Many BCs in Dog Pounds --- (updated regularly) ---

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 here to go directly to the section for Border Collies.

Janet --- (posted 22/4/2009) ---

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. For more info on Janet contact Julie on 02 6373 5121 or email sandlsixsmith@yahoo.com.au

Ozy --- (posted 29/4/2009) ---

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. For more information contact Jenny on 0438 268 848

Sasha --- (posted 31/5/2009) ---

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. For more information contact Heather at huplescat@gmail.com

Napoleon --- (posted 18/6/2009) ---

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. For more information contact Julie on 02 9599 0323

Shadow --- (posted 21/6/2009) ---

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. For more information please contact Russell on 0424 550 249

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.

Misty --- (posted 24/6/2009) ---

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
