Bradford Pear! He is being fostered in VT. He is a sweet, friendly 3 1/2 month old puppy that weighs approximately 15 pounds. He is working on crate training and house breaking. He gets along with other dogs in his foster home. Our spring flower litter is from TN. They are thought to be Australian shepherd mixes therefore will need an active home to keep them busy both physically and mentally.  Socializing and training will be very important.  

Herding breeds tend to "herd" children therefore we will not place these puppies in homes with small children.

The ideal home will have a large fenced yard and someone home the majority of the time. These are not the breed to sit in a crate all day while owner is at work.

Before applying be sure you have thoroughly researched border collies.

Please be sure all family members are in agreement to adopting and your family is ready to bring dog home now.

Applicants must be at least 21 years old.

A volunteer will be in touch to discuss your application and the dog to determine if it is a good match. Your vet and two references will be called.  A virtual home visit done. Once approved a meet and greet at the farm will take place.  If all are in agreement and the animal has received its NH health certificate an adoption contract will be signed and adoption fee paid.  Adoption fees for dogs are $450. for adults over 12 months, $550 for puppies 12 months and younger.  Fees for seniors, special needs or harder to place dogs will be determined by our Board of Directors. All dogs will be altered when adoption is finalized, up to date on age appropriate core vaccines, negative for parasites, heart worm and lyme tested if 6 months or older, microchipped and have a current health certificate.  Proof of a basic obedience course completed is part of our adoption contract within six months.

Our descriptions are based on shelter evaluations, input from foster homes and interactions with our volunteers but are in no way a guarantee of temperment.
