UPDATE: PONCHO IS ADOPTED!!
Meet "Poncho"! This boy will be 2 yrs old in November and is an ABCA registered, smooth coat border collie. He is very breed typical (which we love) and will do best with a border collie experienced owner. He has alot of bc energy but, if he gets needed exercise, play and training, he is very content to be a couch, lap buddy and a ride along dog.
Poncho gets along with other dogs and just needs a minute to get accustomed to meeting them. He cannot live with a cat because, true to his breed, he's a herder at heart and wants to chase a cat that wants to run.
He loves people and will do fine with kids but, because of his energy, small kids are not a great fit for him.
Poncho is neutered, up to date on shots, housebroken and on heartworm prevention.
He is being fostered in the Memphis area. His adoption fee is $375 and, as we always do, we will require a fence.
If you're interested in this special boy, email us at [email protected]

Coming to us soon... "Poncho". This stunning boy is a 23 mth old, ABCA registered border collie from working lines. He has had some preliminary sheep herding training and is trained on several basic obedience commands.
He is coming to us because, although he lives on a working farm, his thing is really just to hang out with his people. He has no real interest in a herding career. He loves kids, other dogs and cats.
Poncho's ideal home would be with experienced border collies folks who would love to take him everywhere they go.
Stay tuned for more information soon.

UPDATE: Both of these boys have found homes!
Both of these one year old male border collies are in a middle TN shelter. They are brothers and they are still just puppies. We know they don't look groomed, their coats aren't shiny and their surroundings aren't appealing but they need help.

UPDATE: REESE IS ADOPTED!

Here she is! This is "Reese". This little border collie baby girl is a ball of energy and fun and now ready for a home.
Reese is believed to be a purebred border collie. She is about 14 weeks old and up to date on her vaccines and heartworm prevention.
She is the perfect girl for someone looking for a energetic, playful, cuddly girl, water loving girl in a baby bc body.
Here's what her foster says, "Reese is a social butterfly who does not shy from meeting new people or new dogs. She loves to cuddle once she has burned off some energy. She is a very active pp that will do best in a performance home or with a very active family. She is up for most anything (especially if it involves water)"

Remember us telling you about this boy.... "Dodge"? Here is his story and now an adoption update. This is our favorite kind of story.
His story: Dodge is an approximately 3 yr old border collie or close mix. He was abandoned by his owner in AR. For weeks, he just slept in the front yard of the only home he had ever known. Wonderful neighbors would feed him. He would seek shelter from storms under nearby structures. When he did see people out and about, he would trot over to say hi and try to follow them home. Just looking for a family.
Someone brought him to us thin and scroungy from hunger, neglect and abandonment. He was heavy heartworm positive and had a face full of bb pellets from someone's cruelty.
He had the most wonderful, tenacious fosters that would not give up on him. They have taught him the joys of being a dog, playing frisbee and cuddling.
He has secured a place in their hearts and will be their dog forever.
Happy life Dodge🥰🥰

UPDATE 10/28
We picked up these dogs today. All three are just stunning red coated, amber eyed border collies. Very sweet, lots of herding drive. So glad we could save them. If you would like to donate to their care, donations can be made via PayPal at www.bordercollierescuewesttn.org.
Urgent help needed for three, 7 mth old border collies. They are going to be put out on the road on Sat if help can't be found.
These pups are red/white border collies. They were dumped near some land in Jackson, TN. Because they are border collies, they started herding the nearby cows and now the landowner wants them gone ASAP. We are trying to help while they still have time. If you can foster, please email us at [email protected]
