About BCRO's Available Dogs
Below is a listing of dogs currently available for adoption by BCRO. PLEASE take the time to read the biographies fully as we put alot of effort into evaluating and working with the dogs in foster care. If the dog you are interested in is not a suitable match, we are always willing to find the dog that is.

We do not adopt to homes with chidren under the age of 10. Most of our dogs come into foster care already having negative experiences and history with kids, and under no circumstances will we adopt these dogs back into homes with children.

Our adoption fee is $200. All dogs are altered (spayed/neutered) and up-to-date on shots prior to placement.

If you are interested in adopting one of these dogs, please fill out an application, or get in touch with us for more information. Email addresses and phone numbers are available on our contact page.


Available Dogs

Last Updated: March 9, 2010

Donald
Currently Being Evaluated

Donald is a 12 week old Border Collie mix (possibly with Lab).

He is currently being evaluated in foster care, but applications are still being accepted for his adoption. Poor Donald came to BCRO after being abandoned in an apartment with a cat.

This friendly pup is a little firecracker! Food and toy motivated, Donald is keen to please and loves to play.

Domi
Wonderful Companion

Domi is an approximately five year old male Border Collie, up-to-date on shots, and neutered.

This is a intense little dog with a ton of love to give, he is a love bug and adores his people and can be a real goofy boy! He makes us laugh. Although he is intense, Domi isn't a high matienence dog when it comes to exercise. He is quite happy to go for long leash walks and then settles wonderfully in the house. He loves to play with his toys and is keen to learn, he quickly warms up to new people when introduce calmly and positively.

Currently he is living in foster care with a number of other Border Collies and he is doing great they are helping to teach him some manners! He is very herdy with other dogs and gets overly stimulated. He also is living with a parrot and although initially had very little impulse control he has quickly learned to leave it alone. He will be looking for a BC savvy home who has had experience with a dog that is INTENSE! who can give him lots of long walks in the forest and continue to build on his skills, impulse control and challenge him. In return you will get a fabulous companion.

No cats (or only SUPER dog savvy) or kids.

Rally
Experienced Dog Owner
Sport or Herding Home

Rally is a four year old male Border Collie, up-to-date on shots, neutered, and crate trained.

Rally's foster home has been working very hard socializing him with both dogs and people and he is doing wonderful. However, he will definitely need a very dog experienced owner who has good training skills and is willing to continue to work with him. He definitely needs a focus. He is very relaxed and loves the cottage environment. Just try to keep him out of the lake! If he is to be placed with another dog it will take time to socialize him. While it would be easier to place him alone, he does enjoy the company of the other dogs and likes to play. He will not be placed around kids, he needs a adult only home.

Absolutely no kids.

Lexi
Active Sporting Home

Lexi is a two year old female Border Collie, up-to-date on shots, and spayed.

Lexi is a VERY high drive girl, she likes to keep busy and will need a experienced Border Collie home that can provide her with a suitable outlet, mentally and physically. This is a crazy smart girl who already has started some frisbee and agility work in foster care. She picks it up with lightning speed. She is VERY fast and athletic.

She has some resource issues with other dogs and can be quite reactive at times. We have been working very hard on basic skills and impulse control and she has come along in leaps and bounds.

Lex will only be placed in a adult home. She will need a home that will provide management. At this time we will give preference to homes already active and competitive in sports.

Absolutely no kids.

Hendrix
Loves to Play

Hendrix is a two year old male Border Collie, up-to-date on shots, and neutered.

Hendrix is back with BCRO after being out on Placement for two months. After a few days, he is settling back into foster care. We took him to the Triple Crown Championships to hang out with the gang and he got to meet and greet everyone.

We have started some foundation sport work with him in the couple of weeks he has been back. He is a big boy but very balanced and keen to play. This dog needs to be trained and handled using ONLY postive methods.

He will be back available for adoption in the next few weeks. Applications will be considered before hand.

Absolutely no kids.

Rocco
Wonderful Active Companion

Rocco is a two year old male Border Collie, up-to-date on shots, and neutered.

Rocco is neutered and UTD on shots. He has quite a large over bite but this does not seem to affect his eating. He also shows mild Obsessive Compulsive Behaviour with lights and shadows but with enough of a physical and metal outlet this seems to be minimal.

While we had this boy into the vet for his neuter we had him X rayed and full examined. We found that he has bilateral hip dysplasia also upon further examination patellar luxation on his left side. Due to this he has stretched his knee ligaments and shows mild instability. Along with Janice from Pawabilities, BCRO has had custom knee braces made for Rocco so that he can be a normal pup, these braces will stabalize his knees and minimilize further damage. Rocco will need a home that will keep him active and fit, keeping him on a joint support will help him long term. We recommend that his adopter look into swim therapy and physio to help build his hind end and keep him strong.

This dog has a unbelievable temperament, he is wonderful with dogs and loves people he will be a exceptional active companion for someone.

Jack A Roo
Very Focused and Motivated

Jack A Roo is a two year old male Blue Heeler, up-to-date on shots, soon to be neutered, and deaf.

Jack A Roo is one of the most focused deaf dogs I have ever met! This handsome and friendly boy is very keen to work with his person. He is very food and toy motivated. Jack has a great basic understanding of hand signals. He is working in a class environment and doing amazing. Jack a Roo does like to chase cars!

Obedience classes will be mandatory with adoption.

Opie
Experienced Dog Owner

Opie is a 17 month old male Border Collie, up-to-date on shots, neutered, crate and house trained.

Opie is a boy filled with love and excitement for his frisbee playing. He has completed Intermediate Training Class’ Level 1 and would love to do more training with his new forever home. Opie has learned very fast with his foster home. He can recycle, turn the lights off and bring you his dinner dish. Amongst all of Opie’s great qualities, he is fearful of new people, especially men, and this triggers an aggressive reaction, He also reacts to children and vehicles. He gets along with some dogs, but others seam to bother him, which triggers his aggressive reactions. Opie is a wonderful dog at home full of love and energy. He is great in the home when left alone for long periods and is great with his down time.

Opie requires an owner who is experienced and can work with his reactions on a DAILY basis, not just when encountered occasionally. He would do very will in frisbee training and competitions due to his desire for the sport. Once he gets to know you, you are his friend for life!

* This dog has been evaluated by BCRO but is currently with the owner, applications will be directed there.

Absolutely no kids or cats.
