Ebbe
Dear Santa,
I've been a good girl this year. I had four adorable and healthy pups
(they all found good homes) - won't be doing that anymore now that I've
been spayed and brought up-to-date on my vaccinations and every month I
take my heartworm and flea/tick prevention.
Santa, my life is good but it could be so much better if I only had one
thing - a furrever home. I dream about running with my human kids,
curling up in the evening while they watch tv, and watching over my human
family as they sleep. I even wouldn't mind if there was another dog for
me to play with!
Santa, I know you want me to have a good life and I trust you to find my
furrever family.
Thank you Santa!
Love, Ebbe

Meet AC:
Beauty and brains, isn't that what the Miss America pageant is all about?
Let's just call me Miss America Canine, A.C. for short. I may hold the
title, but all the crowns and roses in the world won't me make as happy as
finding my perfect forever home would. I would like nothing better than to
move in with an active family who will spend time with me. I'm quite
intelligent and I enjoy being a part of whatever is going on. I love to
learn, and I pick up new tricks very quickly. I have an aptitude for agility
and fly ball, if not herding.
Some people think I'm old because I have white on my face. The consensus,
however, is that the white isn't reflective of my age at all, but are
freckles consistent with my breed mix. I love children and I get along with
male dogs. I'm not so good with cats. I'm willing to consider living with
other female dogs, as long as they are submissive. I must maintain my status
of queen; it's only fair if you're Miss America Canine.
Oh, and my breed? The herding dog experts believe it to be smooth-coated
Border Collie or a mix heavily on the Border Collie side. At 52 pounds, I am
nearly the size of a small shepherd. I am up-to-date on all vaccinations and
have tested negative for heartworms. I am spayed and microchipped.
If you'd
like to meet me, please e-mail petadoptions@illinoishumane.org. My

This is "River" as we call her. On June third, she was pulled by a
concerned citizen from the Meramec river near Onondaga Cave. At the end
of the day when no one had come looking for her she was brought to us.
She wasn't wearing a collar and didn't appear to have worn one recently.
She was covered in ticks, full of sand, and had blood shot eyes. We had
her scanned for a microchip and but alas she didn't have one. We put
Advantix II on her to get rid of the ticks. She weighed 38 pounds. She
was thought by the vets to be about a year old. We posted ads and
searched for weeks for her owners but no one ever came forward to claim
her. She appears to be another casualty of the economy.
As you can see River appears to be a smooth coated blue merle BC, but
is very likely a mix. She is a very sweet girl. She is good in a
crate. She walks well on a leash and rides very well in a car. She is
housebroken. She loves people and likes to cuddle. She is great with
all our animals but shows a strong interest in livestock through the
fence. She does fine with the cats. She has a great recall and is
content to stay with you and not take off. She has never offered to
leave us when loose in the yard with us. She knows the sit and down
commands. She is a quick learner that loves to please. All in all she
is an easy going dog. She now weighs 40 pounds. We had her spayed,
microchipped, and she received her vaccinations. Her heartworm test
was negative and she has been started on preventative. She is looking
for the right forever home. Please contact us about her adoption
requirements and fee.

Snickers is a 16 month old Border Collie mix who is very playful and likes
to run. He is very cuddly, but he certainly needs his exercise and play
time. Best would be a home where he can get a lot of attention and exercise
to wear him out. He is housebroken and is used to going out a doggy door.
He knows basic "sit" commands and is a quick study and would do great in obedience class. He is friendly with other dogs and often goes to daycare as well
as play with a 12 year old lab mix when he is home. He certainly has the
mentality of a Border Collie and needs a job to do. Playing fetch is one of his favorite pass times and makes him very happy!
For more information about Snickers please contact Heather. hfenton@gmail.com

Meet Spot:
He is a border collie mix (with blue heeler?) that is in need of rescue or a great home.
He is quite adorable, as you can tell by the pics. Here is what his foster has to say about him:
Spot loves his Flying Squirrel! He'll fetch as long as you want to play! Having the freedom to run and play is something Spot hasn't always had. The first years of Spot's life were spent chained to the corner of a trailer house in a mud hole. Not much of a life for an energetic guy like Spot. So to release some of that energy he chewed on that chain, his front teeth prove it. But that life is all in the past now. Spot is neutered, ready to find someone who wants a loyal, devoted partner who loves to fetch a Flying Squirrel! Spot is good with other dogs, but will be the first to follow you anywhere. Especially out to the yard to play!
For more information about spot please contact: Aimee Denton with the Buck Fund in Emporia, KS adenton89@gmail.com

Petey is approximately 1 year old male border collie. He weighs 38 pounds and is neutered. He is on Heartguard and Frontline and is up to date with all immunizations.
He is house and crate trained. He will go to the door and wine and/or jump when he needs to go out. When needed, he will stay in a crate during
the day but would prefer to be outside in a fenced in yard. He does sleep
in his crate all night and when he gets tired at times will put himself to
bed. Petey loves playing but seems to know that when he is inside it’s a time to be calm.
Petey is very intelligent and learns quickly. He has only had one
obedience class so far and he can already sit, stay, and lay down. He is
an amazing jumper but has never used this talent to get over a fence, only
to see the neighbor’s dog next door. Petey loves playing with other dogs
and would do well in a house with another dog as long as that dog doesn’t mind rough play.
Petey has a strong herding instinct and therefore would not be a good fit
with younger children. He does love middle school age girls. He would be
a great work or agility dog. Petey loves to play with balls, squeaky
toys, Frisbee’s, etc. Petey does not care for a lot of kid or visitor
traffic in the house or yard. Currently he lives in a household with 4
children and does well with them, but is protective and cannot be trusted
with visitors. We are working on this trait with an obediance trainer
currently.
Petey would be happiest in a home that doesn't have a lot of visitors and
foot traffic. He is very protective of his people. He is only a year old
and because of this I believe he could be socalized to be more accepting
of strangers. He would be a loyal and loving companion and hard worker
for any farmer/rancher. He would also be a competitive agility dog.
For more information about Petey please contact Jennifer at jennifermcraft@hotmail.com

Charlie is a handsome red and white border collie mix. The vet estimates his age at 4 to 6 years old, but his background is unknown so it is an educated guess. Charlie weighs about 50 lbs. He has gorgeous golden eyes and communicates volumes with them. He is in good health overall, however he has some arthritis in his hips. The arthritis is managed by a daily supplement at a cost of about $12 per month.
Charlie is a sweet boy who has never met a stranger, human or animal. He gets along well with my other two male dogs and both of my female cats. He is respectful of the other animals wanting their alone time, but he's ready to play when they are!
Charlie loves his walks and does well on the lead. He sleeps on a foam bed next to mine. He's happy to be close to me, but doesn't try to push his way into my bed. If invited however, Charlie never turns down the invitation.
Charlie does not like being confined in a crate. He does well in the house on his own, and has never chewed or destroyed anything.
Charlie will be a wonderful companion. He is with Away to Me Border Collie Rescue, and is being fostered in the St. Louis area.
He tested negative for heartworm disease and is on preventative. He is also on flea/tick preventative. He is neutered, current on all vaccinations and microchipped.
To inquire more about Charlie, or to apply to adopt him please contact Chris Mueller at ILoveBorderCollies@live.com

Makita was born in may 2007, she is spayed and current on vaccinations. Makita is an affectionate and playful girl, she would benefit from a family with a big fenced in yard or someone who just enjoys walks and wants some company. She does sometimes get scared if there is a big thunderstorm, so she would have to be inside with her family because she has been known in the past to jump the fence when she is scared. But she would be a great addition to a family where she can get the love and attention she deserves.
Makita is at Callaway Hills Shelter in New Bloomfield, MO.
Please contact Courtney for more info. about this beautiful girl. courtney.chas@hotmail.com

Baby is a young border collie mix, no more than 3 years old according to the vet. She is completely housebroken, loves to lay under your feet when you are at the computer or watching TV and is good with kids and other dogs.
She Learns fast when using positive renforcement with treats. She is a soft dog and will shut down if she yelled at. Kind words of reassurance and squatting down with arms open telling her she is a good girl calms her down quickly and bring her running to you for
tactile reassurance. She loves hugs and a full body scratch with a Gooood Girl thrown in. I have been using play training and a clicker.
Baby was left behind when her family moved, so I have been taking care of her. She is longing to be close to someone and have her own forever home. It will take time patience and kindness for her to know she is now safe and loved.
Baby is cat agressive and must be placed in a cat free home and without other small animals.
For more information about Baby please contact: Joyce at jpualani@gmail.com or 816-694-3318

Max
Max is almost 3 years old. He has definitely picked up speed in the past 6 months and is like a bullet trying to run as fast as the other two border collies. He has excellent recall and is wonderful off leash. He has now Max has mastered “Cover your eyes” and we are working on crawl, head down, and open the cooler. In addition he knows; sit, down, stay, wait, and leave-it. He takes treats very gently.
Max does still have some triggers that will set him off in a barking state of “what the heck is that!” He is doing much better with the birds at the feeder and squirrels outside, but he is still reactive at times. It is a work in progress. Max is no longer in a crate as he is not destructive at all in the house. Max’s perfect home would be with an experienced BC owner, someone with an active lifestyle to ensure at least 2-3 hours of exercise a day and a person committed to positive leadership and consistency. Max is a very lovable dog and has so much love to give back.
Max is being fostered in SW Michigan near Kalamazoo. For more information about Max, please email comebyebcr@hotmail.com or go to our website at www.comebyebcrescue.rescuegroups.org for an online application to adopt Max. Look for ”Come Bye Border Collie Rescue” on Facebook!

Meet Ella:
Ella was found in the middle of the road as a puppy on a yard rainy night. She would have died if she had not picked up. Unfortunately Ella's owner if being deployed for military service, so she has to find a new home for her.
Ella is approx 1 year old., 35lbs She is spay and current on Vaccinations, she is also on heart worm preventative and advantage multi.
Ella has lived as an outside dog and is not is not housebroke, but she is very smart and would learn very quickly. She gets along great with other dogs, but can be a little pushy when it comes to food, but is fine if you separate her when its time to eat. She is super smart and very sweet. She loves children. She does very well in a crate. When it was very cold at night this winter she was brought inside and she would stay in a crate during the night. She will not potty in her crate, and is quite in it at night as well. Ella has not been around cats, so we don't know how she would do with them.
She can be really mellow and lovey at times but has lots of energy when it comes to playing. She loves to play fetch and will do so for hours on end. Not so
much a Frisbee dog per say. You can throw it and she will go get it and run around the yard with it in her mouth and play with it an then bring it back and look at you like well throw it again so I can go get it.
Ella is a great dog and would make a wonderful family companion.
If you interested in Ella please contact Sheril foxie04@hotmail.com or Cell phone 620-404-9138

Sadie is a 1 yr old Border Collie cross that was turned
into rescue for
being too rough with small children. She is just trying to be friendly
and
doesn't know her own strength. Her formative months were spent in a
shelter
where no one taught her good manners, including not to jump up or mouth
people.
With daily obedience and clear rules she is rapidly turning
into a
great pet. Sadie is affectionate, responsive and willing to learn.
She might
be an excellent prospect for competitive obedience or another sport.
In
addition to being very friendly with people, Sadie loves other
dogs.
She has
great dog manners and would thrive with a canine buddy of similar
size. She
is currently living peacefully with her foster mom's 4 Border
Collies. Sadie
has no behavioral problems aside from a lack of training. Because
of her
history, Sadie will only go to a home with adults or older children
who are
willing to help continue her training. She also needs to go to
a home without cats or with cats who are accustomed to living
with an exuberant
herding breed dog.
She will be ready to go at the end of January;
spayed, fully vaccinated and up to date on heartworm preventative.
For more info on Sadie please contact :
