BONNIE is a sweetie of a 2-year old,
white & black, spayed female. She’s a lean, smaller dog,
weighing 26 lbs. She is crate trained and housebroken.
BONNIE has wonderful outdoor and
indoor dispositions. Outside she’s a typical BC with enthusiasm,
curiosity and runs hard with the pack. Indoors she seems to
understand she’s in a controlled environment and tones down her
activity level. She loves to cuddle and put her head on your lap
for a long petting session.
BONNIE gets along with all of the
other dogs here. She likes to chase after them, though sometimes
she gets a little to close and the older dogs will let her know
so, but she’s learning her place in the pack. She has chased
after Lucy Cat once.
All in all, BONNIE is a young, sweet,
happy dog with a typical young BC’s curiosity and need for daily
activity. She’s energetic and playful, but not
obsessive/compulsive and she settles down nicely to wait the
next play session. We believe BONNIE will benefit from personal
attention and training to become the best dog she can be BONNIE
is current on her vaccinations, is heartworm negative and on
preventative.
If you'd like to visit with
BONNIE, you must have an
approved application on file. To learn more about
her, please contact Jane Brogan (jkbrogan@wavecable.com)
and Brett Brogan (bcbrogan@wavecable.com.

Jim is a 6-year-old sweetheart. Jim
came from a ranch home where he was neglected and now he is
thriving in his foster home. He is a small black/white
border collie, about 30 pounds. He has a smooth, easy care
black/white coat and he loves to be bathed & brushed.
Despite being "middle-aged," Jim has
the energy of a typical BC but he is not an intense,
high-energy Border Collie. He is not a sports
candidate (i.e., agility, frisbee). He is also not a barker!
As a perfect partner for walking, he can easily get the bulk
of exercise from daily walks. He settles down nicely
after a long walk or play sessions like zoomies in the
backyard.
Folks experienced with Border
Collies will find him on the lower end of the demanding
scale. When he has bursts of energy, he plays with the other
BCs in his foster home or quietly chews on his Nylabones and
Kongs. His foster home is really enjoying Jim’s laid-back
demeanor and he complements the BC pack.
Jim will be an excellent addition to
a family home with teenagers or someone who is retired and
works from home looking for a loyal companion. He bonds
strongly with his person and wants nothing more than a place
at your feet to take a nap while you’re working at the
computer or watching TV.
Jim has excellent doggie social
skills. In his foster home or at the dog park, he has been
great with other dogs and he would make a great companion to
another playful and friendly dog. He is a submissive dog and
he wants to do the right thing. He knows sit, down, come and
we’re working on refining his stay and other essential
household manners. He rides quietly in the car especially on
trips to the dog park. He has only expressed curiosity about
cats. The cat in Jim's foster home doesn't run so he might
chase a cat if it ran.
He loves attention and belly rubs.
Jim is neutered, vaccinated and on preventatives for
fleas/ticks and heartworm. He is in great shape for a dog
his age, lean with a healthy appetite (loves yogurt, fresh
fruits and vegetables!!) and no known food allergies. He’s
crate trained, housebroken and a lovely Border Collie for
the right person. Jim will need guidance and patience to
learn about his new home and in return, he’ll take you on
plenty of fun, dog walking adventures. Please contact us
about meeting Jim!

adopting him, you must have an

Name: BAILEY

(Click on photo for additional pictures)
Bailey is now being
sponsored
“For the Love of
Cody, Tammy and Harley”
|
|
Male
Black & White
Age: 3 Years old.
Size: Medium
|

BAILEY is a three-year old, black and white, smooth coat,
neutered male. As is the case with many dogs coming from
ranch areas, his tail is docked, though it has not diminished
his tail wagging one bit. In fact his whole body wiggles when
he anticipates a fun outing – even just going outside.
BAILEY has been a very well behaved guest at his foster
home. He is housebroken and crates extremely well at night
and for feeding. BAILEY appears to have had some training as he
knows his name, sit and down. He is extremely affectionate and
loves to be petted!
As you can see from the photos, BAILEY gets along well with
the other dogs here. He loves to play tussle with toys and with
any willing pack mate. Homes with cats appear to be no
problem! He has encountered Lucy Cat a number of times and
shown no interest in her whatsoever.
BAILEY is a typical young BC with a need for daily activity
and human interaction. Outside he’s very curious, exploring all
areas he can access. He loves to go for rides so someone
wanting a traveling (and/or running) companion would be a good
match. He’s always eager to play, but at night he also has nice
way of settling down, blending in with the rest of the pack
lying around the floor.
All in all,
BAILEY is a young, sweet, happy dog that could use additional
training to become the best dog he can be. BAILEY is current on
his vaccinations, is heartworm negative and on preventative. If
you'd like to meet BAILEY, you must have an
approved application on file. For more information, please

MARBLE is a 3-year-old boy who came into rescue with a
seriously damaged foot. The injury happened a long time ago, &
the foot healed badly. His right front leg shortened, which made
movement painful for him. He's recently had his front leg
amputated, & he's getting around beautifully. He runs & plays, &
is a typical rambunctious Border Collie. Marble is a wonderful
companion dog. He loves people, & is good with other dogs.
Marble is not good with cats or chickens. Marble is housebroken
& crate-trained. He is neutered, heartworm negative (& on
preventative), & is current on his vaccinations.
