Ginger & Algy --- (posted 12/10/2023) ---

Ginger and Algy are a pair of fun-loving and energetic BCs who are in urgent need of a new home, due to a major change in family circumstances. The pair are good with children, other dogs, and cats. They have no experience with pocket pets. Both are moderately obedient. They are used to being outdoors, so if you want to have them as indoor companions they may require some housetraining. If you would like some more info about this pair please contact Kylie at kylie.anne.h@gmail.com

Buddy --- (posted 24/10/2023) ---

Buddy - Looking for a Supportive Forever Home. I am a young, Black & White male Border Collie with devilish good looks and a cheeky grin. (DOB 08/09/2022) I have a checkered past, having been rehomed a few times before 4 months of age, including experiencing trauma. Since January 2023, I have been working with professionals to help overcome some of my challenges. I have recently been diagnosed with Anxiety* / Fear Reactivity, Serotonin deficiency and Noradrenaline dysregulation. A specific behavioural training plan and medication has been recommended so that I can lead a more enjoyable and positive life. (*Separation & General) Now that I am aware of exactly what I require to feel happy, healthy, safe and calm, I am ready to find the perfect forever home. For more info on me, Buddy, please contact karen.fisher01@gmail.com

Boggo --- (posted 28/10/2023) ---

Boggo is a vibrant 3-year-old Border Collie with a heart full of energy and love. Spirited and intelligent, Boggo has grown up surrounded by the affection and companionship of his owner. However, due to a recent and unforeseen relocation, we can no longer provide him with the home he has always known. He is well-behaved boy, toilet trained. Boggo's keen instincts, playful nature, and eagerness to bond make him an ideal companion for anyone seeking a loyal friend. But with a few unique challenges. Beneath his lively spirit, he grapples with anxiety, which occasionally manifests in behaviours such as chasing cars or moving things like bicycle or running people, displaying dominance towards smaller dogs, and marking frequently during walks. He can walk well on leash and easily controlled with treats if above situation comes in place. Boggo thrives in a structured environment with clear boundaries, and needs an experienced owner who can provide consistent guidance and dedicated attention. With the right guidance and commitment, this beautiful soul has the potential to overcome his challenges and transform into a more balanced and happy companion. Boggo is looking for that special someone who can see beyond his quirks, offering him a loving home where he can feel secure and understood. With his characteristic Collie enthusiasm, Boggo is ready to embark on a new journey, and hopes to find a loving home where he can continue to flourish.

Charlie --- (posted 7/11/2023) ---

Charlie is a sweet 5-year-old long-haired border collie with a lot of character. He's curious, affectionate, loves to learn and shows great loyalty to the people he's closest to. He loves nothing more than being by your side keeping an eye on everything but easily tolerates being left alone. He loves a cuddle too. Charlie has significant anxiety that is relatively well managed with a combination of medication (sertraline, clonidine and gabapentin), limiting his exposure to stressors and ongoing support from a behaviouralist. Fewer things now cause him stress and he is able to enjoy his environment more. He remains anxious around new people, other dogs and children, which has prompted us to explore rehoming. We're hoping to soon add children to our family and don't think it would be fair to Charlie to put him in that environment. Charlie would need a home without children or other dogs, and an owner who was prepared to manage him and his anxiety carefully (e.g. teaching him to tolerate visitors to the house). If management fails, there is, unfortunately, a risk of harm; he has nipped my partner twice and a relative's dog once. Charlie loves getting out for a walk and is even happier if he happens to get a pat from a stranger while we're out walking. He knows a wide range of commands but can struggle to follow them in the presence of stressors. Having said that, he loves the opportunity to do the right thing and is eager to please. If you think you could offer Charlie a good home, please contact Jess on 0423 852 462 or jessicagibney@gmail.com

Loki and Noctis --- (posted 22/11/2023) ---

Noctis (TRI) and Loki (B&W) are both loving, loyal, balls of energy. They are both good with cats, and children (they can get a bit excited/jumpy). Noctis can be wary/cautious around others dogs, but he has never been aggressive. (He can sound like a little demon when they play though!). They love the water and chasing light reflections/torch lights along the floor. They were crate trained when they were pups and have been living as indoor/outdoor. They were purchased directly from a certified breeder, both are desexed, chipped, and up to date with their vaccinations, worms etc They mostly very good and patient on leash. They did have some obedience training when they were pups, but I only really kept up with sit, and stay. Noctis has Hip Dysplasia in his left hip which he is on pain meds for. He is also afraid of thunderstorms. They have never been around livestock but Noctis loves attempting to round up other dogs at the dog park when they run, and Loki will usually run after him. They will only go to a great home with a loving family who can give them the time and space they need to thrive. For more info on this pair please contact Morgan at morganmaryart@gmail.com

Tommy --- (posted 4/12/2023) ---

Tommy is 9 month old desexed male Border Collie Coolie cross and currently lives with my daughter and I in a single fronted house with small back yard inner city Melbourne Prahran. Tommy's daddy was my fathers Border Collie, Luke. March this year Tommy was one of 6 puppies. Tommy has been abused by my neighbours children whereby they were throwing small rocks and pots at him. From this incident the RSPCA and Animal Management have provided a formal warning to my neighbour. As a consequence of the neighbour's behaviour Tommy is nervous of children and as a fear response barks aggressively at them. School holidays are starting in a few weeks and my neighbours children are very loud and throw balls around in the back yard which is tormenting Tommy. The Veterinarian Animal Behaviourist is concerned this constant taunting reduces Tommy's chance to rehabilitate and trust children. I have spent time with the RSPCA behaviouralists and they believe he is young enough to be desensitised to the negative experience and retrained. Tommy is always at my side as I work from home and whilst he is very high energy he loves sleeping next to me, the beach, lazy walks smelling everything, chasing balls, playing with other dogs and is great with cats. The vets and anyone who meets him describe him as very handsome and a really sweet natured dog. Tommy needs a loving, positive home with people that are experienced, patient and skilled with Border Collies energy to help Tommy recover from his trauma. Tommy deserves a home where he can be given the opportunity to be re-educated to trust children again with the love and attention he has in our home. For more info on Tommy please contact Ann Margaret at laidlaw0@optusnet.com.au

Rosie and Rex Rosie and Rex are 9 year old long haired black and white Border Collies. They are both obedient, well-behaved dogs and can obey basic commands such as sit, shake hands roll over and fetch. Rosie is the more affectionate of the two who loves the water, running on the beach and cuddles where Rex is the more dominant of the two and loves playing fetch, bush walks and chewing his comfort toys. Both Rosie and Rex have never shown any aggressive behaviour towards adults or other dogs and have also been brought up in a house with cats, however they can be quite territorial of their food and toys. Unfortunately they have been showing some worrying behaviour towards our 2 year old daughter, and recently Rex has snapped at her when she went too close to his bowl, leading us to make the heart braking decision to re-home them. We feel Rex and Rosie would be great addition to a loving home with no young children. We would prefer Rosie and Rex to stay together as they have lived together their entire lives and feel they would be happier together. Both dogs are desexed and microchipped. If you would like any more info on Rosie and Rex please email us at shareebrown6@live.com.au. We live in Bunbury, WA

Cocoa --- (posted 31/12/2023) ---

We have had to come to the unfortunate decision that our beloved border collie Cocoa will need to be rehomed. Cocoa is a 11 year old pure bred chocolate border collie who loves the beach, playing with balls, and going for walks or runs. Unfortunately she has exhibited some troubling behaviours for her whole life which we have been unable to change. Her temperament is not good and she does not like any ongoing affection from other dogs. She enjoys her time alone and is rather aggressive towards other people and in discussing with family in the interest of our family she needs to be rehomed. Would suit a person without kids and a large property with plenty of room to roam. She is generally an outside dog and since birth has not liked being inside. No health issues. For more info on cocoa please contact chris at cekelly21@gmail.com

Pepper --- (posted 29/2/2024) ---

Pepper is an almost completely black girl with a smooth coat and gorgeous ears. She grew up on a 7 acre property, but due to family changes is now in need of a new home. It doesn't need to be an acreage, but it does need to be in a household with time to spend with her, and lots of love to give her. She needs to be an inside dog at least some of the time. Her interactions with people is important to her. Pepper is housetrained and knows a lot of commands. She loves to play, loves balls (is very hard on them tho) and loves to be with you. She has a few dislikes but nothing unmanageable. She has grown up with children and seems to be OK with them, including ones she doesn't know well. She is probably not good with cats or pocket pets. Pepper is used to doggy day care and loves playing with other dogs. Pepper is in good health, and desexed and vaccinated and chipped. If you are looking to include an active and loving girl in your household, she might be just what you are looking for. For more info please contact Chanel at chanelmullen@yahoo.com.au
