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.

Jack is about 2 years old and is about the nicest boy we've ever had He is a purebred, handsome, red and white neutered male border collie.

He's a true Cassanova, gentle and great with other dogs. He hasn't been around cats or kids but makes nothing of the cats sitting in our cathouse screened window. I pulled him a couple months ago knowing that he had a problem in his back end. Turns out he has a knee full of buckshot that they say is best left alone at this point to see how it will mend on its own. the injury is old enough that there's nothing apparent on the exterior of the leg, but he limps at times. When he plays it's rough and tumble but otherwise a limp is obvious at any gait. I've had two opinions on this and each has said the same thing. Let it be and give it time to see what his potential is.

He has been neutered, fully vaccinated (2 DHPPs, Bordetella, 1 yr rabies), heartworm negative and on Interceptor, deflead and dewormed. He had a workup for his knee with Dr. Chamness in Jonesborough. He had a CBC and chem profile done when I first got him and he was anemic from the 100s of ticks he had on him.

Jack is located in Abingdon, Va. For more information, call Kay at 276-492-9322 or email her, stewartka16@yahoo.com. His adoption fee is $100.00.

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.
