Story
~Location: Taber, Alberta. ~Energy level: High energy. ~Cats and small animals: No. ~Dogs: Yes. ~Kids: older dog-savvy children. **About Journey:** Hello, my name is Journey! I’m a spirited and loving pup on the lookout for my forever family. I’ve come a long way since arriving at my foster home, and I’m excited to start my next adventure with you! **Personality:** I thrive on energy and playfulness. Whether it’s a game of fetch or exploring the great outdoors, I have endless enthusiasm for fun! Playing with toys—especially ones I can tug and chew—makes my tail wag with joy. I’m also getting better at meeting new people and am becoming braver each day. While I might be a bit shy initially, my curiosity and playful nature shine through once I get comfortable. **Training:** I’ve mastered several commands, including sit, lie down, shake a paw, and even a little “talking back”! I'm currently learning new ones like “stay” and “place.” Food is my ultimate motivator, and I’m eager to learn more in exchange for treats! My leash manners are pretty good, and I have a solid recall. I’m also crate trained and love my little den, where I comfortably sleep through the night. **Ideal Home:** I would thrive in an active home that loves to include me in outdoor activities and adventures. A family with other high-energy dogs would be great, but I need a space without cats or small dogs, as I sometimes get too excited during playtime. Frequent potty breaks are recommended when I’m loose in the house, but I’m house trained overall. If you’re looking for a playful, loving companion who is ready to explore life with you, I could be the perfect fit! Let’s make some wonderful memories together!

Story
Quick Facts Name: Kiko Age: 3 years old Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Border Collie Mix Colour: White & Black Weight: 17kg Height: 60 cm (to the shoulder when standing on all fours) My Story I'm Kiko, a sweet and resilient 3-year-old Border Collie mix with a heart full of love and a spirit that shines as brightly as my black-and-white coat. I'm a handsome, medium-sized boy weighing 17 kg (37 lbs), standing about 60 cm tall at the shoulder. My journey hasn't been without challenges-I was found in 2021 with a suspected hip fracture from a car accident. Despite this, I was described as "beautiful, gentle, and patient" in the shelter records. My hip healed on its own, and now I'm healthy, neutered, and ready to find my forever family. I've come a long way, and my loving personality has only grown stronger. My Personality I'm a friendly, social pup who loves everyone I meet! Whether you're a familiar face or someone new, I'll greet you with a wagging tail and maybe even lean in for a cuddle. I'm gentle and patient with kids, making me a great companion for families. If you pick me up or scratch my belly, I'm all yours-I'll happily roll over to show my trust and affection. My calm, affectionate nature makes me a joy to have around. My Social Side I'm a social butterfly with dogs too! I enjoy meeting new canine friends, especially those around my size, and I'm polite and playful when saying hello. If another dog gets too pushy, I prefer to steer clear rather than engage in any drama. While I haven't had much experience with cats, my easygoing and adaptable personality suggests I could learn to coexist peacefully with them. I'm a well-mannered, harmonious companion for both people and pets. My Energy Level & Walks I have a moderate energy level that makes me the perfect balance of active and relaxed. I love outdoor activities like walks and playtime, but I settle down nicely afterward and enjoy relaxing by your side. While I may pull on the leash a little, I'm eager to follow my human and learn new things. My Border Collie roots shine through in my intelligence and loyalty-I'm a quick learner who thrives on interaction and connection. After a good walk or play session, I'm ready for some quiet downtime at home. More About Me I'm a calm, adaptable dog with a heart of gold. I rarely bark unless there's a reason, and I don't guard my food, making me an easygoing addition to any household. I'm well-trained with potty habits and comfortable using both indoor pads and going outside. My gentle nature, intelligence, and social personality mean I'll fit in just about anywhere, whether you're looking for an active partner or a laid-back companion. Last Message If you're ready to welcome a loyal, loving friend into your home, I'm here to be the perfect companion. I can't wait to meet my forever family and start this exciting new chapter of my life! Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THpkskYlAMA&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jwn36sUaqG732b_1wX00ipu ##2261001##

Story
 Quick Facts  Name: Nellie Age: 6 months old (born June 2024) Gender: Female Neutered/Spayed: Yes Breed: Border Collie Color: White & Black Weight: 10 kg   My Personality Hi, I’m Nellie! I’m a young and lively Border Collie girl, born in June 2024, with a beautiful black-and-white coat and weighing about 10 kg (22 lbs). I was rescued from a high-risk situation in Masan, and now I’m ready to start a new chapter with a loving family. I’m still a puppy, so I’m full of energy and curiosity, but I’ve got a heart of gold and a quick mind that’s eager to learn. I’m a friendly, affectionate pup who warms up to people quickly – I’ll happily approach strangers and lean in for pets. In just an hour or two, I’ll show my trust by rolling over to expose my belly! I have a sweet, gentle side, but I’m also still learning the ropes of life, so I sometimes get a little excited. I adore my humans more than anything and love being by your side. I’m a fast learner! My love for food makes me especially motivated when it comes to training. I’ve already picked up commands like “sit” and “wait” with ease, and I’m eager to learn even more. I respond quickly to corrections, so gentle guidance goes a long way with me.   My Social Side I’m a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs! I greet both familiar and new pups with enthusiasm, and I’m always ready for some fun. I don’t play favorites when it comes to size or breed – I just like making friends. That said, I prefer spending quality time with my people most of all. When it comes to food, I’m still learning to share. If another dog gets too close to my meal, I might let out a little growl to remind them it’s mine. It’s something we’re working on, and I’m already showing progress!   My Energy Level & Walks Like most young Border Collies, I’m energetic and playful, so I need plenty of outdoor activity to keep me happy and calm. I love exploring and stretching my legs, but once I’ve had my fill of playtime, I settle down quietly for a nap. Even though I’m still new to walks, I’m doing really well! I don’t pull too much on the leash and tend to look back at my human for reassurance. I’m a natural at matching your pace, so I’ll make a great walking buddy as I continue to grow.   My Daily Routine I’m currently learning about indoor manners. I use outdoor potty spaces very well, but I’m still figuring out how to use potty pads indoors. I sometimes think pads are for playing instead of doing my business, but don’t worry – I’m a quick learner, and with some patience, I’ll get the hang of it!   Last Message I’m a bright, happy puppy who just wants to make you smile. I’m quick to trust, eager to please, and already showing signs of becoming an incredibly well-behaved companion. Whether it’s learning new tricks, going for walks, or just being by your side, I’ll bring endless love and fun into your home.If you’re looking for a sweet, intelligent pup with a lot of energy and even more love to give, I might just be your perfect match! Let’s grow together, and I promise to be your loyal, loving friend for life.    Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBU8EW67w-U&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyW8Rnp-36djl4yjNv8diN7 ##2255717##

Story
Quick Facts Name: Damon Age: Estimated 7 months Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Border Collie mix Color: Black and white Weight: 12.5 kg Height: 48 cm (to the shoulder when standing on all fours) Health o Vaccinations: Up-to-date, including rabies and comprehensive vaccinations. o Heartworm Test: Negative (tested in July 2024). My Story Hello! I'm Damon, a lively and clever Border Collie mix who's always ready for an adventure. My story began on a tough note-I was found lying weak and dehydrated on the streets. Thankfully, kind people noticed me and brought me to safety, where I was nursed back to health. Since then, I've blossomed into a strong, happy pup, and now I'm ready to find a family who's as enthusiastic about life as I am! My Social Side True to my Border Collie roots, I'm full of energy and love to play. Whether it's chasing after toys, playing tug, or running in wide-open spaces, I'm in my element when I get to move and explore. I also enjoy playing with my dog friends, and while I can be a little rambunctious, it's all in good fun! I'm happiest with buddies who don't mind my playful style, but I know how to be gentle when the situation calls for it. When it comes to people, I might be a little shy at first-especially around younger children who make sudden moves-but once I get comfortable, I warm up quickly and enjoy gentle pets and attention. I even don't mind being picked up into a cozy hug! I've also been practicing my manners and obedience skills in a training program, where I'm impressing everyone with my intelligence and eagerness to learn. My Energy Level & Walks My energy level is pretty high, so outdoor adventures are essential for me to burn off steam. After a good play session or a nice walk, though, I settle down happily and relax. On walks, I can get a bit excited and pull on the leash, but I respond well to gentle guidance. I'm naturally focused on my human, so with a little training, I'm sure I'll be a great walking buddy. More About Me As for my routine, I'm a big fan of outdoor bathroom breaks, and I'm learning about scent marking when in new places-it's just my way of saying hello! I'm pretty quiet at home and rarely bark, but I might give a little yip if I want something. Last Message Overall, I'm looking for an experienced family, ideally one who understands Border Collies or active, intelligent dogs like me. I'll thrive in a home where I can get plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation, as well as consistent guidance. With my smarts, boundless energy, and loving personality, I'm eager to be someone's loyal and playful companion. Could you be the one to give me my forever home?

Story
Collie is a 2-year-old male border collie with a troubled past of neglect and abuse. His former owner kept him tied up for almost two years and did not properly feed him. He was rescued when his owner tried to sell him to a dog farm. He now resides at our training center where he is being properly cared for and preparing for his new life. Despite Collie’s past, he is full of love for people. He is so cute when he begs for people to come close to him and pet him. He values bonding with people and is not shy at all, even with strangers. He especially likes to be hugged and even likes taking baths. He also has good relationships with other dogs, and although he lacks play experience with his canine friends, he is learning new ways to play every day. He has a gentle heart and does not fight or provoke conflict. Due to the past two years of neglect and being essentially restrained from physical motion, he lacks muscle development in his legs, so even a short walk can be difficult. With regular walks, he will begin to build muscle and regain his strength. He also has a strong attachment to meals which may be due to past experiences of hunger. However, he does not exhibit any signs of resource guarding. Border collies are a highly intelligent breed, and Collie exemplifies that trait very well. If you have an understanding of border collies, he could be the perfect companion dog for you. With love and attention, Collie will be a joy to your family.
