Are you looking for a dog that loves to snuggle? Loves to go for walks? Loves to ride in the car? Loves sheep? Loves agility? Sue is the dog for you! This little diamond in the rough is a 10 month old purebred smooth coat female that just loves to be with her people. Few things upset Sue, she doesn't react to loud noises, running people, bikes, or skateboarders. She currently is living with a 15 month old baby, and allows petting from her, but also knows how to keep her distance.

Sue originally came from a farm in Kentucky where she was chained to a barn. A family rescued her and brought her to their home. While she was with this family, it was discovered that Sue would do better in a house with no cats and only male dogs. She would like a human or two to curl up with on the couch, though!

Although Sue has not had a lot of formal training in her life, she is a quick learner and is currently enrolled in basic obedience. She knows sit, down, stand, swing, front, and go to your kennel. Speaking of kennels, she is wonderful in hers. She goes in on command and rests in there quietly. She walks wonderfully on loose leash, too. But don't let all this wonderful obedience fool you, she is a young medium energy border collie that is just hitting adolescence, so she needs a home with some rules and experience with training young dogs.

Sue has been heartworm tested (negative), and is on preventative. She will soon have all her immunizations, and be spayed and microchipped as well as having any other healthcare she needs.

Hi! My name is Harley!  My family says I am truly  sweet and lovable. I am a 3 year old BC mix who  has a lot of great qualities.    First I am very smart and I learn very quickly.  I love to play frizbee and go for walks.   I enjoy being brushed, scratched and petted.  And I don't do bad things like dig holes in the yard and never ever chewed up or destroyed any property.

I would love to sit on your lap if you will let me otherwise I'll just snuggle next to you.  I like to give kisses too unless you say no.

Mom and Dad say I need a new home though because Dad has a new job and is harly ever home and he my great buddy.  I would like a home where you would be with me a lot and play with me and run or walk with me.  I don't know if I would like kids or not.  I only know one little kid and I like the attention...probably a big kid I can play with.  And mom says I would need a home to myself or with a bigger dog like me.  I guess I am too big and get a little much for my Shih Tzu buddy at home.
Oh, and mom says to tell you I am in good health and current on all shots! 

Contact my mom Maureen at msamoniemiller@aol.com or call 313-600-8355  We live in the metro Detroit area.

Annie is 6.5 month old purebred (we think) border collie with boundless energy and a big heart. She is spayed, current on all of her vaccinations, and house broken. She is very smart, and knows her "sit", "lay", "shake","stay", "leave it", "drop", and "watch me" commands very well. She is very loyal and loving to her owners. Annie needs a home that is quiet, and has a lot of space for her to run off leash. Annie needs to be in a home without children. She loves playing ball and frisbee, and would do very well with flyball and agility courses. She is great in the car and loves to go on trips to the dogs park and play with all of her friends. Annie loves giving and receiving hugs and kisses, and needs a home where she can shine.   

Annie lives in WISC.  Contact her humans at samjanepenn@yahoo.com . or call 608-852-3980

WANTED: Someone looking for a companion level border collie whose biggest need is to be with her person.

Patti is a 7 year old border collie that loves to be around people and is desperately looking for love and affection. She loves to follow me around the house and just wants to be in the room with me. She would prefer a quieter home as she does not like a lot of noise and confusion. She has gotten on well with all visitors to my home, including a 4 year old boy. She gets along well with other dogs as long as they are not "in her face." She has been around cats and shows interest in them but has not tried to hurt them.

Don't let the fact that she is 7 fool you. She still has plenty of energy left and loves to go for walks or a run in the park but also has an "off" switch. She has excellent recall and will typically stay within sight when out in the open. Patti is very affectionate and will soak up any attention you are willing to give. She enjoys curling up on the couch for a good movie and some cuddling. She is afraid of thunderstorms, doesn't get destructive, just pants and paces.

Patti is up to date on vaccinations, has been spayed, microchipped, is heartworm negative and is on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. She has been given a clean bill of health by the vet and is just ready and waiting for her forever home. She is being fostered north west Ann Arbor, MI.

Larry - Approximately 8 year old BC that was rescued off the table from being PTS! Larry is a very good boy who LOVES to be with people. Aside from being a little hard of hearing Larry is in good health and has a beautiful coat. He is a bit hard of hearing but does well when you speak to him up close. Larry is gentle, easy to handle, and seems to get along with other dogs no problem. His favorite things to do is to be loved on, play fetch, and be brushed. Because of his age Larry has a hard time with hard food and is currently on a soft food diet. Purina seemed most familiar with him, and his foster mom is going to try the new wet Beneful. How Larry came to be without a home is a mystery to his rescuers and current foster mom. He is a wonderful dog who was very skittish and unsure when he first arrived in his foster home, but after a few days of TLC Larry has really blossomed. He seemed to be well taken care of, and probably lived in the same home all his life. We're just unsure what happened to that home. Larry would make a great companion.

Hi!  My name is Nelly.  I'm five.  Don't you love my shiny coat?  Unlike most of the dogs up here, I've led a pretty charmed life.  I've been in my current home since I was a puppy, and my parents love me.  I've never been in a shelter and never been abused.  Here's the scoop:  they're expecting a human baby soon, and they think I might be too excited for a human baby.  Sometimes I like to herd them. Sometimes they make me nervous.  I understand, but it does make me very, very sad. See all these pictures of me?  Ain't I just the cutest?  If you adopt me, I promise I'll be your bestest, goodest girl.  I just am not too good with the little ones.  Who needs a little one anyway?  I'm cute enough for anyone! I'm respectful of boundaries, trained on an electric fence, good with respectful doggie playmates, and a very attentive, eager girl.  I might even like agility or obedience, if you're game.  Please contact my family right away.  With looks like these, I won't be here long!
Love,
Nelly

Nelly is located in the Chicagoland area.  Please email her parents for more info at grndpoundr69@yahoo.com or call 815-955-2942

Alisdair 7.6.08

I am a darling 6 month old, very self-assured border collie that will need an active life! I love playing fetch, and many times can beat out the older dogs to get the tennis ball. I also am learning to chase a flat round thing my foster mom calls a Frisbee.

Although I was raised outside, I am learning to really like life in the house. I especially belly rubs after I sit nicely to get my paws get wiped after playing outside. The other dogs and I like to play, but I am not sure about the cat. It would be fun to chase him, and foster mom watches me very carefully to make sure I don't have that much fun!

All my vet work is done, other than I will need another puppy shot in a month or so. I am neutered, microchipped, have my rabies and two pup shots so. Foster mom started me on heartworm preventative and Frontline. She also wormed me (yuk!).

Alisdair is being fostered in southern IL about 90 miles east of St. Louis . To apply to adopt him please contact Chris at Animal Protective Association (APA) of Southern IL at comebyebcrescue@hotmail.com
