Now two years later

In 2014 we took a break from Border Collie Rescue for the sake of our own aging dogs. And the addition of small dogs to our pack has influence on bringing a new foster dog home. We did continue to help Border Collie owners with placements, transports and posting owner placements.

Honey at Greenhill Humane in Eugene

Honey is a very affectionate girl, but pretty shy at first. When she warms up to someone they can’t help but fall in love with her.  She is definitely submissive and looks to people for support. She walks great on leash. She is really stressed here in the kennel and is not eating well, she ahs already lost 4 pounds since 10/25 when she came in. She has gotten along with other dogs here and the women who surrendered her said she did well with cats and recommended placing her in a home with them.  While she didn’t live in a home with children she was around children 4 and 6 who visited on a regular basis. She was a totally outdoor dog and slept in the barn in that home. They brought her in because she was barking and chasing the llamas and bit one of the cows on the ear (imagine a BC doing that LOL). She did very well on her behavior assessment, and has reinforced that assessment in her interaction w/ staff and volunteers since.  I am sure she will thrive in a home with someone who loves and understands BC energy and behaviors.

Lilli- 7months old

This is a family looking to re-home a cute pup. Contact me if you are interested. Remember you can click on the photo to enlarge it for a better view.

Hello, this is Lilli, our half Boarder Collie and half American Eskimo. She is a wonderful girl and we feel bad because lately we can't give her the attention that she needs. As you know, this is not fair to her and she is starting to be pretty mischievous because of a lack of attention and exercise.

Our single mother daughter just moved up here 3 months ago which is taking up A LOT of our time. The thing is, our daughter has 3 young children that we babysit a lot for, so she can work.

We live in Florence, OR and are wondering if you have any suggestions. Lille is 7 months old now, just got Spayed two weeks ago, has all her shots and is very sweet. Lilli knows how to fetch, shake, lay down and stay. Lilli also waits when she is fed for me or my wife to give her the okay to eat. Lilli is also crate trained and is good on a leash, running free on the beach and comes when called. Sometime she is a little hard to get back on a leash, but even in those situations, it only takes a minute with a treat. Lilli is also very socialized, we take her to the dog park where she has a lot of fun fetching and playing with other dogs.

The bad things that she is starting to do now are barking, not listening as much, digging holes, jumping on the kids and her nipping gets a little old. All these new behaviors are understandable now with the lack of attention she is getting.

She is doing so well. You did a great "thing" by choosing to rescue her!

We send our love
