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

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

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 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
