Breed: Border Collie Cross
Gender: Female & Male
Name: "Zoe" & "Zac"
Age: 18 months
Desexed: YES
Shelter Notes: Zoe and Zac are brother and sister and both are a beautiful pair of gentle souls. When they first arrived, it was clear that both dogs had had little interaction with people. Over the time they have been here, both dogs have blossomed and where they once sought to stay as far away from people as possible (although always gentle, just scared), they now actively seek out attention. They love cuddles and pats but they are always gentle, polite and very mindful of trying to do the right thing. Zoe and Zac are wonderful to watch as they play gently together. Both dogs love to play with other well mannered dogs too. Zoe is on the small size for a Border Collie and would be below the knee in height. Zac is slightly taller than his sister and he is about normal BC height.

I'm a Golden Oldie
Breed: Border Collie
Gender: Female
Name: "Ebby"
Age: 10 years
Desexed: YES
Shelter Notes: Beautiful Ebby has had such an awful existence for virtually her whole ten years, but her luck began to change when she was confiscated by rangers and taken to the pound. For the first 10 years of her life she was made to live under a house on her own. She was riddled with fleas, malnourished, had badly infected eyes and fly-bitten ears. The muscles in her rear legs and rear end had atrophied and she had a calloused "baboon" type bottom caused from years of sitting on hard surfaces. She also had a hunched back and had difficulty controlling her rear end when she walked - almost as though she had been dragging herself around by her muscled front end for some time. When she arrived at the pound, the carers worked wonders and controlled Ebby's fleas, her infection and she gained weight. Some physical scars still remained for Ebby but they had started to repair. As at August 2010, with good food, diligence in her care from shelter staff and some long forgotten TLC, little Ebby has made a remarkable recovery. The atrophied muscles in her rear-end have developed and her calloused bottom has hair growing on one side. The transformation from an odd-gaited girl who had so little ability to walk properly into a girl who has virtually normal muscle tone and movement has been amazing. She continues to improve with exercise and she now runs and jumps, something she was unable to do when she first arrived at the shelter. Ebby is such a determined little girl who is thoroughly enjoying exploring the world and being able to move around and enjoy life generally. She still has arthritis but this is comfortably addressed with daily medication that she will need to take for the rest of her life. Ebby is a gentle, sensible little soul who would make a loyal companion and she would love to receive the cuddles and companionship she has been missed out on in her first 10 years.

Shelter Notes: Emily is such a gentle soul. Very sweet and eager to please and she is very affectionate. She has a lovely short, easy care coat with chocolate brown highlights.

She's slightly taller than the average BC, is in good physical condition and she would do well with a daily walk, but she would also enjoy relaxing quietly with her family.
