Solar Lodge Kennels Shelter (Berkshire Park, NSW)

Breed: Border Collie Cross
Gender: Male
Name: "Ewan"
Age: 5 years
Desexed: YES
Shelter Notes: What a beautiful boy Ewan is. Dignified and at pains to always do the right thing and devastated if he thinks he hasn't. Ewan is a very gentle soul and he would thrive in a home with a settled family where he can be treated with the respect and love he deserves. This super intelligent boy was originally a pet shop pup, probably bought on impulse and dropped off at the pound when he no longer suited the family for whatever reason; but nothing that this beautiful natured boy has contributed to. When he was surrendered to the pound he was terribly underweight, which he is gradually making up for. Ewan appears to have had some training and will heel, sit and drop and will walk beautifully on a lead. Ewan is currently in kennels and is finding this environment stressful and a home of his own would be ideal for this stately gentleman.

Breed: Border Collie Cross
Gender: Female
Name: "Cleo"
Age: 3 years
Desexed: YES
Shelter Notes: Cleo is predominately Border Collie and has that lovely intelligent disposition of a BC. She is bright, friendly... a lover of all things. She loves playing with a ball without being obsessed. She walks well on a lead is a lovely calm girl, but like all working breeds, she needs a place to run or have regular exercise. She would be best suited as an only dog and a home with older children. Beautiful Cleo has been in a kennel waiting for a home for months and it is begining to affect her stress levels. We hope that this lovely girl will find a home soon.
