Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fred is very smart, loving and loyal 4-year-old tricolor border collie mix who unfortunately needs a new home.  He was originally adopted by someone from a shelter in DC.  They were not experienced with the breed and gave him to another family who love him dearly but do not have the time or resources to provide him the attention, exercise and training that he needs and deserves.  After all this change, he is still a very loving dog.  He takes treats gently, he is good on a leash, settles well after outings, and will chill in the house with his person(s). Fred enjoys other dogs; he is playful with all types and sizes. He does well at daycare and at the dog park. His current family loves him very much but are hoping to find an experienced, patient, consistent and loving family or person who understand and have experience with the highly intelligent and active border collie breed.   He is a sensitive dog and needs time to adjust and trust. A quiet/peaceful yet active home environment would be great. He loves sniffy walks and post-walk zoomies, followed by chilling out near his person(s). He is very sweet once comfortable but suffers from separation anxiety and has some fear anxiety with new people, but once he know his person he is very gentle. One of his previous owners worked with a trainer with good success on the separation anxiety and occasional aggression when his boundaries were not honored by a new person, which shows that Fred is willing and able to learn what he needs to in order to be a great canine citizen.  He already knows SIT, LEAVE IT and LETS GO. A family or person who have the time and environment to work with Fred and give him a happy and fulfilling life will be rewarded with a devoted and loving special companion. A trainer reference is available. PLEASE NOTE : THE DOG LISTED IS SHOWN AS A COURTESY TO ANOTHER ORGANIZATION OR FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO NEEDS TO FIND A NEW HOME FOR THEIR DOG.

Lucy's puppies are ready for their forever homes. Lucy is a sweetheart and her puppies have taken after her in great personalities. Lucy weighs 45 lb and so we expect the puppies to weigh about the same. They are all healthy, sweet, playful affectionate pups. They have had all three of their puppy vaccines, rabies, spayed and neutered. These would make wonderful companions for any medium sized Lab / Border Collie/bird dog mixed breed loving family. There are five girls and two boys.Please include ypur phone number when inquiring about these puppies strayheartsrescue@outlook.com https://forms.gle/suhbpui9RXiVmvoJ9

Story
Callie is a 2 year old female Border Collie mix who weighs around 45 lbs. This beautiful girl is as sweet and friendly on the inside as she is beautiful on the outside. Happy and social, Callie adores the company of people of all ages, as well as other dogs. She truly enjoys playing and interacting, but is not hyper. Her foster family says she is an excellent house guest and enjoys everyone she meets. Callie arrived at the shelter as an unclaimed stray. Shelter volunteers just knew this gorgeous, smart girl would be claimed, but no such luck. She is ready to make a new lucky family a dog of a lifetime.  Callie is spayed, fully vetted, heartworm negative and microchipped. Our pups come with one month of free pet insurance when you adopt. If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website at https://packleadersrescue.com/adoption-application/

Story
I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request to help me find the right placement for a very special dog named Fred. I adopted Fred six weeks ago, and although we have formed a deep bond, it’s become clear that he needs a level of behavioral support and consistency that I cannot provide in my current living situation. Fred is a tricolor Border Collie mix, approximately 3–4 years old and around 50 pounds. He is sweet, sensitive, intelligent, and deeply affectionate once he feels safe. He plays wonderfully with other dogs and settles beautifully in a calm home environment. He is good on a leash and settles well at home. Fred does have some fear-based reactivity toward unfamiliar people and separation anxiety. However, it’s important to emphasize that Fred has shown meaningful improvements in these areas with the right training and handling. His former owner did foundational work with him, and since coming to me, he has continued to progress. He is truly a love and wants to please.
