DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

SNAPSHOT: TWO YEARS AND UNDER - PUREBRED BORDER COLLIES  

These border collies need a very active, committed home with guardians  who truly understand the complexity, intensity and demands of the  breed. They usually do best with another young border collie though it  depends on dog chemistry. They require companionship and will not do  well left alone more than 3-4 hours a day




Little LUKA is about to have a big life, joining her FurDad on the 5,000 acre estate which he oversees. Once she's a bit bigger, she'll join him in daily duties just like his previous Border Collie did, a great life for any BC. This lucky little girl landed beautifully where she's got it all, even 60 acres to call her own for exploring and fun. Luka joins another BC alum, Ollie and has plenty of other BC's in her extended family, three of which came from the Farm. We hope to hear about Luka's exploits as she grows up living in a border collie paradise, in MD

LUKA: A 7 week old tri-color Border Collie, Luka is a love. She's a classically curious girl who is looking for something to do. She enjoys her two BC friends at her foster home and is really having a blast. Luka will be placed in a Border Collie home only. She is a sweet, smart, highly energetic young pup, as all young BC's are. 



ELLSI: A 3 1/2 month old Border Collie, little Ellsi is a bright light of joy and curiosity always ready to try anything new and explore everything around her. She is such a gem with a really remarkable personality. She is also a very smart girl and found her way to her new home quickly when she landed in foster care with one of our caretakers. Within short order, she had such a special place in the hearts of her new FurFamily that her FurMom knew this was forever! Ellsi is blossoming with her little nose kisses to awake her each time she sleeps, carefully guiding her to know everyone is great. Ellsi is deaf so the special care she is getting now will insure her happiness and stability in the world. We are thrilled for Kay and her family who now have their first Border Collie pup after four years of meeting so many at the Farm!

ORIE: A 4 month old Border Collie, Orie is fabulous. He is confident, happy, good natured and fearless. He joins in dog play instantly and races and chases like the big dogs. He reads dogs well and knows when to back away and when to engage. Orie is very very smart and eagerly wants to work for food and learn. He already knows lots of commands and is housetrained, clearly as bright as they come. He has what we call, racing stripes on his back end, quite adorable to see as well as those floppy ears that have not yet decided where they want to be. Orie is such a charmer, quite the cuddler and all action too. He is one wonderful pup and is good with cats. He was abandoned in a NJ shelter due to allergies with children in the home.

GRAHAM: A 7 month old Border Collie, Graham is a gentle, sensitive boy who likes to play with other Border Collies but has a shy side with people. He will need a quiet adult home with another confident BC to help him blossom. He is super sweet and loving and wins your heart quickly. Graham is good with cats and about 35 pounds. He came to the Farm from Kuwait where he was found as a stray. He is the third dog to come to us from there, assumed to have been with a U.S. military person originally.

WILLIS: An 8 month old Border Collie, Willis is a gentle, sweet, good natured guy who loves to play with other dogs and toys, too. He is not super high energy but loves a great doggie game of wrestling and chasing. He will blossom quickly with positive encouragement and he learns quickly with treats, very eager to please. Willis is really sweet and learning all about life in a home setting. He is about 35 pounds and is good with cats. He came from a farmer who breeds but only wants dogs who will work, not play. Willis's play nature is just perfect for the Farm and a new life! 

Special thanks to Donna Deal who transported him to the Farm.



MURDOC found his person and quickly sat in front of her to say hello as if he'd been waiting all along, just for her. It was adorable. He then enjoyed meeting her dog, Bosco, and happily fit in with him, again as if it was meant to be. His new FurMom was thrilled. She had been hoping he would be the little guy she was looking to add to her life. He'll get to try agility and flyball and anything else in the world of doggie games, that interests him. Murdoc now lives in NJ where he'll be happy and adored.

MURDOC: A very petite 9 month old Border Collie mix, Murdoc is a charming little guy with lots of energy to play and lots of love to give. He is excited to say hello to everyone and happily does just that. Murdoc easily adapts to a new situation, grabbing his toy for some fun play and following his person everywhere they go. He loves toys of any kind, especially the wiggly giggly ball and squeaky toys, totally enchanted by the odd sounds they make. He is quite the charmer to be with a funny character to watch, happily entertaining himself. Murdoc still has those puppy tendencies of being mouthy so will need some direction which is normal for young dogs. He is smart and eager to learn and could easily learn sports. He's also fast since he's such a little guy, only 18 inches at the withers. Murdoc came from Georgia as part of another rescue's rehoming effort but their placement didn't work out properly so they contacted us for help. He's a wonderful good natured little guy, a real puppy at heart, but not good with cats

MOLLIE: A 9 month old Border Collie, Mollie is brilliant. She listens attentively and instantly, thinking through everything around her and then deciding what she will do. You can see her mind problem solving and watch her find her own answers carefully with all the style of a mature BC though she is a pup. Mollie will thrive with someone who really wants to challenge her mentally and provides her an opportunity to work. She is fairly petite, fast and focused and eager to play with toys, even entertaining herself. She is also non-stop energy, typical of this age and will only go to a home that is BC savvy and has an outlet for her mind and body. Mollie will give you her heart though, she is quite affectionate and loves everyone she meets instantly. She is now learning about other Border Collies and gaining confidence with the dogs around that think and act just like she does. She came from a home with a sedate older dog so all the dogs are new to her. She has a wonderful temperament and could excel in a close relationship with a person. Mollie is from a breeder in VA bought by the son of a woman who then inherited Mollie when he was deployed. Though she loved her dearly, she could not meet her energy needs. Mollie needs a real job, like all young high-drive Border Collies or she'll make her own. Mollie is 35 pounds and good with cats.

-the Spirit of The Briard Princess, DeeDee

PYE: A 10 month old Border Collie, Pye is a typical, non-stop, high energy girl who thrives on something to do. She will make up her own herding games or play with toys if she is not engaged with her person cause she's smart and focused and ready to go. Pye is great with everyone she meets, happy to say hello and then hoping for a connection. She cuddles and loves to be in your lap but like any young BC, she is then off and going. She loves toys of any kind and loves to play with other dogs, too. She is good with cats.  She was abandoned at a PA shelter that fortunately works with GHF.  .  Pye is being fostered by Warren Mick in upstate NY where she's learning about herding. We plan to place her in a herding home where someone is home most of the day and she can work.  We're so excited for her since she showed lots of talent when she was tested on sheep this summer.

Junno has everything in one package, a cuddler too. He loves to play with other Border Collies and easily fits in wherever he goes. He is really good natured and easy going though an active young BC, like usual. He was living in a situation not suited to him. He is best with dog savvy cats and about 35 pounds.

Devin's Angel
the Spirit of The Briard Princess, DeeDee

DEVIN: A 1 year old Border Collie, Devin is really sweet, good natured guy who enjoys being with his person. He loves affection and he also loves to play ball. He's enjoying the games with other Border Collies and really coming to life, having a blast. He had been an only dog but seems happiest now with a friend. Devin is a very smart, observant BC who thinks about everything going on around him before being impulsive so could easily learn whatever is asked of him. He is very gentle and easy going. Devin is about 45 pounds. Devin is unsure of cats so needs some guidance and with dog savvy cats, he'd be fine.  He came to the Farm from a NY guardian who ran a day care and while Devin was good with the kids, she just felt she could not focus on his needs.

Tye's Angel
Angel from "Mac Blae" 
TYEA 1 year old Border Collie, Tye is a sweet guy who is making great strides understanding life in a home.  He is incredibly sweet with people and  having fun playing with his BC friend though he can be nervous with new people if approached too strongly.   He is such a character, leaning into your legs, eager to curl up for attention, a real love bug but Tye really does best with his person to give him confidence and takes awhile to learn the lay of the land in anything new. He will be placed only with another young BC so he'll have canine companionship and in a BC savvy adult home.  He will be do best in a fairly quiet home though he does love the action of the farm animals in his foster home. Tye will only be placed in a hard fence not an underground fence system.  Tye came from Tn with the dogs confiscated from a breeder. Tye is in foster care in Rochester NY

Indie's Angel
James Hoffman
INDIE: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, Indie is a gentle, sweet, good natured Border Collie who kicks into herding gear outside with his brother, Cosbie. He has quite an eye and is eager to 'work'. Indie is smart and also sensitive so will need a patient guardian who understands how to build his confidence with people. He is very loving and bonds once he's comfortable but can be shy at first and takes some time to warm up to new people. He and his brother lived on a farm where they could run and herd on their own so he's unsure what's expected of him in a relationship. He does, however, love people once he knows them. He will be placed with another confident BC with experience BC guardians. Indie is fine with cats and weighs about 40 pounds. He was relinquished, along with his brother, by a guardian who could no longer keep them both, from PA.

KITT: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, Kitt is all about working whatever moves with quite the eye. She is smart, focused and very classic BC. Kitt is super friendly and affectionate too, loving everyone she meets, a real sweetheart. She's quite the cuddler and easy going inside however once outside, Kitt is all about work. She is a strong herder so best as a  solo dog. She does love to play with toys and will use all that focus for play, too. Kitt is super smart, very very tuned into people, comes to you instantly when called and very eager to please.  She is one of the sweetest, best natured BC's and also one of the most intent in her focus.  We repaired her fractured hip and she now has full use of the leg and runs like the wind, completely normal. Kitt is about 40 pounds and not best with cats.  She came to the Farm from another rescuer who felt we could best rehome her


LELA found the perfect life where she can have canine friends to herd, a loving guardian to focus on her and a life of agility, rally obedience, herding and any other sport that seems like fun. She will blossom tremendously with the caring furMom who fell in love with her. We're thrilled for Lela who now lives in NJ using her great mind and sharing her sweetness and charm.

LELA: A petite 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, Lela is a lovely girl, very sweet and eager to connect with everyone. She can be a little shy at first but quickly lands in your lap for tons of affection. Lela is smart and focused and wants to be the center of attention though she is very gentle with people, a love-bug. Lela is also very fast when she's running and loves a good outdoor race. She gets along with other dogs well but could easily live as a solo dog with someone who is active. Lela is about 35 pounds and good with dog savvy cats. She came originally from Texas to a NY guardian who could then not meet her needs.


YATES found a furDad who could keep up with his antics and maniacal ball play, enjoying every minute of his puppy tendencies. Yates happily enjoyed hours of ball play at the Farm before headed off to his life in NY. He'll enjoy tons of attention and plenty of play as well as lots of challenges for his great mind.

YATES: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie mix, Yates is all about ball play! He'd rather catch a ball tossed his way than a treat. In fact, he's happy to entertain himself with a game of two-ball, one in his mouth and one on the floor, alternating between the two...he just loves to play ball. He is super focused with the Border Collie traits but relaxed much like a lab or golden, an easy going guy. He likes other dogs and fits in well though would be thrilled to have a human friend to call his own, playing ball! Yates loves toys of any kind and would love an active guardian. He's quite a character. Yates is 55 pounds and not yet tested on cats. He was a stray in PA. 


DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

SNAPSHOT: OVER TWO YEARS - PUREBRED BORDER COLLIES

These border collies are active and still require similar situations as young pups but once three and up, they can settle more easily and are less demanding so can usually make the best choice for homes with intermediate activity levels.  They are usually obedient, understand what is expected and want a strong human connection in order to be happy. They also require companionship and will not do well left alone more than 6 hours a day.

KAI: A 2 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Kai is all action, a very smart, very focused and very fast young Border Collie, He loves to run and he's fast as the wind, chasing and herding the other dogs. Kai is also very loving and friendly to everyone. He has no worries about life and loves to jump into everything with gusto. He will do best with an active home that can maximize his mind while keeping him busy since he has plenty of energy to burn. He does, however, settle beautifully once he comes inside, quietly laying down and content. Kai and his brother, Casey, came to the Farm since they were escaping their fenced yard to chase chickens, very typical of active BC's who need focused activities rather than creating their own. Kai could easily do any sport and is super fast to learn anything new. He is about 45 pounds and not good with cats. Kai and his brother Casey came to the Farm from Long Island guardians. Kai is trained on the invisible fence



CASEY found the perfect family and canine friend for a brand new life. He quickly enjoyed playing with his new Border Collie girlfriend, Maddie and then happily asked for belly rubs and cuddling from each human! He fit right in as if he'd lived with everyone all his life and everyone enjoyed the flirty playful games between this special BC duo! Quite charming and fun to see. Casey hopped in the back of their car and headed out to his new life in Vermont.

CASEY: A 2 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Casey is a very smart, observant and focused BC who likes to herd other dogs but also loves to be with his person. He is super responsive to what is asked of him and will easily hang out inside, enjoying the attention of his guardian. Casey has a strong focus so could easily learn whatever he is asked to do but he will also entertain himself, curious about everything. He and his brother, Kai, came into rescue from their Long Island home where they were escaping the fence to chase chickens. He is carrying some extra weight which he'll knock off easily here. Casey is not good with cats. Both he and Kai have wonderful recall and enjoyed off leash trail walks in their previous home. They could be placed together or separately. Casey is trained on the invisible fence

She is smart and observant, checking things out before she decides to jump in. Sadee loves being outdoors for a run in the woods. She has quite a charming way of talking with her howl, asking to go with you. She also loves to play with squeaky toys and will make her funny sounds as she tosses and squeaks the toys, quite adorable, entertaining herself. She is about 40 pounds and OK with dog savvy cats. She came from western PA. She will be placed in an adult only home since toddlers make her nervous. Sadee is best as a solo dog since she has little experience living with other dogs and is uncomfortable.

He is eager to bond and once he does, he's incredibly happy to see his person come through the door, jumping into your lap for belly rubs.  Ross needs the confidence of someone on his 'team' when he encounters new situations since he can be a bit nervous. Good positive training methods help him relax.  Ross is smart and observant, more of a thinker before he takes action on what's going on around him so will do best with a bc savvy guardian. Ross is very smart and attentive and could easily be trained though is not as intense as other bc's who need the outlet of sports activities.  He likes to play with other dogs and will only be placed with another dog or two since he feels more comfortable with canine friends.  He is best with dog savvy cats and is about 40 pounds. He was a stray in MD. Ross is very camera shy so it's hard to capture his wonderful, expressive face but we tried!  Ross will be placed in an adult only home since he does best with clear leadership.

Michelle & Michael Moretti
RHEA: A 2 year old Border Collie, Rhea is a smart, driven girl who likes to herd and has informally worked sheep on the farm where she lived. She is a gentle Border Collie when not working and can even be a little shy with new people but warms up once comfortable. She is sweet and likes to connect with her person, a super affectionate girl. Rhea is quite cuddly, jumping right into you lap for belly rubs and hugs.  Rhea loves to play ball and frisbee but like most BC's, her favorite thing is herding, even if it's other Border Collies.  She would do best with another BC for play, preferably a male.  She is good with cats and fine with other dogs but does best with males.  Rhea lived in a farm situation but was fostered in a loving home for a number of months and is now ready to start a new life.  She will do best with BC savvy people since she does have a lot of energy so needs an active home where she can hike and join in regular mental and physical activity.  She came to the Farm from Vermont when a neighbor stepped in to help her

Kayla is great with another male Border Collie, happily content to play. She is about 35 pounds and not yet tested on cats. She was adopted from the farm a year ago but ended up in a situation with too many dogs and did not do well. One other male canine friend would be better than a large pack.

Haily's Angels
John & Bonnie Yurga "In Memory of Hurricane Charlie"
HAILY: A petite 2 year old Border Collie, Haily is action-oriented and eager to play ball. She is super fast and very agile, a classic BC with incredible focus.  She loves the frisbee and ball and would be thrilled in an active home. She is a marvelous companion, sweet as can be, an easy going girl who quickly comes to life with her ball!  Haily clearly came from a home where she learned all kinds of things, including being able to sit back and wave! Haily come from a shelter in NJ as a stray. She is 33 pounds. Haily is a strong herder with cats so will stress out cats who are not used to this plus she needs supervision since her herding can turn into a grab, though it's not aggression, it's just intent herding.  We are listing her as no cats for this reason though many homes have bc's just like her and manage fine.


Special thanks to Pat Toomey, Liz Jordan, and  Jess Ajoux for getting Haily safely to the Farm.

He is super agile, super fast and really eager to learn and execute whatever you ask him to do. Jakey is a very obedient and very very smart, offering behaviors quickly, hoping for a treat and approval and to try something more challenging.  Jakey has been exposed to agility equipment and is fearless, eager to do any obstacle.

Jakey is great with people and loves affection though he can be insecure at first, especially with men.

Jodi's Angels
Regina Burton & Megan
JODI:A 2 1/2 year old Border Collie, Jodi is having a great time at the Farm, free from the life of breeding. She is a gentle, shy girl who is now racing around playing with other rescue dogs at the farm, really learning that life is good. Jodi captures your heart quickly as she snuggles up for attention and then darts away to check on something of interest. We affectionately call her "Jodi Bug!" and she races over to say hello.  However, Jodi is a skittish Border Collie so will only be placed in a fenced situation without children.  She feels nervous with new people and chaos so needs a quiet home setting with another canine friend, preferably a male.  Jodi can scale our 5 foot fences easily as well as jump through windows and on top of 4 foot high crates so she'll need an invisible fence to contain her safely or someone who always goes outside with her.  She is about 35 pounds and good with cats. Jodi, came with Dessie , both abandoned at a PA shelter which fortunately works with GHF 

Jodi has charmed us all at the Farm with her little 'paw' mannerism where she says hello and does her Jodi wave, pawing in the air and then on your arm for attention - quite the charmer she is!

DESSIE: A 2 1/2 year old Border Collie, Dessie is a sweet, gentle girl who is learning how to have fun! She  and Jodi, came from the same breeder who dumped them at a PA shelter so this is her first time to enjoy the freedom to play. Dessie is very shy at first but so wants to be next to you, that she inches up carefully to your side for belly rubs and attention. Loud voices will scare her away so she'll need a patient home that understands it will take awhile for her to be a 'normal' run up to everyone kind of BC. When you're happy and at ease, so is she but it takes time for Dessie to feel safe. She will only be placed in a hard fence situation since she is so skittish.  And, she needs a home without young children that is quiet and preferably has a canine friend, a male BC. Dessie is a really special sweet, good natured girl and she's great with other Border Collies but she has not had the social contact with people to help her feel safe right away.  She will only be placed with a hard fence and with someone who is very patient to help her gain confidence, slowly. She is about 35 pounds and good with cats. Dessie is being fostered in NY

He is classic in his observation of everything around him, thinking and then acting as he decides what makes sense for him to do. Blazer really enjoys being with people, a wonderful sweet, good natured guy who has an off switch and can hang out or amp up and respond to all the action around. He also likes herding and playing with other Border Collies though he can be a strong dog with some BC's as he starts herding them.  He could be a solo dog  since he is used to being on his own. He is about 40 pounds and not good with cats.  Blazer was a loved family member surrendered to the Farm from a NJ guardian due to a move.

He is very eager to learn.  Gradie is likely to be happiest as the only dog. Gradie can be a little shy at times with new situations so needs a patient guardian to help him.   He is a bit deaf so that creates some hesitation when he's nervous.  Gradie came to rescue from a PA Amish breeder who no longer wanted him.  He is about 35 pounds and good with dog savvy cats.

Kelie's Angel
Jane Kihlstrom
KELIE: A petite 3 year old Border Collie, Kelie is all about love and cuddles. She will happily hop into your lap for endless affection. She is a gentle girl who gets along with other dogs but seems to thrive with her person the most.  She is smart and attentive but not overly intense.  She comes from a herding background since she's the daughter of Stan, who is also in rescue. Just like him, she is incredibly easy going and eager to bond.  Kelie has not had any toy experiences since she was chained outside at a farm (chained not far from Stan) and she was also allowed to run loose around the Farm.  She never left, instead she considered the Farm 'her job', though it wasn't an ideal life.  The day we met Kelie, it was subzero weather and her 5 foot chain was pulled across packed down snow and there was no water, only food thrown on the snow.  No matter the circumstances, she loves everyone, a lovely classic BC!  She is good with cats

Jack will not succeed with heavy handed approaches, instead, he needs direction and guidance that is kind and fair, leading him to enjoy life as an active BC. He is very focused and eager to connect with people. Jack is very very smart and  observant of everything around him, easily influenced by people. He is about 35 pounds and good with cats.
Jack would be happiest as a solo dog or with a female BC who loves to play. He'll be placed in an adult home since he is sensitive and loves a close bond with his person. Jack was in a corgi rescue, thankfully pulled to safety. He originally came from KY.  

Special thanks to Ellen Simcik, LuAnn Heller, Susan Myers, Jane Locacio for helping to transport Jack to the Farm


Genie's Angels
Kathleen and Kelli Rupert  
GENIE: A 3 year old Border Collie, Genie is a happy go lucky, cuddly girl who loves everyone.  She is quick to say  hello, hop in your lap and enjoy attention.  A very loving girl, she also loves to herd other Border Collies and makes up herding games.  She is very smart and attentive and loves to learn new things.  She's also happy hanging with her person, a little less intense than some BC's.  She is a gentle soul who needs a patient home so she can continue to blossom.  Genie came to rescue with Gradie from a PA Amish breeder who no longer wanted her.  She will be placed with another BC or as a solo dog so she can grow into the incredible companion she can be. She is 35 pounds and good with dog savvy cats.

Sera's Angels
Wendy Donoghue  
SERA: A 4 year old Border Collie, Sera is a lovely, sweetheart, a real cuddler. She is very people oriented and loves to be connected with her person.  She also enjoys life in her foster home, happy and content to cuddle up inside.  She is quite a herder and clearly wants to handle the movement of other dogs or sheep, in perfect position.  Sera could potentially work sheep but will need formal training. She could, however,  easily enjoy life as a companion, hanging with canine friends plus she loves toys now and is really enjoying play time.  She favors female Border Collies over males and wants to play with them.  She is about 35 pounds and is OK with cats dog savvy cats. Sera came from TN with the dogs confiscated from a breeder.

SERA was recently tested on sheep and did great. She shows promise so we are hoping to put her on sheep again soon. She could work for someone new to herding who needed help with sheep. Sera listens well though will need formal training to learn commands.

Scout's Angels
Elizabeth Callahan, Tilo & Dogen

SCOUT: A 3 1/2 year old Border Collie, Scout is a blast! He is all action, ready to play ball endlessly and happy to be with his person doing just that. He's sweet, fun, focused and super smart. For Scout, he loves a life where he can use his mind and body together. He'd be a great athlete with an active person and yet can settle down once inside, enjoying affection. Scout adjusts easily to new situations and fits in wherever he goes. He'll entertain himself with his toys, making up his own games, a wonderful guy! He is typical in size, about 45 pounds and fine with cats. He lived in a home where his guardians felt they could not meet his needs. He was abandoned at a NJ shelter that works with GHF and thankfully, he came to us.

FERGIE: A 4 year old Border Collie, Fergie is a loving, affectionate, in your lap girl. She is also a non-stop race and run girl, a whirlwind of energy. She loves the freedom of a great run so needs a good sized yard for sure. Fergie also loves her people so needs someone around to share her life, one on one. Instantly, Fergie will hop in your lap for cuddles and then instantly, hop down for action. She could live with other dogs but could be happy as a solo dog, too. She is smart and eager to learn, very involved with whatever is asked of her. Fergie is about 40 pounds and not good with cats. She's not great with small dogs either. She came from a PA guardian who could not meet her needs and knew a BC savvy person would understand her better.

PORTER: A 4 year old Border Collie, Porter is marvelous, friendly and eager to say hello to everyone. He is an easy, good natured guy who fits in easily in new situations, with people and dogs. Porter is also quite the affectionate guy, loving to be with his person, a major belly rub guy and cuddler. Porter is not intense like many Border Collies, and could easily fit in as a great companion. He does love being with someone though so long hours away from his person aren't his idea of a great life. He would be a fantastic therapy dog.  Porter is everyone's friend. He'd be happiest with another canine friend but most importantly, a person who is his!  Porter is about 40 pounds and fine with cats.  He was a stray in NJ. A special thanks to his angel supporters who helped pay some of the costs of his surgery for a hip fracture.  A top orthopedic surgeon brought him back to full use of his back leg and Porter happily sails around the Farm good as new!

Great Together


SHELBIE & BEBEE: Shelbie, age 4 and Bebee, age 5 have a great relationship of playing with frisbee and ball as well as cuddling with their people. They love everyone and are so good natured, that they are just a delight to be around.  They are both brilliant, energetic, athletic dogs who loves many activities and will retrieve most anything you throw like a tennis ball, frisbee or even a soccer ball!  They both love trail walks and have great recall.  Shelbie loves affection from everyone and will sit at your feet while you scratch behind her ears, or lay down and present her belly to anyone who will rub it for her. She loves the water and is an above average swimmer and can jump six to eight feet out over the water when running to retrieve a thrown toy.Bebee loves people and is happy to say hello to everyone and anyone.  She's very smart and outgoing and loves to investigate all that is around her.  She is curious and will check out new areas thoroughly as she enters them.  She likes to swim and when she does, she enters the water daintily to retrieve a thrown toy, sometimes keeping her back completely dry.  She loves attention and will cuddle up to you and give you kisses as you pet her or scratch behind her ears.  She and her friend, Bebee, play endlessly together and will be placed together.  Both girls are about 40 pounds and OK with dog savvy cats. Shelbie & Bebee came from CT due to a job change that brings foster children into the home.

Max's Angel
the Spirit of The Briard Princess, DeeDee
MAX: A 4 year old Border Collie, Max is an amazing athlete, all about the ball! He's fast, eager to retrieve and ready to run, run, run. He is smart and focused and a classic BC, bonding instantly to the person who connects him to what he loves - the ball. He is also a sweet guy, happy to join in activities around him. He is fine with other dogs but would clearly be happiest with a human partner who is active and ready to 'work' - play! Max is the type of Border Collie who wants to accompany someone in their day, hiking, playing ball and enjoying life as their companion. He is a wonderful dog. He is fine with cats and about 40 pounds. He was relinquished to the Farm due to no time for his needs and the three small dachshunds were overwhelmed by his energy. He lived in one home since a pup.

Holli likes to hang with other Border Collies but could also be happy as a solo dog since she loves to be where people are and she enjoys all the action. Holli is 50 pounds and does fine with cats but best with dog savvy cats since she will chase if they run but will not herd them. She is trained on the invisible fence. Holli is being fostered not far from Harrisburg PA and can be met at the Farm.

Sue Marriner

PRITZI, age 6 and LAYCE, age 3 are mother and daughter who will be placed together.  Both are very good natured, sweet and happy girls. They love to nudge you for attention and happily say hello asking for belly rubs, too.  Pritzi and Layce are very happy with each other, racing around together and quickly enjoying the outdoors. Neither are high energy, intense BC's, instead very easy going inside and outside.  They love attention.  Pritzi can be shy but Layce leads the way, eager for a connection with everyone. They were originally from the south adopted by an upstate guardian who could then not keep them. Fortunately, the shelter where they were abandoned regularly works with the Farm. 

DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

SNAPSHOT: SIX YEARS AND UP - PUREBRED BORDER COLLIES

These border collies are active, playful, eager to be with people and generally very focused on affection rather than toys. They do not have an intense need to work so make wonderful companions for homes who want a brilliant, intuitive dog who bonds instantly but also knows how to relax. They thrive with companionship and will not do well left alone for more than 6 hours a day. Sometimes at this age, a dog who has previously lived alone his whole life prefers to be a solo dog and really enjoys the spotlight.

**Many people overlook this age range because they fear the dog will die before they have had a long life together. The facts are reassuring - most border collies live to 12 - 16 years old and in fact, the oldest dog in the world IS a border collie who is 27, living in England! Odds are, this dog is still working!

Please consider opening your heart and homes to a dog who will really appreciate your love and attention, because YOU are the center of their life.

Milo needs additional angels to help cover a $2000 cost for emergency service to handle a toy lodged in his intestine! Please help us with this extraordinary cost.

MILO: A 7 year old Border Collie, Milo is one of the happiest dogs to come from the TN group - he thinks the Farm is great and life is full of wonderful things - trails walks, play time and other dogs!   His excitement is wonderful to witness.  Milo is a wonderful, thoughtful BC who observes and takes in all that goes on around him. A gentle, good natured boy, he really wants to bond with people he meets and quickly feels secure and happy when it clicks.  Milo is very smart and has the perfect energy level, happy to romp and run or happy to hang and cuddle.  He is very smart and can be sensitive if rushed too quickly to do something he's never done before so he needs a patient person who allows him to keep discovering the cool things about life.   Milo loves his new roomie, Jodi, they are having a blast together because she is so outgoing that he goes along with all the fun so would be happiest with another BC, female ideally, who wants to play.  He is about 45 pounds and is good with cats. Milo is nervous with some men due to the history with the bad breeder so will need a patient adult home to help him feel he is safe. He does well when he has a person to count on and can then take treats and approach men. Milo in foster care in Rochester NY

Jock is very outgoing and has a great temperament. He loves to play and loves to learn. He's super affectionate and friendly though does best with older children since young children make him nervous. He also loves trail walks and swimming. He was adopted from the Farm 6 years ago with his friend, Tarra, and happily plays with her non-stop. They were both returned when his guardian became very ill. Jock was a beloved canine companion and family member to him.

Stan's Angels
-Jennifer Cherney 
-the Morrison family

STAN: An 8 year old Border Collie, Stan is one of the sweetest, most gentle Border Collies we've ever had in rescue. He loves to be with you and enjoys going anywhere you go. He's quite the cuddler and happy to enjoy many belly rubs.  He is smart and focused and loves his new life with toys, always carrying something around in his mouth as he heads out the door to herd the other dogs.  Stan has quite the eye to herd and also now can see beautifully. (His eye condition was treated when he came into rescue)  He is smart as a whip and one wonderful, good natured, quintessential Border Collie, calm and focused.  Stan enjoys being with his daughter, Kellie, but could easily love life as the only dog.  He would love being a constant companion to his person. 

Recently, living on a chain, basically unable to see, Stan THANKFULLY found a new life when the Animal Control Officer contacted us asking for help. One of our colleagues kindly got involved and helped get Stan to us. The GREAT news is that Stan's eye condition - pannus - is totally treatable... it's  a very common condition in Border Collies. He is now on eye drops, which he'll need for life.  We are so thrilled with this great news.  Stan is good with cats and weighs about 40 pounds.

WOODY: An 8 yr old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Woody is all BC - he is smart, tuned in, eager to please and all about the ball!  He would happily enjoy ball play all day as well as hiking.  He is full of energy to play, play, play! He's wonderful off leash for hiking and would accompany his person wherever they go, enjoying racing through the woods, jumping in the water for a swim and a quick ball toss here and there. He is fantastic with other dogs, fitting in beautifully, not interested in much interaction but happy to hang with anyone.  He'd be happiest as the solo dog where he was the constant friend to a person, able to go wherever they go. Woody loves everyone he meets and adjust to new situations perfectly, trusting that life is good and people are great. Like most older BC's that come into rescue, Woody is marvelous, absolutely delightful because he comes from breeding years ago, when care was taken to breed a stable, balanced dog.    The youngsters are great dogs, too but the more mature BC's really exemplify the outstanding features of this breed.  Woody lived in Montana years ago and most recently NY where it turned out he was the cause of allergies in one of the children in the home so Woody had to go.  He was a beloved family member.  Woody is being fostered in NY

FLYN found a wonderful home where he'll be the constant companion to his new FurDad on his organic farm. He'll have 24 acres of fields to explore, a greenhouse and a retail store where he'll get to say hello to all the customers as they visit. Flyn is quite the ambassador to everyone he meets so will now have new 'work' that suits him perfectly. Flyn will enjoy all the staff that works there as well as his new guardians who fell in love with his charming ways and knew he'd be the perfect addition to their lives.

FLYN: A petite 9 year old Border Collie, Flyn is a smart, observant, classic Border Collie, where he takes in everything going on around him and then decides exactly what he should do. In his case, mostly he loves to follow his person right by their side to accompany them wherever they are going. He'd be great to go each day on chores or activities like at a farm where he could do his 'work' right by your side. He is a dream to live with, a really gentle, sweet guy who demands little but that of being a great companion. He is very easy going. Flyn is good with other dogs though does love being the center of attention himself. He is fine with cats. He is about 35 pounds. Special thanks to adopter Ann Gardner who is fostering Flyn in Ct

Storm has been diagnosed with heart disease through Cornell cardiologists so he is on medication now.

STORM: An 12 year old Border Collie with ABCA papers, Storm is a smart , focused, fun guy who loves to be involved with his people.  He is incredibly sweet and always by your side, excited for any toss of a toy or ball. He has the classic BC traits of looking for something to do yet a beautiful ability to relax and lie down when asked to do so. Storm is very eager to please, has great manners inside and out, a brilliant BC. He loves frisbee and ball and is as fast as the younger BC's he's living with at the founder's home. He'd never turn down a chance to catch a toss.  Storm is great off leash and a wonderful hiking partner.  He's lived in one home since a puppy and has been a beloved companion for all his years, leaving a family who dearly wishes things worked out differently.  The toddlers in the home were making him anxious, combined with a move to a hot climate, the guardians felt it was best for Storm to have an easier life. Storm is the first generation born in the states, from Scottish breeders so he has that classic intelligence and calmness combined with the focus to respond to whatever is asked of him...a classic BC! He herds cats obsessively so will go to a non cat home. He is 50 pounds.

LOVING FOSTER HOMES NEEDED

We are looking for loving homes to help with special dogs who need some tender loving care on a foster basis. Whether it is an older dog a bit disoriented from the big change to rescue or a young dog with special needs, we NEED YOU. The Farm can succeed in helping Border Collies by having special people who offer to bring a dog into their lives as a foster family.
 
Please contact us if you can helpsweetbcrescue@citlink.net 
We need homes within a two hour drive of upstate NY 
and also in the Pittsburgh area.


Waiting to come in...
These dogs have been evaluated and accepted into the GHF rescue program.  
They are available for adoption from their homes or shelter indicated - contact the Farm for more info


THE CONNOR HOUSE is open!

The dream of having a place for dogs in recovery who needed more time at the Farm is now a reality. 
The CONNOR FUND
has been completed and has dogs already in residence, all with special needs. Our caretaker, Susan, is now helping these dogs day in and day out, much like a foster home setting, since they live with her in her home. The dogs are doing beautifully and the benefits are clear! We are now able to care for more dogs in need on-site at the Farm until they can be fully ready to go into the barn with the adoptable dogs. 

We are forever grateful to the people who donated the funds needed to build The CONNOR HOUSE. Your desire to help is now making such a difference for these dogs and 
all the dogs who await their new lives while at the Farm

Now, The CONNOR FUND needs on-going operational funds to support the care for the dogs themselves. Whether it be car accidents leaving crippled dogs with no one to help, dogs neglected without proper care that require help from others, puppies that need to be quarantined and special monitoring, or  the dogs with emotional scars that need some extra TLC.......   
we cannot carry the load alone. Please generously support The CONNOR FUND(click here)


SPECIAL HEALING NOW UNDERWAY
These DOGS are currently NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

These dogs will have extended time at the Farm for healing, rehab or socialization


Note: We are putting Frisco in an agility foster home to better shape his  behaviors. 

AGILITY HOME REQUIRED


FRISCO: An 8 month old Border Collie mix (we are pretty sure Sheltie), Frisco is very very toy oriented and very eager to please. He does best with clear direction and will be placed in an agility home with an experienced person. With the right person, Frisco is amazing, so willing to work and is fearless about trying anything new. He needs confidence building around other dogs and some new situations and will sail through everything with ease. He could jump 16 inches in agility, very petite and about 20 pounds. He is a wonderful little guy for the right person who can maximize all that toy drive and shape him properly. He was abandoned in a shelter in VT when the guardians could not handle his needs. They applied Cesar Milan methods, alpha rolling him on the floor, creating anxiety about handling. We do not believe in this approach for highly intelligent dogs who are soft, by nature, and willing to work for a solid relationship. We feel strongly that Frisco can overcome that unfortunate history, based on what we are seeing in his foster home where he plays frisbee and joins in all the border collie games beautifully. He is very happy with his new situation and aims to please.

MINDIE: A 10 year old Border Collie, Mindie is a loving, sweet and incredibly good natured girl. She's had an awful life,  cast off after the death of her guardian until caring neighbors stepped in to get her to rescue. She is a doll, so wonderful about everything, you'd never know she had a bad day at all. Mindie is smart and eager to be with people and gets along famously with other dogs, too.  Mindie loves everyone she meets and is very eager to please. She loves toys of any kind and absolutely loves playing tug. Her foster Mom describes her as a 'feisty sweetie!"  She is carrying extra weight so we're going to help her loose some before she heads out to a new home.  She spent the past 6 years left in a crate in a barn fed by a neighbor, without much human contact at all. The night she was rescued, she had frozen water and a layer of ice on her thin bed of hay. It was truly believed she would not have survived.  We are very happy that Mindie made it to a safe and loving situation, no matter how long she had to wait..  she deserves the best!

Cassy is good with other Border Collies and could enjoy a friend for all her energy. She really wants to interact with a person and needs the mental stimulation and structure of an activity. Her previous guardians did nothing with her so she needs a Border Collie savvy home to really invest time in her development. Cassy is not good with cats. She is about 35 pounds. Cassy came from PA. She is being fostered in NJ and getting a chance to do sheepherding which is helping with redirecting her OCD behaviors.

JUSTIN: A 10 yr old Border Collie, Justin is a really sweet guy, very easy going and happy to explore outside with other dogs or with his person. He's super friendly and affectionate, happy for a belly rub or nudging you to give you a light doggie kiss. He is fantastic with people.  He is also fine with other dogs.  Justin is finally getting a chance to explore the world since he spent the last 9 yrs in a mobile home park that did not allow dogs - so he had very little outdoor freedom and exercise.  He was, however, adored and clearly knows that a special person is exactly what he loves to have in his life. Justin has vestibular disease but moves just fine.  Justin will not hurt a cat but will chase to play so probably best with dog savvy cats.   Justin is 65 pounds and has a longer coat, making him look much larger. Justin was relinquished in MD. Justin is in a foster home in NY.

Special thanks to Karen Del Priore, our Operations Manager, 
who has taken Justin into her home in NY
