Spring is here!
Spring is a 4-5 month old Sheltie/Australian Cattledog mix. She is tiny at around 16 lbs and about 14" tall. She's not going to get much bigger. She has Sheltie mannerisms and a Cattledog build being a little more solid. Spring is super active and smart. Also aptly named as she has springs in her legs! Very bouncy girl!
Spring is available for adoption now! She is being fostered in NH

Reach went home!!
Reach found his forever home!
Reach went to his new forever home yesterday on Long Island. He is on a 2 week trial but I have a good feeling he's going to stay. My house is always open to him if needed. He is going to live on a 20+ acre historical society estate. His new mom lives on the property and takes care of all the farm animals. She loves his name because I named him after a sailing term, one of her sons is a sailer. She said it's fate. Her good friend who helped her find Reach does herding and has stock. Reach is going to also dabble in herding. I think he will be a fantastic herding dog. He loves his new friends and was quite happy to play Border Collie games. They speak his language. Thank you to whoever shared my post on the Sheepdog L list because that's where she found him.
Today is a happy day for Reach. Pace is a little sad that his buddy left. He was barking through the window for him.

Reach's story
Reach is a 8-9 month old Border Collie. He and his 2 brothers were dumped in a shelter in the overnight drop off pen.
After a couple of weeks in the shelter and 2 weeks at his saviors home, 2 of the 3 were flown to Boston and Reach now being fostered in CT.
Reach is a sweet boy with a lot on his agenda. He is very active and wants to do something with his new found life. He is learning how wonderful people are. He is a typical high energy Border Collie. He gets along with all dogs including the grumpy old BC and the Pomeranian in his foster home. He loves to play with his foster mom's Cattledog and English Shepherd. He has a good recall so he can go on fun off leash hikes. He is house trained and crate trained and has good crate manners. He is learning house manners such as not counter surfing. He loves to play with toys and have bones to chew on. He particularly likes annoying squeaker toys :-)
Since coming to CT, he has learned a recall, sit and wait in his crate before coming out, sit and wait for meals, not to jump on or over baby gates, not to counter surf (sometimes he forgets this though), to settle in the house and has been introduced to the clicker and to offer behaviors for treats.
Reach has been to an agility trial and within 3 minutes of arriving, he was tugging on his favorite toy even with all the action and distractions in the building. He also played with a ball for the first time at the trial. He doesn't have any noise sensitivities or over stimulation by motion.
Reach has a lot of drive and a lot to offer. He measures around 19 inches and weighs about 30lbs. He's got a little filling out to do but he shouldn't get much bigger.
He hasn't been tested on sheep yet but that can be arranged.
The name Reach comes from sailing terms. It's the fastest way to travel

Independent rescue
I love rescuing dogs from shelters. It saves 2 lives, one the dog that comes from the shelter and the 2nd one that would otherwise be turned away because there is no room.
We can't save them all but we can make a small difference to that dog who otherwise would have no hope.
In some parts of the country, even the little puppies don't stand a chance in the shelter.
