Assorted BCs There is now
a website
specifically to list working dogs in pounds. If you would consider adopting a
BC direct from a pound, then please have a look. Many dogs die each week in
pounds due to the lack of sufficient good homes. Click

Dali is a young BC who is
now in a household of small children, and he doesn't understand
toddlers. The family don't have enough time to give him the life
that he needs.
He is on the small side for a BC, cute with some speckles on his nose.
He is a very intelligent looking boy.
Dali likes people, but he is too much of a herder to be permitted free
interaction with small children. He likes to be patted and he loves to
be scritched under his jaw! Dali doesn't like cats and he is very good
at the commands he knows. (Basic but easily trained). Dali doesn't like
thunder, or really high pitched noises, like so many BCs.
A home with children over 10, or adults, is sought. Not surprisingly,
Dali's favourite game is fetch. Dali is desexed and in good health.
For more info on Dali please contact Julie on 0410 171 735
Molly was rehomed when her
owner moved into a unit recently. Unfortunately, Molly was a bit bossy
with the little dog who already lived in the household, so she is
looking again for a home. Molly is a classic black and white girl with
a shorter coat. She loves people, and loves to be part of what is
going on. Being 10 she doesn't need a lot of exercise, but she loves a
walk, or just to be with you. Molly has been with her previous owner her
whole life.
For more info on Molly please contact Lori on 07 5500 5435 or 0414 570

Jay Jay is an attractive
black and white boy with a long coat. Although he is a nice-natured
boy, he lacks confidence and is anxious about meeting other dogs. This
leads to aggressive displays. Jay
Jay needs a new home with an owner who can spend some time helping him
to develop his confidence and reward his good behaviours. Good
management and positive reinforcement should see continued development
of this boy. A home
without small children would also be appropriate as Jay Jay is
uncertain how to behave with toddlers.
Jay Jay is desexed and microchipped.

4 year old desexed female
blue border collie available now. Please call 02 9403 7755 for more
information.
Cedar is a beautiful,
friendly boy who sadly finds himself in a situation where his family
needs to find another home for him.
His people have had him since he was a puppy and describe him as a
wonderful, undemanding friend who really only asks for a good daily
bush walk, a good meal and plenty of love and affection. Cedar is a
smart boy and is good with small children (although wisely, his people
supervise this interaction). He walks well off-lead and gets on with
most other dogs although he is happy as an only dog. He is
house-trained but likes to sleep in the garage at night. He seems to
be a bit fearful of cars so his people walk him in the Parks. He is
not good with cats, and likes to chase them if they stray onto his
property. He will also bark at kookaburras!
Cedar is desexed, wormed and vaccinated and registered in the ACT
.
If you feel you could give Cedar loving home please contact Karen from
BCRA

Holly and Nanuk are a
lovely pair of BC girls who must be rehomed together. Holly (10) is the
quieter girl, and would be best in a home with no little children. She
loves playing with Nanuk. Nanuk (9) is the fun-loving girl, adventurous
and outgoing. She loves to swim or play with the hose. Both girls are
good looking. Their new home will need to have the capability to
provide love, time, and exercise for both.
For more info on the pair contact karendavidson@me.com or 0434 563 176
These two boys are both
looking for new homes from the Save A Dog group in Victoria. Wally is
a classic boy about 8 years old. He is a lovely middle-aged boy - not
an active go-getter. Snoopy is listed as a cross, but is a mismark and
could be all BC. His enthusiastic temperament sounds like a BC anyway.
Pictures of them both can be viewed at
http://www.saveadog.org.au/dogs/dogs_medlarge.asp
They are not looking for a home together.
For more info on either boy contact 03 9824 7928 or 9885 1188
Frankie has had a bad turn
of luck. His two elderly humans have been put into care, leaving him
without a home. Frankie (named after ole blue eyes, since he has two
lovely blues eyes) is a bit on the fat side, having been cared for
with little exercise and too much human food in recent years. He needs
a home which will give him some regular exercise, gentle at first,
with a good (reducing) diet to get him back in shape. Frankie has a
lovely temperament, and is used to having company at home with him.
Frankie has been clipped for summer, but normally has a full coat.
for more info on Frankie please contact Dave on 07 3282 9902
Tess is a real charmer,
bundled up in a petite wheaten and white package. Her coat is medium
length. Through no fault of
hers, she is going to have to find a new home. This girl has no real
issues. She is smart, well-trained (incl houstrained), obedient, good with people,
children and other dogs, in her early years lived happily with an
elderly cat, and she loves to play. Tess is scared of lawnmowers, and
this either needs to be managed (keep her away from them) or worked
through with her to lessen her fear. Tess is desexed, chipped,
vaccinated etc, and waiting for the right home to come along. Only the
best home will do. For more info contact Louise on 02 4621 4947.
Chloe is a much loved
family pet who is having to be rehomed due to an allergy in one of her
humans. Chloe is desexed, vaccinated and generally in good health, although her
hearing is starting to lessen. Chloe loves attention, people, gentle
walks, drives in the car and especially food. She has some food
sensitivities, which simply require watching what she eats. Chloe is
used to a household with other dogs and a cat. If you were looking for
a dignified doggy companion, Chloe could be just the girl for you.
For more info on Chloe please contact anna.kovacs@anu.edu.au
Bella and Bessie: A lovely
pair of girls who are being rehomed through no fault of their own. A
ready-made comfortable, BC family.
Both female, ages 10 and 8. Both wheaten and white.
Desexed and regularly vetted. They would be suited to large yard or
preferably rural property. The younger one, Bella, would make an ideal
pet - very calm, timid dog. Bella is in excellent allround health. The older
dog, Bessie, is a good dog though a little dominant. She has had a hip
operation a couple of years ago which has left her with a slight stiffness when
she first gets up. Apart from that her health is very good. They are both
trim and fit and always get great comments from vet re health. Note
that although middle-aged these two will still require mental and
physical exercise.
Preferred to be rehomed together, as they are chums, but it is not a necessity.
Any inquiries Phone Glen on 00402358324.
Titan --- (posted 2/2/2010) --- Titan is a loved family pet
who has developed the habit of escaping if he is alone and not
content. In all other regards he is a lovely boy, loving people and a
bit shy of other dogs. He is also scared of storms, which exacerbates
his escaping behaviour when these occur. Titan needs a new home that
will commit to never letting him escape. The habit that exists in his
current home can be broken in a new environment, as long as he never
gets to repeat it. So concerted management will be needed, especially
in the first months, to ensure that he doesn't manage an escape.
He is a relative youngster at 5 and has a lot to offer the home that
can manage and love him. BCRA can offer some advice to homes that
might be considering him. Titan is desexed and fully vetted.
For more info please contact Suzanne on 0439 496 337.
Kody --- (posted 5/2/2010) --- Kody is a 10 year old male
Border Collie that needs a loving family. He has been with the one
family for all this time, and is a lovely family dog.
Unfortunately since moving into their new house they can only have 1
dog in the house. Kody is desexed, very clean, good natured...
Well trained, walks with and without a lead. Loves to chase and return the ball.
Great with our 2 kids.. He even shakes hands when it's time for dinner..
We are looking to place him in a home that he deserves..
For any more info, please call Sam on 0434 656 440
or email to raynsam at netspace dot net dot au
Jessie --- (posted 8/2/2010) --- Jessie is an absolute
darling girl. She was literally saved from being shot at the last
minute.
She is just a beautiful girl that gets on with both male and female
dogs - even with the male annoying her, she was unfazed. She is
friendly and calm around other dogs with nice doggie manners. She
enjoys the company of people (and will happily go to strangers) - she
loves pats, but is not needy. She is soft and biddable and happy to be
handled all over. She is not a fence jumper or barker. She really
enjoys running around and playing ball and will amuse herself with the
ball for hours!
Jessie is an easy girl to have around and would fit into a family home
with other dogs. She will have moderate exercise requirements.
