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.

Annie - ADOPTED
Gender: Female Age: Young Adult Location: Bloomington IL Annie is a young adult border collie (mix?) who was picked up as a stray and was set to be euthanized at a small rural shelter. Our rescue group took her in to save her. She is a happy-go-lucky girl. She is fine with other dogs, seems fine with cats, and is not a big barker. She is just a happy, “hang out” kind of gal! (We are not certain if she is housetrained.) Annie has recently tested positive for heartworms, and is being treated by Pets Without Parents. Donations can be made via PayPal to pwpdonations@yahoo.com. Her adoption fee is $175. Annie will be current on shots, HW tested, spayed, and microchipped before she goes to her new home. She is being fostered near Bloomington IL. . Contact: Pets Without Parents <
Gracie
Gender: Female Age: 1 Year Location: Milwaukee, WI Gracie is a 1yo beautiful border collie mix. She had a very rough start to her life and wound up homeless on the streets. She was adopted by us several months ago and enjoys family life. Gracie loves to play fetch, chew on her bones and just spend time with her family. She is very loyal to "her human" and likes to be close to someone. She is fully vetted, spayed and up to date on all of her shots. She is housebroken, crate trained and understands basic commands such as sit, stay, come and more. Gracie is fearful of new people and new dogs. She needs someone who understands her special needs and can help her learn that not everyone is out to hurt her or her family. Gracie would do best in a home without children and lots of space to play outside. Contact: Andrea
Roxy
Gender: Female Age: 2 Years, 10 months Location: St. John, IN Roxy is a beautiful smooth coat purebred border collie. She is almost three years old. She is high energy and very lovable. She loves to run and fetch and also loves to be cuddled on your lap. She is spayed and up to date on all of her shots and heartworm meds. She would do well with some obedience training as she does get impulsive at times and will run off after moving objects or people. She is also weary of strangers, especially men, and could use some more socialization. She is wonderful with kids, but needs alot of attention and excercise so may do well being the "kid" in the family. Would love other dogs to play with and warms up quickly to playmates. Contact: Erin
