Velo
Age: 2 years
Breed: Border Collie Mix
Color: Black/White
Sex: Female
Weight: 35 lbs
Activity Level: High
Velo is ready for anything and would be a top-tier adventure companion! She is super-smart, clicker trained, loves to swim and runs with a bicycle. She loves a good frisbee and she's learning 2-disc moves, can jump over/off your body, and do back-flips. She will fetch a ball 100-yds and has some "hold" work; she waits for the ball to stop moving before going to get it. She spins, weaves legs, and goes around you. She does great with visual cues.
At home, she does not beg at dinner and doesn’t get on the furniture. She would do best without cats - it’s doable but would take work. She sleeps in her own bed and isn’t sneaky or mischievous at all. Vélo loves love and wants to snuggle up next to you.
Does well with kids and other dogs; neutered, fully vaccinated and HW negative.
Velo is eager to please and has so many possibilities, including agility and competition!

Reckon
Age: 7 years old
Breed: Border Collie
Color: Black/White
Sex: Male
Weight: 44 lbs
Activity Level: Low to Moderate
Reckon is a 7 yr old purebred Border Collie who through no fault of his own has had a rough time of it and has been rehomed a couple of times, but is looking for a new place to call his forever home. He is very sensitive to sound, so needs someone who is experienced with Border Collies and will be patient with him. He has Mild Lumbosacral disease which simply means, unlike most Border Collies, he cannot participate in high impact sports without causing a flare up so would be best suited in a quieter, low to moderately active home. He has no issues with running, hiking, playing with dogs, and chasing toys. He’s great with other animals and children of all ages. Please contact Jessica at jaenglund07@gmail.com if you are interested in Reckon.
