Story
Bentley is the sweetest, cuddliest guy around. He would love me to sit and cuddle all day if I could. Unfortunately, with our busy schedule, I don’t have time for him and he tries to get out of the gate as he might be looking for me when I leave. He’s very nervous and feels most relaxed when we are home. We have other dogs and I think it’s adding to his anxiety. He just wants a peaceful place and someone more available. It will be very difficult For me to let him go, but for him it will be best.

Story
Border Collie femaleWelcome Derby from Tulare County Animal Services. Another world class, compact border collie found as a stray but now on to bigger and better. Derby is a 2 year old, 30lb, female border collie. She is insta-glue! Very sweet and social with people and great with other dogs. Unfortunately, no cats - we learned quickly that her instinct to chase was alive and well out the gate. She was quick to get on a routine - sleeping through the night in a crate, going potty where she’s supposed to, and snuggling as we watch the sunrise and drink our morning tea. Have we mentioned adult dogs are the best? She LOVES chew bones & toys and seems to be very appreciative to be indoors and have a dedicated person to follow around. She’s so biddable and snaps to attention when you call her over or give an “uh-uh” or “shht” if she’s doing something she’s not supposed to. Derby is going to make an amazing companion for a border collie lover! Derby is located in Arroyo Grande, CA. Microchipped, spayed, and UTD on vaccines.

Story
Border Collie, femaleEmber is a 4 year old, 27lb Border Collie/Cattle dog mix. Her story begins in heartbreak — and hope. After her owner unexpectedly passed away, Ember was left alone outside during cold, stormy weather. In her time of need, firefighters at the neighboring station stepped in, offering food, comfort, and kindness until help arrived. Ember is safe in foster care, thanks to some Good Samaritans who saw a plea for help on Nextdoor and stepped up. She is settling in, and showing everyone just how special she is. She’s gentle, soulful, and incredibly grateful for every bit of love she receives. After everything she’s endured, Ember is searching for a home where she can feel safe, cherished, and never left behind again. She is spayed and UTD on vaccines and located in Stockton, CA.

Story
Border Collie maleWe thought he was a done deal! But Tarzans foster decided he is not a fit for this household. She is happy to hold him while we work on this. Tarzan is 3 years old, and trusted in the house unsupervised. He's fantastic with the family and coexists with a couple other hounds, who would rather Tarzan stay a guest! Tarzan went in to foster care very sweet, and loving with everyone the humans and their other dogs loved him! As Tarzan got comfortable, he started claiming the adult human female in their house. He wants her all to his own self. He is good with other dogs, if you have friends with dogs or take him around other dogs. He would just be a perfect only dog. A lot of times we need a dog to be in a home with dogs. So here a good opportunity for a one dog gig! The foster is recommending a no cat home as well. But he's great with kids and all people. Tarzan is in Orange, Ca. More photos and updates:  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1622189228742725&type=3 Interested in Tarzan?
