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.
Janet is thought to be
about 15 months old. She was a stray, and a family took her into their
care. However she can't be part of their long term plans so they want
to find her a good home. She is a short-coated tricolour girl and very pretty.
It is uncertain what her breeding is, she may be a BC cross. But she
has the exuberance and intelligence of a BC. She enjoys playing with other dogs,
and has a lot of energy. She has some
puppyish issues that will need management, such as chewing pot plants
- just like any adolescent BC. Consistency and positive feedback for
good behaviour will go a long way towards making her a great long-term
companion. We have no information on how she copes with small
children. Janet is going to be desexed before she is rehomed.

Ozy is a lovely, mostly
white BC cattle dog cross who is only 17 months old. Her family have
been forced to move, and cannot get accomodations that will accept a
dog. So they are looking for either a new home for Ozy, or a home
prepared to care for her for about 6 months, and then they would hope
to have her back. Their main concern is a good outcome for Ozy, so if
you think you might like to try fostering, or if you think Ozy might
be your new companion, please get in touch. She is shortcoated, great
with children and she thrives on activity, although she is not over
the top.

Dusty is only 10 months

people. She has been good with small child in the household.

Sasha was displaced from
her original home after the arrival in the house of a new baby. Now
her carer is looking for a permanent home for her. She is a very
active, intelligent BC (no surprises there) and needs a home with a
plan to give her ongoing training and exercise. She has been
overweight but is trimming down now. She loves tug! and will herd
beetles if she can, so she is not a dog to be left as a pet in a
backyard. Sasha is desexed and fully vaccinated.

Napoleon is a gorgeous
golden coloured boy who has elemnts of spaniel (eg his ears) and BC
(he loves to play fetch) in him. He is a youngster, and very happy and
friendly. He is used to living with a toddler. He loves to play, and
although he has had some training, this ought to be continued, to
develop his reliability. Napoleon has a good recall in the park. His
family have realised that they are never going to have more time to
spend with him, and want to find him a better home. Napoleon will be
desexed as part of the condition of his rehoming.

Shadow is as large as a German Shepherd
with a similar coat texture, mostly black with white points, and
bright blue piercing eyes. No one will walk uninvited into your yard
when they look into those eyes! Looks sure can be deceiving.
Shadow is microchipped as a Border Collie crossbred with a Siberian
Husky (which is why he found himself in Husky Rescue). He was taken to
a Sydney Council Dog Pound by his owners who no longer wanted such a
big and energetic dog - once he outgrew the cute and cuddly puppy stage.
Shadow has learned the basic obedience exercises
very well, and has proven to be an eager and willing pupil in house
manners and walking nicely on a leash. He is very friendly towards
people, but is too big to be walked safely by children under (say) 12
years old. He plays with our other dogs - but is too over-bearing to
be left unsupervised with small breeds, puppies or cats.
Shadow
goes on a 4 week trial initially to see how he settles in with your
family. Available for $ 160 which covers Council Pound and Vet fees ONLY
To find out more about him or to arrange a time to meet him please call:
Richard & Mara Herba: 02 6236 6404 (after dark is best)
(Husky Rescue)
Email siberians@ozemail.com.au
PLEASE DON'T ENQUIRE ABOUT SHADOW UNLESS
* you have a fully fenced and very secure yard
* you are prepared to exercise him twice daily for 30 minutes of power
walking or bike riding (on leash) - A tired dog is a happy dog - and a
well behaved one as a bonus!
* Shadow is allowed indoors with you - this will help him bond and
accept the family
* There are no "pocket pets" in the household
* you are prepared to take him to weekly dog obedience training
classes and practice the exercises every day
Joy is a delight of a dog.
Sadly her family are relocating to a no-pets area, and she needs to
find another home. Joy is a petite pure-bred black and white girl. She loves
people and is good with small children. She is house-trained, knows
quite a few commands, and loves walking and playing with a ball. She
is a typical BC, but well behaved. Joy has been desexed and is just
waiting for her new home to find her.

Jess is an active and
handsome 3 year old medium coat Border
Collie. He's a very friendly boy who is well socialised with people
and dogs. He is obedient, can sit and walks quite well on lead
although does pull a little.
Jess sleeps outside but spends time inside when his owner is home. He
is housetrained and travels well in the car.
Jess is desexed, up to date with his vaccinations
and is microchipped.
Jess's owner is no longer able to look after him and give him the
exercise and attention he needs.
If you're interested in this lovely boy please call
Brian on 6227 4143
Misty is a lovely 3 yo
desexed female who is in a Sydney suburb and needs more space and more
time spent with her. Misty likes people and loves going to the park.
Misty has a lot of energy, and needs some regular activities to burn
it up. Being in a back yard on her own through the day is not
sufficient stimulation for a dog like Misty. She has a long full coat
and being only three will need ongoing training and management.
For more information please contact Giselle at glhugh@bigpond.net.au
This gorgeous tricolour boy

dogs and he is in good condition, including his coat. For more
information contact Queanbeyan pound on 02 6299 6000
