This sweet Border Collie/Shepherd mix is looking for her perfect forever home! Roxie starts off a little shy around new people but give her time and she'll settle right in and show you her true self. About 2 years old and is spayed. Knows her basic commands. Would do best as the only pet in the house. On a daily anxiety medication that helps her feel calm and secure. Not recommended for homes with small children. May chase cats, though she's never hurt one. Can be a little food-protective around other dogs. Not a fan of kennels — she prefers her space!   Roxie just needs a patient, understanding family who can give her a quiet home to truly flourish in. If you've got the love and patience to help her feel safe, she'll reward you with loyalty and affection for years to come. This is a courtesy listing, and the owner has provided all information about Roxie. For more details or to inquire about adoption, please apply at www.beartoothhumane.org/adopt or call 406-446-3500. There is no adoption fee for courtesy-listed animals, though donations are always appreciated. Adoption applications are carefully screened. APPLY at www.beartoothhumane.org/adopt, click Submit, and we will be in touch (best way!) Or call/text 406-446-3500 with any questions.October 1, 2026, 8:28 pm

This girl absolutely LOVES other dogs. She can be a little rough when she plays, but she takes correction really well and is learning quickly. She also does great with kids. Nova would be the perfect dog for an active family. She’d make an awesome hiking, camping, or fishing partner and would be more than happy to tag along on whatever adventure you have planned. At only 35 pounds, she’s also the perfect size to take just about anywhere. Nova is spayed, current on vaccinations, and ready to find her people.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Gus is a stray puppy from Elmo, Montana, who was found on a porch and fed by good Samaritans before landing in foster care. At about 20 lbs, he's still a baby, with baby teeth, baby-soft fur, and that irresistible puppy smell. He's a true velcro pup. He loves being right beside his people and will make sure you know if you've wandered too far. He's happiest outdoors, ideally with his person right there too. He's a little shy at first, but he's very quick to trust. He's been showing his belly since early in his foster home. Fair warning: he's not shy about going in for the kiss on the first date. Gus is a BIG fan of his resident foster sister and all the neighborhood dogs. He hasn't been tested with cats, but all signs point to Gus not having a mean bone in his body. His foster mom was surprised to find he can already sort of sit on command. Maybe he's a wonderkind , or maybe he's had a home before. Either way, Gus is going to make someone very, very happy.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 1, 2026, 8:07 pm
