Border Collie puppies and dogs in Troutdale, Oregon

He was takin in by us because a friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Now we’re at the point where we can’t afford him anymore either. Trigger is almost 2 years old. He’s good with kids, doesn’t show much interest in staying around kids. He likes to follow his owners around. He also has separation anxiety problems. He has to be put in a kennel when leaving the house, he will chew up stuff if left out of kennel. Home type were looking for is someone who can give him the attention he needs

Scout is actually a Pure Bread Mc Nabb. Similar to a Boarder Collie but very independent. Scout is an intelligent dog with the need to run free in a secure yard or in the County. He is pretty well trained on and off the leash. As well as crate trained. He is great with kids and has a lot of energy. He would do great with someone that walks or runs a lot. He still gets 'Puppy Brain' and need more socializing to round him out. Also, a firm hand on the leash when neen be. He will be a fantastic dog in a place where he can be more free to just be a dog. We love him and will miss him greatly but he deserves to be happy.

Indi is a 3 year old border collie mix, with a heart of gold. She was picked up off the street with a little dog friend who she was bonded to. Indi was the quiet one, & her friend was the big personality. Her friend was adopted without her, & she spent weeks at the shelter before we rescued her. We rescued her from a kill-shelter, she was malnourished & depressed. Our intention was to foster her back to health. She has really blossomed into a loyal, goofy, & playful dog. Since we began fostering her, she has gained over 10lbs (& will continue to gain weight). She is up to date on her vaccines, recently spayed. She is weary, but she warms up quickly. She is a sweet & sensitive dog. She is extremely intelligent, & picks up on tricks and tasks quickly. She enjoys running, playing fetch, chewing on sticks, doing chores outside of the house. She seems uninterested in other dogs, and at times fearful. She does well with cats & is actively learning to respect their boundaries.

Meet Oona, a four-year-old deaf Border Collie with a big heart and a bright mind, looking for a home that truly understands her. She’s fluent in many hand signals, incredibly in tune with human body language, and happiest when her days include both mental and physical activity. Oona is house-trained, deeply intuitive, and quick to bond. She’s not fond of crates and can be a puller on leash, so she’ll thrive with someone patient, consistent, and willing to guide her. She adores kids of all ages and currently lives with a toddler, and she would love the companionship of another active, well-matched dog who shares her energy. A secure yard and some experience with herding breeds (or an eagerness to learn) will help her shine. Oona loves to stretch her legs in open spaces and end the day relaxing by your side. She may not be the right fit for every home, but for the right one, she will be a loyal, joyful, and deeply rewarding companion.

Oh my ears!!! Meet the cutest little girl this side of the Mississippi! Meet Poptart! With ears that fold like those old-school fortune teller paper games from elementary school, sometimes resembling delicate little praying mantis hands, Poptart is impossible not to fall in love with at first glance. She’s the kind of pup who warms up gently, but once she feels safe, her soft heart shines through in the sweetest ways. Treats and booty scratches are the keys to her affection, and she’ll quietly inch her way over for both, never demanding, always patient with those puppy eyes in full effect. Even though she is young, she has the best docile demeanor. She isn’t pushy for affection or attention and just waits patiently to be adorned on.She’s a perfect little princess and will make her new family so incredibly happy! We believe that Poptart is a Border Collie mix of some sort around 1 year old and weighs approximately 35 pounds. She is a petite little thing that has the softest coat and most gentle kisses. Due to her being a rescue, age and breed are our best guess and cannot be guaranteed. But that’s what makes rescue so fun! It’s so rewarding to adopt a dog and give them a life they could only dream of! Check out Poptart here: https://youtu.be/Lj451VHtil0 Poptart has lived with an 8-year-old child and their bond is something special. She followed her everywhere, always wanting to be nearby, proving that she’d make a wonderful family dog! Especially in a home with gentle, dog-savvy kids. With other dogs, she prefers to observe rather than dive into the action right away. In the yard, she was a little shy with our resident pups. The pushy ones made her a bit uncomfortable when they would run up hot and heavy to her face, so she would gently move out the way so they could play. She was more of an observer than a participator. But at her foster home, she thrives in doggy daycare where she is comfortable with all the puppy friends. So she will just need some time to warm up to her environment. A home with a medium-energy dog who respects her pace would be the perfect match to help her continue growing into her confidence. Cats are very intriguing to Poptart and it would be best if she was in a kitten free environment! She’s incredibly smart and very treat motivated, already showing off her skills like a pro and sure to pick up more with ease. In the video you can see her already mastering her sit! Whether you’re looking for a companion to train, travel with, or simply sip coffee next to on a sunny patio, Poptart is your girl. She is calm and composed during car rides, perfectly content in her crate, and simply a joy to be around! She would do well in a home or in an apartment. She just needs a person to love her. There’s something beautifully charming about Poptart. She doesn’t ask for the spotlight, but she has a way of stealing your heart just by being near. She’s ready to find the family who will help her feel safe, loved, and appreciated! Does Poptart sound like your future bestie?

Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress! Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet. The rescue’s hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded. It doesn’t stop there!

Alder is an extremely sweet, quiet, shy boy. He is the dog version of an introvert. He is gentle and sticks to himself and is great with other dogs of all sizes and with cats. He doesn't engage much with them thought as he prefers to do his own thing. He has to be the most low maintenance and chill dog I've ever had in the rescue out of hundreds of dogs. He is hesitant with people he doesn't know but never aggressive. Not an ounce of aggression. He was listed as a pit bull mix at the shelter when he was smaller and still a younger puppy but now that he is an older puppy (about a year) it's obvious that he is not a pittie but looks more like a border collie. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found. Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue/reviews (copy and paste into a new browser window) Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Spokane, Tumwater, Tacoma, Tukwila, Lynnwood/Edmonds, Bellingham) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Idaho (Heyburn and Boise/Meridian) - Utah (Ogden) - Wyoming (Evanston, Rock Springs, Laramie) - Montana (Missoula) - Illinois (Vandalia, Springfield, Chicago) - Indiana (Spiceland, Burn Harbor) - Michigan (St Joseph, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor) - Wisconsin (Madison, Wausau, Eau Claire, Appleton, Milwaukee) - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) - Iowa (Des Moines) - Ohio (Columbus and London) - Pennsylvania (Erie, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg) - New York (Buffalo and Albany) - Connecticut (Enfield) - New Jersey (Bedminster) - Nevada (Las Vegas) - Arizona (Flagstaff) Vetting: neutered, microchipped, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, dhpp vaccine x 3, lepto vaccine x 2, dewormed several times, on monthly flea and tick prevention, on monthly heartworm protection, heartworm tested (negative) Adoption fee: $550 (includes the $250 cost of transport from Oklahoma and all vetting listed above) Adoption application (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://form.jotform.com/82677586784176 FAQs (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://docs.google.com/document/d/12eb_SRtk1AzaBl87UltcLJ24MjH9UhQm_LE77iWZEQA/edit?tab=t.0 Desiderata Rescue is Oklahoma Licensed Rescue #95
