Meet Cody, our new foster dog!

09/9/2012

The other day, we were notified about a blue and white Border Collie at the Stanislaus County Animal Shelter in Modesto, CA.  He was scheduled to be euthanized on 9/1/12, but due to the Labor Day holiday, fortunately he escaped death.  We picked him up on Thursday and took him home and he spent two […]

Bonny has been adopted!

09/7/2012

Our beautiful girl, Bonny, was adopted on Monday.  She found a very loving forever home with a handsome new red merle BC.  We were sad to see her go, but know it on our hearts that she will be very happy and well loved. 🙂

Meet Bonny, our new foster dog!

08/16/2012

The other day we rescued a beautiful girl we named Bonny from the animal shelter in Los Banos.  She’s about three years old and is a black and white split-face rough coat Border Collie.  She’s such a nice, sweet dog and it’s a shame that her former owners did not care enough to come looking […]

Meet our new foster dog, Scarlett!

07/30/2012

Yesterday, we picked out our newest foster dog, Scarlett. She’s a red and white female Border Colllie about 1 1/2 years old.  She’s been vet-checked, spayed and is healthy, other than being underweight.  Once she gains weight and receives nourishment, she will fill out and grow a fuller coat. Scarlett was found in Calavares County […]

Meet Oreo & Gertie

07/19/2012

Last week, we picked up a litter of five Border Collie mix puppies that were abandoned at a local shelter. We split the litter and kept two while the other three went to another foster homo.  We decided to keep the blue merle and named her Gertrude — Gertie for short. And the runt of […]

Our new foster dog, Maggie

Well, we’ve been quite busy with summer plans and recently returned from a trip to NYC.  We’re now getting back to our routine and picked up our newest foster dog this last weekend at the Merced County Animal Shelter. Her name is Maggie and she’s a black & white long-haired Border Collie spayed female.  We […]

Leinie has been adopted!

04/29/2012

  Leinie was adopted today!  He now resides with two other red & white border collies in Visalia.  He seemed so content and happy when he met his new pack.  It’s definitely the beginning of his new life and I think he will have a great future. 🙂

Leinie Update!

04/16/2012

Well, it has been almost two weeks since Leinie arrived.  He was a very nervous, timid dog when he first came to us, with a lot of nervous urinating and hiding.  He spent several days sitting alone in a lazyboy on our porch before he joined the rest of our pack and started interacting with […]

Meet Leinie

04/3/2012

Yesterday, I picked up our second foster dog, Leinie.  He’s a short-haired red and white border collie (possibly a mix) and I don’t think he could be more than a year old, if that.  He’s a small dog and very sweet, but he’s a little shy, nervous and scared. Leinie (named after one of our […]

Paddy is now adopted! :)

03/31/2012

Our first BC Rescue dog, Paddy, was adopted today! 🙂  He went home with his new family and will now be living in Sacramento.  His new momma is a wildlife biologist and an athlete and I’m certain that he’ll be very happy in his new home.  🙂

Paddy is now online!

03/27/2012

It’s been a wonderful week and a half with Paddy!  He’s been learning how to catch frisbees, bring them back, and drop the frisbee for us to throw again.  He really is an exceptional athlete such a quick learner.  I think he’d be great at agility or as a rescue dog.  He is really good […]
