Story
Video https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8Z2ZfztKUHE Jazzy is a border collie mix and about 6 months old. She is so pretty and happy and friendly. Great with dogs of all sizes and with cats. Randomly goes for a swim in the pond. Affectionate but also independent. Currently about 30 lbs. Someone will be very lucky to bring her into their family. She is currently still in Oklahoma where she was rescued but she can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. She has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take her in or she will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found.

Story
Alder is an extremely sweet, quiet, shy boy. He is the dog version of an introvert. He is gentle and sticks to himself and is great with other dogs of all sizes and with cats. He doesn't engage much with them thought as he prefers to do his own thing. He has to be the most low maintenance and chill dog I've ever had in the rescue out of hundreds of dogs. He is hesitant with people he doesn't know but never aggressive. Not an ounce of aggression. He was listed as a pit bull mix at the shelter when he was smaller and still a younger puppy but now that he is an older puppy (about a year) it's obvious that he is not a pittie but looks more like a border collie. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found.

Story
Hayden is a Border Collie mix puppy and a member of our Heated Rivalry group. He came to us from Ozarks Pet Rescue after originally being found as a stray with his mom, Sheba, by Poplar Bluff Animal Control. Sheba had some pretty severe medical issues from raising her puppies, but she is now happy, healthy, and this sweet family is ready to find the loving homes they deserve. Hayden is a typical playful and curious puppy, and he is so deliciously cute it’s almost too much to handle. He has that irresistible puppy charm that makes everyone instantly fall in love, paired with the bright, eager-to-learn personality Border Collies are known for. He will do best in a family committed to continuing his basic training and socialization so he can grow into a confident, well-mannered adult dog. Hayden is currently working on crate training and learning his basic manners, and he’s doing wonderfully for his age. Hayden is available to a foster-to-adopt home within 30 minutes of Madison while he completes his medical care. This is a perfect opportunity to help him settle into home life while he finishes vetting. If you’re looking for a puppy who is equal parts adorable, playful, and full of potential, Hayden might just be your perfect match. All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough. If you're interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website at https://www.sftsrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

These pups are in Portage, Wisconsin too!

He is about 18 months old now and I don't understand why he hasn't been adopted. He is adorable, he only weighs about 40 lbs, he is great with other dogs, people, and cats. Perfect little dude. He loves to run and play and splish splash in the water. He would make a great companion for an active individual or a family that enjoys outdoor adventures or spending lots of time in the backyard. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below.
