Solar Lodge Shelter (Berkshire Park, NSW)

Breed: Border Collie
Gender: Male
Name: "Spud"
Age: 10 years
Desexed: YES
Shelter Notes: Spud was surrendered at the age of 10 yrs because of his family's changed circumstances - after he had been part of the family since 8 weeks of age. Spud is a dignified gentleman, he is house-trained and is very comfortable with other dogs and people. He is very well mannered and is a very happy boy. He is in good general health with good movement and clear eyes. Spud is an absolute gentleman of a dog and he would suit a home with another friendly dog where he is allowed to spend his well earned retirement inside with his family.

Breed: Border Collie
Gender: Male
Name: "Ewan"
Age: 5 years
Desexed: YES
Shelter Notes: What a beautiful boy Ewan is. Dignified and at pains to always do the right thing and devastated if he thinks he hasn't. Ewan is a very gentle soul and he would thrive in a home with a settled family where he can be treated with the respect and love he deserves. This super intelligent boy was originally a pet shop pup, probably bought on impulse and dropped off at the pound when he no longer suited the family for whatever reason; but nothing that this beautiful natured boy has contributed to. When he was surrendered he was terribly underweight, which he is gradually making up for. Ewan appears to have had some training and will heel, sit and drop and will walk beautifully on a lead. He is also quite fastidious about being clean and keeping his personal space clean. Ewan would do well with the company of another quiet and gentle female his own age as he is good and patient with other dogs and he simply adores people. A very, very special boy who tugs at the heart strings of everyone who meets him. Just gorgeous.

Sydney Dogs & Cats Home (Carlton, NSW)

Breed: Border Collie
Gender: Female
Name: "Bella"
Pound Notes: Super active, this darling dog will need an owner who can take her for long daily walks and who can help build her confidence. She's currently quite head-shy and appears to not like children. Bella is best suited to a single person owner or an older family. She will need lots of exercise. She is still young and will definitely benefit from some obedience training, and can be vocal if bored.

Save-A-Dog Scheme Shelter (Glen Iris, Vic.)

Breed: Border Collie Cross
Gender: Female
Name: "Nellie"
Age: 12 months
Desexed: YES
Shelter Notes: Nellie is full of bounce and the desire to be in everything... and not much happens that she doesn't notice! She would be delighted to live with another active dog she can run and play with at home and in the park; she will not do well if she's left completely on her own all day. She will need some training but that should be easy with her intelligence. With the right direction and a fun-filled life, Nellie will become a great companion.

She will do her utmost to make you happy and to show you how much she appreciates everything that is done for her and she will be an inseparable member of your family for life!
