Bryce is an absolutely wonderful dog. I rescued him from a shelter in NC 5 years ago. He is very obedient and willing to please. Just like most border collies, he does have his quirks and a strong personality. He is great with other dogs, but will get food aggressive over his food bowl and bones/treats. However, he is perfectly fine sharing toys.

We recently moved from a house with a back yard and a doggie door. Having that space along with regular exercise I was able to provide him prior to my non-traveling job really evened him out. We had to relocate into an apartment in September of 2012. Ever since then, he has had seperation anxiety- in part because he feels confined in the apartment and also because I am not able to provide him with the exercise he needs. His anxiety causes him to compulsively stare out the window and rip down blinds that are left closed. He also has been reacting by going potty in the same spot every time I leave (despite the fact that he has already "done his business" on walks prior to me leaving). He will also chew anything that has a string or strap- leashes hanging up, flip flops, bag straps... He is not a chewer otherwise- I can leave shoes out with no problem and he has not been destructive towards any furniture. I just have to be conscious that when he is in situations that will make him anxious, he will chew on straps.

Like I said, this behavior did not exist when he had a yard and exercise that he needed.

As far as a yard, he can jump fences. Any yard with a low fence would not be suitable for him.

With that being said, he would do GREAT in a home that can provide him with exercise and ideally agility training. He would be hands down an AWESOME dog at agility. He is eager to please and learns very quickly. Ideally, he would be great in a home that has another dog. For more information about Bryce, please contact Cynthia. He is located in Nashville, TN, and his requested adoption donation is $100.00

Toby is a neutered 2 year old border collie mix, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and on heartworm preventative. He weighs 37 lbs.

He is a very sweet boy and gets along well with other dogs and loves children. He is a high energy dog who would probably do best with an energetic family who enjoy running or hiking, or interested in doing a canine sport such as agility. He is playful and friendly, and is very people oriented.

Toby is crate trained and house trained, and knows several obedience commands, such as Sit, Watch Me, Shake, and Lie Down.

Daizy is a very sweet and intelligent 15mo old border collie who is spayed, fully vaccinated (current through February 2013), microchipped, on heartworm prevention, knows basic commands, and his house trained. She does great with other dogs and children thus far, but does not do well with cats. Daizy is a very quick learner and would be great at agility. She does very well on a leash and loves going for runs. She has also been exposed to horses and did very well around them as well as being well behaved on a short trail ride she was taken on.

For more information about Daizy, please contact Micka.

Meet Maddie, a 3 year old spayed border collie/lab mix. She is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative and on Trifexis, and gets along with other dogs. She is not aggressive towards cats, but does like to play with them.

Maddie loves children, and should not be placed with small children as she likes to play with them and could easily knock them down.

This is a loving and playful dog; she is housetrained, loves to play with squeaky toys and is very energetic. She is smart and knows several obedience commands.

Maddie would do best with an active family who will play with her and give her the exercise she needs.

For more information, please contact Paula. pjsanchez22@gmail.com She is located in Knoxville, TN, and her adoption donation is $125.00.

Ziggy is 1year and 3 month old neutered male dog weighing about 52 pounds.

Ziggy is a loving well kept, clean dog. He was taken to the vet just a week ago and had all his shots and heartworm and other tests done as well as we had him groomed. He is given his heartworm meds and flea medicine monthly. He is the type of dog that when you come home he will greet you with a wagging tail . I would love to find a home with a large fenced yard, another dog to play, or children as he is good with them.

WHY GIVE HIM AWAY...

My 21 year old son rescued a border collie puppy last year. He now has graduated from UGA and got a job working for a hospital corporation in Florida. He will have to live in an apartment for the next few years and work 9-12 hours a day . The company he got the job with also told him not to plant his feet to deep anywhere, they have plans to keep him moving from hospital to hospital. He went down there last week in hopes to find somewhere for his dog and he could reside but after looking at the hosing situation he realized it was VERY limited with a pet his size and what is available is way too much money for a starting salary person to afford. After a lot of torment and soul searching he realizes that an apartment is not the best home for his dog. Especially knowing he would have to be there 9-12 hoursa day he now realizes that although he loves the dog deeply he has to give him up in hopes of finding a loving home that can provide Ziggy with the time and love he needs. If you know any one or any services that might help me place this dog in a good home situation. Please contact me Emily Tyson (678)520-0256 teachemty@bellsouth.net.
