Fay:  DOB:  11/18/09

Weight -33lbs,  Height at shoulder - approx. 16 inches

Loves long walks in the forest, playing ball, work and mud holes!

Fay is very entertaining, full of life and positive energy, quite bright and extremely athletic. She is outgoing, social and has an excellent self-image.

Doesn’t bark or dig. Loves all people. Likes living in a pack, somewhere near the top. As a talented jumper that loves the feeling of “catching air” over 5 foot fences she cannot be left unattended in any fenced yard. Very quick and powerful. 

Excellent recall, walks at heel off leash, lie down, stay. Started on sheep herding but that will not be her forte. 

Fay is a dog that needs lots of daily activity and space.  For the experienced BC owner, Fay is a wonderful dog.  Without guidance she is a dog who will get into trouble.  She can't be left unattended outside.  She would probably do best living without other female dogs unless you are a dog savvy person.  She does ok with my pack but they are very stable and don't get in her face when she is playing ball.  She has growled and showed teeth when space is tight in the house but she stops with a reminder from her foster mom.

Thanks for thinking rescue.

Jinx is a 5 month old border collie.  He is a really nice pup.  He is affectionate and focused on people.  We are working on crate and potty training.  Jinx has one ear that does not have an opening.  The vet said she has seen dogs like this that were fine for their entire life but it has the possiblity of causing problems in several years that may require vet care   He can hear fine out of the other ear and so is not deaf.  He is just starting to get the very first training of his life, so he will need lots of work, classes and a job. 

There is potty, leash and basic training.  Socialization is a must.  This dog should have 100 positive interactions in the next month with young people, old people, dogs, livestock, bikes, cars- you name it.  He can't be left all day alone. 

If this is a quest that you have the time and the desire to take maybe Jinx is for you.  He will not be adopted out as a strictly outdoor dog as puppies need to be indoors where it is safe and warm, preferably with someone home during the day or with another dog to keep him company.  A fenced yard is required.  Jinx is neutered, UTD on shots, wormed and microchipped.

Getting a puppy is a 10-15 year commitment.  If you want a dog that is completely house trained and already has some obedience training, please consider an adult dog.  If you are interested in him and would like to meet please fill out an application FIRST and then contact his foster mom at bordercreekrescue@gmail.com
