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!

Meet Izzy bizzy bee 

Izzy is a very special girl and she’s looking for her very special family, maybe that’s you or someone you know!
Izzy is a former alumni dog who has come back to BCRRT - through no fault of her previous family - unfortunately circumstances changed and it was best for all parties that Izzy come back to us. 
 
Since being back we have learnt all about Izzy and her wonderful personality.
We have discovered the love she gives us is never ending, the cuddles she produces are out of this world and that she loves nothing more than her donut ring toy and a tennis ball!! She does take time to warm up but once she trusts you, she bonds to her person/people and is ready for all the adventures that lie ahead.
Izzy will need a home that is quiet. She would be best suited to a family with no young children and no other dogs.
She is such a sweet girl with love to give and would love to find her forever home with people willing to spend time with her, throwing a ball around, quiet walks with her humans and cuddles.
She is active but has an excellent off-switch and knows when it is time for inside vs outside.
Izzy would do well with an older couple, maybe an empty-nest home where she can be spoilt forever and ever. In return she will give you her unwavering loyalty and spunk
Izzy is around 6 years old, UTD on all shots and spayed.
She is crate trained but is perfectly fine out of one, she walks well on a leash but is strong.
She rides well in a car and is located in the DFW area.
Interested? Reach out to us and apply today! We believe Izzy deserves the world and can’t wait to help her find it.

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.

HELP! I need a new human friend S.T.A.T. !!

My name is Sydney and I am a 30 lb, 2 year old BC/Mini Aussie mix.

The Faux Mom I live with is INTOLERABLE. She laughs at my sparkling personality ALL THE TIME, kisses my head many times a day, constantly mentions my bob-tail wiggle butt (it’s humiliating), and MAKES me play with tennis balls many times every day. She never sits still, and since it’s my job to be her shadow, a girl just can’t get a good nap!

Worse thing: she LIMITS my snacks (unless we’re training, which I love to do), but WHY? I am not the one who needs to be on a diet, just say’n.

I’m hoping for a home with a nice yard for ball play (do this enough, and I won’t need a lot of other exercise!) with no small animals (except for squirrels, they are FUN to chase – which is why other small animals would not appreciate my stunning running/jumping/almost flying abilities), and no small children (same reason).

I am anxious around other dogs but being the only dog with my special “need ALL your attention” abilities - my super power - you’ll be OK with just me.

Trust me. I’ll keep you more entertained than any two dogs could ever do! I’m currently trapped in a DFW home, but travel well in a car so meeting you somewhere might be doable!

As you can see, I need you to rescue me NOW while I have ANY dignity left.

Meet Solo!

Solo is a devoted companion who loves to be right by his person’s side—he truly is his human’s shadow. He is about 4 months old, 26 pounds, healthy and fully vaccinated. He is too young to neuter just yet.

While he can be a little more confident and dominant than his brother Link, he quickly responds to appropriate corretion, whether it comes from his human or his canine foster brothers.

Solo is a gem in the crate—he settles right in and never makes a sound. He’s also learning fast and already knows drop it, leave it, and down. Like his brother, he’s developing an interest in balls and looks like he’ll be a great fetch partner with a little practice. Solo also has a playful side—he enjoys “stalking” the neighborhood birds that like to perch on “his” fence, which keeps him entertained and curious.

With his loyal nature, good manners, and eagerness to learn, Solo will thrive in a home that gives him love, structure, and plenty of time with his favorite people.

Meet Link!

Link is a sweet, loving puppy who wants nothing more than to be close to his person. He is about 4 months old, 25 pounds, healthy, fully vaccinated. He is too young to be neutered just yet. He’s curious and inquisitive, but also eager to please and looks to his human for reassurance. Currently fostered in Huntsville, AL, Link lives happily alongside both cats and dogs.

He adores his older canine foster brothers and is very interested in making friends with his feline companions. This smart pup is doing wonderfully with potty training—he’ll even go to the back door to let you know when it’s time. He’s also learning to be comfortable in his crate, though he may whine a bit to remind you that he’d prefer to be with you.

Link has already picked up on several basic commands like leave it, drop it, and down. Like any young pup, he’ll need continued patience and consistency, but he’s a quick learner. He’s also shown a love for balls and is well on his way to becoming a fetching pro!

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate puppy who will grow into a wonderful companion with the right guidance, Link may just be the perfect match for you.

Looking for a young female to adopt? Meet JUNO!

Juno is a Border Collie lovers DREAM! She is everything you would want in a BC puppy (under 1 year old). She is a lovely girl and full of energy, well trained for the most part. Happy, healthy, spayed, FUN, and BEAUTIFUL, this pup is magnificent!  She loves to swim, play with toys, and do tricks for treats!

She is fostered in a home with cats and doesn't seem bothered by them. Sometimes she wants to play (which is not allowed, cat's preference) but is not aggressive with them.

She has been around very young children a little bit but her puppy energy is too much for small children. Children over age 10 who know how to handle a dog should be ok. She crates well.

If you seriously want a stunning BC pup, this is your girl!

Meet BIG ENERGY Benny the red with the striking blue eyes and precious freckles.

Benny is an active 9-10 month old 40lb neutered male. He is ALL in for love and attention, like 100% this dog loves hard. He has never met a stranger and still believes he should greet you with a bear hug and also should be a lap dog- because why not? A day in the life of Benny: he will wade in the pool but not much of a swimmer.

Next on his agenda: he will chase a ball but might get distracted by something else exciting in the yard.  He likes structure, but not necessarily following the rules (he's a smart one). Like he puts his paws on the counter to get a better vantage point- whatcha doing? He is a vocal guy- barks to come inside if you accidentally leave him outside to potty too long, barks when let out of the crate because he's excited to see you, barks when put in the crate, play barks with his foster dog family.

He is not a watch dog, however, because he wouldn't dare bark at the delivery guy unless the other dogs convince him to do so.  Remember he just wants to give that guy a hug. Benny is completely housebroken, chooses toys over furniture but might carry around a shoe if left out. This guy has done great with his crate training. He crates when left alone and may bark a little but a chew bone keeps him busy.

He sleeps up to 11 hours in a crate in the room with his human and dog family. Benny walks great on a leash after he shakes out the first minute of excitement for going on a walk.

His exhuberance for life might be a bit overwelming for younger kids or cats- so we recommend that his fur-ever home has experienced dog owners. Benny currently loves playing with the younger dog in his foster home (respects boundaries of the senior dogs) and would love a playmate who matches his energy.  What does that look like? Well right now its octane levels of chase through the yard and house where he might scale some furniture, then hit the floor with bitey face wrestlemania, toss a hard bone in the air for attention and then crash out at your feet when done.

So you might ask- does BIG ENERGY Benny have an off switch? Yes! He loves to snuggle up on the couch (or your feet) after he burns off his desire for action.  He will put his head in your lap for an entire first half of a football game just to be with his people.

If you are thinking about bringing Benny into your family here's what we would love for you to consider: Are you ready to implement obedience training to streamline his puppy behavior (jumping, paws on counter)? Are you willing to have slow introductions with a pet at home to ensure they enjoy each others energy? Are you able to spend time daily with activity, social and mental interaction to help him thrive? If this in-your-face ridiculously handsome boy is calling your name then it's time to submit an application so Benny can run into the arms of his forever family. I mean, his picture on your holiday cards is screaming AWWEEE.

Benny is currently fostered in the DFW metroplex and will require a meet and greet.

MEET BURK - THE SWEETEST GENTLEMAN YOU'LL EVER MEET

FROM HIS FOSTER MOM:

In my 70+ years I have never met a Dog as SWEET and as EAGER  to please as Burke.  He is about 6 years old, neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and about 40 pounds. He LOVES people and other dogs (not tested with cats) and he is wonderful with children.  He greatest joy is just to be petted loved and loved and loved.  Burke kennels well; sleeps in his kennel in my bedroom--though I leave him out during the day when I am not home.  He walks nicely on the leash though if something interests him (especially a good smelling bush or fire hydrant) he will pull to get there but that is getting much better.

 

FROM BURKE:

I will love you and follow you everywhere, I will be you best friend and travel buddy! (I love to ride in a truck, car, golf cart as long as I am with you)...I am done with herding -no more heavy work for me - but I do LOVE long walks and hikes.   Mostly, I want to be with you: to rest beside you during a good movie or football game, feeling your hand on my head.

I am a GORGEOUS Border Collie--Handsome, gentle, and loyal.  You'll get all the beauty and devotion of this breed, without the intensity of a youngster.   The only thing I want in return is your love.
