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. He also does not like people to force attention
on him, and eye contact and direct approaches to pet him make him
unhappy. Jethro is wary of 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, with chickens for company. For more
info on Jethro
please contact Cle at cgbreitinger@gmail.com
Koda --- (posted 24/4/2024) ---
Koda is a beautiful and much-loved male chocolate border collie (6
years old and desexed). Koda loves to go for a daily walk/sniff and
loves a quick game of fetch/frisbee in the backyard. Koda is used to
being left at home while we go to work, and is always there ready to
great us at the door when we get home - he just loves being around his
people. Koda would not be suitable to a house with children, but would
be a great fit for someone with no kids, a retiree or older couple -
someone looking for their new best mate!
For more information regarding Koda please contact Bronte
on bhopp15@eq.edu.au
Georgie --- (posted 30/4/2024) ---
Georgie was a rescue and I have had her since 8 weeks old, she is
fully vaccinated, wormed, microchipped and desexed at 6 mths. Georgie
has been raised mostly indoors but is an outdoors dog by heart. She's
very social and loves people including children. She is however
reactive to bikes and cars whilst on leash. She loves swimming in
creeks or beach but is not a fan of waves, and adores chasing a ball,
particularly her red rubber ball thrown from my blue ball thrower.
Ideally I'd love to see her with a family with a bit of grass.
Unfortunately my living circumstances have changed and she is now in a
unit which is not her best life even with two balconies, as she just
wants to be outside in the grass. For more info on Georgie please
contact Michelle at michelleneylan66@gmail.com
Maxie --- (posted 29/5/2024) ---
Maximus Loyalus. Meet 8-year-old Max. Loyal to a fault, intelligent, a wonderful
protector and now looking for a new home after his elderly foster
parents are no longer able to care for him following recent breast
cancer treatment (they have had him for two years after heart failure
in his original owner made it too hard to walk him.)
We are happy to transport Maxie to someone who may love him.
He is in great health - around 8 years old. When my parents first
rescued him, he was extremely aggressive as he was not walked enough.
This was especially around food and toys; however improved
significantly with many weeks of dog training.
He still has some issues with anyone coming near his food and barks if
anyone comes near his owner. It takes him a little while to adjust to
new people, but happy for people to come meet him first.
He is very obedient in other circumstances and with the right owner (a
tradie perhaps not young kids or elderly) who is prepared to exercise
him, he could potentially be a beautiful life companion.
He has been fully treated by his vet and had his teeth cleaned
recently too.
We are based in Baulkham Hills, Sydney.
For more info on Maxie please contact Jane at

Bodhi --- (posted 10/6/2024) ---
4 year old beautiful white and brown Border Collie, male. Bodhi is a
large Collie around 30kgs.
Bodhi is such a fantastic dog, great around other dogs and cats, we
have 2 cats he loves, and also great around kids. We have a 3 year old
which he adores and follows everywhere.
He has no formal training but great manners, walks on the leash
without pulling, listens to instructions and just wants love and to
play.
With our family life changing I can't give him what he deserves in
terms of play and time. He goes to the park daily but needs way more.
Hope we can rehome him to a loving caring family with a bigger
property where he can just run and play the whole day.
For more info on Bodhi please contact Cameron at cholmes9@msn.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 anxiety and gets
upset when she hears thunder or other dogs barking in the distance.
She also has incontinence (which is managed effectively with
medication) and requires a low-fat diet (e.g. Hills ID kibble, boiled
chicken, boiled rice etc) due to a pancreatic issue. 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). Ellie
would be best suited to a home where she is the only dog and ideally a
home on acreage/semi-rural. 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 and the opportunity to have a
sleep on her bed inside - especially if it's a thunderous day or
there's some very loud noise outside. 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
Asha --- (posted 24/6/2024) ---
Originally from Toowoomba, Asha is lovely company for someone who is
dedicated to her alone. She is a lovely affectionate companion who is
7 years old and will not leave your side. Asha has grown up in an
older family and is not adjusting to our household changes which now
includes babies, toddlers and school kids around her making sudden
noises and being rough. She is protective of her things (bed and food)
and will not share with others. She will growl and snap to show she
is unhappy.
Asha has had formal obedience training and will sit, come and walk
well on a lead. She is also desexed. Currently on acreage she enjoys
being outside and does not run off. She will bark if someone comes to
the door and will quickly settle once you greet them. She loves her
food (and yours if you let her have it) but watch out for her
waistline as she can gain weight if unchecked.
As known with this breed she does occasionally have ear infections and
smelly feet which is currently managed with Apoquel and good quality
food.
For more info on Asha please contact Annette at annette.crane1@gmail.com
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
Bowie --- (posted 3/7/2024) ---
Bowie is 20 months old and currently in Sydney. She is the most beautiful,
loving and kind dog.
She loves playing fetch with ball and frisbee. She also adores
swimming at the beach, fetching a stick in the water.
She's great with kids and other dogs in the house. She's used to pet
sitters/friends/daycare looking after her since she was a young age.
She has shown some fear aggression towards to 3 specific dogs around
my area when she turned 1 year. We have been avoiding dog parks at
times where there a lots of dogs around. She also sometimes shows
herding behaviour to smaller dogs when at the dog park.
Worked with a behavioural specialist who told me it's a part of their
development and advised to avoid the situation where the fear
aggression starts.
For me, ideally I would love to see her with a family where she has
lots of love and attention that would love to play with her, train her
and be part of the family.
For more info on Bowie please contact Ruth at ruthpokeeffe@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
Eleanor --- (posted 19/7/2024) ---
Eleanor loves people, kids, other dogs, running around playing chase
with the ball, going for walks, she is a true people's person and a
little social butterfly. Eleanor will stop and talk to anyone and let them
pat her, she will jump up and give big cuddles she honestly is the
most loyal loving dog. This decision was one of the hardest ever. We have
had Eleanor since she was a baby, we met her at 2 weeks old.
for her. Eleanor comes with papers.
Eleanor is just a little princess, she is groomed every 4 weeks and has
never given her groomer any trouble, she is very well behaved. Eleanor
just needs a loving family who can give her the attention she needs,
that unfortunately we can not give her. For more info please contact
IN2Conveyancing@outlook.com
Bodie --- (posted 20/7/2024) ---
Meet my 8 month old long haired border collie named Bodie. He is
fully vaccinated, heart worm, flea and tick treated and health checks
have been great at the vets.
Bodie is microchipped. He has had some puppy
training, and is well socialised. He loves the beach and other dogs. We
live on an acre and he loves running around playing with his dog toys.
My husband has had a stroke and I have a diagnosis of myocarditis and
pericarditis and PTSD. Unfortunately, with my husband's condition; Bodie
in his excitement has knocked him over several times as my husband
isn't very stable on his feet. We want the best life for Bodie and
unfortunately with our health issues we don't feel we can now provide
this. We bought a Bodie off a breeder who lived on a farm. His mum was
a wheaten colour and Dad was a tri colour. Bodie has one blue and one brown
eye and is absolutely gorgeous. Only the perfect home will be good
enough for my boy. If you think you can provide this then please
contact Kim at kimokeefe65@outlook.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
Lacey --- (posted 10/8/2024) ---
I'm looking for expressions of interest for a new family to home my
four-year-old (nearly five), female, purebred border collie.
It's quite heartbreaking but my circumstances have dramatically
changed. Lacey is absolutely beautiful, trained well and is often
complimented on her sweet nature.
She is compatible in homes with children (she is very gentle and
submissive with children), other animals, including other dogs, cats,
livestock, sheep, cows, horses, chickens and more, she's incredibly
passive and has incredible recall.
She's been vaccinated, microchipped, as well as flead and wormed
regularly.
I am definitely open to negotiating for the right people, note; she
will not go to anyone, and I will require a meet and greet, before hand.
For more info on Lacey please contact Dee at destinyisobela@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
carlosclaitonkuhn@gmail.com
Chase --- (posted 22/8/2024) ---
Chase is a 5yr old short-haired black/white Border Collie desexed
male. He is a really lovely dog with a pleasant, friendly nature. He
can be submissive and timid at times due to going to a kennel for
minding when he was younger and not being treated very well, but once
he is comfortable, he is happy and excitable. He is very affectionate
and will sit and be patted for hours if time permits. He is active and
will play fetch with a rope, throw his rope toys (he loves rope toys)
and will chase birds for hours. He loves to go to the park to chase
birds and will come back when called. He will eat whatever food you
put in his bowl, although he does inhale his food and we feed him
small amounts and scatter his kibble to force him to eat one at a time
as he won't chew properly if it's all in his bowl at once. Sadly, this
is a result of how he was raised as a puppy with a "one-in-all-in" set
up. He also loves playing with the hose water and trying to catch the
water on hot days (his favourite game). He walks ok on the lead
(although can tend to pull when excited), doesn't have a tendency to
run away and is loyal to his people. He was never formally trained,
but is a quick learner and can understand basic commands - sit, stay,
wait, come etc. He's quiet and doesn't bark very much at all. During
the day he is happy to sleep or watch the world go by. He can
entertain himself and be alone during the day, but it would be better
if he wasn't left alone all day every day as he could get anxious. He
does dig grass, dust and dirt when he is anxious. He doesn't seem to
like boisterous or loud dogs or dogs that bark a lot and can react to
loud noises. He is fine in storms and will even run around in the rain
trying to catch it. He will be your best buddy if given the time. We
feel he needs a bigger yard and more time than we can currently
provide. He's been the family dog for 5 years and we hope he can go to
another loving family. He has been an only dog for his whole life
except for short periods where he's been around my parents' older
female cattle dog, where he was submissive to her, but handled it ok.
We're unsure if he'd like to be housed with another dog for
companionship or prefer to be the centre of attention as the only dog
as he is now. He's very unsure around smaller dogs. He's been around
kids aged 8+ but not tested with younger kids. Fully vet checked and
up to date vaccs. For more information on Chase, please contact
Belinda at belindaowen081@gmail.com
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
Maddie --- (posted 26/8/2024) ---
Maddie is a 2yo Border Collie. We've had her since she was 11 weeks
old. Maddie is completely house and toilet trained and highly
motivated by food.
Maddie is very affectionate and wants to please. She loves to chase
the ball and would do this all day if she could. She walks well on the
lead if you have food to give her.
She would love a home with a backyard or a farm where she can have a
lot of space. She loves to be with people.
For more info on Maddie please contact Chris at thani00@gmail.com
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
