Blaze

Blaze is a smooth coat border collie, male, weighs about 35 pounds

He is house broken and learned to use the doggie door in just a few days. he is a very smart boy. Blaze loves to play and LOVES his three foster siblings. When he realized there were multiple dogs in the house he would run to each of their rest areas and bark at them to see which one was game for a wrestling match on the deck. He plays well, never growls or shows teeth, and after playtime he lays down and relaxes for a lengthy nap.

He is still puppy enough to enjoy chewing but is lerning quickly appropriate items for chewing. he is learning to sit and down and come.

Blaze is a typical border collie - very intelligent and eager to please but can be a bit willful at times, so border collie experience will be good. He wants to please and be liked, but he definitely has a mind of his own. he likes to be chased and loves the doggie park but may bolt if something catches his eye, so it is imperative that his new family continue to work on his "COME" command if he has not mastered it by the time his new family finds him and adopts him.

His appetite is good and he is not possessive of food or treats. We are working on crate training.

Brooke

Brooke is going to need a low key household, a home that has plenty of Border Collie understanding. She is concerned about everything - not much of a social butterfly. Very sweet with the people she knows. Around the house and in the yard with other dogs that she knows, she is a gem. She is very reserved when she first meets someone, but will warm up in time. She is obviously uncomfortable in new situations and will find a safe place and watch the environment. When you take her to a dog park, she will watch the movement of the other dogs. She will interact with them when approached, but not instigate play with someone that she does not know.

Brooke is a dog that may have been abused or not socialized as a puppy. When she first arrived she was fearful of men. She would not come to me, but I have worked her thru that and she is now willing to come to me on request. She remains fearful of quick movements. She is NOT aggressive at all!

She is a classically marked, spayed and on heart worm preventative. She is in need of a special home that does not have a lot of activity. She may never become a social butterfly and be able to go to the Petsmart with you, but she will be a great companion at the house.

Sadie

Sadie is approx 5 to 8 yrs old, she came in as a stray so the age is just a guess - no gray on her face. She is weak heart worm + and will have to go through treatment prior to being ready for adoption, but feel free to fill out an application now. She has one blue eye, one brown eye and a heavy black coat. She seems to be in good condition and we don't think she was on the streets long. She rides well in a car and responds well to people (male and female). She knows 'sit', needs a bit of work walking on a leash. She will make some lucky family a great companion dog.
