Glen Highland Welcome to Glen Highland! Visit this page often to keep up to date on current rescues and rescue alumni!

At Glen Highland Farm, people are given an opportunity to see dogs from a different perspective. In our conversations with adopters as well as on our website, we spend time sharing our philosophy that dogs are teachers, offering a way for us to experience simplicity, trust, freedom and life in the present moment. They open our hearts to a greater level of love, which in turn, changes our lives.

NEW GLEN HIGHLAND SENIOR...

Coming soon
Not yet tested on cats

At age 9, ROCCO is a stunning fella as well as quite the athlete. He loves toys of all kinds and will even make up games on his own, entertaining himself. He’s smart as can be and loves learning. Rocco is a huge favorite in doggie daycare where he has gone for 6 years, fitting in easily with other dogs never causing issues though he clicks best with energetic herding dogs. His BFF was a female Aussie who loved toy games as much as he does! But, his real best friends were the staff!

Rocco is very affectionate, outgoing and friendly. He loves attention and engaging with people! He has lived in one home since a pup but now needs a new situation due to a divorce changing the living situation. He has been a well-loved family member and has a great temperament. He is about 45 pounds and originally from a Pennsylvania Amish farm. He is not yet tested on cats.

Rocco will be coming to Glen Highland from South Carolina in approximately two weeks. We’ll update his bio once in Rescue.

NEW SENIORS: JAX & JILL MADE IT TO VIRGINIA!

not yet available
no cats
bonded pair

JAX, age 11 & JILL, age 8, landed at Glen Highland and haven’t looked back, happily adjusting to lots of outside time on all the acreage. Jax is the toy boy who plays a version of keep-away as Jill works hard to let him know she is in charge! All in good play, they are a great pair who clearly have worked out any concerns between them long ago. Their games are well established and they are happiest near each other or exploring together. They both adore people…everyone is their new best friend and cuddling is their favorite inside activity!

Turns out while Jill does boss Jax around, she was a pup arriving in the home when Jax was the older one. He obviously decided having a supervisor was ok! They are not related at all yet both very tall Border Collies, likely from the east coast we have been told. Note the picture of Jax at the fence with a 40 pound Border Collie.

The guardians passed away a year ago leaving Jax and Jill in the care of a family member determined to keep them out of a shelter. The living situation meant the duo had no yard and only leash-walking so it made sense they should have a different life. Previously used to roaming four acres of their own, we can easily see they are very happy now!

Jax and Jill are best as a solo pair since Jax has some issues with other dogs. He also will chase cats though Jill is fine. Both have some weight to knock off which will be easier with more activity - once trim, they are likely to be around 50 pounds. Their labwork is all good without issues. We are however, investigating joint issues for both since their gait is unusual. Once those results are in, we’ll update their bio.

Jax & Jill came to GH from South Carolina.
A huge thank you to Michael Strauss; Ann Miller & Elvin Atkins for moving them to us in Virginia.

GH ALUM UPDATE:

Hi Lillie,

I meant to send this the other day. I wanted to tell you about our day!

As you know, Monday was Blu’s 17th birthday!

Hard to believe it’s been 7 years since then. Blu is so special to us, all love, and he’s brought us such happiness. He came into our lives at just the right time, and has been by my side ever since. Where I am, Blu is. He doesn’t ask for anything except to be by my side. And I love it.

I’ve attached a picture from his special day. I stopped short of putting the hat on him again this year as he gave me that look of “once was enough last year”. He said he’d rather sit next to it!
This is after our day spent together for a walk in the reservation where he met a nice man who wished him a Happy Birthday, lunch of his preferred dish of McNuggets (no sauce!), strolls around the neighborhood saying hello to the neighbors, and a steak dinner.

Lillie it was such a wonderful day, I didn’t want it to end. I know you know how much Blu means to me, and what a special boy he is, but every year I still like to tell you how thankful we are that you brought Blu into our lives.

Thanks,
Bonnie

MIDWEST BORDER COLLIE: LAYLA

We wanted to help our rescue colleagues, Midwest Border Collie Rescue who are looking for a special spot for a 7 year old female, LAYLA...

Prior border collie or working/herding experience is required to adopt Layla, as this special girl definitely needs a home with a job, a solid understanding of the breed, and lots of patience.

Layla came to MWBCR as a stray from rural Iowa. She is a high energy freight train on four legs, but is totally content to be a couch potato, as long as she gets enough exercise throughout the day. Her foster mom currently ensures she gets two or three 30-minute exercise breaks per day - her very favorite workout is chasing the spray from a garden hose!

GH ALUM UPDATE:

It will be one year this month and it seems like yesterday. This girl became a member of the pack within weeks. Even though this was supposed to be a temporary landing spot my husband was the one to advocate for her to be permanent.

She's still a goober that makes me laugh and she even has Maggie playing like a youngster. She has worked hard this year learning the skills to keep her safe and fulfilled. She has her STAR puppy title, a Canine Good Citizen, Novice Trick and Fit Bronze. We're trying agility and scent work. Time will tell.

Thanks for telling me "go get that girl"

GH ALUM UPDATE!

Thanks for the anniversary card! It’s been 11 years. Jack is the “favorite” of all the grand kids, who clamber to be the one who walks him. He is very patient with the younger dogs in the house. They get fun chase games going each morning outdoors, some ball play and he naps quite often throughout the rest of the day. His health remains stable.

He couldn’t be more loved💕
Steve and Mary along with Jack, Syd and Elvis

BEAU & SWEETIE HOME!!

The adorable duo Beau & Sweetie arrived as a surprise pair of Aussies landing at Glen Highland. They quickly attracted attention of their new guardians who spotted them on our site as they searched for a Senior Border Collie. They had previously had an Aussie and a Border Collie so jumped at the chance to meet both of them!

The day they were posted on the site, we received their call and they drove the next day, totally thrilled to find their new family members. End of the week, they all came back to bring them home! These lovely dogs will be front and center on their new journey, totally cherished. Lots of walks ahead, car rides, toy play and cuddling on the couch…all of which will suit them perfectly.

Beau & Sweetie now live in Virginia…thanks to the generous help of volunteers who transported them to us as quickly as possible from KY…keeping them out of harm’s way. We are thrilled to have opened the door for a new journey for these two and are so glad we could help.

GH ALUM UPDATE:

Hi Lillie!
Warm greetings from Key West, FL! Liberty is doing well and we just celebrated her 14th birthday! 🥳 She is still alert and spunky and remains ever loyal no matter where our military assignments take us.

She accompanies us on our playground walks and keeps an eye out for roving flocks of ibis birds. She has been such a loyal and loving companion to our family and she is even beloved by neighborhood kids too.

Sincerely,
Bethany
