Southern Ontario Border Collie Rescue
Happy New Year to all our TorontoBarks.com visitors and please share with us our wish for 2011 and beyond – a loving, responsible home for every dog!
Our first column for the New Year features not one or even two dogs who need a home, but five dear dogs looking for their special someone. These dogs we are highlighting are currently with Southern Ontario Border Collie Rescue located in the Keswick area. Luan Egan, director of the rescue took the dogs from a hoarding situation in November. The dogs have made great strides but will need patient, understanding and committed people to help them over their social hurdles. When I asked Luan to send me information about the dogs for the column “Barking for A Home” she sent me a lovely poem she had written which I will share with you:
Six little Border Collies, needing a home.
Lived for a year in a pen on their own.
Six little Border Collies, none had a name
Scared of strange people, shy and untamed
Six little Border Collies, gosh what a change!
Learning to trust, and to know their new names
Six little Border Collies, now there are five
One has a home and a fresh start on life (yay!)
Five little Border Collies, dancing and gay
Happy to greet me at the start of each day
Five little Border Collies now sleep in the house
Each has a crate but all love the couch!
Five little Border Collies, start life anew
Can one of these Border Collies share it with you?
MORE INFORMATION:
All dogs are very sweet and affectionate but shy of strangers and new situations. They need patient homes who will understand that they need to go through puppy training and socialization before they can be expected to become dogs. All are sleeping in their crates and are partially housebroken. So much is new for them, but they are adapting wonderfully. None of them display any herding behaviour or strong chase drive.
MALES: NOP, DELL and MOSS
The males are 14 month all have been neutered. Nop and Dell are red tri smooth (short) coats; Moss is a black and white rough coat
FEMALES: SASS and CADY
The females are 15 month and have been spayed. Sass and Cady are black/white with rough (longer) coats
ALL DOGS have had their veterinary check up, are fully vaccinated and it should be noted that are much smaller than an average border collie as none of them weigh over 28 pounds.
For more information on these needy dogs please contact Southern Ontario Border Collie Rescue at website www.bcrescue.info or call 905 473-9050.
