Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in adopting, read about our Adoption Process and complete an Adoption Application on the Mo-Kan website.  A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.(Sending an "Inquiry" via Petfinder does not constitute an application.)   Copper is a 5 year old, high energy 48 pound purebred border collie who recently lost the loving home he had since puppyhood. This gorgeous blue merle boy came into rescue and hasn’t looked back. His sweet sister, Charlie, is in a separate Mo-Kan foster home. Copper loves people of all ages, especially children. He is not good with cats. Copper was used to being an outdoor dog and is learning that there are different rules indoors. He is very puppylike: perpetually happy, curious, and runs everywhere instead of walking. Copper responds best to gentle touch and calmly delivered commands. He is a blank slate, and eager to please! He is crate trained and runs in preemptively to get a treat, which he takes treats very gently. “Copper, come!” appears to be his favorite command. He thinks he is a lap dog and is learning to sit for affection instead of jumping up for it. Copper walks moderately well on a leash and is learning to stay to one side of his person. He enjoys outings to our local dog park for the people who pet him as much as the dogs he runs with. He is very skilled at reading and reacting appropriately to new dog friends and takes their feedback well. Copper would do best in a home with a consistent routine. Having been an outdoor dog after his first year of life, he is re-learning potty training. He is crated during the workday with a mid-day dogsitter break while his foster is at work and keeps his kennel clean. He loves being outside, running in a yard and wrestling with his 55 pound housemate, so a fenced yard and a dog companion are preferred. Copper is not good with cats and is hyper focused on chickens. A home without cats or caged small pets is a must. If he sounds like a great addition to your family, complete an adoption application on the Mo-Kan website. Copper is being fostered in the Kansas City area.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 4, 2026, 9:58 am

He is a beautiful 4 yr old smooth coat, black and white Border Collie, about 50 lbs. After living with a family since a puppy, life changes brought him into Rescue. Sasuke absolutely adores his humans and wants to be wherever they are. He is a curious, sweet boy that loves meeting and interacting with people. He  has lived with small children in his previous home. Foster Dad had holiday parties, Sasuke was one of the official greeters. He eagerly hops in the car and travels well, up for any adventure. Sasuke loves all toys, squeaky stuffie, Gameboy, is the current favorite. He enjoys playing ball or frisbee in the yard, or picking up the largest stick for you to throw again and again. Sasuke really loves his foster brother and sister, playing endless chase games in the yard, and seriously on “watch patrol” trio if needed in the house. He likes all dogs that he has met, very social. He lived with a cat in his previous home. Sasuke I has a lot of energy and would enjoy an active person or loving family. He loves walks, may be a good running companion, hiking, camping, just being active with his people. He knows “sit, down, give, shake”, and has excellent recall. Sasuke does have a good “off” switch after daily play or adventure. He will happily join you on the couch, or bed for a cuddle, and snuggle, or curled up as a foot warmer. Does Sasuke sound like the perfect addition to your family? Complete an application to adopt, meet Sasuke @ MoKanBCRescue.org He is up to date on all vaccines, on Heartworm, flea and tick prevention, and neutered. He is crate trained and house broken.  Sasuke is being fostered in the Kansas City area.Click here to watch a video of Sasuke.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 12, 2026, 2:26 pm
