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

directly to the section for Border Collies.
Patch --- (posted 24/2/2010) --- Patch is a gorgeous border
collie cross blue heeler, approximately 14mths old. He has been desexed
and he's up to date with his worming and vaccinations. He loves people
and pats and would suit a farm or family with a big backyard. He sits on command and
for food (he has a code word to eat). He's had basic training but
responds well as he's eager to please. He loves to play with other
dogs. He gets on well with the other dog in his carer's home.
He is an excellent swimmer and loves to retrieve things. He has not
experience of cats. He gets on well with children, but is a little
boisterous for toddlers. He does try to jump and lick when he is
excited. Patch was a rescue dog, but now he needs to find a permanent
home of his own. For more information on Patch please contact Lauri
at kitiekat@hotmail.com or call 0423388692 or 0755965329
Shep --- (posted 10/3/2010) --- Shep is a lovely old boy.
He gets on with other dogs and with children. He needs a lot of TLC.
Shep is an older boy who is losing his family home, and he needs
someone who understands BCs. Shep loves tennis balls, and likes shorter
walks. Only the best home is going to be satisfactory. for more info
contact laura on 0412 44 82 82
Cody --- (posted 29/3/2010) --- Cody was rescued as an abused pup
in 1999 from a Sydney shelter. He has developed wonderfully in the
home of his rescuer, and is an older, affectionate and friendly dog
now. He loves his daily walk, although he doesn't worry if he doesn't
get a run these days. Cody comes to a whistle and is good with children.
Sadly, his family are having to move to a small unit, and Cody is not
going to be able to live there too. So they seek a loving family or
single person who would like to have a generally quiet older companion
dog. for more info on Cody please contact marion on: (02) 9486 3913

Tilly Rose --- (posted 3/5/2010) --- Tilly Rose is a darling of
a BC girl with a long black and white coat and a cute face. She is
being rehomed by a carer. Only the very best home will do for Tilly.
She needs to be part of the family, including being and indoor/outdoor
dog, and she needs activity both mental and physical, to keep her
occupied. She is a not a candidate for being left on her own in the
back yard for 8 or 10 hours a day. Any fences need to be high, as she
is an accomplished jumper. Tilly wants to interact and learn, and she
loves swimming and the beach. Tilly has shown herself to be good with
children and other dogs. She has a lot of love to give.
For more info on Tilly please contact Jillian on 0432 229 921.
Rebel --- (posted 30/5/2010) --- Rebel is in care, since his
owner had health issues and realised that he couldn't take him back.
Although he has had no formal training Rebel can come to a whistle,
sit, stay and is housetrained. He is very friendly and likes everyone
including children and other dogs. Rebel is desexed and chipped, and
waiting for a loving home to come along. For more info on Rebel please
contact Jessica on 0428 147 173.
Yogi --- (posted 1/6/2010) --- Yogi is a very regal
looking, classically marked BC boy. He has some greying about the eyes,
but he is a lovely self-contained boy, who very sadly has been left at
Wyong pound. A dog of this age does not have great prospects for being
rehomed, and yet he is long past any issues, what you see is what you
get with this boy, and he has so much love to give. Yogi is impound
number 5165, and he is for sale for only $220 which includes
everything you'd expect plus 5 dog training sessions if you wish (on
the central coast). For more info contact the pound on 02 4350 5574
Halle and Maverick --- (posted 1/6/2010) --- This gorgeous brother and
sister pair have been surrendered due to a family split. It would be
great if they can be rehomed together, but it is not essential if a good
home can be found for them separately. Even so, they have lost their
family, so it would be nice if they could stay together. They are
impound numbers 5163 and 5164. They are both very attractive
classically marked BCs. (pix available in dogzonline) They are for
sale for $260 and $220 respectively, however, if someone takes them
both the Maverick will be on sale for $40 as dog of the week.If you
would like more info on them, please call the pound on 02 4350 5574
Moby --- (posted 26/6/2010) --- Moby is just a sweetie with
an excellent pedigree. He is good with people, including children and
it's impossible to meet him and not fall for him. However, Moby is
going through a destructive phase (which will probably last for a bit
yet)
and his current family think that there may be someone else who can
provide more consistent management and more activity and diversions for him
to sidetrack the unwanted destruction. Moby needs to learn what is OK
to chew, and have his chewing and tugging directed against appropriate
toys. Moby is desexed. for more info
please contact Courtenay on 02 9337 5787 or 04 1433 2066
Two girls --- (posted 28/6/2010) --- A temporary home is sought
for two BC girls, past their puppihood whose family have to move to a
new place that is not dog-friendly. They are affectionate and
well-behaved girls. Zephy is long-coated and a bit of a sook. Bella is
smoothcoated and mostly black. They can be separated if it is necessary.
For more information contact Andre or Anne-Marie 0407227085 or
0417250575. Perhaps if you've always wondered what it would be like to
own a BC, this is your chance to try before you buy....
Turto --- (posted 7/7/2010) --- Turto is a gorgeous full
coated black and white boy who is only a youngster. currently
impounded at Junee in NSW. He knws basic commands and isn't overly
exuberant. More info will be posted when it is
available.
More details can be obtained from chrisanimalrescueriverina@bigpond.com.au
or phone 02 6920 2040 before 7:30 pm
Missy --- (posted 25/7/2010) --- Missy is a sweet girl with
a sad story to tell. She was found some years ago tied to a tree,
having been left there after she was tortured with cigarette burns.
She has been living with a couple of members of one family since then.
However, they have had to move, and Missy is a habitual escape artist.
In the current home she is getting out almost continously. Missy needs
a home that will make her a house pet, so that she is indoors unless
being otherwise managed and will not have the opportunity to escape.
She has been desexed etc, and is housetrained, and well behaved indoors.
Missy has a gentle nature and is currently living with children. She
is of an age where she will not object to becoming someone's couch
potato. A BC spaniel mix is usually a gentle, soft dog.
For more info contact Louise on 0414 266 387
Kobi --- (posted 29/7/2010) --- Kobi is a four year old
classic black and white boy who just isn't settled in his current
home. He was the second dog, and he doesn't really like the first dog.
He is happy with the 2 yo girl in the home he is living in, he loves
to play fetch and has a pretty high level of activity. A home without
other dogs, that was prepared to give him some things to do is sought.
Kobi is desexed, and for more info you can contact Janet on 0488 063
675.
