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

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

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
Chai --- (posted 13/3/2026) ---
Chai is a beautiful border collie who will be 4yrs old in August. He
is full of energy and very affectionate.
He doesn't like balloons and reflections. He could probably use some
positive reinforcement training to build up his confidence. He loves
a walk. He has had
training but needs more. He has grown up in a household with kids, and he has
been very playful. For more info on Chai please contact Surmila at
surmila115@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) ---
Sometimes family situations change and a plan to keep a dog for life
becomes unmanageable.
Meeka is an anxious girl who needs patience and love.
She is uncertain around anyone she doesn't know, but with a bit of
time she is a very loving and attention-loving girl.
Meeka is 4 years old and needs someone who will understand that
gentleness and patience is going to be the most important attribute. Building her
confidence with positive reinforcement for e ven simple behaviours
will be a good start.
Meeka will chase cars if off lead.
A foster home is sought, with someone who might decide they want to
keep her if she fits in.
For more info on Meeka please contact Margaret at

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
For details on each dog please
contact the listed owner, and for general information on BC rescue email bcrescueaustralia@gmail.com
