Archie – 14 week old male Border Collie


Archie is a 14 week old Border collie. He is going to need a lot of exercise, stimulation and also puppy classes.
Archie has come from a working background. This means he is bred to run for miles everyday. He needs an active home where he is going to be out either walking, running or doing agility classes. We think he would be better with older teenagers.

Archie has been left for long periods of time on his own while his owners have been at work. Therefore he has had very little socialisation, he has been out with six other dogs today and he was fine. He loves playing with Raven the 5month old black Labrador. He does need more house training. He is very quick to learn, and we have had only one wee in the house today and that was on a puppy pad! He is living with cats, but he does like to chase them so would need one that would stand up to him. Archie also needs to learn a few manners where his food is concerned as he has a habit of growling. He still thinks he has to compete for it, as he would’ve done with his siblings.

Archie has been wormed, deflead and had all his vaccinations. He will need neutering when he is old enough.

Dusty – 1 year old male Border Collie


Dusty is a 1 year old male Border Collie who has come into rescue due to his elderly owner becoming too poorly to look after him. Look at this fantastic boy…how intelligent does he look? Dusty has lived as a companion dog and must be really missing his owner and home comforts poor boy. He has a lovely temperament, is extremely friendly and eager to please and could make a fantastic agility dog, or something similar. He could possibly live with another dog and has been living happily with 2 cats. He could live with children aged 8 or older. He could be left for a few hours a day if necessary, travels well and is housetrained.

Dusty is a good all round dog and will make a smashing addition to an active family. Dusty is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and, although at our Centre on the outskirts of King’s Lynn in Norfolk, he can be rehomed outside of the county, within reason, subject to a successful homecheck.

Please can you make Dusty happy again? He would love a couple of good walks a day at the woods or the at the beach and somewhere cosy to sleep it all off please! If you are interested in Dusty please get in touch as soon as possible.

Fergus – 10 month old male Border Collie


My name is Fergus and I am a 10 month old Border Collie. I am almost blind and need a very special home. I am extremely friendly and affectionate and ask constantly for cuddles and reassurance. I walk well on the lead but do bump into things a lot! I can become frightened of noises which I cannot understand. I am wary of other dogs because I cannot see them and I am really looking for a home where I will be the only pet.

I need experienced, patient owners who have lots of time and energy as I am a lively boy! I am lots of fun and will make a wonderful pet to own. I am suitable to live with children over 16.

Diva – 2 year old female Border Collie


Diva is a very pretty, bright-eyed, alert, small-to-medium-sized 2 year old Border Collie, with wavy, feathery fur. At the moment she is very traumatised and frightened in kennels and needs time to adjust, with experienced people working at giving her reassurance. She took treats from us but as soon as this stopped she became very frightened again. She is a beautiful collie, with expressive and quite large, striking eyes. She must have experienced suffering and a very hard life before she was rescued by Dogsfriends.

She absolutely loves playing with the ball on a rope and it was so lovely to see her enjoying herself as a normal, happy, enthusiastic, lively, agile and playful collie – not wanting to stop. She does all the classic Border Collie things with ball and was quite happy to have it taken from her mouth – on those few occasions when she didn’t drop at your feet and push it to you with her nose. She took treats gently, and jumped up for the ball, happy to be near our hands. She was not bothered when she was stroked while she was playing. She will make someone a delightful collie companion. She is quite young still – and her coat looks in good condition. She obviously loves a game and some exercise, and when she gets settled in a good home she would enjoy agility and obedience activities. She is very bright-eyed and alert. She was quite easy to handle on the lead.

Sid – 3 year old male Border Collie


Sid is a 3 year old Border Collie that finds the world a scary place! Sid is fairly confident with people, it is new places he finds scary. He will need a quiet confident home that will be able to bring him out of himself and let him settle in at his pace. Sid needs to live with another confident dog that will show him the reins, he does prefer the ladies as he likes to follow them around! (He shares a kennel with Myer and loves her) Once his confidence has been built up he will be an active collie that will need lots of exercise and stimulation. Sid is quite a cuddly boy that looks for reassurance off of people, but new owners shouldn’t baby him as he will never get his confidence!

Sid is looking for people that already have a dog in the home that can give him confidence, and a quiet one, with children 12 and upwards as he is scared by full on handling, but once confident he would love to play with them.

Sid is neutered, fully vaccinated and neutered. Please consider him and get in touch today!

Bobby – 4 year old male Border Collie


Bobby is a 4 year old beautiful Border Bollie. He has previously not had a very good life and when we first took him on his coat was extremely matted. His ears were stuck to his body and his legs were just a mass of solid fur.

We have worked our way through these and found underneath a delightful dog. Bobby is quite nervous until he gets to know you then he loves his cuddles and will run to you for fussing. He walks nicely on his lead, he isnt sure of traffic and although he doesnt cower or try to run away he doesnt understand cars.

Bobby does need a previous collie owner or a family prepared to work with his nervousness and continue to uncover the affectionate loving dog we have now started to see. Bobby will also ‘guard’ bones although he will ‘trade’ them. We are continuing to work with this whilst he is with us.

Due to this we would not home Bobby to a family with young children. As Bobby has a background of neglect we also would not home him with another dog. He is a delightful dog, who has really come out of his shell since his coat has been cut and he is walked daily.
