Toast is a year and 1 1/2 year old male, Red Australian Cattle dog, who is amazing with respectful children 5 and up and great with other animals including cats. He wants nothing more than to cuddle on the couch in your lap. Though no fault of his own, he has had a couple of bumps in his life journey, which has given him some anxiety which causes a lot of drooling and some car sickness which has gotten better the more places we go. He is house broken and crate trained, he does use our doggy door. He is working on putting on some weight after his last shelter stay.  Toast is being fostered in Walkerton, IN Please contact hannahvazquez2002@gmail.com  if you have any questions about Toast.  You can complete an application to adopt Toast or any of the dogs on our website at www.comebyebcrescue.org .     ***  The potential adoptor will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 12, 2024, 4:35 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Introducing Leroy!  Sport friends! Are you looking for your next dog sport partner? Look no further!   Leroy is a ROCKET and would excel at anything! This 1 year old petite guy is the perfect size at only 33# and 16” at the shoulder. He loves to fetch, will fly through the air after frisbees, knows a lot of fun tricks, has been started on agility obstacles and is so eager to work. He has been to dog shows, fairs and festivals, stayed in hotels and is okay in that environment. He’s a LOT of fun.  Typical of Cattle Dogs, Leroy is very dog selective and might need to be the only dog in the home. Proper introductions to new dogs are required. He does better with submissive, non-reactive dogs as his high energy can give off the wrong vibes to others. He did previously live with a dog savvy cat who would frequently play and interact with Leroy! We ask that he go to a herding dog experienced home that understands the quirks of this breed and is willing to work on building structure and a routine for him to thrive under.   Leroy is a busy boy. He requires a lot of physical and mental stimulation, as well as some crate times to decompress. He will bring you any toy or ball he can find to play fetch with, all day long. In the evenings he will settle on the couch and cuddle (if properly exercised for the day). He walks great on a leash and is his foster mom’s morning walk buddy. Leroy is being fostered in Argos, IN  Are you willing to give this boy a chance? Please reach out to his foster mom with any other questions at kayladarriaga@gmail.com For additional information on Border Collies and our adoption process, please visit our website at  www.comebyebcrescue.com .    ***  The potential adoptor will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them.***    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 12, 2024, 4:35 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Suzi is an adult ACD/BC who was found stray and is currently in a foster home for Mo-Kan Border Collie Rescue.  This is a courtesy listing on behalf of Mo-Kan BC Rescue, and anyone interested in meeting or learning more about Suzi should e-mail Kim Pluenneke of Mo-Kan at the below e-mail address: kpluenneke@gmail.com Mo-Kan BC Rescue says this about Suzi: Meet Suzi, a charming black and white Border Collie mix, weighing around 40 lbs. She's a true peoplelover, always ready for affection and cuddles. Suzi enjoys a variety of things and activities such as playing tug, soft squeaky toys, going on walks, frozen peanut butter filled kongs, hard chews, licky mats, snuffle mats, dog puzzles, soft foam dog beds (and maybe a fuzzy one for her head), belly rubs, and giving kisses. She's potty trained and kennel trained, though she'd rather be by your side.  Suzi has a bit of a prey drive, so she's not suited for homes with small animals. She's selective with other dogs, making her a good fit as an only dog or with a submissive dog companion. She's actively learning commands and tricks (sit, lie down, come, wait, here, get it, give it, leave it, place, here, spin, twirl, touch, hide, roll over, crawl and catch) and is eager to please for treats or toys. Suzi is intelligent, inquisitive, and knows when to relax. If you're seeking a Border Collie's intelligence, beauty, and loyalty without the high energy, Suzi is your ideal match. She requires a fenced yard and someone knowledgeable about her breed. She's spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Suzi is currently in foster care in Manhattan, KS.   Please note that Suzi is listed as being good with kids but has not been around very small children (toddlers and infants); she does quite well with older children.  She is friendly with dogs of her size and will need a gradual introduction to much smaller dogs.  She is not tolerant of cats as they seem to set off her prey drive.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 5, 2025, 8:59 pm

Story
Nancy is a young Australian cattle dog who would just love to sit on your lap and be cuddled all day. She’s smart and full of personality with spurts of play time then lots of chill time.  Nancy is about 3 or 4 years old. She is completely house trained and is excellent in her crate. She’s good on a leash and knows several commands including “sit” and “kennel.” She is particularly motivated if treats are involved! Nancy loves other dogs but can get pretty rowdy when she plays. She would be great with a dog buddy as long as the dog is accepting, playful, and not easily offended by silly antics. One of Nancy’s favorite things is to talk to all her favorite toys. Nancy needs a home with a fenced-in yard and would prefer someone who has herding dog experience. No kids under 10 please. Nancy is being fostered in the St. Louis area. ##1270950##
