Story
I'm Bandit, and I'm on a journey to find a forever family that will appreciate my loyalty and dedication. While I've had my share of challenges, I'm working hard on becoming the best version of myself, and I'm ready for the next adventure in life. I was surrendered to Dog Tales because I was protective of my family. It takes me some time to warm up to new people, but I've been putting in the effort and making lots of progress in my training. I'm a smart pup who's eager to learn and please my humans. I need a family who is committed to continuing my training journey, and I promise to give it my all. With the right guidance, I know I can be the best companion you've ever had. I can be selective with dogs, so it's important that any potential canine companions are a good fit for my personality. Plenty of playtime and fetch sessions are a must—I absolutely love playing with my people. I'm always ready for the next adventure. Whether it's a game of fetch, a hike in the woods, or simply enjoying quality time together, I'm up for it. I'm excited to share my love, loyalty, and intelligence with a family who will appreciate all that I have to offer. If you're willing to invest time and effort into helping me become the best dog I can be, then I'm ready to be your dedicated companion. Together, we can create a future filled with love, training successes, and exciting adventures.

Border Collie

Male, 7 yrs 9 mos

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This energetic boy is looking for a confident and active owner. Bairn is high energy and loves to keep busy! He enjoys going for runs, long walks, swimming and cuddling with his people. Bairn thrives with constant training and loves to learn new things - he is such a smarty pants! He is reactive to new people, dogs and some vehicles; he will need to be walked on a muzzle as a precaution. Bairn’s reactivity is decreased greatly with a combination of: draining his energy, always keeping distance from triggers, positive reinforcement for good behaviour, and constant training on his walks to occupy his mind and keep him in control. Bairn will need a dedicated owner to continue this with him long term. Bairn is not friendly with new people and will need slow controlled interactions when introducing him to a new person. Once he can trust you, he is a lovable and goofy guy. Patience and understanding can go a long way with Bairn and, in time, he will prove he is the best boy! He is only suitable in a house with a fully fenced yard with no small children or other dogs.

Flawless

Border Collie

Female, 1 yr 1 mo
King City, ON
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Flawless was surrendered to us from an extremely neglectful situation. She spent the first few weeks in the hospital being treated for an infected wound on her paw and on a re-feeding schedule due to being emaciated. This is an experience no puppy should ever have to endure. Fast forward to now, Flawless is thriving. She is healthy as can be, her coat is luscious and she has filled out. She is ready for her forever home. She is extremely high energy, she loves to play fetch and learn new things. Flawless has been getting better with dogs with slow introductions, and instead of being fearful and reactive (as she once was) she engages to play with dogs and is very curious. She will still require slow and controlled introductions with dogs. Flawless is as sweet and cuddly as can be with people she is familiar with. She is a good listener and will follow you like your shadow. She gets extremely attached to her people. With strangers Flawless can be very reactive and wary. It takes her some time to trust people. She will require slow and cautious introductions. Her ideal home would be with someone that does not have visitors often, and when they do they are prepared to work on building relationships. It will take time and patience for her to make friends. Flawless could possibly go to a home with another dog after a few meet and greets at Dog Tales to ensure they are compatible. She would do best in an adult only home with someone that is home often.

Story
Raya has a story that’s as heart-wrenching as it is inspiring. One look into her soulful brown eyes, and you’ll see her longing for a family who will fill her world with love. Diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot—an extremely rare congenital heart defect affecting all four chambers—Raya’s condition is, unfortunately, beyond the help of surgery or medication. Most animals with this diagnosis live only up to two years, and we anticipate that within six months, Raya may face congestive heart failure or sudden cardiac arrest. Her heart condition has also prevented us from further investigating deformities in her hind legs, which give her a unique gait but add to her charm. Raya would thrive as the only pet in a quiet home with no stairs, where she can enjoy peaceful days filled with love and care. Could you be the one to provide Raya with the comfort, affection, and joy she so deserves, for however much time she has left?

Story
Quick Facts Name: Kiko Age: 3 years old Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Border Collie Mix Colour: White & Black Weight: 17kg Height: 60 cm (to the shoulder when standing on all fours) My Story I'm Kiko, a sweet and resilient 3-year-old Border Collie mix with a heart full of love and a spirit that shines as brightly as my black-and-white coat. I'm a handsome, medium-sized boy weighing 17 kg (37 lbs), standing about 60 cm tall at the shoulder. My journey hasn't been without challenges-I was found in 2021 with a suspected hip fracture from a car accident. Despite this, I was described as "beautiful, gentle, and patient" in the shelter records. My hip healed on its own, and now I'm healthy, neutered, and ready to find my forever family. I've come a long way, and my loving personality has only grown stronger. My Personality I'm a friendly, social pup who loves everyone I meet! Whether you're a familiar face or someone new, I'll greet you with a wagging tail and maybe even lean in for a cuddle. I'm gentle and patient with kids, making me a great companion for families. If you pick me up or scratch my belly, I'm all yours-I'll happily roll over to show my trust and affection. My calm, affectionate nature makes me a joy to have around. My Social Side I'm a social butterfly with dogs too! I enjoy meeting new canine friends, especially those around my size, and I'm polite and playful when saying hello. If another dog gets too pushy, I prefer to steer clear rather than engage in any drama. While I haven't had much experience with cats, my easygoing and adaptable personality suggests I could learn to coexist peacefully with them. I'm a well-mannered, harmonious companion for both people and pets. My Energy Level & Walks I have a moderate energy level that makes me the perfect balance of active and relaxed. I love outdoor activities like walks and playtime, but I settle down nicely afterward and enjoy relaxing by your side. While I may pull on the leash a little, I'm eager to follow my human and learn new things. My Border Collie roots shine through in my intelligence and loyalty-I'm a quick learner who thrives on interaction and connection. After a good walk or play session, I'm ready for some quiet downtime at home. More About Me I'm a calm, adaptable dog with a heart of gold. I rarely bark unless there's a reason, and I don't guard my food, making me an easygoing addition to any household. I'm well-trained with potty habits and comfortable using both indoor pads and going outside. My gentle nature, intelligence, and social personality mean I'll fit in just about anywhere, whether you're looking for an active partner or a laid-back companion. Last Message If you're ready to welcome a loyal, loving friend into your home, I'm here to be the perfect companion. I can't wait to meet my forever family and start this exciting new chapter of my life! Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THpkskYlAMA&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jwn36sUaqG732b_1wX00ipu ##2261001##

Story
 Quick Facts  Name: Nellie Age: 6 months old (born June 2024) Gender: Female Neutered/Spayed: Yes Breed: Border Collie Color: White & Black Weight: 10 kg   My Personality Hi, I’m Nellie! I’m a young and lively Border Collie girl, born in June 2024, with a beautiful black-and-white coat and weighing about 10 kg (22 lbs). I was rescued from a high-risk situation in Masan, and now I’m ready to start a new chapter with a loving family. I’m still a puppy, so I’m full of energy and curiosity, but I’ve got a heart of gold and a quick mind that’s eager to learn. I’m a friendly, affectionate pup who warms up to people quickly – I’ll happily approach strangers and lean in for pets. In just an hour or two, I’ll show my trust by rolling over to expose my belly! I have a sweet, gentle side, but I’m also still learning the ropes of life, so I sometimes get a little excited. I adore my humans more than anything and love being by your side. I’m a fast learner! My love for food makes me especially motivated when it comes to training. I’ve already picked up commands like “sit” and “wait” with ease, and I’m eager to learn even more. I respond quickly to corrections, so gentle guidance goes a long way with me.   My Social Side I’m a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs! I greet both familiar and new pups with enthusiasm, and I’m always ready for some fun. I don’t play favorites when it comes to size or breed – I just like making friends. That said, I prefer spending quality time with my people most of all. When it comes to food, I’m still learning to share. If another dog gets too close to my meal, I might let out a little growl to remind them it’s mine. It’s something we’re working on, and I’m already showing progress!   My Energy Level & Walks Like most young Border Collies, I’m energetic and playful, so I need plenty of outdoor activity to keep me happy and calm. I love exploring and stretching my legs, but once I’ve had my fill of playtime, I settle down quietly for a nap. Even though I’m still new to walks, I’m doing really well! I don’t pull too much on the leash and tend to look back at my human for reassurance. I’m a natural at matching your pace, so I’ll make a great walking buddy as I continue to grow.   My Daily Routine I’m currently learning about indoor manners. I use outdoor potty spaces very well, but I’m still figuring out how to use potty pads indoors. I sometimes think pads are for playing instead of doing my business, but don’t worry – I’m a quick learner, and with some patience, I’ll get the hang of it!   Last Message I’m a bright, happy puppy who just wants to make you smile. I’m quick to trust, eager to please, and already showing signs of becoming an incredibly well-behaved companion. Whether it’s learning new tricks, going for walks, or just being by your side, I’ll bring endless love and fun into your home.If you’re looking for a sweet, intelligent pup with a lot of energy and even more love to give, I might just be your perfect match! Let’s grow together, and I promise to be your loyal, loving friend for life.    Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBU8EW67w-U&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyW8Rnp-36djl4yjNv8diN7 ##2255717##

Story
Quick Facts Name: Damon Age: Estimated 7 months Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Border Collie mix Color: Black and white Weight: 12.5 kg Height: 48 cm (to the shoulder when standing on all fours) Health o Vaccinations: Up-to-date, including rabies and comprehensive vaccinations. o Heartworm Test: Negative (tested in July 2024). My Story Hello! I'm Damon, a lively and clever Border Collie mix who's always ready for an adventure. My story began on a tough note-I was found lying weak and dehydrated on the streets. Thankfully, kind people noticed me and brought me to safety, where I was nursed back to health. Since then, I've blossomed into a strong, happy pup, and now I'm ready to find a family who's as enthusiastic about life as I am! My Social Side True to my Border Collie roots, I'm full of energy and love to play. Whether it's chasing after toys, playing tug, or running in wide-open spaces, I'm in my element when I get to move and explore. I also enjoy playing with my dog friends, and while I can be a little rambunctious, it's all in good fun! I'm happiest with buddies who don't mind my playful style, but I know how to be gentle when the situation calls for it. When it comes to people, I might be a little shy at first-especially around younger children who make sudden moves-but once I get comfortable, I warm up quickly and enjoy gentle pets and attention. I even don't mind being picked up into a cozy hug! I've also been practicing my manners and obedience skills in a training program, where I'm impressing everyone with my intelligence and eagerness to learn. My Energy Level & Walks My energy level is pretty high, so outdoor adventures are essential for me to burn off steam. After a good play session or a nice walk, though, I settle down happily and relax. On walks, I can get a bit excited and pull on the leash, but I respond well to gentle guidance. I'm naturally focused on my human, so with a little training, I'm sure I'll be a great walking buddy. More About Me As for my routine, I'm a big fan of outdoor bathroom breaks, and I'm learning about scent marking when in new places-it's just my way of saying hello! I'm pretty quiet at home and rarely bark, but I might give a little yip if I want something. Last Message Overall, I'm looking for an experienced family, ideally one who understands Border Collies or active, intelligent dogs like me. I'll thrive in a home where I can get plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation, as well as consistent guidance. With my smarts, boundless energy, and loving personality, I'm eager to be someone's loyal and playful companion. Could you be the one to give me my forever home?
