Other Available Dogs

Please be patient while the pictures download.

Unfortunately, we do not always have enough foster space to accommodate the many Border Collies who need to be rescued. And luckily, some owners who need to place their dogs keep them until a suitable home is found. The dogs below are listed as a service to those individuals or other rescue groups. Great Lakes Border Collie Rescue has not met these dogs and therefore, makes no representations of the health, temperament, or suitability of these dogs. Nonetheless, they still need homes. If you are interested in one of the listed dogs please contact the owner/shelter directly. These are not GLBCR foster dogs and it is not necessary to fill out an adoption application. All adoption details will have to be negotiated with the owners of the listed dogs. Please be patient while the pictures download.

We try to keep these pages up to date. Please email us if you are having difficulties getting in touch with one of the listed rescuer or if a dog has been adopted.

Wren is one special girl! She was at a shelter where she was as scared to death, mentally and emotionally shut down. She has made great strides after leaving the shelter and her true personality is starting to shine through. She is still a little shy and timid to new people and situations and will benefit from socialization. Confidence building (training, dog sports) will be required for her. She loves balls and seems to enjoy fetching (though she has a lot of competition in a multi-border collie foster home). She has a lot of energy that could be channeled into dog sports and she makes a great running partner too.

Wren is very exuberant, but is not "herdy" or overly obsessive. She has seen sheep a few times and really had no instinct or interest in gathering. She can be very stubborn if she doesn't want to do something. She does like to chase birds and squirrels outside (cats sometimes). She is very much a "velcro" dog and likes to be close to people at all times. She does follow you everywhere and is under foot often. Love car rides and is crate trained. She is great with other dogs and cats (though she will chase outside, but stops when corrected). The cats in her foster home seem to like her and sometimes play with her.

Her best home will be an active home where she is mentally and physically challenged to meet her needs. She is suited to an active couple/family and shouldn't be left alone for hours on end. Other dogs in the household would be great too.
