Cooper --- (posted 6/7/2024) ---
Cooper is a 2.5 yo old, desexed male Border Collie. My wife bought
him as a semi-retirement dog for herself but has been working 7 days a week for most
of the past year.
He is a lovely dog and has had some training and can walk well on
leash. He recently had a
four week intensive "boarding school" training experience and he is
certainly much easier to
manage and very attentive to his humans wishes. He is very
defensive of his food and the breeder says that he was the boss of the
litter in that respect.
There are two smaller, older dogs at home and he gets along well with
them but would like
them to be more playful, same for the cat.
Cooper doesn't spend much time alone at home so he hasn't developed
any boredom
related bad habits.
Our main concern is that if he gets loose from our yard due to human
error he will run up to
people and bark aggressively and we have even seen him grab a truck
driver by his pants
leg. He does not like trucks (recent training has greatly improved his
reaction to vehicles) and also wants to chase scooters and
bicycles which makes us
very nervous. Currently the excitement of freedom overcomes his
training and catching him
can be a strenuous and time consuming activity.
Given that our business commitment look like increasing, we think
Cooper deserves a home
where he can be given the education and attention he needs by people
who know and love
Border Collies. Cooper has not had contact with small children or
sheep so I would be wary
of introducing him to either without close supervision.
I suspect a semi-rural home would suit him beautifully. For more info
on Cooper please contact Peter at petercook474@gmail.com
Dom and Perri --- (posted 30/8/2025) ---
This happy and gorgeous pair of boys are looking for a new home, due to no fault
of their own, but rather and change in situation for their owners. They
love attention and get along really well together. They are very
affection with their people. Both their parents
are successful sheep herding dogs. (Dad is a BC, Mum is a kelpie).
To assist them setting into a new home, they come with a complimentary
initial consultation with Chevron Dog training in Berry, NSW. For more
info on this lovely pair please contact Charmaine at
charmaine.dogs4life@hotmail.com
Duke --- (posted 29/9/2025) ---
Duke is a beautiful and unique Border Collie who's looking for his
perfect forever home through Border Collie Rescue. He was born deaf,
which means he sees the world a little differently, but it hasn't
stopped him from being full of life, energy, and love.
He's an incredibly affectionate boy who thrives on cuddles and
connection with his people. When he's with someone he trusts, his
personality shines - playful, energetic, and sometimes a little goofy.
He loves to stay active, and his bright spirit makes him a joy to be
around.
Like many dogs with special needs, Duke requires a patient and
experienced home. He has been dealing with some aggression issues, so
he will need someone committed to working with him in a safe,
structured, and understanding environment. With the right guidance,
his potential is huge.
If you're looking for a companion who will reward your patience with
unconditional love, Duke could be the one. He's not just a dog - he's
a best friend in the making, ready for a new chapter with someone who
understands him. For more info on Duke please contact Lachlan at
lachlanbrown97@hotmail.com
Bo --- (posted 26/10/2025) ---
Bo is a 3 year old black and white female border collie. She's is a
loving dog, great with family and children. She is a typical border
collie - loves park time with fetch, frisbee and long walks. We have
done obedience and some beginner agility training with her which she
loved.
She loves people and gets on well with other dogs generally. She has
shown some reactive behaviour towards some dogs sporadically but it
hasn't been an issue. My ideal would for her to be with a family and
another dog would be a bonus. Personal circumstances is the reason for
looking for a rehome.
For more info on Bo please contact Patricia at patricia.cobh@gmail.com
River --- (posted 26/3/2026) ---
River is an extremely affectionate, obedient, friendly, and loyal BC.
River loves being around people and would thrive in a home where
someone is home most of
the time. He prefers to be the only dog so he can soak up all the
attention.
He enjoys exploring and is known to slip through fences for an
adventure - especially if there's a
dam to swim in! Because of this, he will require: A secure yard; A family
committed to supervision and spending quality time with him; and someone
who loves an affectionate, active companion.
If you think you could offer River a loving, committed forever
home, please get in touch. Contact Pauline at
paulineannsmith@bigpond.com or phone 0408 586 203
Meeka --- (posted 31/3/2026) ---
Meeka is a 4 year old border collie, friendly loveable absolutely
beautiful girl.
We do not want to have to part with her but unfortunately due to a
change in living circumstances we need to find Meeka a new forever home.
Meeka would be best suited to acreage and other dogs for companionship
especially another border collie preferably male.
Meeka would try to escape so a property with adequate fencing to
ensure she gets use to her new surroundings would be ideal.
I am preferring a foster home to begin with to benefit everyone but
mainly Meeka, my hope is she will be happy in her new home and it will
lead to adoption.
If you feel you can fulfil the above requirements and details please
contact Margaret at bradleymargaret68@gmail.com
Skittles --- (posted 6/4/2026) ---
Skittles is a very intelligent BC boy who loves doing tricks and
training. He bonds closely with his person, and like many smart BCs he
has a tendency to anxiety in unfamiliar situations or with other dogs he doesn't
know. An adult only home experienced with a reactive BC would be
ideal. Ongoing positive reinforcement traininig will continue to build
his confidence, and this is a life-work, not a quick fix. Skittles is a
smart, affectionate boy with a big heart, who has lots of love to
give. If you think this might be with you then please contact joanne
at jozahra123@gmail.com
Hendrix --- (posted 26/6/2026) ---
Smart, loyal, and full of Border Collie energy. At 15 months old he's
ready to bond hard with a person/family who can match his brain +
stamina. Tri colour coat, athletic build, and those classic collie
eyes that miss nothing.
Personality in 3 words : Clever, Keen, Velcro dog.
He's always been an indoor dog and thrives on being with his people.
Doesn't just want a backyard - he wants to be part of your life.
This boy has stamina. He loves long walks/runs and goes hard on fetch
with a ball thrower - the further you throw, the happier he is. Tug of
war is life. He's great on lead once the initial zoomies pass.
*Best home for Hendrix:*
1. Active home that can give him daily physical + mental exercise.
Think runs, fetch, training games, puzzle toys.
2. Indoor family home. He wants to be with you, not an outdoor - only dog.
3. Experienced with clever/high-drive breeds. He needs consistency +
boundaries.
4. Single dog home.
5. No small kids due to his energy + jumping when excited. Older
kids/teens who understand dogs would be fine.
What you'll get: Crate, toys, lead/harness, and all his vet history.
We'll only rehome to the right fit because we love him
For info please contact Kirsty at pepperkirsty1@gmail.com
Bodhi --- (posted 26/6/2026) ---
Bodhi is a 2 year old male BC, microchipped and up to date with
vaccinations.
Bodhi is in need of an experienced BC home, one that understands BCs
with anxiety and confidence issues, that manifest into poor behaviour.
A home with no small children and a commitmemt to managing him is
needed.
Bodhi's issues include resource guarding of food, toys, places and
people.
This can involve growling and aggression, Hence the need to an
experienced home.
Bodhi can also be reactive to other dogs.
He has had minimal training, he knows the command 'sit'.
Bodhi is a very energetic boy who's current owners are looking for
options for. If you think you may have what it takes to give Bodhi a
chance, then please contact lenny3275@yahoo.com.au
Charlie --- (posted 2/7/2026) ---
Charlie is an energetic Kelpie x Border Collie with all the traits
you'd expect. He loves people — and thrives on human companionship. He
is affectionate, loyal and happiest when he's included in family life
rather than left on his own. Charlie is great with adults and
children, but can be anxious around other dogs, particularly those
that are excitable. He would likely be best suited as the only dog, or
with a calm, settled canine companion.
Charlie would thrive with an active person or close-knit family who
can provide plenty of exercise, and most importantly, time together.
We think he'd make an exceptional one-on-one companion for someone
wanting a loyal mate to share their days with. He loves going for
walks and being involved in whatever you're doing.
He responds well to basic commands including sit, wait and come, and
walks well on a lead with firm, consistent guidance. Charlie is
vaccinated, desexed and microchipped.
Whilst making the decision to rehome Charlie has been incredibly
difficult for our family, we know finding him the right forever home
is in his best interests.
For more info on Charlie please contact Justin at justin.lepage@bigpond.com
Ovie --- (posted 2/7/2026) ---
Ovie is a 5 year old male Border Collie. He is a beautiful loving
tri-colour boy who needs a loving home with a person/ family that has
time to spend with him. He loves people and prefers to be with them
all the time, but can be left alone during the day. Ovie needs a
person/ family who is experienced with managing reactivity to other
dogs (but not all dogs). His training in managing his reactivity to
has come a long way and he will need someone with patience to continue
with this. He is ok with older children, but care should always be
taken with food guarding. Ovie loves tug and chasing balls/ toys,
although bringing them back is sometimes hard for him to do. He knows
lots of commands like sit, drop, spin, middle & shake. He is a
beautiful boy and if you think you have a loving home, patience and
time, please contact Svetlana at svetlana.k@bigpond.com
