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.
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

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
Cooper --- (posted 8/8/2017) ---
Cooper is a sweet and gorgeous, classical black and white boy who is looking for
a home where he can be the only dog. Cody has grown up living with a
group of assorted other dogs on a small property, and there is one
particular canine member of the family with whom Cooper cannot get
along reliably. This is resulting in fights, which Cooper's family
need to resolve. Cooper loves people, isn't phased by children, and has
always been gentle with puppies. Like any BC, Cooper will need
physical and mental exercise in his new home. For more info on Cooper
please contact Sarah on 0407 834 240
Stella --- (posted 10/8/2017) ---
Stella is from working stock, a sweet looking tricolour girl with
fully pricked ears. She is strong and fit, lively and friendly. She
has a moderate level of training, and has showed good instincts with
sheep. Stella has a medium lenght coat. Her youth, and her need for things to do mean she can't be left
alone in the house without a high risk of her destroying something. And
outdoors, the garden is in peril. Stella is still a puppy and she
needs management (esp if you have a household that you don't want to see
dog-damaged), ongoing training, and importantly, lots of mental and
physical exercise. Stella is housetrained, and walks OK on lead, if a
bit excitedly. For more info on Stella please contact john on 0447
999972 or email jbm_au@yahoo.com.au
Henry --- (posted 16/8/2017) ---
Henry is a sweet and affectionate BC boy who just wants to be loved.
He loves people, including children and other dogs. Even better,
combine these companions with walking (on or off-lead), swimming or
fetching a ball in the water and he will be set! Henry doesn't have
any formal training, but is keen to learn, and fairly easy to manage.
He is fully housetrained and use to spending time both inside and
outdoors. Henry is disconcerted by loud noises, such
as thunder or a lawnmower, but he is getting better as he matures.
As he is sleeping outside at night, Henry is waking the family when
he sees possums and other night-life. If you were able to have Henry
sleep inside at night, he sounds like a perfect dog.
Henry is for sale to the right home. For more info on Henry please
contact Gayle at gaylesandiford@hotmail.com
