Thank you for helping him and all the rest.

Aspen

Aspen is one fun boy! About a year of age, Aspen was adopted orginally from the Kansas Humane Society, and then his new owner discovered that she didn't have time for him. Aspen came to me with basic obedience commands, crate trained, and a love of life!

Aspen is a Border Collie mix, and loves playing with my own Border Collies. He ignores my cats(I do believe he is afraid of them...this is a smart puppy!) He will play ball by himself, rolling it with his nose, and then chasing after it.

Aspen is very active, and would do well with older children.

Update: Aspen enjoys playing with the other two dogs in his foster home and really enjoys their company. He does great around new dogs and would likely be happiest with a buddy around the house.

He also loves affection and will sit with you on the couch and watch TV. He will play with toys some and will play fetch some. He will crate fine. He is a little rough on toys and will destroy a tennis ball if let alone with it for long. He has never had an accident in the house. I had him around some little kids and he just sits in front of them and knows not to jump on them. He will jump on adults sometimes but isn't too pushy and some adults he will bark at and is a little reserved for a bit. I have taken him to some large parks off leash and he does okay but not great on recall. He does show some hearding signs with the other dogs and likes to control them in the yard. He will also try to heard me around the yard if I run.

He is a great dog and a joy to have around.

Tali

Tali

" I love everyone." Tali hasn't met a stranger - dog or human. She'll come right up to you and give you a hug and gentle kisses. Kids are her favorite people to be sweet on. She likes kids so much she is likely to roll over and ask for a belly rub. She especially likes little ones who will let her gently clean their faces!

Some of Tali's favorite activities include chewing on bones, fetch, and playing with other dogs ( she hasn't met one yet that she doesn't ask to play). At the dog park Tali gravitates towards the little dogs despite her tall height. She's also a big fan of kongs and squeaky toys. She loves to lie on her back and hold the squeaky toy in her paws and her mouth. And she's smart!

While in foster care she has learned dog manners, sit, down, and is perfecting wait, stay, and recall. She'll do anything for a treat and would love to have someone teach her how to put laundry or shoes away. Her potential to learn is limitless!

Due to her eagerness, curiosity, and drive, Tali needs regular exercise and a job to keep her happy. Tali will need a home with a tall fence.

Jolly

Jolly

Jolly is a 2 year old male border collie. Jolly is a very fitting name for this young man, as he is one happy dog, all the time! Always happy, always ready to do whatever you want, inside or outside!

Jolly is crate trained; he only sleeps in a crate here because of the amount of dogs I have. He is content to sleep at your feet, or go play in the yard, and is very good at entertaining himself! He loves training, and works for food! He has an excellent recall, and will "front", sitting right in front of you. His sit command is now on hand signals, and he is learning to down, also.

Jolly loves to chase a ball, and will retrieve it about 50% of the time...he does get sidetracked easy!

Jolly is very good with other dogs, and is smart enough to be afraid of my cats. While I have not kid tested him, I see nothing that would concern me about small children.

Jolly would make a good family pet, and would enjoy obedience or agility work, and could possibly be very good at either! Jolly would make your home a jollier place to be!

Creek

Meet Creek!!!! Creek is a sweet, wonderful boy! He was pulled from the Wichita Animal Shelter as a Border Collie mix puppy. Creek is about 6 mo’s old, up to date on all his shots, is neutered and has all his adult teeth. He rides great in the car(tether or untethered), walks well on his leash, knows basic commands like sit, stay, lay down and shake. He is crate trained and is almost %100 housebroken (he has accidents when he gets too excited).

Creek likes sqeeky toys, his kong and bones! He plays fetch and is good with recall, but gets bored with it after a while. He loves to play with my aussie mix and gets along well with multiple dogs; but can be very skiddish with aggressive dogs. He’s really laid back and likes to lay around and watch me. He’s very respectful of the house and isn’t very vocal. Creek needs a dominant owner or he will try to be your boss. He is very responsive once he knows his place and wants to be showed love and affection. Creek is very protective of his people and needs some socializing.

Creek is gonna grow into a big boy and is already well over 35lbs.! Besides the white on his nose and neck, he has a pretty white heart on his belly and white tips on his toes. Creek has big pointy ears, fat paws, a long nose and a big drowling tongue. He’s absolutely adorable!

So far Creek doesn't require a great deal of activity, but loves going on long walks! And really has a blast running around off leash, but mostly says by my side. He sleeps with me and my other dog at night and loves to cuddle up next to me. It’s fun to watch him play because his big paws make him clumspy! He loves to play in the water and lives up to the name Creek! He's a great companion and can provide hours of fun and smiles!! Creek will make a wonderful addition to the right home.

Hank

Hank

Hank

Hank is a 2 year old male border collie. He is a very handsome boy with gorgeous eyes that really pull at your heart. He is a tri color, but his coat has an auburn cast to it in the sunshine. He is a super love bug and wants nothing more than to be with his people. He loves to have his ears rubbed and is quite the leaner. Like a lot of border collies Hank loves toys and will empty the toy box in record time. He loves the stuffed squeaky toys but his first love is any kind of ball. He is LOVES catching a ball. He will catch the ball bring it back and if you don’t throw it he will push it to you with his nose. He is also very good at catching a Frisbee and loves to play.

Hank gets along very nicely with his foster brothers and sister, but is not interested in playing with them and does not appreciate attempts from his rough-houser foster brother to get him to play. So if you’re looking for a playmate for your dog Hank is not the dog you’re looking for. Hank is a people dog and wants to spend his time with you and playing with toys or just hanging out. Although he likes to play with toys he is low key for a border collie. He might drive you crazy bringing you toys, but he’s not high energy running all over the house.

Hank loves to go for rides in the car and is ready to go anytime you want to take him. He listens very well, is house trained, loves his crate, he actually will take toys to his crate and hang out for some alone time. He has an excellent recall, knows sit, down, leave it, off and go to bed. He has very good manners and takes treats very gently. He does not jump on you and he’s not a licker.

He is extremely easy to give a bath to and will stand completely still during his bath and blow dry. I think he must have been a show dog in his past life. LOL!

During storms Hank prefers to be in his crate. He stays in a soft sided crate at our house which is available to him at all times. During storms he will go in there himself and hang out until the storm is over. He does not get upset or excited, he just feels safer in his crate.

We have found out that Hank has hip dysplasia. This has not affected his quality of life. He can run and play, go for walks in the woods and just be a very good companion like any other dog. He has been evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon at the University of Mo who said he does not recommend surgery at this time and said he may never need surgery. Hank is currently on gluclosamine and previcox. Hank also takes a daily thyroid medication to regulate his low thyroid. It is a very inexpensive once daily pill. Because of his dysplasia Hank needs a home with few or no steps. A lot of steps on a regular basis could aggravate his hip causing him discomfort. Hank should also go to a home with older children or no children.

Hank is NOT good with cats and will need a no cat home. He has such an obsession with them and can’t seem to turn it off, so cats are not safe around around him.

Hank is really the kind of dog most people want for a companion. He is gentle, well mannered, playful, but not over the top high energy. He gets along well with people and other dogs if they want to hang out with him, but forget the wrestling matches. He is a great “go with” dog and would be a very special addition to the right family.

Wyatt

Adoption Pending!

Wyatt

Wyatt is a 2-3 year old smooth coated border collie with a very endearing personality. He is so easy going and loveable, yet he has that border collie energy and drive anytime someone is read to play. He LOVES toys and will entertain himself with them or also enjoys playing fetch, although sometimes he has to take a few laps around the yard before he actually brings it back! Wyatt is gets along great with other dogs and cats. He has been very good and leaving alone anyone who doesn't want to play, but is eager to make a new friend and play when he meets a friendly dog or cat. He is very calm and relaxed indoors and is crate trained. He also loves to ride in the car and walks well on a leash. I think his most endearing habit is when he comes up to rub against my leg like a giant cat when he wants some extra attention. He is also very good with children. I think he would make a very good pet therapy dog. He's very affectionate, but not clingy.

Wyatt has long legs and a lean athletic body. He currently weighs about 37 pounds and needs to gain about 5 more. He stands about 21" tall at the shoulder. While he doesn't require a great deal of activity, he very much enjoys it and he is getting ready to start and beginner agility class and I expect he will be very good at it. He will also be instinct tested on sheep very soon.

Josie

Josie

Josie is such a sweet girl. She loves to cuddle and be carried around and loved on. She likes other dogs, cats and people and will happily play with any of them. She is rather submissive but has been caught guarding her food and "stuff" when other dogs come around her x-pen. She is also content playing with her toys by herself if no is wanting to play with her. She especially likes to tug and will tug on her leash or your pants if you are not careful! She also likes stuffed squeaky toys a lot.

Josie is not an overly active puppy and will probably be a lower to medium energy Border Collie but it's hard to say for sure. She has been meeting lots of new people and is doing very well with crate training. She also has had only a few accidents in her x-pen

Eddy

Eddy

Eddy is a sweet boy, but all border collie! He is an owner relinquishment due to change in the family situation. We think he is about 6 months old, but not exactly sure, maybe a little older. He is currently only 17 pounds and needs to add a few to be at an ideal weight.

He is housebroken and loves his crate. He will go lay in his open crate and just hang out and he is quiet when crated at night. He loves toys and chasing our border collie when she is chasing the soccer ball.

He will lay down quietly in the house but does love to go! He will need that daily physical and mental stimulation. We were told he was a "fanatic" about cats. He is very interested in our cat, but will come away if we call him (and then goes right back.) It may just depend on how dog saavy the cat is. He has been "bossy" around other dogs so may have some alpha tendancies. He takes correction from our alpha female, but we could see how he could want to be top dog.

We would describe Eddy as your typical border collie, he would definitely benefit from formal obedience classes and soak up the attention it would give him. He shows herding instincts with regards to the cat and our other border collie. Oh, and he is a lover too giving kisses freely!

Eddy just came into rescue, so check back soon for updates.

Maverick

Maverick

Maverick (Mav) is a sweet black and white boy with a good temperament and a heart of gold. He loves to curl up on the floor with his bone and chew while you rub his back with your feet. He's very willing to please and loves to have a good scratch behind the ear. He will also smile at you when he's happy. I've yet to get a picture of it, but it is the most hysterical thing I've seen.

He's housebroken, loves to play fetch. He's a bit of a klutz, but I think that is his age. He will do well with older children (12 & up). He would make someone a great obedience dog or a running companion.
