We've made our goal! Thank you everyone who has helped LUCAS in his quest for legs that work! We have made our goal now and feel comfortable we can cover his needs going forward. Updates will be coming as he grows up with additional surgeries ahead. The pins are coming out this week so we hope for more success in next endeavors in physical therapy. THANK YOU FOR THE

BROOKE's
puppies are available for adoption |
|
| We are presently reviewing
applications to schedule appointments for the 26th & 27th. We have
absolutely no idea what the mix could be so aren't even going to guess.
We've seen many puppies look one way at this young age and develop into
totally different looking adults so this is a mystery for sure! Mom is
obviously the sweetest BC on earth. She has no herding tendencies or BC
eye so she, herself, could even be a mix but we don't know that for
sure, either. What we do know is that if her pups are any bit as
delightful as she is, they are going to be remarkable friends to some
very lucky people.
(Photos from a recent "field trip"!!) |
 |
| The pups will be 8 weeks old when available for adoption. They have met numerous people and been handled by children as well as adults. They are interacting with the Foster Mom's adult dogs so canine socialization is going well, too. They are only 5-7 pounds though the pictures make them look much larger. Most of them have blue eyes or at least one blue eye which may change as they get older or since Brooke IS blue-eyed, may stay the same. | |

into action. His thick coat makes him look much larger than he
really is. |

what she wants…she can be cuddly one minute and then busy getting into
mischief the next. She loves people and she loves her toys. She's
a bit larger than the other pups. |

ROXY: A 1 year old Border Collie, Roxy is a doll. She is super friendly and sweet as can be, so eager to be with someone. She is ready to learn and take direction, happy to follow the lead of her person. Clearly, a loving girl, Roxy will be a wonderful companion. She needs an active home to handle her energy needs and herding drive so sports would be a great outlet for fun. Roxy is a charmer, winning friends as soon as she meets someone. She loves other dogs and would be happy with a BC buddy who can make up herding games with her. She will chase cats so is best in a no cat home. Roxy is about 40 pounds.

CODY: A 1 year old Border Collie mix, Cody is a curious, good natured, happy boy. He is ready to say hello to everyone and explore everything around him. This energetic boy is eager to please and loves to try new things, especially happy to connect to his person. He is smart and focused though not overly intense like a purebred.

   |
BRADY: A 1 year old Border Collie, Brady is all about playing with dogs.. he loves all the games of wrestling, chasing and playing. He's also a focused ball boy, happy to race after a throw and play again and again. Brady is shy with new people so will need a calm life with patient guardians, ideally in a more rural setting, not a noisy densely populated area. He will need confidence building exercises so he can more easily greet new people. He is really blossoming at the Farm and letting go of his worries, especially when paired with confident dogs who give him the cues to follow. Brady is a sweetheart, gently coming up to your side for affection and belly rubs. This gentle boy thrives with help of a person and a canine friend. He is about 35 pounds and not yet tested on cats. He was relinquished directly to GHF from guardians in Maine who felt they could not meet his needs. |
  Special thanks to Gordy Trombley, Kim Stumph and Cat Gareth for getting Brady to GHF. |

ROGUE: A 1 year old Border
Collie/Cattle dog (mix is unsure), Rogue is a loving, people oriented girl
who wants to be with her person. She is super-friendly and happily enjoys
all the attention anyone lavishes on her - she gives it right back! She's
a really good natured girl who now needs a new home more suited to her
energy. She currently lives in a townhouse without a yard so she cannot
get enough exercise so her guardians feel someone could provide a better
life. She is very smart, has basic obedience commands and knows lots
of tricks, too. She is very food and toy driven, so learns quickly.
Rogue lives with a cat and gently plays with him. Her only
concern is other dogs since she was attacked by a dog when younger, so
gets very nervous meeting new dogs so will need help in this area if
living around other dogs in a neighborhood. With the right guidance,
Rogue's lack of confidence with dogs that causes her to feel overwhelmed,
could be improved.
We met Rogue and she passed our temperament test beautifully but bringing her to the Farm with so many other dogs, would cause a lot of anxiety so we are helping to find Rogue a new life directly from her home to a new home. She is a petite gorgeous girl. ROGUE is in Rochester NY and
can be seen there. Contact Sarah Thompson |

BENN: A 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, Benn is gorgeous to watch running and run he did, soon as he landed at GHF! He is loving the freedom to glide along at full speed and cut and angle with turns that would tobble any dog other than a BC - he is gorgeous to watch! This speedy boy is also a sweet, loving dog who wants to enjoy all the affection you want to give. He also loves to join in with other BC's making up herding games and clearly will love having a young friend. Benn is smart, observant and curious, one happy boy. He is about 40 pounds and is ok with dog savvy cats. He had been a stray in PA, picked up by the pastor in town, handed over to the guardians who gave him to the Farm, having had him since this past fall. Ben was tied out to a dog house though given some freedom to run, he is clearly thrilled to be here. |

BROOKE: A 2 year old Border Collie, possibly mix, is a sweet, good natured girl. She is so friendly and so easy going, she just slides into a new situation like she's been there all her life. A lovely personality, Brooke also enjoys the company of canine buds and rapidly decided that Flip and Chip were fun! She's quite the chaser and racer though not showing the intensity of a BC or big toy focus, it's more dog to dog play that makes her happy. She is quite the cuddler with people and won over everyone who met her during the transport to the Farm. She came to our attention in a MD shelter because she had an injury to her front leg. Soon as she arrived at the Farm, it was clear that old injury didn't stop her whatsoever, so she's ready for adoption. Brooke is about 35 pounds and good with cats. |

She's focused but not overly intense, more willing to do whatever you are doing, a go everywhere with you kind of girl! She loves to swim and likes the kayak and is great in the car. Meg was originally purchased as a pup to do geese chasing work which is why she's used to water and the car however she wanted to be close to the handler and not work at a distance so she's come to GHF to find a loving companion home. A better lover couldn't be found…she's eager to please and loves everyone. Meg does enjoy playing ball and has great recall off-leash. Meg is best with dog savvy cats since she will chase them.

   Special thanks to Linda Whitman who drove the entire way from Maine to the Farm to be sure these two could be in rescue at GHF. |
Henry & Dee
Angels Linda Whitman & Sky  HENRY,
age 4 & DEE,
age 2 are both gorgeous, smart, attentive Border Collies. They love to run
together and clearly have a good relationship since they've lived together
since puppies. Henry is the ball boy and Dee enjoys herding him, which he
doesn't mind. He's quite an athlete, ready to play and retrieve balls.
Henry is also more confident than Dee, who is a bit shy, especially with
new people. She is super sweet and curious though, relying on Henry's more
outgoing nature. Both of them are very easy going and good natured, not
overly intense BC's at all. Henry loves everyone, thinking life is
all about the ball of course! He is about 50 pounds and Dee, about 40
pounds. He will stalk cats so is best with dog savvy cats. Dee is fine
with cats. We'd like to place them together. Both
came to GHF from a Maine relinquisher who could not meet their needs. |

KEADING: A 3 year old Border Collie, Keading is a great girl with a wonderful nature. She is adaptable to new situations and once comfortable, very friendly. She can be a bit timid at first but throw the ball and she's your best friend! Keading is really enjoying all the BC action at the Farm and happy to be around people who understand her needs to play! She loves throwing her toys around, entertaining herself, making up games if you are too busy to play. She also likes to swim and even went kayaking in her former home. Keading is very affectionate and enjoys being with her person. She is good with cats. Keading is about 40 pounds and came to GHF from a PA guardian who could not meet her needs. |
 |
Sometimes
there are unexpected detours with adoptions and that's what happened to KEADING.
She recently went to NJ to a new life with one person but had some issues
with dogs which ironically led her to meet her new FurDad who fell in love
instantly. He spoke up that he would love to live with Keading and could
provide a fabulous life, if it turned out, she was heading back to the
Farm. So, Keading did come back to GHF and one week later, he came for
her! She now has 140 acres to call her own, accompanying him 24/7 with his
landscape business. He loves to hike and kayak and so does Keading so this
twist of fate gave her an even better life than anticipated where she
would be 'queen of the ball' with all the attention she could ever want!

little girl as she prances around. She gives play bows, as she gets ready
to get the 'zoomie's, very cute to watch. She is extremely people
oriented, quite the cuddler and is so eager to please however she does get
worried meeting strangers at first so will only go to an adult home. If
you help Chloe with introductions to new people, she will do well. Chloe
will only be placed with a skilled BC savvy person. She is
not overly intense inside, curling up inside on her bed, happy to
hang with her person. Our volunteers have spent time overnighting with her
and describe her as hilarious, making funny little sounds as she sleeps and
stretched out like a cat! She will be happiest as a solo dog since
she is not good meeting other dogs, at this time. She is good with cats and is about 30 pounds. Chloe

He is a very responsive boy, eager to please and connected instantly to anyone who understands his needs. He's well mannered and orderly about how he handles life, a classic thinker. However, he needs someone who really loves to play ball cause clearly that is a huge part of his happiness. In his previous home, he was the center of attention until the household changed with young children in the mix. Ross is a serious BC so toddlers make little sense to him so he does best with older children and in an adult home. Ross is carrying extra weight from less exercise recently. He is good with cats. He was relinquished to the Farm from a PA guardian who had him since a puppy. |

A
6 year old Border Collie, Wyler is a gorgeous guy who is likely to be your
shadow wherever you move. He really wants to be with a person but is a
little unsure if everything is ok cause he's a shy BC. He will bark
meeting new people and need help from a seasoned BC savvy guardian. Bring
out his toys and he LOVES to play, especially with the jolly ball! He'll
need a quieter home where everyone is patient as Wyler takes chances to
come out of his shell for attention. He loves to retrieve any ball -
soccer or tennis balls and he is very very loving with his person and
likes being near. He walks well on a leash and rides well in the car
but would not be a good candidate for a chaotic, suburban setting.
He is about 45 pounds and is good with cats. He was a stray in
PA. An
adult home is best for him since clear direction and guidance is
important.
He is more nervous with men and will need a woman in the home for
him to do his best, at first.

A 6 year old Border
Collie, Robbie is a smiler! He loves life and wants to be in the middle of
the fun, wherever it is! At first, he is VERY nervous and will need a
positive approach to showing him that he is safe with someone new. It's
harder for Robbie to be comfortable with men than women so he will only be
placed with a skilled, patient BC person. He loves to make up his own
games with toys, happily entertaining himself tossing them in the air. He
is funny and sweet but does have a very sensitive side and needs to gain a
person's trust before he can be comfortable. He is about 45 pounds and
good with cats. An
adult home is best for him since clear direction and guidance is
important. He is more nervous with men and will need a woman
in the home for him to do his best, at first. Robbie

 JAZ is the leader, the catalyst for motion. You throw, she chases and that's what she loves the most. Focused, smart and attentive, she's got all the traits of a classic BC. Jaz is an incredible frisbee dog, turning mid-air to catch whatever is tossed her way. She loves to play and she also loves people, a very friendly high energy girl. A very responsive girl, she knows how to have fun! She is good with cats but since Simon isn't, they will only go into a "no cats" home 
  |
Simon and Jaz Angels Lynn and Larry Adelsohn SIMON and JAZ,
both 6 yr old bc's, lived on 5 fenced acres as the constant companions to
their guardian. They are absolutely terrific with people, very eager to
say hello to anyone and everyone and they are great with other dogs. They
were very well socialized and befriend everyone they meet. This fabulous
pair are great friends, loving life, happy to share their charm and
brilliance and joy of having fun, BC style! Both athletic and playful,
they need an active guardian who adores this breed.
|
 SIMON is a thinker, paying attention to everything around him to decide whether it's ball time or not. A bit sensitive, he likes some reassurance before he joins in the action. But, he LOVES his ball and makes up games with Jaz as they both are toy dogs! He's happy to have attention and also happy to entertain himself. He is not good with cats.  
|
|
| These gorgeous BC's found themselves homeless when their guardian died tragically. Fortunately, provisions were made for them to come to GHF since Simon is a GHF alum, from when he was a pup. | |

other BCs and could have a friend or be a solo dog with someone who is
active and understands his needs. He is about 35 pounds and not good with

10 year old Border Collie, Russ is a bit camera shy but normally, is super
friendly, happy and eager to give a little hello lick on your face. He's
adorable. This petite fellow is great natured and great with dogs, too,
happily herding everyone who races after a ball. But, he's also content to

outgoing and thinks life is just great! Russ is smart, focused and very
athletic, racing around like a youngster. He is great with other
dogs as well as cats. A super affectionate cuddler, he is so easy to
enjoy and live with. we are doing a full work up on him of course.
Since Russ came in from a rough situation, having been found laying in the
road, we did radiographs of his entire body and found no injuries
whatsoever. He also had a geriatric screen: full chem panel, thyroid test
and urinalysis and everything is normal. We did a dental cleaning on Russ,
too. Thanks to all the angel support, we were able to cover all
these costs and Russ is clearly ready for a new home! His
hair is growing back quickly and he looks quite handsome now. Russ
came to us from PA. |

 Sweet,
marvelous RYE found her new life with one of our winter volunteers
who came back to meet a dog she'd stayed with in the adoption rv. As
things happen sometimes, their dog just didn't click and soon as Rye came
out to say hello, THEY did!!!! Both were happy to greet each other and
clearly made a great match instantly. Her new FurMom and FurDad love the
ball oriented BC's so Rye will love her new life - lots of ball play! And,
she'll have gorgeous meadows and woods for long hikes and walks, which Rye
also loves. We're thrilled for this special girl to enjoy the love of new
wonderful guardians and companionship of a BC buddy, too! She now lives in
Rhode Island.
RYE: An 11 year old petite Border Collie with ABCA papers, Rye is a doll. She is the sweetest girl, just full of charm and lots of love. She's quite the cuddler too and enjoys sleeping right by your side, making sure she's as close as can be. Rye really LOVES to play ball, happy to race around and retrieve as long as you'll throw. Of course, she's a frisbee girl, too, incredibly athletic leaping to get any toss thrown her way. Rye is very focused when it comes to ball time and easily relaxes inside with her person, happy to be by your side. She is a classic BC through and through, just wonderful. Rye is good with cats and is 35 pounds. She was relinquished to the Farm from her NY guardians due to a move. |

Jack's Angels -Shane Smith and Jeffrey Doucette with Danny, Nicole and Molly -Elizabeth Weilhoefer, Justin Waytowich, The Nason Family & our BC Bogey -Cathy & Steve Bouck & GHF Alumni Mika & Cassy -Sue Hastings and BC Corbin -Peg & Mike Fuller JACK:
A 12 year old Border Collie, Jack is so cool - he loves life - running,
chasing, exploring, playing ball, greeting everyone with his distinctive
bark. He adores people and will take all the attention and affection you
are willing to give. Jack is a trooper for sure, he sailed through
his heartworm treatment – his attitude was and is- that everyday is a
day to be lived and enjoyed. We're thrilled to have Jack here at the Farm,
agreat inspiration to everyone. He is smart, super sweet, ready to stay by your side, in tune with you and sharing his heart and his goofy smile. This incredible boy is agile and active even with some bum back legs (from falling in a hole years ago). He loves toys of any kind and will happily entertain himself if you are busy. He is fine with cats. Jack came to GHF after his VA guardians foreclosure. He was father to many litters over the years. |

| PAIGE is temporarily unavailable |
  Special thanks to the people who helped get her to GHF; all driving very long distances, on short notice, were Linda Grotzinger, Carolyn Vallese, and Susan Myers. |
PAIGE: A 3 year old Border Collie, Paige is a beautiful girl who loves to say hello to everyone. She has a sweetness to her that draws you right in, wanting to get to know her. She's clearly a smart girl who wants a person to call her own. Paige was unfortunately stuck in a PA shelter for two months so needs time to run and move freely, finding relief in being in a normal setting. We're confident this lovely girl will blossom beautifully with some time at the Farm and then be ready for a new home. She was a stray. We'll update Paige's bio with updates as she gets settled. She is about 40 pounds and not yet tested on cats. We don't yet know how she feels about other dogs in her space so are giving her some time to relax after the highly stressful shelter experience and will then start dog introductions. |

needs 3 Angels to help us repair his injured leg. click here to learn more |
| Toby's Angels Linda Whitman and Sky TOBY: A 7 month old Border Collie,
Toby is a cute little guy who just happened to be in the wrong place at
the wrong time and was hit by a car. Fortunately, his fate turned around
by being at the right place at the right time with a vet who knows GHF
from one of our Intake Coordinators. The vet called right away to see if
we could help because Toby's PA guardians had no money to fix his busted
back leg so euthanasia was about to be his fate.
Thankfully, good news comes from a tough situation and Toby will have a better leg once the surgery is done - a femoral head removal - common in hip injuries. Recovery should be very good and he'll have total use of the leg, pretty close to normal. We are happy we could help Toby and so glad that his destiny kept him in the right hands to be safe. He is undergoing surgery on Monday the 6th and will travel to the Farm once he's recovered. |
Special thanks to Ellen and Andy Simcik for keeping Toby content while healing!!!! |

Charlie's Angels -John and Bonnie Yurga - In Celebration of Jasmine's 1st Anniversary -Lisa Vaughn -John and Stacey Van Slyke -Nancy Zenko in memory of Jake CHARLIE:
A 12 year old Border Collie, Charlie is a sweet guy who is quite the
thinker, making sense of all these dogs and all these new people. He likes
the company of people, wanting to be near you inside or following you
around outside. Though he's a more conservative boy, needing time to
reflect and take in his surroundings, when he warms up, it's a gift that
will make you smile, he loves to give gentle kisses on your hands. Charlie
is a doll and at this age, doing beautifully with all this change
especially considering he rarely left home and he never went to a vet.
Charlie enjoys meeting all the other BCs and seems pretty content with all
these new friends. Charlie is ok with dog saavy cats. His PA
guardian had to move to assisted living, leaving Charlie in need of help.
Family members stepped in, contacting GHF for help. |

Bentley's
Angels
Bentley came to GHF when his NY guardian landed in the hospital with a terminal disease. He lived outside all his life with two other dogs. With laser treatment and anti- inflammatory meds, Bentley's degenerative disc disease can be managed. Aside from this challenge, he is in good health with solid bloodwork, thyroid testing and urinalysis - a full geriatric screen gave him a good bill of health. Bentley is about 40 pounds. |

Thanks to Linda Whitman, Skip is resting happily on a brand new bed just for him! and his tennis ball, of course! |
Skip's Angel Linda Whitman & Sky Sue Hastings and BC Corbin SKIP
is 15 years old - the OLDEST (& WISEST) Border Collie to ever land in
rescue at GHF and we're honored to have him here! Oh boy is he sweet, fun
and full of spunk!!!! A true testament to the fact that BC's age
beautifully. Bright-eyed as ever, Skip is trotting around the Farm having
a blast exploring. And, he was the first senior to decide that digging a
snow-stuck tennis ball, was worth his time and of course, it was! He's a
ball boy for sure.
Skip is enjoying life inside the warm Farmhouse Sanctuary now, something he has NEVER done before. He was tied outside all his life, nothing any of us would want to see happen. However, he was loved and there were grandkids in the family who played with him all the time. Skip rode in the pick-up truck as his FurDad's best friend. We are absolutely thrilled to have SKIP here and surely hope he decides that a couple more years of life is his to enjoy. His vet work looks good so far, amazingly good. We'll do everything possible to enhance Skip's health and new life at the Farm. He is a resident Sanctuary BC, sharing his amazing spirit with everyone who visits. More updates to come on SKIP...the Senior Elder of the gang now here. Skip's person could no longer care for him so he was abandoned in a shelter in PA that works with GHF. |

will live out his life at the Farm, due to health challenges. ANGELS NEEDED PLEASE…. We have a lot of vetting to do for Jake to be stable and properly cared for and need your support… please be Jake's angel! click here to learn more |
   Now that Jake's BC Buddy, Megan, found her home, he's moved to our GHF office as the new resident for day and night, hanging with the team as they work. He may move to the Farmhouse Sanctuary with the other senior BC's but we want to take it slow so he's not overwhelmed. For now, Jake seems pretty content with his new digs! Jake is deciding that being the office dog is intriguing.. He's starting to go in and out on his own, exploring his new yard! |
Jake's
Angels Please say hello to our oldest rescue Border Collie ever - age 16 1/2! JAKE: At 16 1/2 years old, we are amazed that Jake is here to share his spirit with all of us. He's surpassed Skip at age 15, the senior of the Farmhouse Sanctuary. This breed is stunning in how long they can live! This Farm boy is long lived, with good genetics, from the days when over-breeding didn't happen. Stable, sweet, curious and good natured along with the strength to endure, that's Jake. He came to us in rough shape when his former guardian aged with dementia and was unable to care for him properly. When the man died, a caring friend stepped in to be sure Jake and his partner, Megan, found their way to safe haven at GHF. Jake's had his first bath, one of many to come to get out years of dirt and muck. Fortunately so far, his diagnostic vet work is showing he's in good shape, awaiting a few lab results. Jake is a bit confused with this change, so we'll have more pictures to share as he gets settled. At 1 year of age, he was hit by a car and lost a front leg so getting around is not so easy but we are starting to see some tail wags! We're rooting for Jake to blossom here and enjoy some more time sharing his wonderful spirit. |
 A special thanks to Jean Terrell for helping insure he landed at GHF. |
