Penny, who just celebrated her second birthday, is a delightful smooth coat, tri-color female Border Collie. She has beautiful white markings on her face, chest and front paws with a little white puffball on the tip of her tail. Penny has a distinct oval black marking on the center top of her head, and her ears are stand up perfect with a small tip. Penny weighs in at about 50 lbs, she will make someone an affectionate, loyal, friendly companion.
Penny gets along well with my two Border Collies (male and female); she is just now starting to interact in playtime. Her favorite thing is gathering toys, balls, and old socks which she keeps in her private spaces. She initially is shy and might bark upon meeting someone new but is quickly warming up to people and has done well with briefly passing other dogs on walks. She does exhibit minimum herding tendencies in her interaction with my male, nothing that I see as being troublesome, just part of being a BC. Penny has not been crated but does like her spaces (under a chair, in a basement shower and under the stairs). She is getting better at going on walks, sometimes nervous but with a little encouragement is good to go (she first
would hide but was amenable to the leash, now she is ready at the back door). No accidents in
the house; she tends to go outside, get her business done then go back inside. Her demeanor is changing over the time I have had her, the more comfortable she gets her ears are up and her tail is wagging. She runs to the door when my neighbor visits and enjoys sitting outside with him (see video of Penny giving him kisses).
Penny will benefit from and requires training (she does sit when asked with treats). There is no problem when all my dogs are fed in the same general area. She notices squirrels and deer but has shown no interest in chasing them and/or pulling the leash. The groomer gave her an A+ for listening, being bathed and brushed. She has no problems with being toweled dry (after rain) and being brushed. There have been no issues with her trying to escape my fenced in yard. The car is not her favorite place to be; she does her best to hide but is not car sick, does not pant and is not overly nervous.
Penny is a girl who has come a long way in the time she has spent in foster care with my two
dogs. I am not sure about cats and/or younger children. She deserves a loving owner who will
be patient and who will in kind be rewarded with lots of kisses. Penny was surrendered to
CBBCR and is being fostered in Long Beach, IN

Our rescue strives to find the perfect home for each and every dog that we accept. Our volunteers screen every potential adopter to ensure the safety and happiness of the dog(s) placed. Applicants are screened via telephone interview, reference checks, veterinary history and home visit to ensure the safety and well being of each dog we place. We have a high rate of success in our placement of border collies in adoptive homes.

We have a high rate of success in our placement of border collies in adoptive homes.
Each dog we rescue is placed in a private foster home. It is the role of the foster family to provide love, veterinary care and training to each foster dog.
Once in foster care, the foster home will arrange veterinary care (paid for by Come Bye BC Rescue) to ensure the health of the animal. Each dog is given a complete exam, spayed or neutered, heartworm tested, brought up to date on vaccinations and treated for any medical problems they may have. Some of the dogs we rescue have significant medical issues. We are very proactive in addressing any diagnosed or suspected medical problems, including the recruitment of specialists to treat the condition and, if necessary conduct surgery and advise on rehabilitation. Dogs are not discriminated against based on health issues.
Many of the dogs we rescue have never lived in a home or know what a toy is and need to be taught to play. Foster homes provide the training necessary for each dog to learn manners, housebreaking and basic obedience. Many dogs have had little to no human affection and attention. One of the most important jobs of the foster home is to teach a dog to trust humans.

More about this rescue
Our mission is to rescue and successfully re-home border collies. It is our belief that dogs of sound temperament should be given every chance to lead a happy, healthy and fruitful life. In support of our mission, we also offer training resources and support to current owners experiencing behavior issues with their border collies. We do this in the hope that these dogs are able to stay in their existing homes and do not end up at a shelter or in a rescue. Unfortunately, there are far more wonderful border collies in need than can be saved.
We are an all-volunteer organization staffed by individuals committed to saving this wonderful breed. Some of our volunteers have little experience with border collies, while some possess over a decade of working with border collies. We work extensively with many other border collie and all breed rescues.
What We Do--
We rescue border collies. We educate people.
Why We Do It--
Many people are interested in adopting a border collie because the breed has been labeled as the "smartest dog." With intelligence comes responsibility, and it is this lack of responsibility on the part of the owner, which results in many border collies ending up in a rescue or a shelter.
The volunteers at Come Bye BC Rescue all have a love for dogs, but a particular passion for border collies. It is this passion that moves us toward our goal of finding loving forever homes for these wonderful dogs, while continually serving as an education and training resource for both current and prospective border collie owners.
