Bea has been a little social butterfly while she's here this week so this is the best I've gotten so far.
Bea is great with dogs 🐶, cats 🐱, kids 🙋‍♂️, and strangers. She's another one who could walk into your home and fit right in!
Bea is only a year old and would love to be in a home where she's the pampered princess 👸

This guy's perfect home has got to be out there somewhere!
Cliff has been with us FOUR years. Four years he's been waiting for someone to give him a chance.

In a lot of ways he's the perfect companion. He adores his humans. He is absolutely the biggest snuggler in my kennel. He's usually the first to come in for meal times and always requests a scratch before going in his crate. Cliff is loyal to a fault. He's my, unwanted, backup in the kennel yard. If someone is being inappropriate and they are spoken to, he is often there to back me up with his own "knock it off dude."

He needs time to warm up to strangers but he's an "I'll hide back here" dog not an "I'll get you before you get me" type.

Cliff's biggest hold up over the years has been his, now mild, reactivity and resource guarding. That said, I find Cliff INCREDIBLY easy to manage. He has a solid drop it and leave it. I feel comfortable taking anything from him at this point with zero fuss. He will still communicate "mine" to other dogs over high value items however it does not escalate as long as the other dog respects his request. Cliff's escalation is mostly noise and again, easy to shut down with proper supervision.

He would be an amazing hiking, camping, or walking companion for a confident handler after some bonding time with his person.

Please help us find Cliff his forever home. He deserves better.

Note from Sarah -

Friends - we are in crisis mode. This morning two of our partners asked us to take three dogs. We are stuffed full. We cannot assist without additional homes stepping up to foster or adopt. You know I’ll do my best to place an appropriate dog into your home for foster, and semi-short term Foster’s are welcomed. Please consider. I’m saying no every day and it’s really wearing me thin. If you’ve considered adopting, now would be an excellent time. I’m not sure we have a dog that I would not enjoy living with.
If you are unable to assist with foster
or adoption, please consider a donation. Just $5 can make a difference. If everyone who follows the page gave $5 that would be more than $85,000!! Thank you for considering.

Peg's been offered to several families so why is she still here you may ask? 🤔
Because she's 6 years old.

To many she's a bit out of their age range because she's not a young adult any more.

However six is the perfect age for a new border collie!

Peg's done with all of the foolish puppy shenanigans, but still has the endurance and ability to go for miles of walks/hikes. This girl is a happy, sweet ready to go partner who is looking for her other half.

Peg is great with dogs and while she enjoys a playmate she would also be thrilled to live with her attentive human as her companion. Peg's great with people and is usually the first one to meet you at the gate.

Consider giving Peg a chance 💕 Age is just a number after all.
