from Western

Check out this cutie - sweet as pie and
eager to please as well! Lady Bug aka Bug follows you anywhere
and everywhere you want to go. She's loved everyone and
every dog she's met thus far. Bug came to WBCR because the
previous owners landlord didn't allow dogs. Boo! We estimate
Bug would be a great addition to any family. She should
be fine with kids and doesn't appear to be very high energy
like some border collies can be!
Bug arrived on 8/18/11 and was adopted on
10/24/11!
She was a Western
BC Rescue foster dog! |

Beethoven is 100% sweetness, with a
great personality to boot. We estimate his age at about
1-2 years and he weighs about 46#. He was brought to us
from a shelter in Utah. While at the store he has been great
with kids, adults, and other dogs. He's very curious about
everything and everyone.
Beethoven arrived on 4/22/11 and was adopted
on 5/26/11!

Brooks is a male Border Collie Mix - we think part Australian
Shepherd? He is approximately 9 months old and a total lovebug!

12/26 and taken to a Kansas shelter, and brought to WBCR
on 01/19.
Brooks arrived on 1/25/11 and was adopted
on 3/4/11!

Meet Gabe! This is one sweet, goofy
boy who is just looking for his place in the world. With
a cute jagged little blaze, adorable freckled legs, and
a completely endearing personality too - Gabe is just
irresistible!
Gabe came to WBCR from a rural Utah shelter
- he was picked up as a stray and never claimed. We know
nothing about his past. He's about 2 years old, 45 pounds
(but could stand to gain a few more) and is likely a BC
mix - with what we're not sure. What we DO know that Gabe
is a lovely and loving dog!
Gabe arrived on 10/05/10 and was adopted
on 01/15/11!

Hi, my name is Panda, and I don’t
do ANYTHING half-heartedly! I am a Border Collie/Australian
Cattle Dog (ACDs are also known as Heelers) mix –
and a very sensitive and perceptive one at that. I am just
barely a year old and am still finding out about the world
– and wow, what an incredible place it is! The best
part of it all so far is that I had the good luck to land
in rescue.
Panda arrived on 01/02/10 and was adopted
on 03/12/10!

Tyler was surrendered for "killing
livestock" at the ripe old age of 4 months. Because
of his "history of aggression" he was unadoptable
at the shelter and they called WBCR to save him! We fell
in love with his calm sweet personality and Tyler is here
to stay.
Tyler arrived on 11/03/09 and we adopted
him on 12/06/10!

BC Rescue foster dog! |

Loki came to WBCR from a shelter, and not much is known
about his past. It is clear, however, that even though
this lad is still just a pup, he is VERY well-trained.
He knows basic commands, knows not to jump up on people
(although sometimes his enthusiasm gets the better of
him in that department!) and is completely housebroken.
All he really needs work on is learning not to pull on
the leash (an easy fix if you have an Easy Walk harness!)
and recall when he is off-leash. He enjoys crate-time
when he's tired (rare!) or when he has a yummy Kong or
other such chew treat. Loki is approx. 1 year old and
fully vetted & microchipped.
Loki arrived on 10/14/09 and was adopted on 10/24/09!
He was a Western
BC Rescue foster dog!

Eek! Have you ever seen anything so CUTE??
Tillie is a little BC mix girl just oozing with character,
and at just 8 months old, she's still ALL puppy...and a
well-adjusted, happy, goofy one at that!
Tillie was found running down a busy highway
in eastern CO and was rescued by a good samaritan, who contacted
us at WBCR. We haven't had her long, but it is already clear
she has the makings of a top-notch canine companion!
Tillie arrived on 8/30/09. and was adopted
on 10/4/09!
She was a Western
BC Rescue foster dog! |

Zoie is a 9-mth-old female BC girlie
rescued from a NE vet clinic that took her in as a stray
in mid-July.
We rescued her from the clinic in late July,
and know that she is one of the most uniquely marked dogs
we've ever seen. She is also as smart & sweet as she
is striking! She loooooves children, other dogs (and is
very submissive to them), and can be a little tentative
at first with some men. She's been spayed and fully vetted.
Zoie arrived on 7/26/09 and was adopted
on 8/23/09!
She was a Western
BC Rescue foster dog! |

Joey was adopted out and then returned because he was
obsessing over the resident cat so much that he was losing
all of his hair and not getting any sleep! He is very
sweet and loved to play!
Joey arrived on 4/28/09 and was adopted on 6/11/09!
He was a Western

Wow! What a super nice, well-adjusted,
happy and agreeable young man we have here! This grinnin’
goofball is a 2 year old tricolor BC/Aussie mix who turned
up in a shelter in Colorado. WBCR was able to take him in,
and has discovered him to be a fabulous young fellow.
Jaxon is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations.
He arrived on 3/11/09 and was adopted on 4/19/09.

Sprocket is a 7 month old BC mix who has
energy to spare! He is on the small side, weighing in at
only 18lbs (we suspect there might be some terrier in there).
He has typical BC smarts and catches on quickly to new commands.
Sprocket is a typical puppy who needs lots of chewies and
exercise to keep him happy, healthy, and well behaved. Sprocket
is a little guy who’s big on energy, so needs a firm
leader who will be consistent with training and keep him
mentally & physically exercised.
Sprocket arrived on 1/4/09 and was adopted
on 2/15/09!
He was a Western
BC Rescue foster dog! |

Nip is about 7 years young and was brought
into rescue in late November, 2007 from his former “home”
in SW Colorado. The term “home” is used very
loosely here, as Nip and his brother Tuck were locked in
an outdoor chain link kennel 24/7 with sporadic food and
little/no water for months on end until someone contacted
WBCR about them, asking for their help.
Nip loves to collect tennis balls (click
here to check out a video of Nip "collecting"),
hang out with his people, and go for car rides!
Nip arrived on 10/11/08 and was adopted
on 11/10/08!

Gwyn is a short-hair Border Collie mix,
approximately 6 months old. She weighs about 20-25 lbs,
is spayed, & current on vaccinations.
Gwyn is a total sweetheart, and loves both
people and other dogs! She is very smart and very sweet,
and loves to PLAY PLAY PLAY! Gwyn would play all day &
night with our dogs if she could! She loves toys and chewies,
and will run after a ball, although she’s still learning
to bring it back again.
She arrived on 7/10/08 and was adopted on
9/1/08!
She was a Wyoming
BC Rescue foster dog! |

Hi, I'm Kit, about 1 years old and I LOVE
to run after the ball! I'm okay with other dogs after a
few minutes of introduction, but I am NOT good with cats!
I love people attention & will trade
kisses for pets! What a love bug!
I arrived on 4/7/08 and was adopted on 5/14/08!

Cattle Dog!
I LOVE to play with all the dogs around here, and love
people attention too!

family with another 6 month old cattle dog who needed
a playmate!
I was a Rocky
Mountain Cattle Dog Rescue foster!

Daisy arrived on 1/31/07 and was adopted
on 3/24/08.

Alex is about 3 years old and was found
as a stray. We do not know how is around kids but he seems
like he would be a great family dog! He loves to play with
our dogs but is also content to lay at our feet as well.
He loves pets and wiggles his butt when you are giving him
attention!
Alex arrived on 1/27/08 and was adopted
on 2/15/08. |

Hi, my name is Skeeter! I'm about 2 months old in this
picture and am such a darling little boy! I'm pretty good
about jumping and just love to be around you. Once I know
you are watching, I'm quite a show off. :) I'm really
good about waiting to go outside to potty, and I'm a total
cuddle bug! I arrived on 10/14/07 and was adopted on 11/4/07!

Stella came to us from a shelter. She
was thought to need ACL surgery but ended up only needing
a re-dock of her tail because a piece of the bone has broken
off! While she is a little snippy at first around new dogs
(just air-snaps, never connects), she does fine after the
initial introduction! Stella was pulled from the shelter
on 7/6/07 and adopted on 8/5/07! |

Pedro was rescued from a closet in a crack
house. He weights about 17 lbs right now and we don't think
he'll top 25! He was estimated to be about 7 months old
and is a big bundle of love!
Pedro arrived on 7/22/07 and was adopted
on 8/2/07! |
|
Timmy was pulled from a home when he got
stuck in the middle of a domestic dispute. He tried to follow
one of his owners out the front door and she picked him
up and threw him at the wall, crushing 4 of his metacarpals
in his little paw. That's why it was in a cast! Timmy was
about 4-5 months old and is such a sweetheart. He's never
without a smile!
Timmy arrived on 7/1/07 and was adopted
on 7/31/07! |

Maisey came to us from a shelter up near
Fort Collins. She was deemed "unadoptable" because
she's shy and was supposedly "aggressive". She
was scheduled to be euthanized. One of our volunteers met
her and fell in love, and rescued her just in time!
Maisey arrived at our house on 7/20/07 and
was adopted to a wonderful family in Colorado Springs on
7/23/07! |
|
Clancy came to us from a shelter in Nebraska.
His time was up and he was scheduled to be euthanized. The
shelter said he was "dog aggressive" and "nippy".
Well, let me tell you -- Clancy LOVES to play with our dogs!
Non-stop! He runs right into his kennel when it's time for
bed and listens really well too!
Clancy arrived on 7/1/07 and was adopted
out to a great family in Fairplay on 7/19/07! |

Cookie (black & white) was a 10 month
old pup who came to us from DDFL. She failed her evaluation
because she was very mouthy... but we knew she had a good
heart! She was adopted by someone in Breckenridge, so she
has lots of trails to hike and open space to run in!
Cookie arrived on 5/28/07 and was adopted
on 7/1/07!
Roxie (red) also stayed at our house for
a short while -- she came to us from a farm and was a working
dog there before she went deaf. She was adopted out and
then returned, but has just been adopted out again to a
new family in Colorado Springs. YAY ROXIE! |
|
Madge came to us from the Boulder Humane
Society. She was at a DDC and then was bleeding so we pulled
her to bring her to the vet. Then she caught kennel cough
so we moved her to a foster home where there were no other
dogs. While there, she suckered Nichole into adopting her.
Yay Madge! |

Prince was rescued from the Brighton Animal Shelter. He
was a stray dog that they had picked up on the street. He
was estimated to be about 9-12 months old and was not neutered
when they picked him up. The shelter was overcrowded and he'd
been there a while, so they were going to put him down. Luckily
they called Misha
May first! We took Prince in on January 23rd, 2007 and
he was adopted on February 22nd, 2007 to a great family with
a nice big backyard for him to play in! |
|
Lucky was a courtesy listing through the Misha
May Foundation. He was a pure-bred Springer Spaniel who
had developed epilepsy and had seperation anxiety (which would
trigger the epilepsy) because his owner was gone long hours
at work. Two of our clients had been looking for another Springer
Spaniel so we forwarded Lucky's information onto them. It
turned out that Lucky looked exactly like one of their old
dogs, who had also had epilespy too! They took him home the
next week, where he now has two more Springer Spaniels to
play with, a brother, Teddy, and a sister, Joni! |

Darcy was our first foster dog and came to us from the Rocky
Mountain Border Collie Rescue on July 25th, 2006. Darcy
had been tied up to a post in the yard most of her life so
had no "house-manners". She would jump on everyone
and everything and submissively pee at every movement when
we first got her. We brought her to obedience classes and
she has improved tremendously since we first got her. She
gets along wonderfully with our dog, Neisa, and they love
playing all day long! |
|
Ike was our third foster dog and came to us from the Rocky
Mountain Border Collie Rescue on August 2nd, 2006. Ike
was going to be euthanized because he was "too ball obsessed".
Seriously! He was adopted on October 14, 2006 right after
Stormy went home. Ike's new home consists of Molly, another
border collie, Bonnie the cat, and Sally & Rich. |
|
|
|
Stormy was our second foster dog and came to us from the
Rocky
Mountain Border Collie Rescue on July 27th, 2006. She
was surrendered for nipping, but we never had any problems
with that! Stormy was adopted on October 14, 2006 and went
home to Fort Collins with her new parents, Kent and Nancy
who renamed her Skye. |
