Pam is Wiggles' foster mom and has been in teaching mode since the pup arrived.  The pup had been at a municipal shelter and was quite frightened.  (No kidding!)  In a brief time, Wiggles has learned to be housebroken and to interact beautifully with 2 rough Collies and a squirrelly little Sheltie person.  She loves the car that will take her to her next adventure.  And she loves humans.  Border Collie experience may be helpful but patience and kindness are the most important traits.  Borders are so very different from the rough Collies we are used to and place every day.  Border Collies are ultra sensitive and must be treated gently.  Pam will be helping to screen the applications for Little Wiggle Butt.  What Pam says, goes!

"My foster mom calls me Lady and sometimes Ladybug. 

I’m a sweet little puppy. I get along great with my foster family of 3 dogs and 4 cats. 

I don’t eat furniture, or electric cords or shoes. 

I’m housebroken so long as I don’t have to wait too long for you to let me out in the morning. Right now I go bedtime potty at 9:30 and morning potty at 5:30. I haven’t had any accidents inside with this schedule. 

I'm great walking on the leash and will be happy to go on many walks with you. 

I’m pretty good with the kitties, but if they run I’ll give chase. If they smack me I’m surprised, but I don’t get mad. 

I love to follow my foster mom around and sit on her feet when she stops moving! 

I’m usually quiet, but I do bark at the horses and the big bull moose in the backyard. He needs to be barked at because he’s always reaching over the fence to eat the apple trees and I need to tell that moose NO! 

I like meeting people. I get really excited and sometimes I tinkle or I jump up on them. I’m still working on my manners… 

I’d really like you to be my forever family. 

I want to spend the rest of my life creating loving memories with you. Please consider sharing your home and happiness with me."

Please read over our requirements for adoption. We hate to disappoint people but, with us, it is doggies first! Securely fenced yard, great reference from your Veterinarian, interview with our Director and lots of love to give. Put it all together and it spells SUCCESS.

Please begin the process for adoption by reading our Adoption Policies and, if we sound like the right group for you, fill out our online Adoption Application. From there, our receipt of your completed application will be confirmed by email. You then will receive a follow-up phone call if we feel you are a good potential applicant for the dog. Lots of good conversation with the foster family, a reference from your veterinarian, and a home visit round out the screening process. We take dog adoption very seriously.  Please put a lot of thought into why you want to adopt a dog, and help us make a good match for your family. We appreciate your taking the time to visit with us. We will look forward to hearing from you as well.
