He is very relaxed and enjoys hanging inside, very content to be with you. Lair is not showing herding tendencies at the Farm but apparently loved to round up the chickens and ducks. He is happiest in a calm setting and with a companion relationship so will be placed in an adult only home. Lair is best as a solo dog since he can be strong in meeting other dogs though he lived with many dogs previously. He is typical in size for the breed and good with cats. He was relinquished due to neighboring kids agitating him. He came to the farm from upstate NY. 

RIGGS: A 6 month old Border Collie mix (probably retriever), Riggs is a good natured, happy go lucky sweetheart. He is really loving and cuddly and so happy to be with people. Riggs is proud to show off his obedient nature and surely deserves a treat for his brilliance. He is good with other dogs and likes to run and play and of course, he likes squeaky toys.

HATTIE found her forever home where she'll get to try agility, flyball, frisbee, freestyle and everything else sport related. Her new guardian came to find her first Border Collie to jump into all these activities and more and Hattie won her heart. Clearly, Hattie new she'd finally found her place after wading through three different homes and even a stint on the streets of NYC.

Randi is fine with other dogs but more focused on toys and the ball so could live as a solo dog, too. Randi is a bit skittish with strangers at first but once she knows you, is very comfortable.

A wonderful friend, Tilly is easy going and good natured. She is not hyperactive and not a herder, instead happy to be in the middle of activities of her people and sharing her love and cuddles.

She would enjoy being a marvelous companion and friend. Tilly is a bit overweight at the moment but will knock that off quickly. She is not yet tested on cats and has a summer clip so her normally gorgeous coat will be back shortly.

A car hit her at 4 months of age so she has really adapted well since it happened when she was so young. The previous guardians bought her on a whim and then let her roam the neighborhood unsupervised, actually leaving her out when they went away for days. This history is probably what's led to Jillie's more mature orientation to everything, unlike a young pup who is more chaotic.
