Story

We are looking to rehome our 3.5-year-old Border Collie, a healthy and house-trained working purebred with a fun, loving, and intelligent personality. He came from a sheep farm in Missouri and has a strong instinct for herding, though he's also a fantastic companion for a variety of activities. Whether you’re looking for an energetic hiking buddy or a chilled-out dog to relax with at home, he's adaptable to both. He is highly trainable and would excel in agility or herding training, making him a perfect fit for someone with an active lifestyle. Due to personal circumstances, my husband has moved overseas, with a already busy schedule for the wife, it's challenging to give him the attention he deserves while caring for our senior dog(another 12 years old dog at home). We’re hoping to find a home where he can thrive, he can be a good company at home, but preferably with someone who enjoys outdoor activities and has the time to provide the mental and physical stimulation he needs.

Story

Jack is being fostered in CA. Are you looking for a cuddle bug? Look no further than Jack! Jack is a 7-year-old poodle/min mix who loves to snuggle and be right by your side. When he’s happy, he jumps up and down like a bunny (which is the cutest!). Even though he is blind, he can make his way through the house and the yard with no issues. Jack is house-trained and uses the doggy-door. His friendly nature extends to everyone he encounters, both dogs, cats, and humans alike, especially babies and children. He believes that love knows no boundaries and greets every opportunity to make new friends with enthusiasm. If you're searching for a furry companion who will shower you with love, joy, and unwavering loyalty, look no further than Jack. Give him the second chance at happiness he so deserves, and in return, he will fill your life with endless happiness and unconditional love. Now, this wonderful companion is ready to embark on his new chapter and share his boundless love and joy with a forever family. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
