Story
Meet Pattie! 🐾 Pattie successfully completed 10 weeks of basic training at our GRC partner location! Pattie is a 1.5-year-old Border Collie mix with a playful, affectionate nature and a bright, eager-to-learn personality. She has a sweet and loving disposition, always ready to give affection to those she trusts. With patience, consistency, and persistent training, Pattie will no doubt improve her skills and become a well-mannered and devoted companion. She has so much love to give and will make a wonderful addition to a home! Although Pattie doesn't seem to mind the presence of other dogs, we feel that she would prefer to be the only dog in the home. The shelter is open Tuesday through Friday from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM, and on Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. A meet-and-greet is required for all shelter dogs if you already have a dog. Thank you for considering the adoption of a shelter animal in need! To schedule a meet with Pattie text Melissa 440-503-5228

Story
Milo is a striking traditional black-and-white Border Collie with a refined elegance and a gentle spirit. While he may take a moment to warm up to new people, he soon reveals his affectionate nature and endearing, playful personality. As a devoted companion, Milo thrives on close connection, making him the ideal "Velcro dog" who finds true contentment by his person's side. He would do best in a home that has someone home (work from home), has a dog walker or can take him to daycare. Milo arrived at the shelter when his previous owner, facing significant health challenges, could no longer provide the care he deserved. Fortunately, his owner invested substantial time in his training, which is evident in his current foster environment. Milo demonstrates impressive obedience, including sit, down, paw, stay, come, and additional commands we are continuing to discover. He has prior experience with clicker training and agility work, and was even trained for off-leash reliability—though we have yet to test this in a controlled setting. These skills position him as an exceptional partner for active, engaged households. Milo exhibits exemplary house manners. He has had no accidents or marking incidents, and he efficiently completes his outdoor routines before promptly returning indoors. He interacts harmoniously with other dogs, showing respect and deference to his foster housemates. During cat introductions at the shelter, Milo displayed indifference, and in one instance, appeared mildly cautious toward the feline. Milo enjoys walks/runs and maintains good leash etiquette. He can become mildly enthusiastic upon spotting other dogs, an area we are addressing through ongoing positive reinforcement training. Travel poses no issue for Milo; he rides calmly and contentedly in the car, often appearing to relish these outings. Due to his innate herding instincts, we recommend a home without children under 10 years of age to ensure a smooth transition for all. We continue to learn more about Milo each day, so please check back for updates. If you have an approved application on file (valid for two years) or have recently submitted one for another dog, we invite you to contact tlb145@aim.com for additional details and next steps. ​​​​​​Come see Milo and his friends on our web page https://www.midwestbordercollierescue.org/alldogs ​Location: Northeast Ohio ​ Contact: tlb145@aim.com

Story
Say Hello to Tucker!Tucker is a one year old, 38 pound, border collie mix looking for a forever home full of plenty of playtime, activities, and love. Tucker is a young pup and very active. Sensitive in nature, he takes a little longer than most pups to adjust to new places and people. He is looking for a loving person, or family, who is able to give him that time to adjust as well as all the exercise and training a young pup like him needs to grow into a happy, healthy adult!Tucker shows potential to co-exist with some canine companions in his forever home, so long as he is given a slow, thoughtful introduction to his pup pals. Due to his sensitive nature, any kiddos in his forever home should be at least 13+. Looking for an active young pup to add to the family? Stop by the Humane Society of Summit County today and meet Tucker, or call (330) 487-0333 ext. 803 for more information!

These pups are in Amherst, Ohio too!
