Available Dogs
All dogs who are available to adopt are vetted and up-to-date on all vaccines. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog’s individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a certain look and feel.
We always highly recommend putting in an application and getting approved before you see a dog and fall in love!

Jet - 1051
Hello There! The name is Jet (Formerly known as ‘J-T’, from my shelter days).
I am a lean, neutered, bouncy, approximately 2yo, 37lb border collie mix. My fosters at least say i am an Honorary Border Collie because of my coloring, tail floof and ears.
I am highly food motivated and am quick to learn. I am a huge snuggler and crave attention from my people.
My foster dad believes I’d be great for a pre-teen to grow old with and learn new tricks!
I will quickly become a velcro dog to my person. My attachment is part of my personality, I’ve been abandoned a lot in my short lifetime and I have separation anxiety in the form of some excessive drooling. I am being managed with Fluoxetine and my foster parents have seen a drastic improvement with my anxiety since.
Though I know my kennel is a safe space and will readily go in, I can quickly make it a swamp too. Just remember to come back for me, okay?
My foster parents think i would be best as the only dog in the home, but with the right experience, may get along fine with another dog around my size. Its a process sometimes but I get along well enough with my foster siblings. I just need time to adjust to change and do it gradually and if you are someone experienced with this, It may just work!
Because of my history of abandonment, I do some resource guarding that will need to continued to be worked with in my future home. Cats are definitely a no go though, as well as small dogs - They just look tasty!
Other than that, I am known for getting some serious air time. Mom keeps saying I am a “Tigger”, with springs in my legs? I still haven’t figured out what that is or that I can go over things, including the baby gates in my house.
I can certainly jump to your level though!
All i am saying is, just be patient with me and you’ll see what my foster parents see in me! I have a lot of potential!
Sydney- 1090
Are you a gentle person looking for a companion who is easy to exercise in your fenced yard and a wonderfully entertaining friend?
That's ME!
I’m Sydney, a small girl (27 lbs), 18 months old, spayed, healthy, vaccinated BC/Mini Aussie mix.
I like training exercises (treats!) and learn fast! I sleep deeply through the night in my comfy crate and don’t mind spending a bit of time there during the day if you have to run errands (like getting me new tennis balls!)
I have a busy mind, will bark at sudden noises (apartment living would not be a good fit). I can be picky about canine friends and not a good buddy for birds, cats, squirrels, rabbits, or small children.
I am smart and sensitive, will follow you everywhere, look to you for guidance and comfort (and tennis balls).
I truly want to please you. I am expressive, have the cutest wiggle butt you’ve EVER EVER seen, and if you love to laugh out loud, I’m your girl!
I am currently in the DFW area and ready to be adopted!
Wrigley - 1140
The Mack truck of puppies, the wriggliest of them all, Wrigley!
Coming in at a whopping 65lb plus, this neutered pup isn't even a year yet and is not for the faint of heart!
This sweet boy has a big playful personality and loves to throw his weight around.
Mr. Rig is looking for a forever family/person that can keep up with his energy, both physically and mentally!
He would love some kids or younger/larger dogs to play with as he loves to roll around and wrestle. He is actually pretty malleable with people and dogs and will happily flomp over for belly rubs! Have a pool or like to visit the lake?
We believe Mr. Wrig will take to water like a duck and thoroughly enjoy some summertime swimming! Wrigley will need an experienced family that knows how to stay consistent with obedience to really thrive. Though it is for his own good to become a top notch canine citizen, he will happily tell you all about it.
Wrigley is very food motivated and walks decent on a leash, though he does love to try and catch bugs, eat long blades of grass to look like a rustic Texan, and explore his surroundings, he tires out pretty quick in the heat.
Think you may be interested in meeting this big cutie? Send us an inquiry!

Sparrow - 1171
Sparrow is a 5 month old girl looking for her perfect family!

Be sure to send in your application for sweet Sparrow or her brother Hawk!
Gus - 1152
Nimoy - 1117
Meet Nimoy. This 10-year-old handsome gentleman is just that. A gentleman. He has very good house manners and gets along well with other dogs, large and small. He is not good with cats. He has not been tested with small children. He loves people and craves attention and love. Nimoy came from a very loving home and sadly lost it when his previous owner died along with his canine companion leaving him with no home, so he came to rescue.
Here is what we know about him: He walks well on a leash and knows sit, stay and come. He is house trained but not crate trained. He has severe separation anxiety but is fine if he has a canine companion to stay with him when his people are gone. He would not be a good dog for a first-time dog owner as he does have some issues that would require someone with some experience to work through.
In summary, the perfect home for Nimoy would be with experienced dog owners with patience and knowledge to continue to help him work through some issues that most likely have resulted from the loss of his family. He needs a calm home without cats, preferably with a canine companion. I would not recommend a home with small children. He is UTD on all vaccines, neutered, and on HW and Flea and Tick preventative.
Are you that perfect home to provide Nimoy with his soft spot to land and spend his golden years? If so please go to please go to the website below and fill out an application. BCRRT is a Texas based rescue with fosters in TX and OK.
Lucy - 1164
Lucy goosey goose or at least that’s what my foster dad says when it’s time for dinner! Hi!
My name is Lucy! I am a 5 year old female Border Collie in the DFW area, searching for my furever home. Is that you?!
I am around 40lbs, spayed and UTD on shots. I’m your typical BC - herdy, nerdy, active and playful! And sometimes a little quirky.
I was an owner-surrender to a Texas shelter because my owners couldn’t care for my vet bills anymore. After many tests, trials and treatments the vets were a little stumped on why I sometimes have issues digesting my food 
sometimes I eat too quickly and sometimes food gives me indigestion so it comes back up. It doesn’t affect me much beyond some fluctuating weight and doesn’t happen all the time - see, quirky!
My foster parents said whoever adopts me just needs to be patient and kind with me. I would do best as an only dog or with a four-legged friend who is playful and doesn’t mind me wanting to herd them!
I would also do best in a home with older children because I do like to herd (I’m a border collie!) Maybe even an older home with someone to keep me company during the day, walks and play time!
I am cat tested and safe, the resident cat is a little scary. I am crate trained, leash trained and my favourite thing in the world is to play fetch!!
If I sound like the girl for you, reach out today
Izzy - 480
Meet Izzy bizzy bee
Maddie - 1177
Who's up for a quirky red and white coated BC mix girl who has so much love to give? Well then, I might just be your girl.
I'm Maddie and I am searching for a family who will let me follow them everywhere, cuddle with them, and are home almost all day long.
I just love to be near my foster family and sleep in their bed. (I'm sneaky and start on my mat but I jump up sometime in the night and cuddle with them and one of their dogs.)
I'm a lower to mid level energy dog and like to chill whereever you are.
I want to be a lap dog if you will let me. I also really want a dog sibling to play with.
I LOVE playing with my foster dog sisters, it's so much fun. I love to do zoomies in the backyard and play chase with my foster's 3-year-old BC, and hunt for squirrel and geckos. I also live with 2 senior girl BCs and sometimes I can be a bit much in their face because I just want to play but I'm still learning that not all dogs want to play with me all the time.
Recently I started playing tug of war with my foster sister and it was so much fun. We tugged and tugged till all the sudden there was this white fluff all over the place. I just don't understand how the toy exploded!
I love to chew on dog toys and I’m learning to play with them. Playing fetch I haven’t figured out. I do like to chew on the ball but it you throw it at me to catch, I will duck. Not sure I will ever get that game, but maybe one day I will if you give me lots of time to understand it.
I have been working on my manners and love getting treats, ice cubes, fruits and veggies.
I have been told I am food motivated. I still like to jump up to give people hugs but when I do that, I am very gentle.
I love going for walks, but I really need more training on this. My foster mom says going to training classes with you would greatly help my confidence but I only want to go with you to classes that are fun and postive where I get lots of treats! I'm very sensitive and can be afraid of new things. Even the big TV makes me jump back sometimes when the screen changes, but I have been told not to watch TV as it's not good for me anyway.
I'm great in a crate at night if needed as long as you are there with me, but I'd rather be in bed with you.
I have been working hard on being OK in a crate when my foster family is gone. Thankfully my foster mom is home almost all the time. I get a bit of separation anxiety when they are gone and might bark in my crate. My foster mom has been teaching me that I'm OK when they are gone. I now love getting stuffed Kong toys and that really helps me to settle. My foster mom has these cameras that can record me when gone. So, they know that I have learned to settle and not bark but I do get excited and bark a bit when they come in the door.
I have come along way but will need time to get used to my new family being away from me. So please give me time.
I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but warm up quickly. I haven't been around young children yet, but my foster mom thinks I would be good with kids 5 and older, younger kids I might be too much in their face as I just want to love them and lay on them.
Now, about my coating; it is super silky soft and you are going to love it and I don't mind people brushing it or washing it. But since I have a full white face, I must be very careful outside not to get sunburned especially around my eyes.
I'm been told I am around 1 1/2 years old, 40 pounds, spayed, potty and crate trained, and up to date on all vaccines and heartworm preventatives. I am located near Houston. I look forward to meeting you soon!
Primrose - 1104
Prim(Rose), affectionately known as Prim, is a vibrant, young, healthy, spayed, border collie mix with a heart full of love and a mind sharp as a tack.
At just shy of one year old, Prim is a bundle of energy and intelligence, showcasing the strong herding instincts that her breed is renowned for.
Though she may be on the smaller side, what Prim lacks in size, she more than makes up for in spirit and agility.
Prim thrives on engagement and loves to put her brilliant mind to work, making her an ideal companion for an active family that can provide her with plenty of mental and physical stimulation.
Her keen intelligence means she’s a quick learner, eager to please, and ready to take on any challenge—whether it’s learning new tricks, navigating agility courses, or going on adventurous hikes.
While Prim adores human companionship, her strong herding instincts make her choosey about her canine friends.
While Prim loves wrestling with her doggy friends, she is not a fan of sharing any of her toys. She would do best in a home without other dogs or with a very confident dog who can match her energy and leadership. This will allow Prim to shine as the loving and loyal companion she is meant to be, without the stress of navigating complex doggy social dynamics.
Prim is looking for a forever home that understands and appreciates the unique qualities of her breed—a family that is as active and adventurous as she is, ready to explore the world together.
With the right guidance and love, Prim will not only be a faithful friend but a true member of the family, bringing joy, laughter, and lots of fun to her new home.
If you’re looking for a smart, spirited, and sweet-natured dog to add to your life, Prim(Rose) is waiting to meet you.
Maple - 1178: Coming Soon
Maple is a just as sweet as her name. The loving and trusting nature of this once outside dog will melt anyone who meets her.
She has such a gentle disposition, she is very dog friendly, and has a wonderful relaxed off switch.
Maple takes a moment to warm up to new situations but is very trusting of her humans.
She has been a great car rider, transporting from Oklahoma to Dallas along with multiple vet visits. The vet office commented on how calm she was during her exam and shots.
Maple currently isn't a fan of the crate, but is not destructive indoors when left with her foster doggy friends.
She is housebroken and sleeps through the night on a comfy dog bed.
She is spayed and weighs 31 pounds.
Her ideal home can be a busy household but recommended children over 5 as she still has uncertainty adjusting to indoor living. In her foster home she has done amazing meeting new people but needs a patient adopter to help her navigate her shyness.
She would love a doggy playmate. Her prey drive would not permit her in a home with cats, chickens or other small animals.
Maple is currently undergoing treatment for heartworms and is healing very well so isn't immediately available for adoption. However if this freckled red sounds like a fit for your family please submit an application.
She will be available in November to move into her forever family. She is sure to provide her forever home with a lifetime of sweetness.
