Cody

I have a wonderful tricolor Border Collie/Aussie dog named Cody. He is a year old, very well mannered, house broken, up to date on his vaccinations and well socialized. He is such a well natured guy and we hate to give him up. It is extreemly difficult to admit to anyone that we need help at this point in our lives, but like many, we have fallen on hard times and have tried to hold on to our lives. We feel that since he is only a year old he has a great future with someone who appreciates his beauty and good nature, and can spend time with him and enjoy him. He is good around cats, kids, and other dogs. I have done some obediance training and Cody walks so nicely on his leash and looks up to me for direction. Someone who has time and knowledge to enjoy this dog will be so blessed with him. This has been a hard decision for us, but the reality is a harsh one. I wish there were an agency or person to help me figure some other things out. For now though, if I could get Cody a good home and a safe place with someone who is capable I would feel very comfortable and relieved. Any help you can give us and Cody will be greatly appreciated.

Blue

This is Blue,I did not get him from the shleter.I rescued him from the Habersham Co streets.All my dogs are neutered,spayed,utd on shots on on heart guard.

Blue is wonderful and very very loyal.He just needs a home where he is a part of a family and not just another dog.He has not been around children but i would think that he would be great. he ignores the cat .He is a little shy at first...is very timid with the tail going under but is super friendly and everyone that comes to our farm loves him!! He is the one that they all want to take home.

Blue has done two things wrong and never before has he done this.He picked on another male retriever and growled at the vet when she came to do rabies.I have never ever had a probem with him .This is why I am thinking that he would be better with a smaller pack and not so many dogs.I know that he wants alot of attention and he was jealous of the other dog...that is his personality. But he loves his crate,is crate trained and loves to just sit with you.he will follow you in the yard and stay right with you.He swims a little and does enjoy getting the ball away from the others.he is very very happy.The main goal is to get Blue more attention than he is getting on our rescue farm. He is very good at come when called and does not run off.he wants to be with you.

If you are interested in Blue, please contact Karen Grogan 770-364-4004 Cell or 706-212-0228 Office or email: karen.grogan@harrynorman.com

Tess

Located in Jennings, FL

Tess is utd on vaccines and is microchipped. "Tess" is looking for a home. She is a 4 year old spayed Border Collie who was rescued from animal control a year ago. She is super sweet, loves EVERYONE including kids, other dogs AND CATS. She is house broken and crate trained. Will be a lap dog if allowed. She is, however, VERY high drive and chases our horses. She has already been kicked twice, once resulting in a broken leg which has healed fine, but I am afraid for her to be kicked again. I will be very picky about where she goes as she is special to me, she's just not cut out to be a horse farm dog. She will play ball all day and will also chase a frisbee. She loves the water as well.

If you can give Tess a loving home, please contact Linnea at flsporthorse@gmail.com. My phone number is 386-965-8114 (although I prefer contact via email)

Remy

Sex: Spayed Female
DOB: July 2011, 1 year 4 months
Coat: Black and White Smooth Coat
Weight: 24 lbs
Activity Level: High

Remy (ID number A1033906) Remy is a wonderful little dog. She originally was brought into the shelter on June 18th 2012 and was adopted quickly. She was returned August 13th due to an owner issue regarding apartment rules and fees. Remy is an active girl and would be a great walking and hiking partner. She is incredibly athletic and would excel in agility as well as any other dog sport. Remy has been in the Train to Adopt program since she came to the shelter and is advanced in all her skills which include: sit for attention, sit at the door, sit until released for food bowl, leave it, down on a hand signal and verbal cue and how to sit on her mat calmly for affection. Remy is affectionate and social. She loves to snuggle and seeks petting and belly scratches from her person. She is eager, loves to work and loves to train. She has done some beginning nose work and has enjoyed that as well. I have not seen Remy with kids, but have not seen any behavior that would lead me to believe she wouldn't do well with them. Remy can get over stimulated around other dogs due to lack of opportunity to develop social skills. She can settle down and refocus quickly though when her person helps her take breaks and refocus with food throughout play. Remy was recently featured on Charlotte Fox News Rising and handled the cameras and TV set excitement very well.

Remy is healthy and current on all shots. Please contact Karen Owens at kowens1@cmpd.org for more information or come visit Remy at Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Care and Control at 8315 Byrum Dr, Charlotte, NC.
