Meet "Waylon" This very great aussie boy is about 2 yrs old and we rescued him from a middle TN shelter a few weeks ago. We've learned alot about him. His foster says this, "Waylon is super smart and knows many many commands. His foster says that he loves the neighbor's dogs, gives space to the cats and LOVES to play with toys and eat.
Because he is a young herding dog, we think he needs a home with older kids (if there are kids) and, although he really enjoys other dogs, he would do fine as an only dog and soak up all the attention. Also, he loves trips to meet everyone at Tractor Supply.
Waylon is vaccinated, neutered and on heartworm prevention. He is housebroken.
He is being fostered near Clarksville, TN and his adoption fee is $325. As with all of our dogs, we will require a fenced yard for him.

Meet "Odin". This boy lost his home through no fault of his own and now needs a new one. He is just a wonderful, all around good dog. He has been raised with children, cats and other dogs and loves them all.
Here's what his foster says about him,
" Odin is a lovely dog that still has a lot of puppy in him. He is environmentally sound. He will startle at loud noises and then go in to investigate. He was ready to play within a few minutes of getting out of the car after a ~3 hr car ride and having no experience with me other than me picking him up and popping him in the car crate.
He loves people and dogs of all sizes. He needs some directions from a dog savvy dog or human to learn polite rules of play, but once he understands, he is a big goofball and has a great time. He is also crate and potty trained and walks well on a leash. He has some prey drive but is easy to redirect off prey outside.
Speaking of prey drive, he shows lots of interest in barn hunt and has a good interest in disc (has already caught rollers). He adores tugging and his herding ball. My guess is that he would make a great casual/first dog sport dog that could do a little bit of a lot of things.

Meet "Zuko". He needs a foster.
This stunning boy is a purebred male border collie and he is something special. Zuko just turned one and he is a happy, well cared for boy. He is crate trained, housebroken, knows to bring a bell to go out, adores kids and loves other dogs. He has not met cats so we can't tell you anything about that.
He needs a new home because his owner is moving and trying to do the best for this boy. He tells us that Zuko hasn't met a stranger and, if he saw someone come in the front door, he would make sure they knew to pet him.
Zuko is one of those border collies that will play frisbee or chase tennis balls until the thrower wears out because he doesn't. He is high energy and needs someone that understands and appreciates that about him. Endless play is his joy.
Zuko is up to date on vaccines and will be neutered prior to adoption. He needs a foster or foster to adopt in middle or west TN. We will, as we always do, require a fenced yard.

However he would also be an amazing active companion. He loves exploring new places. We haven't gone for a hike yet, but I think he'd love going on long hikes with his person.
He's super sweet and just wants to be with his person. I laid down in his bedroom (yes he has his own room until he is fully integrated with my crew) to catch my breath when I wasn't feeling well and he brought me a few toys. When I didn't respond more than a few soft words, he snuggled down next to me and just waited for me to feel better.
I would call him a medium energy dog, and with proper exercise he settles well in the house. He's got this amazing coat that is soft and silky, but his new family should be prepared to brush him regularly. I think he would be fine as an only dog or with another dog-savvy dog. "
Odin is being fostered in LIttle Rock, AR . HIs fee is $350 and we will, as we always do, require a fenced yard. If you are interested in Odin, please email us at contact@bordercollierescuewesttn.org
