Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Levi!Levi is an 1 1/2 year old neutered male Cattle Dog! Currently 28 lbs most likely will be closer to 40 lbs when fully grown. Levi is a very nervous boy. It takes a while for him to build up trust with a person. For the first 3 weeks I was unable to touch him but now he’s able to take cookies from my hand, allow me to pet him, and hang out on the couch with him! Now that’s he’s coming out of his shell he’s finally becoming a naughty baby puppy! I’ve been loving watching him steal shoes, throw toys in the air, and try to sneak snacks. Levi will do much better in a home with another dog. He likes to build relationships with other dogs which makes it easier for him to open up to people! He gets along with every dog he’s ever met! He’s your typical pushy baby Cattle Dog. He likes to push everyone’s buttons but is receptive to corrections from dogs and verbal redirecting from people! Once out of his shell he’s the sweetest boy. He likes to chase toys, play in the water, and wrestle with his friends! Levi had an injury to his rear left leg which has since healed but his hair is still growing back! Levi is searching for an active family who likes to go on walks, hike, and play in the yard! He does have a fence requirement as he has proven himself to be a fence jumper when scared. He will need to be supervised in the yard. He is looking for a patient family who will help him blossom. Levi was brought in with his litter from a backyard breeder in Western OH and is now being fostered in Plymouth, IN. Please contact cripecasey@gmail.com  if you have any questions about Levi.  You can complete an application to adopt Levi or any of the dogs on our website at www.comebyebcrescue.org  .    ***  The potential adoptor will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.

If you’re looking for a beautiful girl. Here she is.   Chloe does great in a crate and walks on a leash and sits nicely. But like most Cattle Dogs they have energy. We exercise her with lots of ball. She is a great ball retriever.   Chloe comes from Southern, IN. Where she was found and picked up as a stray. Chloe gets along with other dogs but very selective, like most Cattle Dogs. They can be snobbish with who they make friends with. She tends to get along with dogs who don’t try to dominate her or tell her what to do! ( like most women)!   She is not good with small animals or dogs. Her prey instinct takes over.  C hloe is a cuddle bug and by your side kind of girl. She loves her people and will love all the attention from people.     Chloe is fostered in Plymouth, IN If you have questions about Chloe, please email   cripecasey@gmail.com  .  For additional information on Border Collies and our adoption process, please visit our website at www.comebyebcrescue.com.    ***  The potential adoptor will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.*** Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 24, 2024, 8:44 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Introducing Quinn &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Quinn ever so unique tail is looking for her forever home. She is the sweetest girl. Her confirmation measures up to her beautiful, white tail. She is built short and stocky. She is an easy keeper and doesn’t require a-lot of food. Her personality is like most Cattle Dogs. Loves to have exercise, especially her ball. Loves people and gets excited to see them. So, we are working on staying down and not jumping 5ft in the air. Yes, she has springs in her feet. She is great riding in the car and loves to cuddle beside her Foster Mom on outings. Walks on a leash and has some skills like sit. She is great in a crate and has not made a mess. Quinn was picked up in Southern Indiana as a stray, along with a female Cattle Dog whose confirmation highly resembles herself. So, we call them sisters. Quinn likes her sister, and they play well together, but Quinn is very dominant with other dogs, and we are recommending she be a single dog. Plus, she would eat up all the attention her human will give her. She does have an off-switch and enjoys cuddling on the couch. Most Cattle Dog owners love the loyal and Velcro personality of this breed. If you have questions about Quinn, please email   cripecasey@gmail.com  .  For additional information on Border Collies and our adoption process, please visit our website at www.comebyebcrescue.com.    ***  The potential adoptor will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.*** Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 24, 2024, 8:44 am

He is crate trained.  Good with other dogs. Most Cattle Dog love their people so he will be a great Velcro dog. This guy was shy when he came in and scared to death. Goshen was pulled from a shelter and shut down and super scared. His only hope for adoption was to be snatched out by a rescue. Our hearts broke when his pictures flew across Facebook and the terror in his face. The transformation from shelter life to a foster family with other cattle dogs was a deep breath of freedom and acceptance. Check out his video and pics.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact stephodellbc@hotmail.com for more information about this pet. Meet Kanga, She is a Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler female, approximatley 3 months old, being fostered in Plymouth, Indiana.   The cutest little Cattle Dog Girlie. She is ready to find her forever home!! Here are some things about her so far!! She is excellent in the car and travels daily. She is now jumping up in a car on her own. Crate training is going very well. She sleeps quietly through the night. Eats all meals in her crate. We are working on recalls and sit, and she is a quick study! She loves food, so training will be easy She loves playing on our little tykes playsets and especially the slides.... I'm sure she'd make a nice agility prospect. She can be a VERY independent pup. When I am playing group fetch with the dogs, she is more often than not, off exploring the yard vs. getting in on the group activities. She has been fine with dogs and cats so far. She can be a bit of a rough player at times.... She sometimes has my Border Collie puppy squealing because she is dragging him around with her mouth. Her and her brother definitely like to move things with their mouth. She does play at daycare every day and does well with all the different breeds, sizes, and personality types Because she travels to and from work with me, she is on a leash daily. She does very well leash walking. She is a sweet puppy and can be very affectionate. I like that she is not as vocal as her brother, and she doesn't try to "bite" me as much as he does.

Story
Nancy is a young Australian cattle dog who would just love to sit on your lap and be cuddled all day. She’s smart and full of personality with spurts of play time then lots of chill time.  Nancy is about 3 or 4 years old. She is completely house trained and is excellent in her crate. She’s good on a leash and knows several commands including “sit” and “kennel.” She is particularly motivated if treats are involved! Nancy loves other dogs but can get pretty rowdy when she plays. She would be great with a dog buddy as long as the dog is accepting, playful, and not easily offended by silly antics. One of Nancy’s favorite things is to talk to all her favorite toys. Nancy needs a home with a fenced-in yard and would prefer someone who has herding dog experience. No kids under 10 please. Nancy is being fostered in the St. Louis area. ##1270950##

Story
Gabriel came to us from a rural shelter in the Carolinas. This young dog had been seriously injured after being hit by a car. The impact broke his leg and caused his eye to pop out. Although veterinarians were able to save his eye, he wasn’t able to see out of it, so it eventually had to be removed. He has recovered quickly from that procedure as well as surgery to fix his leg. Although Gabriel is only a couple years old, he totally acts like a puppy. He is extremely curious, energetic, and playful, but also loves to snuggle. He adores playing tug, thinks chew toys are fantastic, and has a blast with stuffed toys and his Jolly Ball. Gabriel is doing great with potty training and is working on leash and crate manners. He’s a quick learner and knows sit, kennel up, and hush. He is goofy and can be rowdy, but he totally wants to be a good boy. Gabriel is good with dogs that like to play as hard as he does. He needs a home with a fenced-in yard. He’d be fine as an only dog or would have fun with a well-matched dog pal. He’d love a family who might be interested in dog sports or other fun activities and who will spend time continuing to teach him how to be a great dog.  Gabriel wants to play and wants to be loved and cuddled. He certainly deserves it after his traumatic experiences. He’s being fostered in the St. Louis area. ##1864447##

🍁 Meet Maple! 🍁 We introduce you to the lovely and charming Maple - a vibrant 6-month-old beauty with a heart as warm as her red and white coat. Maple is a delightful mix of playfulness and affection. Her striking red and white fur adds to her allure, making her a standout companion ready to steal your heart. Just like her brother Domino, Maple is searching for a forever home where she can blossom into the cherished family member she was born to be. 🌟 Adoption Fee: $45 Maple's adoption fee is $45, and the adopting family will be responsible for the costs of spaying, microchipping, and necessary shots. This additional care ensures that Maple starts her journey in her new home with the best possible foundation for a healthy and happy life. 🏡 Sibling Bond: While Maple and Domino share a special bond as siblings, we believe that they will thrive best if adopted into separate loving homes. This allows them the opportunity to build unique connections with their new families and create individual bonds that will last a lifetime. 🩺 Health and Well-being: The adopting family will be required to cover the costs of Maple's spaying, microchipping, and shots, which are not included in the adoption fee. 📞 Contact Us: Due to technical difficulties, please reach out to us by phone at 618-327-9471 or through our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064739284772 Open your heart to Maple and let her sweetness fill your home with joy. She is ready to embark on a new chapter of love, play, and companionship.

Story
Sweet Ila has been with us since the end of August 2023, when she was found dumped in a park with two other dogs. Luckily, she's spent much of her time here in a foster home, which spares her the stress of the shelter and gives us much needed information to find her the perfect new home! Ila is a super smart girl who is eager to please, a quick learner, food motivated, and takes her treats gently like a lady, making her a joy to train. She already has very good recall, meaning she comes when you call her, so her new family won't have to start from scratch on teaching one of the harder basic commands!! She's also already potty trained, crate trained, and has wonderful leash manners making it possible to simply enjoy your evening stroll without being pulled or having to stop to correct unwanted behaviors. Could she be any more perfect??? YES!! Ila loves other dogs and was always super playful in her play groups. She's an excellent co-pilot and quite enjoys a car rides...especially those special trips with a Starbucks stop! Ila can be shy at first, and takes sometime to warm up to people, but once she does, she's a total affectionate love bug!! She adores snuggling with her human, whether it's on the couch or under the covers in bed. If you're looking for the perfect dog, look no further! Let's keep her from ever having to celebrate a 1 year anniversary in the shelter by getting her into a forever home!
