Border Collie puppies and dogs in Mount Vernon, Washington

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 Thorne from the Witchy litter! His siblings were adopted a couple months ago - and while the litter started off shy, they quickly adjusted and found homes. Thorne however stayed a bit concerned and retreated when new people showed up in his foster home. A switch to a different foster home started him down the road of training and outings. He got the hang of a leash and riding in a car. His foster took him out to experience new things. Thorne saw lots of improvement... and once he knows you as part of his circle, he is sweet and silly and a good boy. We moved him again to the puppy coordinator's home to figure out a few last issues. We learned that he's just a boy who needs to build his confidence. Again, after just a day in his new foster home - once he know all the people living there, he was 'all in.' He loves the resident dogs - and even learned what a cat is! Thorne is beautiful, and so soft. He's having a growth spurt, and is all legs. The DNA has 21 different breeds. Thorne was the largest in the litter so we are guessing he will be in the 60-70# range when fully grown. We hope his little white forehead blaze never disappears - it's adorable. We think another friendly dog in the home would be great to help with the transition to his new life. From the beginning, we knew he was smart. In his first foster home, he used a bell to go outside. In his second, he learned sit and knows touch, shake and down. He is completely crate trained, at night and during the day. Housebreaking is going great. Any accidents have been the fault of his foster mom - not recognizing he needs to go out - and those have been few. He will need a PATIENT home that is prepared to continue working with him. New people are his challenge - so taking him on adventures to get over his fear of new people will be important. Because of his current 'fraidy cat' nature - we think a home with older kids is best, or an adult only home. Again, another friendly dog is a must. This puppy is neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated. 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 area. Adoption fee is $475. 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.

This cutie is Cream Puff. She is currently 2 months old and weighs approximately 8lbs. We think they may be a border collie/ Australian Shepard mix, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place. Watch Cream Puff’s playful personality here: https://youtu.be/eONmEGF4N5w?si=SnjARUCoETxUljRa Cream puff is playful, sweet, curious, and cuddly.She loves to play with her siblings and take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat- such is puppy life! We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Cream puff is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving at their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well-rounded adult dog. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
