Hello, I’m Bobby! I’m a 5 year old tri coloured Border Collie. I came into care because my previous owner couldn’t give me enough time due to work. I had a 7-week stay with another family, but it didn’t quite work out as I got a bit defensive with the lady of the house when she tried to correct me but when dad was around I felt much happier around her.
I’m a friendly guy when meeting people, I am housetrained, happy to be left alone for a few hours, and I travel well. I can be a little unsure around other dogs at first and often bark but once introduced correctly I can be ok but I may not live with others. I do have a bit of a chase instinct when it comes to cats.
I’m looking for a patient and understanding family who can help me feel confident and loved.

Hi everyone my name is Toffee and I am 4yrs old. My life before arriving at BCT wasn't the best as I spent most of my time locked away in a shed. I then went to live with a new family who had two other dogs and whilst i interacted well with the female dog I just wasn't compatible with the other male dog and we did end up in two altercations so sadly my owner returned me to kennels, I feel very sad as i really loved my humans and enjoyed nothing more than curling up on the sofa next to them.
I am housetrained, I'm good being left alone and travel well. I know i don't really look like a border collie but please don't over look me as I have lots of love to give.

Charles
Male 2 years
PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON HOW DO I ADOPT PAGE BEFORE CONTACTING US - Thank you. YOU WILL NEED TO TRAVEL TO OUR CENTRE WHICH IS BASED IN STAFFORDSHIRE.
Charles is 2yrs old he came into our care from Romania where he was rescued from a high kill shelter.
Although he has been in our care for 4 months we still haven't been able to build his confidence enough for him to allow us to touch him. He will happily approach us and take treats but is still worried by close contact.
He loves spending time outdoors and will happily approach visitors that pass by and will take food from them but again backs away from any contact.
He is wary around other dogs but has spent time with those that are calm and gentle around him.
Charles is very much a project dog so will require a special type of person who can allow him all the time he requires to gain trust in people. He would be better suited to a quiet home environment where he can have access to a secure outdoor area.
He is crate trained and if he was lucky enough to find a home he would need to travel home in a crate (provided) so he can be lifted in/out of a vehicle without getting too stressed, this would also be beneficial within the home as his safe space.

Joey
Male 2 years
PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON HOW DO I ADOPT PAGE BEFORE CONTACTING US - Thank you. YOU WILL NEED TO TRAVEL TO OUR CENTRE WHICH IS BASED IN STAFFORDSHIRE.
Joey is almost 3 yrs old and has been neutered. He came into our care from Romania where he had spent his life in a foster sanctuary amongst several other dogs in a very rural area.
Joey has lived a very sheltered life and the concept of venturing out into the big wide world is a worrying one for him. Joey will need a lot of support transitioning into a home but with patience and understanding we feel that Joey is now ready to take that step.
He really likes the safety of his kennel and is often found curled up resting in his bed, Joey will venture out for walks with staff that he feels comfortable with but he still needs some encouragement at times.
He’s not forthcoming with interactions and will likely avoid people where possible. He’s still very anxious and would benefit from a stable routine where his expectations are met on a daily basis.
He needs a very quiet and calm home environment with minimal visitors. Joey would gain a lot of confidence from living with another dog although it is not essential.
Joey will likely need at least 2-3 visits before going into a home.

Jesse
Male 2 years
PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON HOW DO I ADOPT PAGE BEFORE CONTACTING US - Thank you. YOU WILL NEED TO TRAVEL TO OUR CENTRE WHICH IS BASED IN STAFFORDSHIRE.
Jesse is almost 3 yrs old and has been neutered. He came into our care from Romania where he had spent his life in a foster sanctuary amongst several other dogs in a very rural area.
Jesse was very anxious when he arrived with us but over time he has flourished into a charismatic and entertaining boy.
Jesse gets very excited to go out for walks, although this hasn’t always been the case and it’s likely once he goes to a new home he will regress in terms of confidence. He still shows worry around unknown people, new experiences and some dogs. Jesse will need time and patience in his new home to build trust and feel confident enough to show his true colours and personality.
Jesse can be vocal and alarm bark at some external stimuli that he feels fearful of and is likely to do this in the home when he experiences all the new things that a home has to offer (e.g hoover, washing machine)
He would benefit from a very quiet and calm home environment with minimal visitors. Jesse would gain a lot of confidence from living with another dog although it is not essential.
He will likely need at least 2-3 visits before going into a home.

Shep
Male 8 years
PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON HOW DO I ADOPT PAGE BEFORE CONTACTING US - Thank you. YOU WILL NEED TO TRAVEL TO OUR CENTRE WHICH IS BASED IN STAFFORDSHIRE.
Shep is 8yrs old but hasn't been neutered. He came into our care as his owner was no longer able to care for him due to ill health.
He is a little shy around people and would be better suited to a quiet home without young children. An owner that has some understanding of how to read a dogs body language and understands canine calming signals would be beneficial. He is also wary around other dogs so will need introducing gradually to others so he doesn't feel threatened.
Shep is housetrained, travels well and enjoys playing with toys. He hasn't really been left alone much so this will need to be built up over time.

Zen has a history of a suspected inflammatory/neurological condition (MUO), for which he received specialist veterinary care and steroid treatment.
