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

directly to the section for Border Collies.
2 1/2 yo male BC Ben has high drive and would make
an excellent agility dog. He is a proud & flamboyent boy. He is good with
other dogs and good on the lead. Ben is a black & white pure bred border
collie with a handsome, mostly black face. Ben currently greets people by
jumping up into their faces. This behaviour should be lessened and replaced
with an appropriate greeting in time. Ben has had all his vet work done.
For more information on Benny call Phoebe on 02 4967 5748 or email

6 months, male and female black and white BC crosses Sprite is an energetic, outgoing and
intelligent dog. She walks beautifully on lead, she is toilet trained and has
lovely house manners. She loves to run and play with other dogs and is well
socialised with people. Sprite will excel at dog obedience and would love to
participate in dog related sports activities. As a member of a working breed
she is best suited to an active home with a family who is looking for
intimate and interactive companionship. Sprite will require a patient family
to see her through the chewing and digging phases of puppy hood while she
develops into a loyal and committed companion.
Obi is an active, gentle and affectionate dog. He has a quiet intelligence,
which will make him excel at dog obedience school where he will undoubtedly
be top of his class. Obi loves playing with other dogs and seeks close
companionship from people. He is wonderful on the lead and displays polite
house manners. As a member of a working breed Obi is suited to an active
family who enjoys walking, jogging and has a genuine love of the outdoors.
Obi will require a patient family to see him through the usual chewing and
digging phases of puppy hood. The rewards for the right family will be great
as Obi will develop into a well balanced and loyal companion. Obi seeks
lifelong friendship from a likeminded family. If you would like to meet Obi
and his sister Sprite please contact Kate on 0405 237 149.
6 year old female BC Gemma is a gorgeous (almost) 6 year
old girl
who is fearful of small children, and so she needs a home where she will not
be exposed to them, or where she can be kept safe from interactions if they
visit. Like most fearful BCs, she will snap if children push too far. She is
lovely
with adults. Gemma is an active girl. She likes to run, and she loves water.
Chasing
the water from a hose is one of her favourite games. She also loves chasing
a tennis ball that has been hit a good long way. She is a very intelligent girl
with a strong herding instinct. Gemma loves riding in the car, and she also
enjoys long walks - the longer the better. Gemma is a pedigree, desexed,
black and white girl, and petite for the breed.
For more information contact Tom on 02 9487 6022 or 0414 480 375.
5 year old male BC Zac is a 5 year old
chocolate boy looking for a new home. He is excellent with others
dogs, and cats and children. Zac really needs to be in a home with
another dog. He was previously in such a home and the presence of
another dog is what he wants. If you are looking for a boy who is past
the goofy puppy years then Zac might be for you.
For more information on Zac contact Ann on 02 4998 1238
6 month old black male BC cross Jet is extremely friendly and always wants to do what is
right. He is perfect on the lead. He stays at your left knee and doesn't pull at all - he's a
natural. Since he has learnt to 'sit' on command, he comes around to sit in front of you and
waits patiently until you release him. He is a very friendly and curious, like most pups. He
just loves a cuddle and chasing balls. He'll make the perfect companion and family dog.
Being an active, working breed, Jet could be a future dog sports
candidate. Jet can be viewed at pet rescue's website:

3 year old black and white BC boy Tim Tim's owners have to
move to a rental, and haven't been able to find one that will take
pets. They thought that they had found him a good new home, but that
person has change their mind at the last minute, so things are urgent
for Tim Tim. He is a lovely, friendly boy, a little boisterous, but
then 3 years old is still a puppy for a male BC :) Tim Tim has a full
coat and is desexed with all his vet work done. He is great with
children and also with other dogs. He has no experience with cats. Tim
Tim is thunderphobic, but not scared of fireworks. His recall offlead,
ouside the yard, still needs some work.

7 year old attractive black and white BC boy Dagwood has been surrendered
to the pound by his owner after he was collected by the council ranger.
Dagwood had gotten out of his yard (through a gap in the fence) and had an
altercation with another dog. He is a very pretty boy, and has been
assessed by an ACT rescue group as a good rehoming candidate. Some
further assessment is to be done on Dagwood. He is in a foster home
now, and although not quite ready to be rehomed yet, may be available
soon. He is a very sweet, soft boy who has had some hard times. He was
suspected of having issues with small white fluffies, but this is to be
further assessed.
For more information on Dagwood please contact Kathleen on
0418 481306 or email aussikate@hotmail.com
Three dispossessed dogs
Three sad dogs have lost
their owner - he has passed on. They are in kennelling and hoping for
a new home. They do not all have to be rehomed together, but two of
them would seem to prefer it.
Glenda is a female black/white approx 8 years, neutered, lounge
lizard, currently overweight. Glenda would make a great pet for somebody who
is close to retirement. She has never been around children. Glenda
has a bit of a sensitive tummy. Her vacs are all up to date.
Wade is black/white male 2 years, neutered and purebred.
Wade would settle into a family, he doesn't have a huge coat but like Glenda
he too is overweight. Wade has had no contact with kids.
Wade would make a good agility dog.
Boy, is not a BC, he's a Cairn terrier, neutered around 4-5 years. He gets on
well with Glenda and it would be really good to rehome them together,
although not essential. Boy cannot be relocated to an environment with
small animals such as cats or chickens. He is a well behaved boy.
For more information on these three call Chris on 02 48373027. there
is an answering machine if the phone isn't answered immediately.
2 yo male BC
Bub is a two year old Border Collie, desexed
and microchipped. He plays quite happily with a five year old and
fourteen year old child.
He also gets along well with the small dog in the household. He is a
very affectionate boy and he knows basic commands. Bub was apparently
being bullied by other dogs in his previous home.
For more information contact Bub's carers on 0247396346 or 0400403393.
2 yo male BC cross
Oska is a 2yr old Border Collie X
who was rescued from the pound at roughly 12 weeks old. He is black and
white and of medium size. He is adorable and a real little smooch!!
He can sit, drop, wait for his food, stay (when he wants to!) and
come to his name and shake hands. Being a BC he is loaded with energy but
I feel confident walking him off lead anywhere. Oska is very sociable
and loves playing with other dogs. He has been best mates with the
staffy in his household. Oska is also used to being in a household with
a small baby. Oska loves chasing a ball - that is his main form of
exercise. He has been around horses and other stock and has shown no
inclination to chase them, although they do interest him. Oska would do
well in a single dog household with lots of attention, or with a doggy
buddy as well. He is used to sleeping indoors, and is desexed,
microchipped, vaccinated etc. Sadly, Oska's owner has had to move from
a property to a townhouse, and it is no place for a 2 yo BC.
For more information contact Rebekkah on 0411279054 or (02) 62990595
4 year old female BC Lab cross
Jessi would make a great pet in a home
where she was the only dog. It is her issues with other dogs that have her looking
for a new home. She loves fetching balls in the park, is good with kids & knows how
to sit, heel, drop & come when called. Jessi has started training for obedience
trials and she is doing very well at this. She would probably be great at flyball
too. Jessi is a pretty, very nicely proportioned girl with classic BC markings
and a short coat. She is desexed, & also fully vaccinated.
For more information contact her owners on 4329 2414
2 year old male BC
Pete's greatest love in life is to run! He
would best suit a home on acreage or in a farm environment. He has been tried already
as a worker but wasn't interested, so will be re - homed as a pet only. He adores
the company of other dogs and will happily play with other dogs big and small. He
is not fond of cats and needs to go to a home without cats. He walks well on lead
and sits beautifully in the car. He is not destructive and has no neurotic behaviours.
He is an absolute pleasure to have around and will make a great companion for someone
on the land. Pete is desexed etc.

nearly 5 year old male BC
Jake is de-sexed. He is
nearly 5 years old. He has an old soul and is one of the most beautiful dogs
I've ever met. He's loving and affectionate and loves kids and just people in
general. He is obedience trained and is very intellegant. BUT he is a jumper.
He needs an active life where he can run and run and run...

young b&w female BC
This girl is impound number 82388 at Mildura pound. She is a
classic looking girl with a medium length coat. She may be a cross
but she looks like a BC. Her assessor describes her as very friendly,
well trained and intelligent. Her health appears to be good, and she
comes when called. She appears to be easily intimidated by other dogs.
For more information on this lovely miss, contact Mildura pound direct -
03 5018 8210.
2 year old mostly white female BC lab cross
Lucy is nearing 2 years old.
She is a sweetheart, mostly white with a black patch on one eye.
She is a bit smaller than a lab would normally be and she has an
easy-care short coat. She is a very loyal dog, she is ok outside
alone, will sleep outside but loves the warmth of inside at times and is always on her
best behaviour if let inside. She will bark from time to time, probably less than most
labradors which helps with neighbours that dislike continual barking. She loves walks
and requires them daily. Lucy is excellent on the lead and has had basic training.
She'll play fetch all day if she could, she loves the beach and would make an excellent
addition to any family. Ideally you will have a good size backyard, but high fencing is
not an issue, she doesn't jump fences. She just needs some space to run and play fetch
with her new owners.
If you think you have the dedication and love required to adopt my girl,
please send me an email and I will be in touch. I am located in Wollongong.

yo boy who's owner has had to travel for work. He loves long walks and
ball games (no surprises there) and he wants to be active. Gangi is

not quite 2 year old red and white male BC
Maddox (Maddy) is a friendly and
sweet natured boy who has been rescued after being unwanted by his
original owner. His carers have now got ownership, so they can choose
the best right home for Maddy. He is healthy and desexed. Being a
young BC he is going to need ongoing training and management,
including regular exercise and mental stimulation. Anything less will
be asking him to create amusements of his own, which no-one else will
find amusing (same as any young BC).
