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

Nala --- (posted 7/3/2017) ---
Nala is simply a sweetie, who loves all the usual BC pastimes,
including going to the beach, walks, tug and fetch. She also likes
cats, and generally other dogs, tho a little dog barking at her makes
her react. Nala loves interacting with her people. She is used to
being an outdoor dog, but would love to be allowed to stay indoors
with her family. Nala's youth and reactivity make her best suited to a
family with older children. For more info on Nala place contact Terese
at tacaroid@gmail.com or phone 0415 669 953
Molly --- (posted 13/4/2017) ---
Molly is a sweet, pretty medium-length coated girl who loves people,
including children and also loves other dogs. She is on the smaller
side of a typical border collie. Molly is a very high
energy girl, she loves to play fetch. She needs a home which will give her lots of mental and
physical exercise. She will also need some management, to redirect her
energies from undesireable behaviours including barking and chewing.
For more info about Molly please contact Kathryn on 0413098753
Louie --- (posted 27/4/2017) ---
Louie is a loving 7 yo black BC cross lab. She has a white blaze on
her chest, and is lighter boned than your average lab, and she has a smooth
coat. She's a very attractive girl. Louie loves company, has been easy
to train as she just wants to be obedient, and to be with you. She loves
being patted and scritched. Her favourite games are swimming and
fetching the ball. Louie's family has expanded with the
addition of small children, and Louie isn't comfortable around them,
and this is causing her anxiety. A home is sought for Louie where she
will be with experienced owners who understand that some dogs prefer
adult company. Her anxiety with children can probably be improved, but
it would need to be a gradual process, and this can't be managed in
her current home. For more info on Louie please contact Penny on 0402
736 567.
Chewie and Mae --- (posted 30/5/2017) ---
Major changes in family cirumstances have resulted in Chewie and Mae
needing to find a new home. They are a happy pair of littermates who
love all people and activity, and yet are able to settle as indoor
layabouts, chilling out with the family too. They are in excellent
health. They are highly
obedient, although they've not been formally trained. The pair are not
well socilaised with other dogs. However, they can become very
friendly with other dogs when they get to know them, and their current
best chums are a pair of groodles. Some positive
re-inforcement when meeting new dogs will probably improve their
enthusiasm for meeting more different dogs. Both are desexed. For more
info on the pair please contact Juliette: julietteguthrie@hotmail.com
or phone 0434 039 304
Mieko --- (posted 14/6/2017) ---
Mieko is a beautiful but very soft female BC who needs a home that has
experience with BC's, especially timid ones. Mieko is super
intelligent, and knows all her toys by name and colour, and can find your
phone for you, if you've forgotten where you put it. Mieko's
intelligence comes with anxiety and over-thinking, which makes her
nervous about anything that she doesn't know (sounds or objects). She
was frightened by a squealing toddler when she was a pup, and
has never gotten over that, so she is scared of all little people.
Mieko's anxiety over strange things includes other dogs. Meiko needs
an experienced BC-owning home, where she will be able to be an indoor
dog, and where her confidence with all things strange can slowly be
positively developed. Mieko is desexed with one blue eye and one brown
eye. For more information on Mieko please contact Belinda on 0404 248

Maisy --- (posted 19/6/2017) ---
Maisy's family are looking for the very best home for her. She is a
sweet short coated girl who is good with people, other dogs, cats,
horses and chickens (free range). Maisy is currently living on a property with two
other BCs. They spend all day playing together - in fact they are not
really interested in interacting with their family, they are so caught
up in their pack. Maisy is not afraid of thunder or loud noises. She
is housetrained, although she is used to sleeping in the garage. A
family with a bit of space, and a plan to do active things with their
dogs will be Maisy's ideal new home. For more info on Maisy please
contact Nicole at nicolem737@gmail.com
Leo and Max --- (posted 25/6/2017) ---
Leo (caramel and white) and Max (black and white) are a pair of
littermates who have never been separated, so the preference is to
find them a home together. Their current family have realised that
taking on two young BCs was more than they expected, and with very
mixed feelings they are looking for a home that will have more time
to spend with, and manage, these two boys. Both of them know basic
commands and will sit, or wait to eat. They are very friendly, and
exuberant in their greetings. They love activity, and walks and
playing tug. Neither of them is very fussed with a ball. They both
love a snuggle. Leo and Max will need to be desexed as a condition of
their rehoming. Their vaccinations are current. For more info on these
lovely boys please contact Ricky on 0414 629 364
Cody --- (posted 20/7/2017) ---
Cody is a gorgeous girl (wheaten and white) who will be 9 in
September. Cody has been in the same home since she was born.
Unfortunately she is scared of little children, and her home now
contains a couple of them. This causes Cody daily stress, and a home
where she can be loved, and be an indoor dog again is sought.
She is very well trained. Sits, waits, fetches balls, and is good with
her food. She will wait to eat, and she loves praise.
She is an absolutely wonderful
dog. Just not around kids... Cody is used to being with other dogs.
With adults, Cody can be nervous
around strangers. She accepts unknown people fine if they
let her interact with them in her own time.
Cody was house-trained, before the children came along. She was
expected to stay on her bed when in the house, and she was perfect at
this. Her obedience and ability to be trained is high.
If you can provide a home without small children, and you would like a mature BC
where what you see is exactly what you
get, Cody is a charming girl looking for adults to love. For more
information please contact Kate at kate_shelley7@hotmail.com
