Hi, we have a Red Tri 4 year old Border Collie mix. She is a great, loyal dog. We have to move and are not allowed to have pets where we are moving. We rescued her when she was about 1 years old. She was very skittish and we loved her and made her feel more secure. About a month after we got her she was attacked on leash by two loose German Shepherds that took turns biting her. It was so awful. After that she became scared of other dogs on walks. She has gotten much better but I'd definitely say it changed her. She has also nipped at people (men) that come to our house. Not everybody, just a couple people. We can't figure out what makes her want to nip people. Anyway, she is great with me, my husband and our baby who is 16 mos. old. She would never hurt any of us. She also loves my parents who she sees often. She is just not super friendly to new people. However, I think she would do wonderful in a loving home where the people are patient and willing to show her lots of love. She usually comes around and gets in people's laps after about 15 minutes of them trying to be sweet to her. In the beginning she just acts scared. For more information, please

Gypsy is a 2 year old spayed
female. She gets along with other dogs, children and cats. She is
energetic, loving, has grown up with an older sheepdog, cat, and children.
She is sometimes shy, and extremely protective of family. Always the alpha
dog. She's been a great border collie. She only chews on sticks.
Sadie is about a 4 year old border collie mix, mostly border collie, with no tail. We rescued her last August and she has been a great dog except she really does not like our 9 year old female dog. We worked with a trainer and things were a little better for a while. Recently though they have been getting into alot of really physical fights, this is why we are putting her up for adoption.
She is very
affectionate, hardly barks, loves to chase toys, totally house trained.
She loves children and will happily sleep on your lap for hours. She
does like to lick and jump up to give you kisses, children over 10 would
be best.
She would make a
wonderful companion in a house with no other dogs. She does chase cats
when we are out so a cat free household would probably be a good idea.
We are in the
Danville area

Shadow is tri-color and is very smart, loving (except with our one youngest dog), and knows several commands. We figure he's about four years of age. We took him in from someone who was unable to care for their dog. We thought we'd be able to incorporate him into our family of two other rescued Border Collies, however, he does not get along with our youngest BC. He'd be great at flyball, or even Frisbee, or agility. So smart, agile, quick learner. He loves going for rides in the car. Loves walks. He loves playing in water. I have been able to train him with hand signals to 'sit.' Been working on 'down' and he's close with that one - always likes to know that you do have a treat in your hand. HA HA Loves climbing into dryers with freshly washed clothes. Will even climb into the laundry basket. Loves being brushed. Loves being rubbed with towels. He does have the natural instinct to herd - given the opportunity to herd something - mostly young kids - he will. And often, when we're playing ball in the back yard he is 'hunched down' waiting. A few times we've seen him 'crawl' from that position. We are in Elk Grove, California For more information, please call Kristi at 916-410-6331 or email kristi@kristicorbett.com.
Cole is a sweet, very kind and somewhat shy McNabb/Border Collie cross. I got him as a puppy for my husband 2 years ago and he has been a great dog. He's good with kids and has shown a natural talent for working livestock. I took him to one class and he has a lot of "eye". I need to find a home for Cole where he is loved and a working home would be fantastic. Cole is great with kids and is very friendly with all people. For more information, please call Brenda’s at 530 268 0255.
Shasta, looking for a spacious, loving home. She is two years old, has all current shots, licensed, chipped. I will be moving at the end of the year, downsizing. I currently live on a private road with only two homes and a ranch next to us. Shasta is a true border collie she runs with the neighbors Aussie shepherds and helps herd the cattle, and goats. She loves to run and chase ground squirrels and plays with the neighbor dogs. She is a big hugger, she loves to please and play. That is why I am looking for a home that has a large yard, Shasta loves to take walks, I walk her 4 times daily, because I need the exercise. She never barks, bites or shows aggression she really is a lover, but she needs a large safe yard and a family that can give her the attention she deserves she will enhance your life many times over. I do not want to give her up , but I am working two jobs now, my time with her is limited and I must move. I will probably rent an Apt. Shasta deserves a better home, she is that special. If you are looking for a wonderful companion, and want to share in some active spare time, Shasta is the one for you. 925-458-4142 home Janus.
Trip is a loving, smart, and high-energy Border Collie. He's a beautiful
tri-color and just about two years old (7/20/08). Trip has been raised in a
family home with children, but his heart, mind and body belong on a ranch.
So with heavy hearts we are attempting to find him a new home and full-time
job on a cattle or sheep ranch.
Trip is very protective of his family, and he needs extra time to adjust
to new situations and people. Because he is a beautiful dog, people
approach him to pet him, and this makes Trip nervous and more protective of
his people. Due to his shy temperament, Trip will take extra time to
socialize with a new owner, and we will place him with a rancher who will be
willing to work with him to build his confidence. We think he will be worth
the time, effort and love you invest in him as he matures!
Ideally, we would like to see him find a home where he will work and live
with an older, more experienced cow dog or sheep dog. Trip never wanders,
and he responds well to basic obedience commands: heel, come, sit/stay,
down, and wait. He is fully house-trained, and like most family dogs, he
has been accustomed to sleeping inside. He has not had any herding
training, but he has a very strong herding instinct. We love Trip, and we
want him to have a good, long life in a loving and busy ranch environment.
He is neutered and current on his vaccinations, and receives heartworm
prevention medication. Thanks for your interest!
For more about Trip, please call Aimee at 530-283-4813 or e-mail me at

We have two Border Collies that we took in almost a year ago when a
friend of ours lost her job and had to relocate. We can no longer keep the
dogs. They are 8 1/2 year old females, both spayed.
Their names are Brownie and Angel. They are very gentle dogs, very
friendly. We already have 4 other dogs and we can no longer keep them and
the original owner can't take them back.
Here are a couple of pictures of them. Brownie is the brown one, Angel
is the black one. For more information, please contact Robert at
916-952-7114 or email DocS44@aol.com.
I have a 9-month-old border collie, named Buddy,
available for adoption.
I need to find a new home for my border collie. I adopted him from
a shelter a couple of years ago.
He is a very nice dog when it comes to people and dogs, but when it comes
to cats or livestock he's bad. He minds well and I have even taken him
through herding classes but it did not help.
His name is "Mater", about 4 years old, neuter, current on all vax and on
heartworm preventative. He is housebroken. For more information,
please contact Lynda in Oroville

Panda is an 8 month old rescue. She is clearly mainly Collie but there must be some mix in there somewhere. She is spayed and up to date on all shots including rabies. Panda is extremely affectionate and cuddly at home. She loves to have her tummy rubbed. She is very curious and playful and spends hours with her toys and chewies. She is not a destructive dog. One of her favorite things to do is to chase the birds on the beach. Panda likes adults and children a lot. She has been well socialized since we got her at 3 months and has attended puppy class at the SPCA as well as working with an individual trainer. She has sit, lie down, roll over and shake mastered but is still working on stay and come. Recently she learned to swim. She does not like baths but loves being brushed. Panda is usually very playful with other dogs but has been showing increasing signs of dominance and aggression with them, usually over toys or if they get near to us. She is very quick to fight. We have had to break up many of them. She does not like leash walks and gets aggressive if we run into other dogs. She definitely does not like other dogs in the home. She has never shown any signs of aggression towards us or other humans. Panda is a wonderful companion and we love her a lot but we just can't meet her needs especially around the dominance and aggression with other dogs. Her trainer is willing to help transition Panda into a new home and consult with her new owners. For more information, please contact Sarah at 415-310-5891 or email sarahrabbit24@yahoo.com.
Regretfully, Megan Dog & I are not happy together. I am single, work and
travel often and when I am home - I'm working or simply tired. She wants to
play and I just want her to lay around like the cat does.
Megan Dog needs a home with a yard and children and maybe even another
dog. She is wonderfully sweet and loves children and dogs, even loves cats!
She likes to be outside but also likes to come inside and check things out
from time to time.
She has food allergies, I feed her Avoderm vegetarian and she does well
on this. It is not terribly expensive ~$25/bag. Her treats are carrots and
she eats no people food.
She is not aggressive at all and has been well socialized. She rides in the car very well and is even very easy to take to the vet. She gives him kisses!
She is a really great dog but I need to downsize and move into a less
expensive place. Megan Dog needs a yard.
She is microchipped and is otherwise healthy if allergies are kept in check. For more information, please call Christa - 614 657 4113 or email christa.ferguson@apple.com

Baloo is current on all her shots, she is spayed,
micro-chipped, and registered. She loves people, including
children, chases cats, is fine with dogs she knows and sometimes
acts alpha with dogs she is meeting for the first time. She is
house trained, but on leash or running free is quite free
spirited, energetic and willful. She spends much of her
day in backyard and nights indoors on her bed. Now that we
are caring for my mother-in-law, we are not able to take
Baloo for walks everyday. She needs lots of exercise or
opportunities for adventure. We live in El Sobrante.
Oliver is a mostly Border Collie mix, male, five years, 70 pounds. He looks and thinks like a Border Collie. He has been raised as a family pet among teenagers, and likes attention, play, and chasing a ball or squeaky toy. He lives for long walks. He usually does fairly well on a leash, but will pull when challenged or excited. He is a big dog and needs exercise, so a he should have a secure yard. He is protective of the property. Though he is easygoing and affectionate with family members who handle him calmly and build a relationship with him, he has a history of biting in anxious situations. He should be controlled or isolated when guests are in the house. Oliver will be an excellent companion for someone who is willing to be positive, active, and responsible in the way they relate to him. Contact Person: Paul, (530) 534-9242, pastorpaulclay@yahoo.com
I need to find a home for our 4 yr old purebred Border Collie Jack.
We can't keep him due to a move. Jack is shy at first but after
you get to know him he is your dog for life. He loves to go for
walks and would be best in a home without any other dogs. He loves
attention and being a part of the family.

This is our dog Sarah. She was
6 years old on January 17th. Our vet thinks she is a mix with an Akita. We
adopted her from an elderly couple. She spent her first 4 years in a backyard on
a chain. She now lives in the country on 5 acres.
Personality: Gets along well and wants to
play with all dogs. Loves people. Have seen absolutely no sign of
aggression. Walks well on the leash until distracted by other animals.
Very busy.....tends to nip when playing. Very smart. Easily
trained him to retrieve a ball and drop it when he returns. Totally
house trained. 1st day I brought him home (9/5/08) he hiked his
leg...caught him in the act and he hasn't done that in the house since.
Loves his crate at night and will go in automatically. Jumps over the
couches and runs through the house even after walking him.
Reason for needing a new home
Was laid off my job and thought it would be a good time to bring a new
dog home to spend time with him. Had a border collie for 15 years that
passed away in November. She was busy too but I raised her from 5
weeks old. Saw him at the shelter....reminded me of my other Border
Collie.......let my heart make a decision rather than my head.
Spent 1 1/2 hours letting him meet and greet my 10 pound 5 year old
Papillion. They seemed to get long.. she appeared to be the boss.
However, he gets a little rough with her at times. I left them for
several hours alone in my garage and my neighbor heard my papillion yelping.
I feel 100% positive that Denzel would not mean to hurt her but could hurt
her by being too rough. I live in a condo and walk Denzel....but he
really has no where to run and work out his energy. I feel he really
needs a home where he can run. I start a new job tomorrow and it will
be an 12 hour day. He can't stay in a crate that long. When left
alone for 4 hours...he tried to dig a hole to escape. He couldn't get
through....but my little dog almost did. She is a runner and probably
wouldn't come back.
If you are interesting in providing him a home or have questions, please
