Oh my GOSH! Why didn't I think of this earlier??
I have a border collie mix foster dog right now! She is actually a hurricane Katrina evacuee. Her owners lost their home in the storm, moved to Houma, but couldn't (actually wouldn't) keep the dogs in their rental trailer. We even offered to foster them long-term until they could find better living arrangements, but they just wanted to find them new homes.
I placed Boo Boo's sister this weekend and have Boo Boo at my house. She is about a year to 1 1/2 old, housebroken, VERY friendly, EXCELLENT in the house - plays a while then lies down when told, chills next to the bed all night. She is completely black with a slight white beard (looks like 5 o'clock shadow), little curls on the ends of her fur - possibly mixed with some spaniel?
Anyway, her only negatives are that when you get out the leash and/or harness, she goes NUTS!! and jumps, etc. so it's hard to get it on - a simple obedience issue. She knows sit and will do it, but is so excited it doesn't last long. At her last foster home, she was getting out of their fence and running around the neighborhood, but they couldn't figure out how she was getting out 'cause none of the other dogs got out. It was chain link so she may have been climbing.
She also still needs to be spayed, but that's included in the adoption fee of $150.00 (plus transportation costs if necessary). If you're interested, I'll get you some pictures.
