Bear is a 7 year old neutered Black and White medium coated Border Collie. He was relinquished into our care due to personal circumstances.Bear can be a little shy when he first meets new people but soon makes friends if he's given some time. He is housetrained, good being left alone for short periods, likes to play with toys and is good travelling in a car.He did on one occasion nip the owners baby when he crawled into the kitchen, didn't cause any injury. Although he has lived with another dog he does tend to bark at other dogs he see's out on a walk.

Charlie is a 2yr 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.

Evie is a 3yr old neutered collie. She originally came into our care as both her owners passed away and there was nobody else to care for her. She then spent a week in another home but because she nipped the owners grandchild's feet when she walked through the door they felt she wasn't the right dog for their environment.She is shy when first meeting strangers and has been used to a quiet home without children so would benefit from the same again.Evie is housetrained, responds to basic commands, tends to ignore other dogs out on a walk and travels well in the car.She hasn't really been used to being left alone so this will need to be built up gradually.

kaido is almost 2yrs old he is an entire blue merle collie. He came into our care as his owner was suffering with anxiety and struggled to give Kaido the time and training he required.Kaido is a sensitive boy and requires an experienced owner that understands his needs and won't put him in situations he might find challenging. He would be better suited to a calm home without young children.He is housetrained, crate trained, is good when left alone, responds to basic commands and travels well.Kaido lacks socialisation skills around other dogs and doesn't really know how to react so requires positive interaction with calm sensible dogs. He also struggles being groomed although his owner had done work in this area and could gently towel dry him all over.

Magic is a 9 month old tri coloured entire collie. She came into our care as her owner was returning to work.She is a friendly girl and has lived with 3 children. She is housetrained, responds to basic commands, mixes well with other dogs and has lived with 3 cats although she did "stalk" one of them.She has only been left alone for odd hours so this will need to be built up overtime and she isn't really used to travelling so again this will need to built up.

Hi there my name is Pongo i will be celebrating my 3rd birthday later this month.I spent my early days in a home with my mum after i was purchased as a gift for her, life was great until one day she told me she felt she was too old to care for me and thought I'd be better with a family. I was devastated the day she left me at the kennels and said goodbye. After a few weeks a young couple came and said they would like to take me home, i was so excited. I tried my hardest not to soil in the house but on the odd night i just couldn't help myself but my mum and dad understood this and didn't get cross at all. At last i felt happy again.I was a good boy when they went out and left me alone, i travelled well in their car and loved playing ball out in the fields. I did sometimes "stalk" other dogs out on a walk but then i suppose i do have some collie traits. My only down fall was that i shared my home with a cat and it didn't matter how hard i tried i just couldn't help but chase her and because of this my mum said i needed a home without other pets so again I have found myself at another kennels awaiting a home only this time all my friends are proper border collies so nobody seems to want me as i don't look like they do. Please just give me a chance as i have so much love to give to someone.Yours hopefullyPongo
