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.
Cooper --- (posted 16/5/2017) ---
Cooper is a beautiful young BC boy who likes being part of the
family, being indoors, or playing in his wading pool (he loves water).
However, Cooper is not well-socialised, especially with men, and also
reactive. He is fearful of novel things and experiences. This has
made his behaviour a bit unpredictable: he will be happily getting a
tummy rub from someone, and then decide he doesn't like it and
growl.
Cooper is so unhappy with the idea of a walk that he just won't move, so
he doesn't walk on lead at present.
Cooper is not the dog for an ordinary pet home, or a home with young
children. He needs an experienced dog-savvy family who will be
prepared to put an effort into socialising him and setting rules for
his young life. Assistance from a vet behaviouralist would be BCRA's
advice. If you have lived with a less straightforward dog
before, and would like to give Cooper a chance, then please contact
Kerri on 07 54329115 or 0432 241 054
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
Milo --- (posted 14/6/2017) ---
Milo is a gorgeous boy who has had a bad experience being rehomed, at
2 years old, and he is now hoping for a home that has some experience
with BCs. Milo is currently in a shelter, and he isn't very settled
there. Milo is friendly with people, and OK with other dogs. He is
inexperienced with small children. Milo's initial home wanted him for
a working dog, but his working instinct is apparently not strong
enough for this vocation. Milo is desexed, and just looking
for a home that wants a smart, active dog. For more info on Milo
please contact Julie on 0421 203 619.
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

Gypsy --- (posted 15/6/2017) ---
Gypsy is a very beautiful girl who needs a new home because she is too
much to handle in a home that has youngsters as well. Gyspy is an
anxious girl and she needs a home that is prepared to take on a dog
who will require more than the usual amount of effort. The combination
of her anxiety and not getting enough to do at the moment is resulting
in destructive behaviour which needs to be managed. Acceptable
alternative outlets needs to be found. In the right home she will have
a lot to offer, as she is a sweet and intelligent girl. A trial in her
new home is an option. For more infomration please contact Shay on
0406 180 356
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
Missy --- (posted 19/6/2017) ---
Missy was rehomed 12 months ago, as she was living with a family in an
apartment. She is a gorgeous girl, but her lack of training in her
early years has created a young BC girl who doesn't know how to be
quiet in her own company, and so she finds destructive things to do
including digging holes.
She also doesn't walk well on lead. Her current family want to find a
home who understands BCs and has the time to put into managing and
modifying her behaviour. Missy has a lovely nature, and gets on well
with other dogs and is unphased by children. For more information on
Missy please contact Gail on 0429 999 213
