Jethro --- (posted 12/4/2024) ---
Jethro is a goofy, highly intelligent BC boy who has brought his
family years of love and joy. He is also an anxious boy (having been
for a time on medication to help with this) and he is not comfortable
around small children. Jethro is wary of new people and new dogs, and
whilst he gets along very well with a few dogs that he knows well, a
home where he is the only dog would probably be best. A home with
experience with an anxious dog, and the preparedness to manage him in
ways that minimise his stress is sought. Jethro is smart, and knows
quite a few commands, and loves learning. Training is fun for him, as
is chasing a ball, playing tug, or finding a puddle to slop in. He is
used to sleeping indoors, and spending most of the day outside in a
large yard. For more info on Jethro please contact Cle at cgbreitinger@gmail.com
Sadie --- (posted 13/6/2024) ---
Sadie an 11 year old female border collie cross, desexed,
microchiped, a recent vet visit including blood work and health
examination done, no issues besides itchy skin that was treated with
ointment. Slightly overweight.
Behaviour wise Sadie is very well behaved, she enjoys sleeping
inside at night and will happily stay in her bed unless she wants to
go outside to the toilet.
Leash manners need some work and practice, as her previous owner couldn't walk her
much due to illness.
Sadie gets along well with other dogs, she only will get jelous if
her owner is giving too much attention to another dog or if food is
involved, so maybe it would be better if she was an only dog.
Sadie, even at her age enjoys to chasing and catching possums, so small animals would
be best to avoid as she has never been tested with cats or small dogs.
Sadie is located in Reservoir, Melbourne Victoria.
Her owner has passed away and the family are trying to find a loving
warm home for her, unfortunately our circumstances would not be able
to provide Sadie with the life she deserves in her golden year's.
For more info on Sadie please contact Murray at

Ellie --- (posted 21/6/2024) ---
Ellie is an 8-year-old chocolate/white border collie (de-sexed) with
up-to-date vaccinations and dental. She is a beautiful, affectionate
dog who enjoys playing catch or relaxing with you. She grew up on a
property in Queensland. She's not trained, but is well behaved on
and/off leash, and comes when you call her. She has some health issues
which are effectively managed with diet and medication. She is
primarily an inside dog but loves her daily exercise and enjoys
playing with other dogs (she currently lives in a household with a
labrador). For a border collie she is surprisingly well behaved on
days where she receives little exercise. The most important thing for
her is lots of pats, especially if she's a bit anxious because it's a
thunderous day or she hears dogs barking in the distance. As a young
family, we're unable to give Ellie the time she deserves which is why
we're looking for a better home. For more info on Ellie, please
contact Luke on lukeatkins@live.com.au
Billie --- (posted 26/6/2024) ---
Billie is a tri colour (brown, white & black). Following a move to a
smaller property, she is no longer getting along with the other two
dogs in the home, and is bullying them. No visits to the
vet with any injuries have been required, but the older dogs are not
happy, and the family cannot watch this continue.
With Billie's training she can do
the basics, but we have been unable to walk her on the lead due to her
aggressive behaviour or and poor socialising with other dogs or people.
She is
6 years old and has a friendly and loving nature to me, so a single
female with no other animals or children would be the safest option if
she can be rehomed. If you are experienced with unsocial BCs and would
like to give this girl another chance, please contact Robyn for more
info at robyndellorso@gmail.com
Lexa --- (posted 5/7/2024) ---
Lexa is a beautiful chocolate/white female border collie. She is
desexed. She absolutely loves to chase her ball and to cuddle up with
the family. She is very friendly with people although she does like to
jump up and kiss faces. She doesn't love other dogs but has never
attacked another dog. She knows her basic skills but does become hyper
focused if food or her ball are her reward. She will dig in the yard
if she gets bored. She has never run away before. She is very loved
but needs more than what can be offered. For more info on Lexa please
contact stephanie_may@live.com.au
Cooper --- (posted 6/7/2024) ---
Cooper is a 30 month 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
Woody --- (posted 25/7/2024) ---
Woody is a 3 year old Border Collie male, lilac colour (light brown
and white) needing a new home. We feel that Woody would be ideally
suited to a mature couple or single person with no young children
around, someone who works from home or has a large property and
outdoor lifestyle.
Strengths - Woody is extremely loyal, loveable and energetic and has never had
any health issues. Loves to be around us and loves nothing more than
chasing the ball and going for walks and runs off the lead. When he
bonds with someone he will be their very best friend.
Challenges - Woody can be highly anxious which can lead to growling at certain
people (such as one of our older sons and in any new setting such as
trying to get him into the vets). Woody needs a lot of activity and space
as well of course by nature.
A home experienced with an anxious border collie, able to build his
confidence with new things, would be ideal.
We love him dearly so are looking for just the right new home.
Located in the Pakenham area. For more info please contact Leonie at
mrs.francois4@gmail.com
Aria --- (posted 9/8/2024) ---
Aria is a loving and lovely girl, mostly white with black highlights.
She is very active, understands commands, walks well on lead and
off lead, and is scared of water sometimes - doesn't like to swim, also scared of
brooms. Aria is friendly with other dogs, she has grown up with another female
border collie and two cats. Not too fussed about toys, she loves
cuddling and snuggling her head into elbows.
Aria was rescued by her current owner when she came into a vet
practice as a stray. She has been given a second chance, and now needs
to find a forever home.
A new family who is able to provide for her, such things: as a large
back yard; to be walked for more than one hour daily; to be given work
to do, eg herding training or tracking or agility. She needs both
physical and mental actvity to keep her stimulated, and if she is just
left in a back yard she has a tendency to dig holes.
Aria is in excellent health and up to date with all vet work and vaccinations.
For more info on Aria please contact Serena at serenasakeson@gmail.com
Maggie --- (posted 20/8/2024) ---
Maggie, a 9-year-old Border Collie, is highly energetic and never
seems to rest. She is obsessed with toys and constantly wants to play
fetch. When in an open space and not engaged in play, she barks
non-stop, which has led to complaints from neighbors, even after
moving to a farm. Maggie has an Obedience 2 certificate and used to
participate in agility courses, demonstrating her high level of
training. However, due to our limited time, she often gets bored, leading to
aggressive behavior towards people who try to stop her from playing or
towards other dogs. She is very reactive, and any potential new home
should be prepared for her high energy levels and need for constant
engagement. Maggie does not enjoy playing with other dogs and prefers
to play exclusively with people. She can become aggressive if
challenged by a person or another dog.
An experienced BC home, which can teach Maggie to learn to be calm,
and instill an off-switch would be desirable. Mental games as well as
physical would be an advantage. Maggie is not a dog to simpoly keep in
the back-yard.
For more info on Maggie please contact Carlos at

Luna --- (posted 26/8/2024) ---
Luna is our beloved 5 year old black and white border collie. She is a
much loved member of the family and due to unforeseen circumstances we
are looking for the right family to have her as their own. Luna loves
walks and the beach and open spaces. She needs more training off lead
but on lead she is great! She is protective of the kids and her yard.
She does need a bit more training due to these unforeseen
circumstances we haven't been as consistent so someone who know what
they are doing will help. She loves to run in open spaces but again
needs some help with call back. She loves to cuddle and loves and good
scratch on the tummy. If I sit outside with her she loves to sit next
to me with a cuddle and head on my lap. She is a great girl. She does
have some anxiety but with consistent walking and using her mind each
day this always subsides. Lastly she doesn't mind getting groomed.
This decision isn't easy! We want the absolute best for Luna and
someone who calls her her member of the family too. For more info on
Luna please contact Kristy at Jh77@tpg.com.au
Finn --- (posted 10/9/2024) ---
I'm looking to find a new home for my beautiful, playful boy. He's 1
year and 5 months old, with a friendly temperament and a love for
adventure. He's toilet trained, knows basic commands, and is
well-behaved around food. He's desexed and his vaccinations, worm,
flea, and tick treatments are all up to date. His areas of concern
include digging, and some lounge chewing, which has been mostly
attributed to boredom. He has no history of harming any animals or
people. He doesn't bark much, except during play, and absolutely loves
the water! He's an active dog who would thrive in a home where he can
get lots of exercise and adventures, ideally with another playful,
energetic dog as a companion. We are looking for the very best home
for this boy. If you think that might be you then please contact Jade
at jadelhaerse@gmail.com
Izzy --- (posted 10/9/2024) ---
Izzy is 6 yr old brown merle Border Collie. She is pedigree with
papers and family history.
Vaccinated, wormed, heart wormed and flea and tick treated.
Izzy is a very happy loving dog that loves loads of pats and cuddles.
Loves walks and water.
Izzy is not a ball chaser. She is great with other pets as I have
cats and shows absolutely no mind to them at all. Great with kids.
She has beautiful manners. Does not jump up at all, trained to wait
before eating food Walks well on lead (have not tested her recall
off lead in open area.) She is very well behaved and responsive
so would think she would be good.
Does get a little anxious when left alone too long but if with another
dog she would be good. Suitable for any home that will give her
loads of love. Izzy will come with her leads and bowls and toys.
For more info on Izzy please contact cheriehickey@hotmail.com
Luna II --- (posted 29/9/2024) ---
Luna is a beautiful tri colour, petite, pure bred border collie
(papers supplied). She is a dog that is happy to spend the day by her
person's side. Luna loves nothing more than following you around the
garden or house. Her petite size makes perfect for any home setting
backyard, farm or even in a caravan (she has done it all).
In the last 2 years we have started our family and discovered that
Luna and children do not mix. She has not adjusted well to having
small children in her space at all and finds the unpredictability of
kids very stressful. Luna's response to fear and stress is to be
aggressive and try to nip. We strongly believe that Luna requires a
home environment with no children. She is a beautiful quiet dog but
carries anxiety. Luna has all the basic training down pat and is good
to walk on and off the lead. We really want our little girl to get a
second chance at a thriving happy life.
For more info on Luna please contact Sharna at sharna_hemsley@hotmail.com
Minke --- (posted 29/9/2024) ---
Minke (female, 2 y/o, blue Merle, desexed and fully vaxxed) is a truly
special little girl who will be your best friend and shadow. She is
sweet, curious and bonds easily to people. She has some anxiety issues
that mean she struggles with living with another dog, which is why I
am making the heart-breaking decision to rehome her. Her anxiety is
otherwise well-controlled with medication and environmental
management, this will need to be ongoing in her new home. Minke loves
playing with her toys, kisses on her nose, belly tickles, going for
walks and swims and doing nosework training. She is loves going on
adventures but is also very happy with a quiet life with short walks
and lots of pats. She seeks out affection and loves to participate in
whatever you're doing, whether that's gardening or driving to the
shops or minding your feet while you work from home. She is not
well-suited to being left alone all day every day. She has great
recall and good basic training. Minke is absolutely adored and I am
looking for a home for her where she will receive all the love and
affection she deserves. We are currently based in SA but travel to the
east coast regularly so happy to take inquiries from anywhere. For
more information please contact Ash at asha.greenwood@gmail.com
Rosie I --- (posted 21/11/2024) ---
Rosie is black and white and has an abundance of energy. She loves to
catch balls and fetch things. Rosie would be suited to an acreage as
she had been living on 100 acres prior to us moving into smaller
accommodation.
Rosie struggles with being in a small area hence the need to find a
loving home with acreage. All of Rosie's needles are up to date and she
is in good health. For more info on Rosie please contact Ann at
sharp1954ann@gmail.com
Zoey --- (posted 24/11/2024) ---
Zoey is a 3 year old female black and white border collie that we have
had since she was 10 weeks old. She is quirky and energetic but also
an anxious little soul. She has shown fear aggression and resource
guarding and is not overly keen on people encroaching on her personal
space. Also most recently, there has been fighting with our other
collie and they can no longer be together. Zoey will suit a quiet home
with no children and no other animals. Zoey is used to living in a
suburban backyard and most recently on an acre, as long as she has a
way to burn off energy and keep herself busy she is great. She will
need someone who is patient and understands collie behaviour and is
willing to put in a little work. She is standoffish around new people
and is not an affectionate dog in terms of cuddles but she will follow
you and sit at your feet and loves a scratch. This is such hard
decision for us as we do love her however our other dog has recently
been diagnosed with a high needs medical issue and Zoey does not get
the attention and love she really deserves. She is smart and has basic
training and would make a great companion for someone who lives a
simple and quiet life. If you would like any further info, please
email jessicamyra84@gmail.com

Clark --- (posted 21/12/2024) ---
Clark is a very friendly and loving dog who can be a bit shy around
new people. He loves pats, ear scratches, and is a wonderful companion
dog. Clark thrives on company, enjoys car rides, walks, and lots of
playtime - particularly catching a ball and playing tug. Clark also
loves chicken sometimes he will do zoomies for it.
Clark needs an active family and large area to roam and explore and
