Looking for a small Border Collie to work with and be your best friend? One who loves all people and never meets a stranger? One who is cute, cute, cute? One who is past the puppy stage, but in many ways is still a puppy? A girl who loves to work, but also loves to cuddle and adores attention? Chevy may be the one for you! This little one was found hanging out at a Chevron Station. She had recently had puppies, but no puppies could be found. She was malnourished and needed a lot of TLC. She had been there for days when a reporter for the Baytown newspaper spotted her and just couldn't leave her behind. This wonderful woman took Chevy to a vet and paid for boarding until a spot became available in rescue. Click to read Chevy's story that appeared in the newspaper.

Chevy has thrived since she came into rescue. Her coat, which was brittle and bleached out, is now a wonderful mahogany. She bounces everywhere she goes and is just full of life. Nothing scares little Chevy - life is a huge adventure waiting to be explored and enjoyed.

Chevy is up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed and has had her hips x-rayed (they are perfect). Chevy would love a home where she could continue learning new things. She has been introduced to some agility equipment and shows great potential. She knows sit, down and comes when she is called. She is also learning to wait at doors and other basic manners. With Chevy's enthusiasm she will do best in a home with children over 10 years old and one without cats. She gets along great with most dogs, but is too pushy for timid dogs.

If you think that Chevy may be the one for you, please fill out an BCRT Adoption Application. If you'd like more information on Chevy, please contact BCRT. Chevy is being fostered in the West Houston/Katy area.

If you are looking to add some laughter to your life, you may look no further. Aleks is full of life, very active and absolutely loves people. He loves to play in water, especially water from a moving water hose. Trips to the river or lake are fun and he loves to ride in the car. Another fun game is to run with the herding ball.

Prior to being pulled from a kill shelter where he was picked up as a stray, Aleks had never been in a house. But he's learned quickly that being inside is where the people are and he can't get enough love and attention. He absolutely loves people. He has also learned his name, and knows to sit, and comes most the time, when called. He is house broken and crate trained.

Aleks has started agility training and absolutely loves it. He's is a very fast learner and will thrive with training in any competitive canine sport. Aleks would love a forever home where he can continue with his training so that he can keep his active mind and body busy.

He loves other dogs and will get along with dog savvy cats. He has good pack and herding instincts.

His hips look good on x-ray. He came into rescue heartworm positive, and has completed his heartworm treatment. He has also been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.

Introducing Mason, otherwise known as the life of the party. There is not a drop of shyness or hesitation in this puppy's nature. Mason is truly a social butterfly, eagerly meeting friends as he makes sure not to miss out on life’s next big adventure.

Mason is extremely intelligent, not to mention outgoing and fun-loving. He is not shy with his affection for people of all ages and other animals. Mason's favorite activity is playing Wrestle-mania with any dog who will join in. He adores his foster siblings in his home. He will entice them to play, even when they’re not as willing as he is. Tug of War is a favorite game of his.

Mason knows where his toy basket is, but he is not quite above the occasional nibble on things that are off limits to puppy teeth. Mason enjoys chewing on his bone or toting around his fleecy toys, especially the ones that squeak. You will rarely find Mason without a ball or a toy in his mouth. Because Mason is still maturing, he will require very close supervision for his own safety until he is older.

Mason will sit for treats—matter of fact, he will do just about anything for a treat. He also shows no hesitation when it comes to new experiences. Mason is a quick study. It doesn't take too much for him to learn a new skill or routine. So far he has mastered "sit," "high five" and "down" and a host of others.

Mason has been neutered, vaccinated and placed on heartworm prevention. He is crate-trained, housebroken and leash trained. Mason travels well by car and eagerly "loads up" when it's time to go for a ride.

He will do best in a family without small children, since he does have the rambunctious behavior of a border puppy. His adoptive family should have experience with border collies or other high-energy dogs. The ideal home is one in which Mason will be the focus of attention and not lost in the shuffle of daily activities. Because Mason enjoys playing with other dogs, his new home should include a canine companion for him as well.

Although Mason has the traditional black and white markings of a Border Collie, his size at such a young age indicates that he is not a purebred BC.

Colby is one of the sweetest Border Collies I have ever known. He loves nothing better than to be petted and loved on. He likes adults and children equally. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home. He likes to collect all the toys in the yard, which includes stealing them from his buddies! But he's just as happy cuddling up next to his human on the sofa as he is chasing toys in the yard.

He is a larger Border Collie, weighing 46 lbs and standing 22 inches at the shoulders, without an ounce of fat on him. His ears give his face a comical expression, with his left ear folded down and his right ear standing up, but tilted toward the left.

He is a very handsome, classically marked black and white Border Collie.

Colby was rescued in Canton, TX after he was abandoned near the old animal shelter. When he was found, he had heartworms, numerous intestinal parasites, and had been hit by a car, knocking the head of his left femur out of the hip socket. Colby was treated for the heartworms and other parasites and is now healthy. He is up to date on all shots and has been neutered. His hip was evaluated at the Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center and no surgery was recommended. He takes a nutritional supplement prescribed by the vet to keep his joints in good health. He is able to keep up with the other dogs in the foster home and his hip does not seem to bother him.

Colby is crate trained. He is able to settle down quietly. Like any dog, he will need supervision in his new home to ensure that he learns the rules of the house. He responds well to positive reinforcement-based training and almost always offers a polite sit in front of people. Colby would do well with an individual or family with older children that will be able to give him the love and attention he deserves. He's such a great guy!

Colby is fostered in the Dallas area. If you are interested in adopting this wonderful dog, please contact BCRT or fill out the BCRT Adoption Application.
