Border Collie Trust

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 will 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 will need you to visit me more than once so I can really get to know you before you take me home.

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.

Chase is a 9yr old neutered collie. He came into our care as his owners felt they no longer had the time to give him.He has lived in a rural area and would possibly benefit from the same again. He is a friendly boy but would be better suited to a quiet home without young children.Chase is housetrained, is ok being left alone for a few hours, loves to play ball, has lived with a cats and travels well. He prefers his own space away from other dogs so would need to be an only dog. He does sometimes lunge at traffic if being walked by a bust road

Kenzie is an 8yr old neutered collie. She came into our care via another rescue after being with them for a year. She was originally rescued from a hoarding situation.She is a friendly girl and should be suitable to live with older children. She responds to basic commands, plays with toys, travels well and is clean in kennels.She does chase cats and can sometimes get frustrated around other dogs and on one occasion at the previous rescue when being walked by a volunteer she nipped her leg causing bruising and two shallow teeth marks. Kenzie can walk alongside some dogs without any issues and although she has lived with other dogs we feel she would be better as an only dog.

As you may have noticed this lovely girl is not, in fact, a Border Collie. She somehow made the journey over from Ireland and into our rescue before anyone asked too many questions, so now we’re simply rolling with it!She was given up by her owner, where she was reportedly a little bossy with the other dog in the house and could guard her toys. She later spent time in foster care and was said to be very good with the children there but did snap at the grandmother.Since arriving with us, she has been a little shy meeting people but quickly warmed up to staff and happily sought affection and attention. She has also walked nicely alongside another dog and is settling into kennel life well.She did spend one night in a home but was returned the following morning as when she was out in the garden she snapped at the female owners arm causing a tooth scrape and also tore a small hole in her top.Mabel would be better suited to a calm quiet home without young children, Hopefully there’s someone out there willing to forgive her for not being a Border Collie!

Maisie is a 4yr old black and white short coated neutered border Collie. She was handed in from her own home due to not coping with the other dog in the home when he chased his tail. We are told otherwise they got on really well. She was only in this home for 3 months prior to this she lived with an elderly lady who could no longer care for her. She is not really used to being left alone and has on occasions chewed the furniture. She is house trained, travels well and is good with visitors to the house. We are told she can be snappy in close contact with other dogs so maybe best as an only dog.
