Border Collie puppies and dogs in Hayden, Idaho

REGGIE Roxy (all black) is a 2 year old female that was found with her last years’ puppy, Reggie (white face) 1 year old female, living under a car in a rural area. They were taken to the pound and it was there that they discovered Roxy was very pregnant. Unfortunately none of her babies survived and she has been spayed. These girls were scared to death at the shelter, so much that the shelter was ready to euthanize. We were alerted that they needed a rescue to get them out and we said “YES” and gave them their “get out of jail free” card. Both are now spayed and current on vaccinations. Just getting these ladies out of the shelter and into a home, they have completely made a full recovery. Roxy loves to run around and is more independent than sweet Reggie. Reggie stays pretty close to you wherever you go, happily wagging her tail. Both girls will come back when called and we are working on potty training. They are very smart so I have no doubt it won’t take long. They get along with all the other dogs at the rescue and all people. They are just sweet, happy, loving and mellow little gals.

A super handsome stock dog mix. Housebroken and great with other dogs. Rescued from a house fire and named by the firefighter. No owners came forward to reclaim him and he spent over a year at a rural shelter waiting to be adopted before we pulled him in to Rescue to do a better job promoting him and getting him a forever home

Borador puppy. Born Sept 2024. We were moving to a bigger place and plans ended up changing. He needs more room and a more energetic family. My toddler isn't adapting to him well so he needs to be rehomed soon or we'll have to take him to the shelter

Meet Leia! Leia came to the Mission from our friends at the Post Falls Animal Shelter. She was found as a stray with her presumed brother, Luke! Unfortunately, no owners came forward so they are both seeking their furever homes! Her estimated birthdate is 2/7/2023.  Luke and Leia can be adopted as a pair, or separately. They are currently being fostered in separate homes and are doing well, but if you were wanting a lovely pair of brother and sister goofballs, these could be your next pups!  Leia is the more timid of the two, and is nervous around new people. She warms up quickly, and will accept treats. She is not fearful-aggressive, so she is unlikely to react with aggression in situations of fear. Instead, she tends to cower and lower herself to the ground in an attempt to make herself small. However, she warms up in a matter of an hour or two, and will quickly approach new people for affection or treats when she's had an opportunity to sniff them out. Leia shines with other dogs - she absolutely loves to play, and is very gentile with her introductions. Once she knows the other dog, she may push their buttons in an attempt to engage in play, but she takes corrections well.  Leia is great in her kennel and walks fine on lead. She is house trained.  Leia would enjoy an acitve home where she can run and play. Frequent walks, hikes, bike rides, frisbee, and things of that sort will be great activities to help wear her out physically. She'd enjoy mental stimulation as well, such as freeze treats or puzzles.  She is neutral to cats, and her gentle nature will make her a good match up for a home with children. When people think of adopting a great pet from the shelter, Leia is the kind of dog they're thinking of.  If you are interested in adopting Leia, the first step is to submit an application at www.murcismission.org! Her adoption fee is $200 and she comes spayed, microchipped, dewormed, and vaccinated. She will come home with her medical records, a temporary ID tag, and a leash/collar. Thanks for checking out our girl! ##2298749##

Meet Luke!  This large breed gentleman came to Murci's Mission with his presumed sister Leia from our friends at the Post Falls Animal Shelter, when they could not locate their owners after finding the dogs as strays. Luke's estimated birthdate is 2/7/2023. Luke and Leia can be adopted as a pair, or separately. They are currently being fostered in separate homes and are doing well, but if you were wanting a lovely pair of brother and sister goofballs, these could be your next pups!  Luke is a gentle giant who just wants to give love and play with other dogs! He's a powerful guy with an immense amount of strength, so he will need a bit of brushing up on his leash manners, but he's already making great progress! He's an incredibly sweet dog who just wants a family of his own.  Luke would be great in a home with an active lifestyle and he enjoys being included, but hes also very good at hanging out in the yard and surveying the lands. He would enjoy long walks, hikes, and possibly more advanced sports once he has a bit more training under his paws. He is s fun dog and could likely be as active or relaxed as his family required on any given day.  He is great with other dogs, but it is unknown how he would repond to cats. Due to his gentle temperment, we believe he would do well in a home with children hearty enough to withstand a little bumping around.  Luke is mastering his potty training skills as he currently enjoys the occasional sprinkle of tinkle inside, however we are working on this behavior in is foster and he should resolve asap once he understands being inside a home. He is excellent in his crate.  Luke comes home vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and will have his medical records with a temporary ID tag/collar/leash. His adoption fee is $200. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application.  Thanks for checking out our guy!  ##2298748##

Meet Benny The Jet Rodriguez!   Benny is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see information below in the “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” section).

We are currently taking applications for Benny, and he will be able to go home with an adopter after his neuter surgery on or about February 20, 2025. Benny has just arrived at our rescue and is settling into a foster home where he will begin potty, leash, and obedience training. We will be learning more about Benny in the coming days, so please check back for more information! In the meantime, Benny is spending his days romping, cuddling, and getting lots of playtime, love, and new adventures with his foster family.

Follow your heart to The Babe! Meet The Babe! The Babe is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see information below in the “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” section).  The Babe is the mama of our Sandlot litter; she and her four puppies traveled from the Brazoria SPCA in Texas to the PNW area for a second chance at life after landing on the euthanasia list. Born in January of 2023, The Babe is a mixed breed (best guess is Border Collie and Pointer), medium size dog with black and white markings and sweet, friendly eyes.  She is a friendly, affectionate, loyal, playful, and brave girl looking to join your team. To quote Babe Ruth in the Sandlot, follow your heart and you’ll never go wrong. That’s how we feel about the adopter who chooses The Babe. This mama has a heart of gold and loves people and toys. Shortly after arriving at our intake, The Babe scoped out all the toys and quickly selected a few favorites! She adores playing Tug of War with the teens in her foster home; after a bout of playing, The Babe likes nothing more than to settle in for a good cuddle. While she prefers to snuggle with a person, she’ll burrow into a soft, comfy blanket if that is the only option.  The Babe is a five-tool player! The Babe is potty trained; she sleeps through the night; she is fully crate trained; she has her basic obedience down (with a treat incentive); and she is learning how to walk on a leash. A social, curious and confident gal, The Babe has gotten along very well with all the new dogs she has encountered since her arrival (including the border collie in her foster home) as well as kids (she hasn’t been cat tested yet, and we will update this when she has). This talented, darling girl is ready to be the star of your team! The Babe’s ideal home (team)? She would love to play for you with a no-trade clause. This delightful girl seeks a home where she can love and be loved in return. She is eager to please, and she wants nothing more than to earn your love and praise. The Babe would enjoy play time, walks with you, and lots of snuggle time. Dogs and kids would be great, too; the more, the merrier for The Babe. Everybody gets one chance to do something great, says Babe Ruth in the film. Maybe adopting our Babe is something great you can do! Want to meet The Babe?

1-2 yr old neutered male, very sweet. High energy, excellent with other dogs and all people. Knows basic obedience, but still very excitable on a leash. Working on housetraining, probably lives outside with little interaction most of his life. Super food motivated and very eager to please, loves praise.

Beautiful boy, housebroken, great with other dogs. Obedient and would make an excellent jogging partner. Rescued from a rural shelter where he'd been for over a year, after being left behind when his owner was jailed.
