Story
Rescue puppy. Fully house broken, professionally trained. Not perfectly obedient but he comes, sits, etc.. He is very loving and likes to lean into and touch people to say hello. He has been great. Negatives. He barks at people or animals that walk past the house. He is alerting us and he wants to go play but as big as he is he intimidates people and other dogs when he gets all excited to see them. Once he is near a dog he is fine but when he first sees them he rushes at them and it is awkward. If he had a constant dog friend or friends I think he could get over this quickly. He also treats little kids the same way. He wants to get near them and play with them. He can intimidates people w/his size so that doesn't work out great sometimes. The reason we are rehoming him. He got lose and saw a dog across the street. He ran over to play and knocked over an older woman and she got hurt falling on the sidewalk, she sued us and we lost our insurance so I have to rehome to get reinsured. thx

Story
While berry season may be over - we still have a few sweet berries for you! Cranberry, Boysenberry, Huckleberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Blueberry, and Blackberry are just waiting for you to "pick" them! They are a mix of sweet, tart, and fluff! These adorable kids are approximately 8wks and range from 3-4lbs. Due to their small stature and herding tendencies if there are any children in the home they should be 8+ and dog savvy.  The "Berries" are all dog friendly and love people!  Huckleberry can be a bit shy, so another dog in the home would help her gain confidence. More information once they settle into foster care - please check back!  We recommend training for all our dogs!     **Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived into rescue without either parent. **Magnificent Mutts is an all foster home based rescue and meets are held by appointment with the entire family in attendance. Please ensure your current pets are up to date with vetting, have landlord/HOA approval and are prepared to take your new family member home at the adoption appointment.  Thank you for your interest!                             If you are interested in adoption, please complete the "Application to Adopt" which can be accessed from this link: (     www.magnificentmutts.org )  No phone calls please, emails only. Adoption donations range between $400-$450 (cash only), unless otherwise noted. Prices are subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donation. Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog application. November 5, 2026, 8:15 pm

Demi is a 10 month border collie mix. She is great with other dogs and kids, but cats are not a good match for her. She is still working on housetraining, but is catching on quickly.

Another playful dog would be a great addition in her forever family. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275.
