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!
Teddy- 1122
Hi my name is Teddy and I am ready to find my forever family.
I’m full of fun loving energy and adore long walks through the neighborhood and playing ball in the backyard. (I’ll help you keep that exercise resolution you made!)
I enjoy roughhousing with my foster brother and sister, so an energetic canine sibling would be just grand.
I have not been officially cat tested, but enjoy barking at and pulling on the leash to chase the cats I see on my daily walks.
Being that I am still a puppy at a year old and 40 pounds, I will do best with kids over 10, although I do fine with tiny humans as young as a year old for short periods of time.
I am 100% potty trained, vetted and crate trained. Although I can be vocal in the crate, I don't play Houdini and make great escapes.
I am being fostered in Amarillo but can travel to my new family. I am healthy, neutered, and fully vaccinated.
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!
Estee - 1129
Meet Estee, a sweet 9-year-old Border Collie with the heart of a puppy and a playful spirit that never fades!
Estee was rescued from a hoarding situation, but despite her past, she absolutely loves people and is happiest when she’s by your side, sharing in every moment.
She’s incredibly friendly, great with kids, and always wagging her tail at everyone she meets—both human and canine.
Estee is learning to sit, is potty trained (but does best with a puppy pad available just in case), and doesn’t mind riding in the car, though she’s not a big fan of being in a crate. While she can get a bit of a one-track mind when chasing her favorite toy, her enthusiasm is part of her charm.
Estee has so much love to give. She’s truly the sweetest little senior, full of energy and joy, looking for a forever home where she can spend her days surrounded by love and warmth.
If you're searching for a loyal companion, Estee is the perfect match!
Wrigley - 1140
Wrigley is the neighborhood flirt who always wants to be the center of your world.
He is always on the hunt for cuddles and snuggles. He is looking for his lifetime companion instead of wandering the streets where he was found.
At six months old, this bundle of energy probably needs another dog to wrestle with unless you have kids and they will do as well.
With the determination of a corgi and the energy of a border collie, probably a fenced yard would be best.
He mastered the doggie door in about 10 minutes at five months. He’ll let you know when he wants something such as food or a toy by his deep voice.
He is a little rough around the edges – still in puppy stage and thinks everything belongs to him.
He is built with short legs and soft fur and a very expressive face. He weighs about 45 pounds and likes his food and everyone else’s food as well. Probably won’t grow much taller.
He will sit and walks well on a leash but is lacking most other skills. He sleeps in his kennel at night and sometimes goes in the kennel during the day to rest.
Wrigley will be a true best friend and won’t leave your sight ...even in the bathroom. Never met a stranger and loves to meet other dogs. Not cat tested.
If you like cuteness and can be in charge, let me know. I am available for the right family.

Winnie - 1015
Hawk - 1172
Nova - 1136
Psst! Hi there! I'm Nova, which means "new beginning" in Latin.
I'm a bit shy until I get to know you, so let's chat quietly a bit while I get to know you!
I am purebred BC, 1.5 years old, weigh 45 pounds, have been neutered and I am 99% potty trained, 100% crate trained and I walk nicely on leash.
How did a nice dog like me end up in rescue? Well, I'm one of the lucky ones, of course!
I was born on a very busy, very loud, livestock working ranch with lots of other border collies. My first few weeks of life were a little difficult as I got burned by a heat lamp down the center of my face and almost drowned in a tub of water.
I still have a bright red scar on my head from the burn that is flaky and a bit tender at times. My foster mom has been rubbing coconut oil on it to keep the scar soft and hopefully regrow some fur. I also got bit by another dog through the fence right on my lip and jaw, so I have a scar there too! Ouch!
Some people say the scars are a little scary, but please look past that as I am THE SWEETEST, best boy in the world!
My foster mom tells me this every day. Even though I come from some fancy Border Collie bloodline, sometimes DNA just does weird things and I have hip dysplasia. It doesn't really impact me right now, except I have the cutest butt wiggle and swishy tail as I walk and it does not stop me from running SUPER DUPER fast! But know that one day, It might cause me to have arthritis as I get older.
That's why my foster mom gives me some super yummy "vitamin" treats to help my joints stay strong.
My perfect home would be with a family that is understanding of my shyness and can help me not be such a scaredy-cat with loud noises. I've come a long way, but sudden loud noises still make me run & hide!
Speaking of cats, I am cat friendly and can often be found napping with one of the kitties in my foster home.
I love people of all ages, good with kids, and I definitely need a dog-brother or sister.
I would also love a home that gives me nice warm, calm bubble baths because hoses with sprayers on the end really scare me.
Speaking of water - I actually REALLY love splashing in the doggy pool my foster dad got for me and the pond at the park is amazing. The stinkier, the better in my book!
I also would really love a home with lots of toys. Did you know that I had NEVER had a toy or treats before coming into rescue? I didn't even know how to eat a piece of chicken! Crazy, right?!
It took me a few weeks of watching my foster brother and sisters eating treats and playing with toys to figure out what to do, but now I have got it down. Get new toy, kill the squeaker, remove stuffing. I'm a pro now!
I have the best manners - I know to sit, lay down and stay. I never jump on people. I know how to take treats with a soft mouth.
I am a super good foot warmer and if you get lonely in the bathroom, I will totally go with you! I know not to bark in the house, but when I am outside, I do like to protect my family and will bark at deer, cars, or other critters that walk by the house.
Everyone who meets me says I am such a cool dog and that I am so handsome and sweet. Does that sound perfect to you? If so, please consider completing an application today!
Marshall - 1169
I’m Marshall, born April 18, 2024, which makes me almost 4 months weighing in at a little over 15lbs! I get along great with other dogs, cats, tiny humans. I love swimming, play in water, playing with toys, and of course playing with the big dogs. I am a little brave one always looking for my next adventure. I am eager to find my forever home.
I am looking for a home that will understand that i’m just a baby, still potty training and learning commands. One that will be home more than away. I really want doggy friends and tiny humans are a plus.
Please fill out an application (they take a hot minute to fully complete) so we can meet!
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.
