Alfie is a 4 year old entire collie cross. He originally came into our care after his owner was admitted into hospital. He then spent the last year in another home but they felt their environment was too busy for him due to having various visitors which Alfie found difficult and would often bark and lunge until he got to know them. Alfie is a very shy boy but if given time soon warms up to people. He requires a quiet adult home and an owner that is willing to give him the space and time he requires to gain confidence. Everything needs to be done gradually with Alfie so he doesn't feel threatened or get put into situations he find difficult. Alfie is housetrained, is good when left alone for a few hours, travels well, knows some basic commands and is ok around other dogs.

Andy is a loveable boy, sweet, fun and has bags of character. His eye-catching colour makes him stand out from the crowd and everyone is pleased to meet him out on his walks. Being part sight-hound, he has a prey drive but he is in training for this and being collie smart, he is learning quickly. He has basic commands and would really benefit from a home that would be dedicated to continuing his training. He loves his walks and is come on well with his lead training, and stop commands. He loves to play with all his toys in the house and is clean in his crate at night and sleeps through to morning without a peep. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play as much as he can. He will happily find toys to entertain himself too. Travelling in the car entertains him for the whole journey, happily looking out the window. He is looking for a 5 star furever home, who will give time plenty of time and energy to continue his journey to becoming a really great dog.Kids around 10+. No cats

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.

Hi, I’m Barney! I’m a 4-month-old Border Collie cross puppy looking for my forever home through no fault of my own. Everyone says I’m a very sweet boy, and now I’m hoping to find a family who can help me grow into the best companion I can be.As I’m still very young, I have lots to learn about the world around me. I’ll need a patient and understanding home that recognises I’m still a baby and will need support with housetraining, basic manners, and learning all the things that good dogs need to know. Positive reward-based training will help me build my confidence and understand what’s expected of me. With time, consistency, and plenty of encouragement, I promise I’ll figure it all out!I love to play, explore, and have the occasional zoomie, so I’ll need a secure garden with 6ft fencing where I can safely burn off some puppy energy and enjoy myself.I could live with children aged 11 and over who understand that I’m still learning and will need my own space, boundaries, and time to rest when I’ve had enough excitement.I may be able to live with another friendly dog and possibly even a cat, provided we’re introduced properly and get along well.Because I’m still a puppy, I’d like any time spent alone to be introduced very gradually. I’ll need help learning that being by myself is safe and nothing to worry about, so my new family should be prepared to build this up slowly and at my pace.If you’re looking for a loving, clever, and affectionate young pup to welcome into your family, I could be the perfect match. All I need is a little patience, guidance, and lots of love—and I’ll reward you with a lifetime of friendship.Love,Barney Key info: Large breed, Cat friendly, Children 11+, Dog friendly - on walks, Needs to be housetrained, Dog friendly - in the home, Needs to build leaving hours

Hello, I’m Bayley!I’m a 5 year old neutered Collie Cross, and I’ve had quite the journey. I originally came to the rescue because my humans weren't feeling well enough to look after me. I've spent a very short time in two further homes, but I got worried around new people and did growl and snap.I can be a bit unsure when meeting strangers, so I’ll need someone patient who can let me come to them in my own time but once I'm confident you're not a threat i will be your best friend. I do best in a calm home without lots of visitors or young children, where I can feel safe and relaxed.The good news? I’m housetrained, I know some basic commands, I love playing with toys, I travel well, and I sleep peacefully through the night. I tend to avoid other dogs, though I might react if they react to me first, and I’m a little nervous around traffic and loud noises — so slow and steady wins the day with me!If you’re willing to give me time, patience, and lots of gentle reassurance, I’d love to show you what a loyal and loving companion I can be. I might need you to visit me more than once so I can really get to know you before you take me home.

Border Collie Trust

I came into care because my previous owner couldn’t give me enough time due to work. I had a 7-week stay with another family, but it didn’t quite work out as I got a bit defensive with the lady of the house when she tried to correct me but when dad was around I felt much happier around her.I’m a friendly guy when meeting people, I am housetrained, happy to be left alone for a few hours, and I travel well. I can be a little unsure around other dogs at first and often bark but once introduced correctly I can be ok but I may not live with others. I do have a bit of a chase instinct when it comes to cats.I’m looking for a patient and understanding family who can help me feel confident and loved.

Gorgeous Bodhi came from Ireland in February last year and quickly found a fantastic home. He was living a great life with his adopter until last week, when we were all shocked and saddened to hear that this wonderful lady, had tragically, unexpectedly died.She has worked extremely hard with Bodhi, spending many hours walking, training and taking him to places like cafes, pubs, town centres etc. He loves travelling in the car, knows a number of advanced tricks and was about to start doing heelwork to music.Bodhi is an extremely active dog. He has been doing several long walks a day, often managing over ten miles. He's very agile, loves jumping on and over things and would be a great agility prospect. He is good with dogs of all sizes on walks and has a few firm friends who he plays with.He has quite a high chase instinct which was also worked on, this has improved but he can still sometimes react to moving vehicles, trains, deer etc so this will need to be part of ongoing training.We are looking for a collie experienced home who will understand his traits and continue his training. He thoroughly enjoys and needs lots of exercise and would walk all day if you let him! He would thrive doing dog sports such as agility, hoopers, obedience or heelwork to music as he is extremely keen and trainable.Bodhi was a much adored dog. He and his adopter had a very special bond and we know they would have achieved a lot together.Someone out there has a Bodhi shaped hole in their lives that he can fill with adventures and they will be very lucky to have him.Older kids. No cats

He originally came into our care due to a change in his owners working hours, in this home he happily lived alongside a 5yr old child and 15yr old. He then spent 7mth in another home but was returned as he didn't get along with the other dog in the home who was terminally ill and recently had began growling at the owners adult son.Boo can be a little shy around new people so would benefit from a calm, quiet home without lots of visitors.He is housetrained, is good when left alone, responds to basic commands, travels ok if not fed before hand and is fine meeting other dogs out on a walk.

Border Collie Trust

He came to us via another rescue after he was surrendered to them by his owner, reason u/k.He is a shy boy and will need time to adapt to a new family and new experiences. He is good meeting other dogs out on a walk and has settled well into kennel life.

Charlie is a 2 year old neutered Collie Cross. Before coming to us he spent his life living on a small holding in a secluded setting amongst several other dogs.Charlie has no real life experience of the world outside of where he lived and had never been on a lead. It took us several weeks to gain his trust enabling us to then gently handle him, since then he has made good progress and now happily greets and interacts well with staff. He will happily go out for walk and spends time playing with dogs that he has built a relationship with.He requires a quiet home environment and an owner that understands his needs and is willing to give him all the time and patience he requires.

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.
