We are currently looking for homes for some very special dogs.
These dogs do have issues that will need people who are experienced collie owners.
If you think you may be able to help please contact us, protectingprelovedbordercollies@yahoo.com
Ruby - 6 years
Ruby came to us from a farm.
Ruby is a real cuddle bug and loves people. She needs a quiet home where she will get lots of attention. Ruby is not keen on cats but ok with other dogs.
If you think you can offer Ruby a loving home please get in touch.
Ruby is in foster at our head office in Ammanford, Wales and prospective adopters will need to visit her there.
Rocky - 3 years
Rocky is a failed sheepdog and has come to us to find his new forever home.
He is an affectionate boy who loves a fuss. He is not good with cats and ok with other dogs. He has not been around children so would only be considered for older/teenage children or an adult only home.
Rocky will need to be slowly introduced to living in the house and the bigger outside world but he is a bright boy so shouldn’t take him long.
Rocky is in foster at our head office in Ammanford, Wales and prospective adopters will need to visit him there.
Kes - 2 years 9 months
Kes needs a rural home, or a very quiet, remote property.
Kes has recently been returned to us, and is now looking for his happy ever after.
Kes is a loving young dog who enjoys his strokes and cuddles, and is generally a well-behaved boy. Kes is great with people and is fine with dogs when out and about on his walks. His recall is good, and he just loves to be outdoors playing with his ball and squeaky toys. He likes the water, and enjoys a swim.
Kes is crate trained, and it can be a useful quiet space for him, although he may not opt to use it much. He is happy to settle and relax in his bed downstairs. He can be left for up to four hours.
Kes hasn’t been around babies, and he tends to find young children over-stimulating, and he’ll try to herd them.
He’s not a fan of the car, but once on board, he travels well.
Kes walks using a harness, and is quite well mannered on the lead for a youngster. He’s lived with a cat and other dogs previously. He’ll sometimes chase birds and squirrels.
Kes is unfamiliar with traffic, as he’s always lived rurally, and not encountered it. He is, like many collies, noise sensitive, particularly with any unpredictable machinery or motorised sounds.
Kes is seeking a very quiet, active, adult only home, where he could be an only dog, or he could live with a calm, mature, female dog of similar size (with careful introductions).
Kes is in foster at our head office in Ammanford, Wales and prospective adopters will need to visit him there.
Daisy - 2 years
Daisy is a collie x (possibly lab) and is looking for her forever home.
Daisy came to us due to not getting on with the other dog and children in the household.
She is friendly girl who loves to play. She is good with most other dogs (but can be selective about who she likes) but will chase cats. She is currently in foster in Wales and anyone interested her would be encouraged to meet her (especially if they have another dog to make sure they get on ok). Daisy needs a quiet adult only home.
Nia - 7 months
Nia came to PPBC as a very scared puppy. She has now gained some confidence and is looking for her forever home. Ideally we would like any interested adopters to come and meet Nia at our head office in Wales so they can get to know her a little bit to help with the transition. If you feel that you can offer this lovely girl and a kind and caring home and the patience to go at her pace learning about the world then please email us.
Nia is in foster at our head office in Ammanford, Wales and prospective adopters will need to visit her there.
Buddy - 2 years
Calling all nurturing kind Ladies! … listen up … here’s a boy just for you!
Meet our Buddy, an adorable, 2 year 7 month old, entire Border Collie/Lab cross.
Buddy’s looking for a female only home, without dogs, or cats, with someone who wants a best furry friend, at the heart of her life to bond with. He’d prefer a quiet home that’s either edge of village/small town, close to countryside, semi rural, or rural.
Buddy craves the consistency and security of an uncomplicated, but active life, with his special lady human/s, where men won’t be regularly darkening your doorstep, and he can be a treasured mummy’s boy!
Young Buddy’s had a very rough time at the hands of an unkind man, and he’d love a new start, with a kind, patient, committed human mum, who’ll work with him, at his pace, to help Buddy leave the effects of those bad experiences behind him.
Buddy can pull, from excitement initially, and then walks well on his lead, even walking to heel when he’s into his stride.
He ignores some dogs, is quickly learning ‘leave’ with others and ignores sheep.
Buddy’s a nice dog, he’s very intelligent and receptive to training, helped by his love of food and treats, thanks to the Lab influence!
This boy will do anything for the promise of JR pets 100% meat pate!
Buddy is ready for his happy ever after! He will absolutely thrive with a firm but fair female hand.
NOTE: Any ladies interested in applying for Buddy, who are a match for his needs, can chat with Lynn about him in the first instance, and MUST be willing to travel to meet him, spend time with him, and walk with him, at least twice, at our HQ in Ammanford, Wales (by appointment only).
Look at that face - so worth a couple of road trips!
SHADOW - 1 year
Hands up if you’re looking to add a pup to your family! Grab a cuppa, and read on ….
This cuddlebug encourages fuss and hugs, and will lean right into you for more. He likes being handled and enjoys being brushed.
Shadow is crate trained; he currently sleeps well in his crate, all night, in the kitchen. His daily routine embraces regular calm time, where he naps in his crate after every walk, and Shadow is thriving on this lifestyle, which enables a collie to naturally self regulate.
Shadow is currently living with a spayed female and a neutered male and is mostly indifferent towards them, so no issues sharing his home with dogs.
This boy just loves older children - he’s living with a 12 and 15 year old and the three of them have a great relationship.
Shadow has been left for 4 hours, always after being walked, then he’s happy to snooze the time away tucked up in his crate.
He travels well in the car, and prefers to be on his harness/seat belt on the back seat.
Shadow is friendly towards other dogs both on and off the lead, and will exchange sniffs very politely and walk on.
Shadow Pup is untested with livestock, cats and small furries.
Very friendly and cuddly with people, he can show caution with strangers initially, momentarily lowering his head, but then quickly wants to be their best friend!
Unsurprisingly Shadow loves to play - ball, tug toys, and will entertain himself throwing his toys in to the air.
He’s a typical exuberant puppy - he’s learned the basic commands, sit, down, leave, and this will need to be continued/strengthened in his new home.
He recalls really well within a secure field, he’ll benefit from this reinforcing in his new home.
This lovely lad has a great CV for one so young! He shows no issues with separation anxiety, digging, travel sickness, aggression, barking, stalking, and bikes/traffic. Pretty impressive for a 9 month old. He’s a happy soul in the routine his foster has created for him.
Shadow really wants to please you … to do a ‘good job’. He longs to be your ‘good boy’ … to help him in this quest, he’s looking for a family or human/s who will continue supporting him to learn:
* to walk with good manners on the lead
* to teach him the basic collie need of impulse control
* to reinforce puppy mouthing/nipping inhibition
* that he doesn’t need to guard random ‘treasures’ like socks, or a food item stolen off the table!
Shadow can be an only dog, or live with other dogs (bitches must be spayed) with careful introductions.
He can live with dog-savvy (supervised) children of around 10 or above. He’d like to live close by to fields or countryside walks, in a rural, semi rural, village or relatively quiet suburban location.
Shadow is a lovable, super boy, and he’ll bring lots of happiness with a dose of scrumptious collie chaos into your home. He’s waiting patiently to hear from you…..
JESS - 5 YEARS
Jess is an affectionate girl and will readily jump on your knee for cuddles. She’s a worrier, and can get anxious and barky around strangers and other dogs.
She’ll allow you to wash and brush her, and rolls on her back to show you her tummy when the brush comes out!
Jess is an athletic girl and will need a minimum of 6 foot fencing, with a perimeter clear of any items that could be used as vaulting potential.
She is well mannered on her lead, but has never walked off the property, as she lives in the house conservatory, on a farm, with 25 acres of mixed woodland and grass.
Jess has had no experience of traffic, other than farm machinery, and little experience of travel. Her recall is reasonable but does require strengthening. Jess loves to play with her ball, and will happily retrieve it for you.
She shows no evidence of prey drive or guarding issues with food and toys. She’s never mixed with children.
She can be left for 2 hours initially and then gradually build it up.
Jess is not good with other dogs, and isn’t good with people she doesn’t know. She has a history of nipping, so this will need to be proactively managed.
Jess is seeking an adult only calm rural home without too many comings and goings. She is currently living with another dog but can be bossy with him so ideally would be better as an only dog.
SETH - 2 years
Seth, has a lovely temperament , happily interacts with his sibling, Bear, but we wouldn’t place him in a home with another male. He could live with a spayed female, with careful introductions.
Seth is good with people, very energetic as you’d expect from a curious adolescent, affectionate and immensely trainable.
Not suitable to live with cats or small furries and would need to be cautious around livestock until you understand and ‘have the measure’ of him.
Seth is strong on the lead, so this will need some work, he has no guarding issues and has good recall (this will need reinforcing in a new home), and he is fine being left for up to 4 hours.
Seth has had no experience of travel or traffic to date.
He will need time and understanding support from his new carer to transition into a home environment - he currently lives kennelled outdoors.
Seth is seeking a rural or semi-rural home where he could live with sensible dog-savvy children over 10.
Seth is in foster at our head office in Ammanford, Wales and prospective adopters will need to visit him there.
