Aiden
Approx. 1 year old
Male, neutered
Black w/ white front paws, chin, chest, and tummy
UTD on shots and HW preventative
Hey. My name is Aiden. I'm a new member of the PRBCR, and very happy to be in the group. I got lost from my family and spent several months roaming the streets looking for them. It's very sad, but that gives me a chance to find a new, loving home.
An active home would be great—I want to give agility training a try. I get along well with all the other dogs at the dog park. However, my foster brother and I are at odds—he's an eight year old cat, and does not understand my curiosity with him. I like cats, but probably shouldn't live with one.
My foster mom told me to write this: I'm even more handsome in person!
Do you want a big ol' lap dog? You may have to sit with me on the floor, because I only get on the couch if I'm invited.
You will have a hard time finding a more loving and loyal companion!
Annie
Annie is a wonderful Border Collie mix that is under two years old. She is a very special girl who I call velcro dog. She will not let you out of her sight, she is very intelligent and responsive. She will make someone a wonderful and loyal companion. If I didn't have so many dogs I would seriously consider keeping her. She has adapted well and bonded with her foster brothers and sisters. She has not been tested with cats but I can do that if it would be a consideration. She is up to date on all shots and is on heartworm prevention.

Casey
Young Male-neutered
Activity Level: medium to high
Hi, I am Casey and I love to give hugs. I am a really sweet loving dog and would make someone a very nice companion!
Casey is a bundle of energy and very funny, with unique coloring and one blue and one brown eye. He settles down nicely in the house unless he and my other babies start goofing around, and he talks to them too. He gets along great with other dogs and all people. He is still a bit skittish of things he has not been exposed to and anyone holding anything that looks like a stick. I have so many that I don't get to do a lot with them as far as obedience type training. He has learned sit for treats and dinner and basic house rules. He sleeps on my bed with a couple other dog babies and me when they give me a little room. He is learning that toys, balls are good things:-). To me he is a sweetheart and with some training is going to make some lucky person a wonderful forever boy. Please fill out an online application if you would be willing to spend the time to be Casey's wonderful forever home.

Drew
Female - spayed
approx 1 yr old
Drew gets along with other doggies and showed no interest in the cats that were in the crates at the vet.
Drew is very sweet and loving, and she will bond quickly. She walks on a leash very well.
Drew raised her little paw to give pilot Jeff a high five love for saving her:-)
She rides well according to Ala vol and pilot said she did great. She didn't want to pose very well for her pics. But as I said it was very scary back there with the doggies that are mean(not their faults poor babies) in addition to how scary a plane ride is to a doggie!
[If you are interestd in giving Drew a forever loving home, please click here to contact Mary]
Drew with volunteer Linda as she arrived at Greenville Airport. Thank you to PnP (Paws n Pilots) again for helping save these wonderful dogs!

Jake
Male, neutered
2-3 years, DOB Aug 2005-06
40 pounds
Black and White Smooth Coat
Medium Activity
Jake was rescued 2 months ago from a South Carolina kill shelter along with several of his “farm mates”. Malnourished and emaciated, sick and infested with parasites, frightened and shy… all the while his pleading eyes asking for help, understanding, kindness, and most of all patience!
Jake is now healthy, neutered, and UTD on shots. He is crate and house trained. He loves to be outside and adores playing with other dogs!
Jake is a gentle, sweet boy who is learning to play with toys and enjoy neighborhood walks. Jake has started working sheep and shows promise as a herding dog!
Jake remains shy with new people but with patience comes trust………….Jake will adjust best if his new home has plenty of space and one or more other dogs to help Jake regain his confidence.
If ever a dog deserves a loving, patient human to help transform him into a happy, confident best friend-it is surely JAKE!
For more information, Please contact Erin, in Lorton, VA: Fork9s@gmail.com. And please fill out an application.
Kenai --- Adoption Pending!!!!!!!!!
Male - neutered
approx 52 pounds
2 to 2-1/2 yrs old
Tri- Red
I am a gorgeous red tri-color total lover. I get along great with all my foster doggie family. I am a companion:-) I could care less about expending the energy at this point to go herd those squirrels next door. I don't like to be alone unless I have a doggie companion so I am looking for someone whom can spend lots of time with me. I love to ride(just not the getting in part) and am perfect if you want to leave the air in the car running while you go in and do errands to get me treats and such:-) if you think you can be my perfect Forever home please fill out our online application!
Kenai loves people and is the most happy when he can give hugs or just lean up against your leg. He wants to be touching his person. He has a very gentle nature and is very loving. His idea of pure happiness is being a lap dog!

Piper - Very Sweet & loving! - Special Needs!
male - neutered
approx 3 yrs old
activity level: active
loves people
loves the water
Piper was found chained to a tree and thankfully PRBCR was able to save him. He is such a sweet loving boy who just loves life!
Piper is blind. The vet says since he is so well adjusted, she feels he has been blind since birth. You would never know he is blind except that he fell down the steps of his new foster home, so we had his eyes checked. He loves being outside and running and playing. He is extremely fast! To cool off, he jumps into the water trough. He is the cutest boy with the sweetest personality- you will just fall in love!
Piper loves his foster sisters and loves playing with them. We would love to see Piper go to a home where he will be an only dog who is pampered and loved or to a home where he would have a sister who is non-alpha. He is very intimidated by male dogs which is to be expected with his condition.
Piper loves being petted and brushed and just loves interaction with people. He will need a fence for his safety and a human who understands how to help him learn his new surroundings and give him the love and support he needs. Dogs do very well blind with a little help from their human friends as their sense of smell and touch compensate for their loss. Having another dog companion, in Piper's case a gentle nurturing female dog, will help him feel less alone and afraid.

Punch - Now Bismark --- Adoption Pending
3 month old male
15 pounds
Bio Coming Soon
[If you are interested in adopting Punch, please click here to contact Phyllis]
Quinn --- puppy
male - neutered
8 to 10 months old
Walks well on a leash
Loves stuffed toys (destuffs them right now :) )
Fast Learner!
Quinn is sometimes shy and and sometimes very outgoing. (Very puppy-ish) He is respectful of our other dogs, but is willing to start a play session if he feels the need. He has not had an accident in his crate, and will go right out and do his business. He is a very nice boy. Right now he seems like a low drive, shy, very loving guy who wants to meet everyone.
I took him to meet the neighborhood kids. He really lights up around children and women. His tail goes 90 MPH. He's not afraid of me but he's very timid and subdued around men. We introduced him nose-to-nose to a cat and that went very well. His tail wagged even faster when he saw the cat. He made it through the entire evening in his kennel w/o a peep. He likes his kennel. I put a sheet over the top of it to make him feel more protected.
Quinn should start developing his personality rapidly now that he is in a loving foster home. He was in the shelter for a month and has 'shelter shock' is underweight and shy, as he gains weight and feels better he is becoming the typical playful puppy

Tebow --- Now Dash --- adoption pending!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Activity Level: Active Companion
Age: 2.5 years
Weight: 48 lbs
Owner surrender (elderly/could no longer care for him)
Meet Tebow. He is a purebred Border Collie who has spent his entire 2.5 year life on the end of a chain. Poor guy. He has finally been rescued from his chain, but now he is undergoing treatment for heartworms. He will do great in a forever home with a very large fenced yard where he can safely run free. He is a real lovebug who enjoys having cuddle time in front of the TV and being close to his people. He doesn't seem to have much interest in toys or any games, but he may develop an interest in them later as he finishes Heartworm treatment and begins to feel better. He does very well with other dogs and rides calmly in the car. Please check back for more information as Tebow's health improves and his true personality begins to surface.

Tucker
Young male
25 pounds but underweight, probably needs 5 more pounds
Tucker was at a shelter in Bowling Green KY. Since border collies are so timid and so frightened of loud noises, the shelter felt he would not be adoptable since a shelter setting is so very frightening to a border collie pup. PRBCR found Tucker but Bowling Green KY is so far away - we feared we would not be able to help this lovely boy. Thankfully a local pilot - Greg Forse and his daughter Abby and son Barron stepped up to help Tucker find his way to SC so he can find his forever home. Tucker was more than ready to jump on this plane and head to his future loving home.
Many thanks to Greg - he certainly went above and beyond the call of duty, after flying to KY to pick up Tucker the plane was downed in TN due to the horrible storms this past week. That did not stop Greg - he rented a car and drove Tucker the rest of the way to his foster home and then had to return the next day to get his plane. Thank you so very much for you love and devotion to save this gorgeous baby!
Tucker is somewhat shy right now, but we feel he is traumatized from the shelter and will over come this with a loving home. He has already started playing with his foster brothers and holds his tail up now and wags it constantly. He is very friendly in his new home environment. Loves people and dogs.
