  Adopting a Border Collie
(Where do they come from, and how can I adopt one?)

They call me Mr. Murphy. Now, how could anyone resist such an adorable face? I was picked up with my brother by a nice couple while they were on vacation. We had been hanging around the park for a couple of weeks. The park ranger said we probably were dumped off. So we wouldn't get hit on the road, they took us to the local dog pound only to find out it was a barn with cages where we would be held for 72 hours for our owners to come claim us. Yeah right, like anyone was coming looking for us! We would then be put to sleep because no one comes there to adopt dogs. That meant by Monday morning we were going to be in big trouble! Marlene, our new friend frantically worked all weekend to find us a rescue or no-kill shelter. Everyone was full. Oh dear. She called Buckeye BC Rescue & explained that we were such very nice little guys. They were full also, but our new friend offered to hold us a couple of days when space would open. Marlene appeared right away on Monday morning & bailed us out! Whew! That was close!!! We had a grand time on the car ride to rescue. I am in a foster home learning everything I need to know to be a great companion dog & my brother is in prison learning the same thing. My foster Mom & Dad just adore me! Mom says I am quite clever & smart! Dad & I are the best cuddle buddies!!! He couldn't resist letting me curl up next to him to watch our favorite TV programs & eat our popcorn! It's an evening ritual! I'm just a light-weight for a BC boy, too! So, I don't take up too much room! Because I'm a little unsure sometimes, I need to live with someone with experience with shy dogs & help me build my confidence.   I should not go to a home with children.
