play and happy to meet anyone and everyone. He is full of energy so would
be best living with other dogs. We will know more about Larry once he
comes to the Farm but he can also be met where he is being fostered
temporarily in Freehold, NJ. If interested, please contact
the farm. |

SAGE & JORDAN: A
wonderful duo were adopted by caring guardians who have patiently waited
for Sage to get healthy in order to bring her to their home. They just
felt drawn to be with her and then upon meeting Jordan, decided that this
twosome was a perfect pair to have in their lives. Sage perked right up,
following Jordan all around, happily 'flirting' in her sweet way and
Jordan just felt right at home having a shadow. Trixie, their first dog,
found herself in the middle of a literal three ring circus except this one
was calm considering both Sage and Jordan are real cuddle bugs happy to be
with their people and without interest in chaos. It was a truly sweet
moment to see all this unfold and we are so happy that these two now have
a great life forever and very very happy that they will grace the hearts
of their new people. Their new guardians recently lost their beloved
Beau/Brody, adopted from the farm two years ago. While playing ball
in a park, Beau leapt up, hyper-extended to catch a ball and tragically
broke his back. A tremendous loss. We know having these two sweet souls,
Sage & Jordan, will help heal that loss.
SAGE:
A petite 13 year old Border Collie, Sage is very gentle, content to lie in
the sun on her bed or wander in the paddock, smelling grass and watching
the other dogs. She really likes other dogs and is adorable with them,
eager to meet everyone. She is a very pretty girl with beautiful white
eyelashes, making her face look quite special. She is partially deaf so
sleeps a bit later than the other dogs but she is full of spunk and rather
comical in a happy go lucky way. She is living in our adoption office so
it's not so chaotic which seems to suit her just fine. Sage was very sick
when she first arrived and is now healthy and happy. Her eyes are bright
and she is full of charm, a remarkable little Border Collie Sweet
Sage was wandering the streets of Pennsylvania when she was picked up by
Animal Control. We are happy that the Shelter asked us to help because
leaving this gentle soul in a shelter just wasn't right. |

JORDAN: A 3 year old Border Collie,
Jordan is a character, full of charm and affection, ready for belly rubs..
he'll lay down for a belly rub anytime and anywhere! He is a bit comical,
too, always checking out everything and anything going on, then checking
back with you to make sure all is well...it's his version of work. He doesn't
seem too interested in toys yet, it's more important to make sure all
things are in order that are occurring around him...he's full of charm!
Jordan is very friendly, a little bit timid at first, then very eager to
have lots of attention and happy to give it back, too. He is good with
other dogs but could also be happy as the solo dog, as long as his people
were around.. he loves being in relationship with someone. Jordan is not
yet tested on cats, is about typical in size for the breed, approximately
40 pounds. He was a stray in western NY.

Charming Chase found a
unique forever home...he's in the Coast Guard! Well, not literally but
more or less because he'll be with his new guardian 24/7 at a Merchant
Marine Academy joining him for his duties on the Search and Rescue
Team.. there's even a possibility that Chase will have his own Coast
Guard life jacket and go out on calls! Chase also has a great four
acre yard for exploring when at home and will get to do lots of hiking!
Chase now lives in upstate NY.
CHASE
is a 3 year old Border collie. He
is active, playful, easy going, and laid back. He loves to be outside
playing fetch. Chase is
obedient and knows basic commands such as sit, shake and down. He is
curious about everything around him. He is a very affectionate dog.
Chase is happy to be with people and will tell you so by giving you lots
of kisses. Chase is a strong dog, mixes with all dogs but would be best
with a more easy going fur friend. Chase
needs another young dog for play and also a good sized
yard for running or a similar space for his
energy. He is fine
with cats. He weighs approximately 40 pounds and is trained on the
electronic fence system. Chase was
rescued from a shelter in Scranton PA.

in MA. (picture to come)
REO: A petite 10 month old Border Collie, Reo is a fun loving, happy
guy and ready to run and play with other dogs. He just loves to race and make up herding games so would do best with another young Border
Collie. He is very sweet and affectionate, happy to have attention and content to sit for pets and love. Reo is young and very playful so
would do best with teenage children rather than little ones. He is good with cats. Reo is petite, about 35 pounds.
He was relinquished to a Reading, PA shelter due to his puppy actions with little kids. |

Sweet Scout found his
forever home right where he is being fostered. A very special Border
Collie, Scout has emotional needs that linked him to his new foster family
in such a strong way that it was clear that it was meant to be his new
home. He has two Border Collie friends for life, Dillon and Pegi, who came
from the farm, and two great kids who think he's the best buddy to have! A
gentle, shy dog, he has blossomed already being loved so much. Scout lives
in upstate NY. (picture to come)
SCOUT: A gorgeous 2 year old Sable
Border Collie, Scout is a loving dog who is happiest around people. He is
very friendly with everyone he meets and very good with other dogs. He
loves to run full speed sprints and then come back to lay by your side.
Scout could live with other dogs or be the solo dog but needs a home where
someone is home most of the time. Scout is good with cats but needs to be
with dog-savvy cats since he likes to herd them. He is typical in size for the breed, about 40 pounds. Scout was a
stray in upstate NY. Scout is being fostered near
Rochester NY and can be seen at the Farm. |

Sweet Spenser found his
forever home with special guardians who understand the patience and care
needed for this sweet dog. They have another dog from the farm, Bella, and
are ready to add a third and just felt drawn to Spenser. They have two
wonderful young dogs, a fenced yard and someone home all the time so
Spenser will be well cared for and completely adored forever! Spenser now
lives in upstate NY.
SPENSER:
A 9 month special needs pup, Spenser is a gorgeous alert boy who
absolutely loves dogs and is learning that people are really wonderful,
too. Spenser also has a special need beyond love since he is deaf so he
will need someone who understands the simple things needed to live with a
deaf dog. He is doing well with his foster family and welcomes visitors
(human and canine) when they come. He is very social with all dogs, is
fine around cats and loves horses. He is progressing with hand signals and
has begun the equivalent of clicker training with a vibrating collar.
Spenser shows an incredible aptitude for agility and is doing tunnels and
the dog walk with no hesitation. He does need to sleep close to his people
at night for reassurance. He crates well and loves riding in the
car. Living with a deaf dog is not that different from any hearing
dog, it just requires some adjustments in using visual cues and commands
rather than typical sounds. Spenser is a very smart, incredibly sweet dog
who will be a loving companion for a special person. He will only
be placed with other dogs, hopefully a younger one, since he has tons of puppy energy to play, play, play. He
will also be placed in a fenced yard only, not electronic fencing.
Spenser is being fostered in CT and
can be seen there or at the Farm.

Sweet Dell found his
forever home with wonderful guardians and a unique situation where he'll
be with the Mom all day while the daughter goes to work so he'll never be
alone! He will have two homes and twice the love! He'll also have a fur
buddy, a fun young lab, Jake, for toy play and even get to try some
agility for fun, too. Dell jumped right on the couch for lots of love and
gave his vote of approval right away! Dell now lives in MA.
DELL: A 3 1/2 year old Border Collie, Dell is a sweetheart. He loves
people and wants to be with them, happy to say hello to everyone he meets. He is eager to please and very interactive so would thrive with
training or any activity where he could work in relationship with someone, accomplishing fun goals, like in obedience or agility. He
also loves to play ball. Dell would be happy as the solo dog. He is also good with cats. Dell is about
5
pounds overweight due to his last home situation where he lived in a tiny yard with a caretaker who had no time for him. His original
guardian had died so someone stepped in to care for him but then realized he needed more.
Dell came to the farm from Kingston NY. |

Sweet Bailee found his
forever home with another Border Collie the same age so they will have
tons of puppy play! They both were quite a match, rolling around,
grabbing, jumping, inventing games only they could make up! Bailee will
also get to try agility for fun. Bailee's new guardians understand
Border Collies and love everything that makes them so brilliant, which
Bailee is! Bailee now lives in CT.
BAILEE: A spirited 6 month old Border
Collie pup, Bailee is full of energy, ready to run and play and loves
toys! He also likes other dogs and would be happiest with another young
dog for fun and handling his energy needs. Bailee is very smart, alert and
eager to interact. He is toy focused and could easily do agility or other
sport activities. He has all basic obedience commands and also loves to
swim, fetching sticks and balls. He is
about 30 pounds, typical in size for his age and not yet tested on cats. Bailee
was living in a condo in CT and obviously needed more of an outlet for
exercise and attention so was relinquished to the farm.

Lovely Coco found her
forever home with a wonderful woman who broke into tears upon seeing her,
just delighted by her sweet face and lovely nature. She recognized this
gentle soul as a companion for life, as did Coco, who happily rolled over
for belly rubs. Sweet Coco won't have to sit in a home alone for 16 hours
a day ever again! Coco now lives in upstate NY on 83 acres and her very
own farm, complete with horses and chickens and two caring humans.
COCO: A 6 year old Border Collie, Coco
is the sweetest girl, truly loves people and affection. She is friendly
with everyone she meets and great with other dogs. She is also very smart
and eager to participate in any activity. Coco's original home was very
sedate, where she was left alone for 16 hours a day with little exercise,
so like many people we know, she put on some pounds and will be loosing
them here at the Farm since she is more active. She loves to play and run
with the other dogs. Coco responds beautifully to any request and is a
very obedient, happy go lucky girl. She is also good with cats. Coco
came from a shelter in Pittsburgh.

Marvelous sweet Myles
found his forever home with two wonderful, fun loving dogs, Padma &
Molly, who came to Camp this summer and enjoyed dog play with the camper
dogs so much, that their furmom said adding another dog was the right
thing to do! So, returning for a visit made it crystal clear that Myles
chose this new home as much as they all chose him... rolling and wrestling
and playing with Padma, his new playmate for life! Myles now lives in
upstate NY.
MYLES: A 3 year old Border Collie,
Myles is a gentle, sweet playful dog. He is happy to be with people and he
is also happy playing with toys or other dogs. He is easy going, not high
energy but needs an outlet for his mind and body like walks or toy play
since he is a young dog. Myles has not yet been tested on cats. He is
about 45 pounds (looks a little bigger with his fluffy hair). Myles
came from a shelter in western NY where he had been confiscated, having
been chained outside.

PATCHES: A 3 year old Border Collie,
Patches is a sweet, friendly dog, happy to be with people. She is good
with other dogs and cats and has lived with children. Patches is good
natured and playful so will benefit from an active home. She is currently
being boarded in a kennel due to medical reasons where her guardian can no
longer care for her. She is in the Philadelphia PA area, waiting to
come into the Farm rescue program. If interested before she
arrives here, please contact the farm directly to meet her in PA. |

ROSIE: A 1 year old smooth coat Border
Collie mix, Rosie is a character and full of charm. She is not only
uniquely beautiful, she is spirited and fun. She absolutely loves toys of
any kind and especially loves to push the large purple ball around the
paddock, entertaining herself and everyone else. She is great with other
dogs and most definitely would love a young fur friend to pal with,
especially her friend Wes. She would also do best with teenage children rather than young ones
since she is a bit mouthy as a youngster. Rosie is about 40 pounds,
typical in size. She is good with cats. Rosie came to
a NJ shelter as a 4 month old pup, was adopted out and returned recently
due to her energy level. The shelter asked us to place her since her
behavior was so clearly border collie. |
ROSIE & JESSIE went
to a new home together, a sweet duo full of affection and tons of
personality. Rosie will now have her own little boy for constant ball
playing and Jessie will have a loving home that understands her curiosity
with everything and anything from all her days on the street, learning to
search to survive. These two were paired together while Wes has been
facing a health challenge and it turns out they sweetly played together
and quickly developed a great bond. Rosie and Jessie now live in upstate
NY and of course Rosie got to take her big purple ball!
JESSIE:
A 8 year old Border Collie, Jessie is a character, friendly, full of spunk
and curiosity. She absolutely loves to check out everything under the sun
and especially will search for anything that seems like food. She is also
very adorable as she trots along at a very quick pace, with her ears
flipping up and down, tail wagging and legs literally lifting in a perfect
trot. She is just a gem. Jessie also loves people and is great with other
dogs. She is good with cats. She is about 45 pounds, typical
in size. Jessie was a stray from a shelter in upstate NY. Often
stray dogs are naturally quite focused on food so her new guardians will
have to be patient when she creates some mischief searching through the
house a bit...it will lessen with time once she understands her meals will
always be there.

Spenser found his
forever home with a camper who came to Glen Highland Farm in the summer
with their border collie, Ruby and decided adding another dog would be a
great idea. Upon meeting Spenser, they felt his sweet good nature would be
just the perfect addition to their lives. Spenser now lives in Pittsburgh
with guardians who love the breed and love him.
SPENCER: An 7 year old Border Collie,
Spencer is a friendly, easy going dog who gets along well with other dogs
or could be fine on his own. He loves to run, jump and play and is happy
to go lots of places visiting at the dog park, friend's houses and of
course PetSmart! Spencer is obedient and eager to please. He does love to
be the center of attention so will need lots of love. He is a nice
boy, house and crate trained. Haven't tested him with cats. He
comes when called and knows "sit". Spencer doesn't
have the classic herding traits. He is quite content to
eat, sleep, play tug and be wherever his person is, sitting next to them. Spencer
is being fostered in Pittsburgh PA and can be seen there but will be
adopted through the Farm.

Sweet Barney found
his forever home right where he is being fostered! No surprise to us in
a way because when they picked him up the first day, they said this one
won't be going back! Here is the email about Barney today: "Once
again, as you might have figured out, the complete family o' Fitzgerald
has fallen in love. Yes, we have fallen under the spell of Barney
and his quiet acknowledgements of affection, and his head butts for
pats. I know it is a lot to ask, but is there a possibility he
might become a forever Fitzgerald? Five dogs- we must be nuts- but
I swear, once you get to 3, it is over anyway- what is one more?
You're still vacuuming hair, cleaning accidents and most importantly,
given the privilege of knowing and loving another gentle
soul." We are so happy
to say that Barney is staying in this loving home, forever safe, never
to be cast out for any reason. Thank you Margaret and Mike for loving
this boy and the other two you adopted from the Farm! Barney now
lives happily in CT.
BARNEY: A 3 year old Border Collie
mix, Barney is a sweet, loving dog who completely enjoys people as well
as belly rubs. He is a gentle guy who also loves to roll around on the
ground and enjoy the outdoors. He has had an unusual history before
landing at the Farm. Barney appeared on our courtesy listings in Feb
2002, was adopted privately to a local family near the Farm. With
courtesy listings, we are not involved, but in an odd twist of fate,
Barney was recently taken to our rescue vet with the request to
euthanize him. At the time of his adoption, he was completely
healthy, a happy one year old. Roll the clock ahead, and Barney is now
an overweight dog, lethargic and suffering from an injury leaving him
unable to walk which is why the adoptive family wanted him euthanized.
After extensive vet
|
| work - a full bloodwork panel, heartworm and lyme
test, as well as bringing him up to date on his shots, turns out Barney
has a torn cruciate, meaning his kneecap is literally torn, unable to
support him. The surgery for cruciate repair involves placing a lateral
nylon system around the knee to restore his ability to move. This
procedure is fairly common, though requires extensive rehab.
Barney is now going to a foster home in CT with one of our adopters, the
Fitzgerald's who kindly offered to love him back to good health. We feel that Barney most definitely had an
angel on his shoulder the day the adoptive family took him to our vet
because their normal vet would have euthanized him without concern. Her
compassion saved his life, led her to us of course, which meant as a
team, we can give Barney what he deserves - proper health care and
eventually a new home. This time, Barney will be in our rescue program,
fully protected for life in the event any other mishaps occur. Our
contract is a lifetime agreement for follow-up to insure the dog is safe |

Tazz found his forever
home working geese day in and day out in NJ and enjoying a life with two
loving guardians who enjoy his brilliance and clever antics. He now
happily has an outlet for both!
TAZZ: A
3 year old smooth coat Border
Collie with papers, Tazz is terrific! He is playful, energetic and
up for fun at any time. He loves being with people and he also loves the
soccer ball! A big toy boy, Tazz happily plays all day, if someone wants
to join him. Otherwise, he is happy to be with other dogs, making up
border collie games. Tazz is a very smart Border Collie and will be best
with seasoned Border Collie adopters as he needs to be mentally challenged
as well as physically engaged. Tazz is good with cats and has been
introduced to agility and herding during the camp weeks and excelled at
both, eager to participate. He is typical in
size for most border collies, about 35 pounds. He was relinquished
to a shelter in Media, Pennsylvania due to his energy levels.
