Story

We are Herman’s second family. His first owner was elderly and became ill, so could no longer care for him. We have had him for about three years but my husband was recently diagnosed with AML and will need a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately we will need to rehome Herman for my husband’s health and safety. He is an extremely intelligent and loving dog. He is a barker. On walks, he will bark at other dogs but we have found that crossing the street, getting him to sit and wait while talking to and petting his head helps to calm him down. Then he continues his walk just fine. We have two teenagers and one other dog (a lab) in the house that he does really well with. He also warms up to new people in the home quickly. To my knowledge he has not been around young children or cats, so not sure how he would do. He does not play with toys but loves chewing on his bones. He is crate trained, but just hasn’t used one in a couple of years.

Story

Bonnie is a 6 year old, 42 pound Border Collie mix. She's a gentle soul with a mellow temperament. She loves to go for walks. She currently walks twice a day for a total of 2 to 3 hours everyday. She c an be dog friendly if introduced slowly to other dogs who are very dog friendly. Bonnie is always eager to make new friends, and her intelligence shines through in her quick learning of new tricks. Bonnie, like many dogs (and humans!) does not take too kindly to dogs off leash who run up to her, so that's something to be aware of and continue to work with her on. Even though Bonnie is a Border Collie mix, she isn't anxious or hyper. She is very calm (fireworks don't phase her), loyal and intelligent. She doesn't bark often and never whines. She greets visitors nicely. She loves agility and learns obedience and tricks quickly. She also gets bored quickly so likes new challenges and places to walk and explore. Surprisingly, she is not very interested in herding or fetching a ball. Bonnie would prefer to be the only animal in her home, though she has lived with dogs and cats in the past, she can covet her food just a bit too much. Bonnie is is fully housetrained! Food is a big focus for Bonnie. She will do almost anything for a treat, which helps with training. On walks she is very interested in food that is left on the sidewalk, in the grass, etc. Awareness on the part of her human is important. If you leave food where she can get it on the counter, she will take advantage of this. Working with her on knowing she always has enough will be important. Kongs and snuffle pads will help her with positive food focuses! While on walks, s he is eager to chase a squirrel while on lead, and the foster has been working on the "focus" technique while out walking with Bonnie to quell her enthusiasm for squirrels (and rabbits). Bonnie comes with a training session with one of our contracted fear free trainers, to get you on the right track with her. She also has pretty great recall off leash at about 80% of the time, but as mentioned, a squirrel may take top priority right now! This girl rides beautifully in the car and loves to go! She has become very sweet at the groomers for nail trims, the vet's and her favorite pet store. She is great about being groomed at home weekly. She can be a little anxious about new enclosed places. Lots of treats and patience help this. She attends choir practice every week and is an honorary member of the choir! She greets everyone and then lays down under the piano to enjoy the music. Bonnie's gentle demeanor makes her a great companion. She's also known for giving the best hugs, providing comfort and warmth in the most endearing way. Smart, sweet, and gentle, Bonnie is truly a gem. If you are interested in meeting Bonnie, fill out an application and we will be in touch.

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Alder is basically the dog version of an introvert. Quiet, gentle, low-key, and completely content doing his own thing, Alder is one of the easiest and lowest-maintenance dogs I have ever had in the rescue out of hundreds of dogs. He is around a year old and was originally labeled as a pit bull mix at the shelter when he was younger and still looked like a generic puppy. But now that he is older, it is very obvious that he is not a pittie and instead looks much more like a Border Collie mix. Alder is wonderful with other dogs of all sizes and also great with cats. He peacefully coexists with everyone but honestly doesn’t care much about joining the chaos or playing constantly. He prefers to quietly exist nearby and observe the world at his own pace. He is shy and hesitant with new people at first, but there is not an ounce of aggression in him. He is simply a soft, sensitive dog who takes a little time to feel comfortable. Once he settles in, Alder is incredibly easy to live with. He is not demanding, not hyper, not loud, and not needy. He is the type of dog who quietly becomes part of your daily life without bringing chaos into it. Good fit: someone looking for a calm, quiet, low-maintenance companion who does not need constant stimulation or activity to be happy.

Story

Birdie is a 6-year-old female Border-collie mix. She works hard to be the very best dog possible. She loves to be near her people, and she never misses an opportunity to bring over a toy and play fetch. She has been a wonderful dog for us as a couple, but now with our young child she no longer has an ideal home life. Birdie is extremely smart and wants to please. We envision Birdie living her best life in a home that allows her opportunities to be highly active and to use those amazing smarts, while the home is mostly calm and feels safe for her. She is highly trainable. She does well on walks/hikes/runs, tends to pull a bit but easily corrected with reminders. She is well trained in the house and follows commands. She is anxious and can be reactive with small grows towards dogs and children, with a history of fear-based reactivity and a strong prey drive. She cannot be in a home with children or with small or reactive/high energy dogs (best if she's the only dog). So LOVEABLE!
