She now resides in Toronto and has a wonderful mom all to herself. (Thanks to Jenny Duffy at Quinte Humane Society for helping to save this wonderful, sweet, smart dog).

Ruby

Ruby (aka Trixie), adopted spring 2001
Ruby was definitely a Cinderella story. When we picked her up she was very dirty, overweight and headed into heat! With a little clean up, a quick spay and a entry level agility class this extremely intelligent and sweet Border Collie found her way into the heart of a fabulous new home :). She now lives on the "Agility Farm" and has LOTS of new pals to hang out and run with. We proudly watched as she and her new mom made their debut in the agility ring in November 2001.

Woody

Woody, adopted March 2001
From Darlene, Woody's new owner:
It was March 2001 and we decided that our nine year old border collie Sadie needed a friend. I called Sharon Fong of Border Collie rescue and after a home inspection we had a new addition to our family. "The Wood" or Woody as he is called has some special needs due to the abuse he experienced at his previous home. He is afraid of many things. Loud noises (outside or on television), sudden movements, cars, shadows and night are but a few. He has herded a group of young basketball players into the middle of the court, chased the maintenance worker in the park and scratched the paint on a car. Unfortunately this means he cannot be off leash until he can learn to behave.

The past eight month have been tough. Border Collies are high energy at the best of times and with "Woods" special problems it has been difficult. We have been working with a behaviour specialist and he has passed basic and intermediate training. Every day he gives a little more. (Some days he takes it back). Nevertheless he is the most affectionate dog you could ask for, he loves his new home and sister and we wouldn't trade him for anything.


Toe
