The talented, wonderful character we call Minna found a new home recently with our frisbee instructor from Camp Border Collie & Friends.  He had initially seen Minna during the camp week when she was adopted and said he'd take her in an instant if the camper didn't take her...well, his wishes came true when Minna came back to the Farm due to personal reasons.  We quickly told him she was again available so she had a home within seconds. We're proud to say that not only will Minna become a talented frisbee dog, but she'll also be doing therapy work with Fly-n-k9 USA, performing for children in hospitals and other educational venues.  She joins her new guardian's other dog, Spirit, shown with her. The Fly-n-k9 team has logged over 20,000 hours of therapy work.  For anyone who has met Minna, especially children, it's clear to see how destiny led her to her new life!!!!  Minna will be coming back to Camp Border Collie for Kids and showing us her wonderful ways for years to come!  Minna received her Canine Good Citizen certificate too!  Minna now lives in upstate NY.

MINNA - petite Minna is a 6 month old purebred border collie with the unusual blue coloring complete with white tipped ears. She is a wonderful little girl, with lots of spunk and curiosity and eager to bond with someone instantly.  She grabs toys and wants to play all the time, joins in with the other dogs, racing and running around the Farm and most of all, lands in your lap or by your side for lots of affection.  Minna is very, very alert and will probably be a typical border collie, active and energetic and she is very smart.  Minna is about 22 pounds and will always be fairly small. Minna is not good with cats. Minna would be fine as the solo dog in a home or mixing with more submissive dogs. Either way, she will need a physical outlet for her mind and body as she is fast, smart and very agile.  She'd be incredible in flyball or agility.  Minna will need to be in a home with an electronic fence system since she can dig and climb most fences fairly easily but will respect the invisible fence. Minna was a stray in a shelter.

The big bear-like Smitty found his forever home with a wonderful couple who just felt his sweet nature belonged in their life.  He has another doggy friend, a 120 pound German Shepherd to play with, 10 acres of wooded countryside and guardians who are home most of the day to enjoy him.  Smitty happily hopped into the front seat and rode cuddled in their laps all the way home.

Brilliant Murphy found his forever home in a fabulous adult home, on 60 acres where he can run, play and explore til his heart is content.  His new guardians loved his calm nature and gentle ways and felt he would fit perfectly in their family.  Murphy will be hiking and playing, basically loving the country life, living in Connecticut.  Murphy had just gotten a Border Collie Angel from our final summer camp so all that good energy obviously helped 'pull in' his new home!

(Chazz was abandoned in a kennel for 2 months after living in a chaotic life with a heroin addict so gets nervous with change)

CHAZZ:  A 3 1/2 year old purebred Border Collie, Chazz is wonderfully affectionate, loving and happy to be with people interacting with him.  He is a classic Border Collie, alert, observant and sensitive.  He doesn't like a lot of commotion and prefers the routine of a fairly stable home.  He's great with other dogs, enjoys playing and would probably feel most comfortable with another dog or with someone who was with him most of the time.  Chazz is not good with cats and is in need of lots of love and TLC since his former guardian abandoned him at a kennel due to their problems in life.  Chazz was relinquished to rescue after a month's stay in a kennel.

A 4 year old purebred Border Collie, Mickey came to our attention one day in a literal 'do or die' situation...  Mickey's elderly owner was going into the hospital and the family had to find a solution for Mickey that day. Just as they were to take him to a local shelter, a family member read the newspaper and saw the article about Glen Highland Farm.  That meant Mickey found us and also found his new guardian, the person who agreed to foster him.  A few fast phone calls back and forth and everything happened within hours.

  A REAL ANGEL ARRIVED!!  Every now and then at the Farm, we are so inspired by what happens that we are certain that Angels are real! Dawn's new guardian is one such angel because Dawn has issues that prevent most people from wanting to adopt her.  Relinquished to us for nipping a child, Dawn has a pattern of nipping anyone she does not know, not biting but nipping.  Obviously a very special person would tackle this but our belief was that if Dawn could work, her anxiety and frustration would end ( a very common belief among trainers that frustrated working border collies develop aggressive behaviors since they are living as a family pet rather than working)  Dawn's herding instincts came alive at the Farm and she lived to herd the other dogs non-stop, 24/7 so when her new guardian called to adopt her for geese herding work (3 times a day) and was an animal control officer, we were thrilled.  With seasoned skills to develop Dawn's trust as well as handle her as a working dog, Dawn went to her new home in  New York!

Nanna is such a loving, friendly dog that she would make a wonderful therapy dog...she doesn't jump up on people; is very calm; eager to say hello to everyone; and happy to be sitting with you for hours on end!   Nana was a stray taken in for three weeks by a caring animal lover who then gave her to rescue.  Nanna is being fostered in Ct.
