Border Collie

Lola's Trust

Arlo is an energetic bundle of joy who loves being outside (but not in the rain). He is good with kids - although we would recommend older due to his energy levels - but can be picky with dogs and prefers smaller dogs.

Lola's Trust

Charlie is a playful, clever pup that has already mastered the basics and walks nicely on the lead. He’s friendly with other dogs (especially males), great with dog-savvy kids, and would suit a fun, active home where he can keep learning.

Ashbourne Animal Welfare

Coapy is a handsome fella who came to us for rehoming due to a house move. He’s a Border Collie x Munsterlander… meaning he is intelligent and energetic! He will need an active home who can give him the time he deserves.Prior to coming to us, Coapy wasn’t walked much, which is a shame as he loves his walks with us and particularly enjoys his time in our exercise paddocks! He would love a home where he can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to keep him busy. It was reported that Coapy was reactive to cars when out on walks – whilst we haven’t seen any signs of this whilst he’d been in out care, it is something that his adopters would need to be aware of. He is strong to walk, and will need further training.Coapy seems to be good with other dogs, and has lived with cats in his previous home.. so may be able to share his home with other pets again. He has lived with children, and could live with children again (8yrs and over).His previous owner reported that Coapy did have some separation anxiety, so he would be better in a home where he wont be left for long periods… he would need further work to help him to feel comfortable being left alone.We did rehome Coapy, but sadly it didn’t work out for a couple of reasons – mainly his anxiety when out on walks, causing him to be very pully and not focus on anything. But separation anxiety was also a problem too. He did share the home with several cats and another dog that he was fine with.

Cheadle Animal Welfare

Duke has had a few years of upheaval through no fault of his own. He has been flourishing in his current home but sadly now needs to find another home.He needs a calm and understanding home with someone who has experience of collies and their natural traits so he can feel safe. He is nervous around loud noises and does not like other dogs. A pet free and child free home is best for him, so that children do not accidently frighten him. A fully secure garden for him to play in is required.He is a happy dog and loves to play with his toys. Like all collies he is intelligent and loves his exercise and playtime so his mind can be stimulated. He walks well but will pull towards his favourite walking field as he gets close!He is looking to become a wonderful, faithful companion to someone who will give him the time, activity and stability he deserves.We are helping his current owner to find him the perfect new home.

Islay Dog Rescue

Meet Elsa, a beautiful 4-year-old Border Collie who recently came into the care of Islay Dog Rescue after changes in her family’s circumstances meant they could no longer care for her.Elsa is an intelligent, high-energy girl who loves to play and adores her toys. Like many collies, she thrives when both her body and mind are kept busy, so she would greatly benefit from ongoing enrichment such as nose work, agility, problem-solving games, and interactive play.When meeting new dogs, Elsa can initially be reactive until she gets to know them. We believe she could do well living with a confident male dog who can match her energy levels and help build her confidence.Elsa’s lead training is currently a work in progress. She can pull on lead and will bark at passing cars, although she does not lunge. Her future adopter will need to be committed to continuing her training and helping her build calm, positive associations in these situations.She is highly food motivated, with a particular love of chicken—something that has been very useful in her ongoing training.Elsa would be best suited to an adult-only home.It is currently unknown whether Elsa could live with cats, but cat testing can be arranged if required.Vet visits are particularly challenging for Elsa, as she becomes extremely fearful, which has led to reactive behaviour in that environment. We are currently working on gentle desensitisation to help make future visits less stressful, but this will require time, patience, and understanding. We would strongly recommend her adopter speaks with their vet in advance of any appointments to put supportive measures in place.

Meet Ferg - a bright, active young lad looking for someone who can give him the loving, structured home he deserves. About FergHe’s a classic border collie — switched on, keen, and happiest when he has the space to stretch his legs and run. He loves the company of other dogs and has been brilliant on meet‑and‑greets. He’s met a wide range of dogs in foster and his confidence has grown massively because of it.He’s currently thriving in day care, surrounded by dogs, and he’d really benefit from living with another friendly dog to continue helping him develop socially.Ferg is outgoing, super friendly with new people, and thinks everyone is a potential friend. He’s been great with children, but because he has previously nipped at adults out of fear, he will only be placed with older, dog‑savvy children who understand boundaries and have switched‑on parents.He’s only seven months old, so he’s still learning and needs continued exposure to new experiences as he matures. He’s not bothered by traffic (he lives near a main road) and he ignores the chickens.He has a strong herding drive with sheep, so in a farm environment he must be kept on lead or monitored with safe, controlled introductions. He hasn’t been tested with cats.He sleeps well in a crate with his teddy and a chew, and it’s become his safe place to flop on his back and chill after a busy day. He’s had some issues in the past with being washed, but his foster mum has worked hard on desensitising him. He can now manage a warm shower calmly and associates it with food rather than fear — but his new home must continue this gentle, supportive approach.He’s a smart boy with a lot to give. He knows basic commands and has recall — he can be a little slow when distracted, but he hasn’t been with us long and he’s still building trust. He loves to play with like‑minded dogs and appeases the adults beautifully. His ideal homeFerg would suit an active home with someone who can pour time into him and finally give him the stability he’s been waiting for. This outgoing boy would really benefit from living with another friendly dog to continue helping him develop socially. He’s sweet‑natured, eager, and doing his absolute best to be a good boy. He deserves someone who will love him forever.To apply for Ferg, please complete an application by clicking the link below

Congleton Dog Rescue

Bright, high-drive young collie seeking an active, experienced home. Intelligent, eager, and full of potential.

Leicester Animal Rescue

Freya has sadly been returned to us. She is a typical collie and would benefit from an owner familiar with the breed. She is a friendly girl who can be homed with children over the age of 10 years old. She can be dog friendly and has made a few friends whilst being with us but she can also be reactive to a dog that barks at her which is the reason she has been returned to us. She has redirected onto her owner a couple of times since being in her home and this will need working on going into her new home. She walks well on a lead and would do well in an active household

Saving Saints Rescue

Magical, handsome and, at 36kg, actually not that big (!) Hagrid’s story is a sad tale.Adopted from Romania, Hagrid lived with his family - mum, dad and border collie brother - perfectly happily for four years…..until Hagrid’s mum became pregnant. Hagrid took his job of protecting mum and baby very seriously (he is after all a guardian breed!) warning people to keep away and correcting his border collie brother when he got too excited. All this landed Hagrid in trouble and despite (or perhaps because of) his devotion, Hagrid’s family decided they couldn’t keep him any more. *Our behaviourist, Julian visited Hagrid in the home and can tell you that although Hagrid got it all a bit wrong, his intentions were entirely honourable. With loving, firm guidance we believe Hagrid will make a fabulous family pet. Loving, devoted, ridiculously handsome, good with people housetrained, gentle on the lead, not destructive …..we think Hagrid deserves a chance to prove how magical he really is.Hagrid needs to be the only dog in the home. Families with children over 14yrs are welcome to apply.
