog friends, we think he’d be happiest as an only dog. Buddy has not lived with cats. Buddy is currently in foster care with a balanced trainer, and doing well. Foster Update: coming soon! Adoption Info: The adoption fee is $550 which includes his neuter, core vaccinations, DPPV, Bordetella, microchip, and recent health check with a veterinarian.

Story

FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED! Say hello to Bosco! He is a ~4 yo, 60lb, Border Collie/Akita mix. (Our best guess to his breeds, but he could have other breeds as well!) Bosco came to us from CA, in search of his forever family. While we are still getting to know Bosco, so far, he has been is a loving and sweet boy. He has been friendly to all people he meets, and enjoys affection! He is smart and loves treats, which makes training fun and engaging. Overall, he is a happy boy that will enjoy a family that is active with him, spoils him with love, and can continue basic training to help him grow into the best dog he can be! Bosco is active and loves going for walks and being outdoors, he would make a great adventure companion! We are still getting to know Bosco’s behavior with other dogs. He has done well with some dogs (usually calmer females), but some high energy/dominant males can make him a little nervous. He will do great in a home that can continue to help him decompress, as the kennel environment can greatly affect stress and how dogs interact with other dogs. Bosco can be an escape artist, and should have a secure yard in his forever home, and while getting to know him, should not be left outdoors alone. He just wants to be with his people! Who can blame him? Bosco is UTD on shots, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $500.

Story

FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED Meet Nanook! Nanook is a 6-year-old, 48 lb Border Collie/McNab who came to us from an overcrowded shelter. This handsome boy is sweet, smart, and friendly, with a balance of maturity and adventure! Nanook enjoys spending time with both people and other dogs and has a happy, affectionate personality. As a herder, he’s intelligent and eager to engage with his people, making him a great companion for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle and wants a dog to share it with. He loves getting out for daily walks, hikes, and exploring the outdoors. Nanook is still working on his leash manners and can be a strong walker at times, especially if he spots a squirrel or bunny that catches his attention. He’ll benefit from a confident handler who can continue reinforcing good leash skills and provide him with regular exercise and mental enrichment. Having come from a more rural environment, Nanook would likely be happiest in a home outside the hustle and bustle of the city, where he can enjoy peaceful walks, open spaces, and a more relaxed pace of life. If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent companion who is ready for walks, adventures, and plenty of quality time with his people, Nanook could be the perfect addition to your family. He’s ready to trade shelter life for a forever home where he can continue to thrive! Nanook is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $500.

Story

FOREVER HOME NEEDED Meet Zydeco! Zydeco is a 1-year-old, 40 lb Border Collie/Shepherd mix who came to us as a stray from an overcrowded shelter. This handsome boy is sweet, goofy, spunky, and absolutely full of energy! He’s an athletic young dog who is ready to find a family that can keep up with him and help him become the best version of himself. Zydeco is incredibly smart and can go a long way with the right training. He’s eager to learn and would thrive with someone who enjoys working with their dog and is ready to continue building his obedience, impulse control, and manners. He walks well on leash overall, although he can be strong when something exciting catches his attention—especially squirrels! He can also still be mouthy and barky when excited, so he’ll need a confident handler who understands energetic, working-type dogs and is willing to put in the time and consistency he needs. This boy is looking for an active lifestyle. Hiking, running, long walks, outdoor adventures, training sessions, and plenty of mental enrichment would all be right up Zydeco’s alley. He needs a home that will keep both his body and his brain busy and give him appropriate outlets for all that young-dog energy. Zydeco does well with other dogs and loves to play, although he can be a bit bossy with his canine friends. He would love a well-matched dog in the home who can keep up with him, provide a playmate, and help him continue developing his social skills. His future family should be committed to keeping him well-socialized and helping him learn appropriate ways to interact with the world around him. Zydeco is a lot of fun, but he is also a young, high-energy dog who will need structure, consistency, exercise, and continued training. In the right hands, we think this smart, athletic boy has tons of potential! If you’re looking for an adventure buddy who is ready to learn, explore, play, and keep you on your toes, Zydeco might just be your guy! Zydeco is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $550.

Requires: -Herding breed experienced home -Large fenced yard outside the city -Another playful dog in the home her size or larger Keira is a 2 year old, 50lb Border Collie who is looking for her perfect home. She takes a while to trust, but is loyal to her people once she does. Keira is fearful of people and does not easily trust. She can be skittish and is a flight risk if not contained properly. She will build trust with her people after a period of time spent together and trust building, but she is not a ‘people’ dog with new people. She is definitely a dog's dog. She prefers to be with her dog friends and spends her days out in a play yard with 5-7 other dogs. Keira will need a home that understands and is ok with the fact she is not a super lovey dog that will want human attention all the time. Keira will do best in an adult only home that is patient in building her trust and ok with her being aloof and doing her own thing at times. She is well mannered and does great hanging out in a fenced yard with her dog friends. She is super active and loves to run around in her current large play yard with other dogs. Keira will thrive in a home with a large fenced yard outside of the city. She is not an apartment/condo/townhome dog. Keira requires at least one other dog around her size in the home, and herding breed experience. She would thrive in a more rural setting with a large fenced yard. Keira is UTD on shots, spayed, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $400.
