This is Bones the Border Collie. He & Bear are brothers coming from a not so good situation. They did not have enough to eat. As a result Bones is 35lbs & should weigh about 10 more lbs. Bones is almost 12 months old. He loves people & wants to please. We don’t know too much about these brothers except that they want to belong & be a part of the family. They were isolated for too long so all experiences are new for them. If you would like to be a part of their happy beginning please apply to adopt. Bones is currently located in Billings, MT.
Special Dogs with Special Needs
Dash
Cheyenne WY
Dash is a young Australian Cattle Dog about 2 years old at 30 pounds. We are looking for a very special foster or adopter who can help Dash socialize and learn good experiences with people. When handled he is submissive and shows no aggression.. Dash will need to stay in very close quarters with his human and learn trust. This young boy has tons of potential. He is neutered, fully vetted and house trained. If you can help us with Dash please let us know.

MAVIS
COURTESY LISTING
|
|
|
|
Mavis is a 3 year old, spayed Hungarian import Beauceron. She is good with most dogs, and very good with people – loves children but can be pretty enthusiastic so probably would be too much for young children.
Mavis was ranked #1 in NADD dock diving her first year of jumping and was invited to participate in the Eukanuba Dock Diving Championships in Orlando – unfortunately we were unable to go. She is registered with UKC and has titled in UKC nosework and UKC dock dogs. She finished her UKC Senior Dock Dogs Championship last summer with limited jumping.
Mavis has worked sheep a few times – she does not bite or scare the sheep and has a nice fetch but we have not been able to get to training very often because it is a long drive to the trainers.
Mavis has an excellent recall – and in fact will call of deer and rabbits when we are out hiking. Mavis gets along with most of the household dogs, but has decided she doesn’t like one of the older Australian Shepherds. For this reason she is looking for a new home where she can be less confined. She needs to be an only dog, but would be fine to work around other dogs as she is not dog aggressive. Experienced handler only and preferably someone who will mostly work from home or is retired so she is not left alone too much. She has never been alone for long periods so I don’t know how she will be. She needs to go to someone who will use her talents and enjoy working with her and has an active lifestyle. I want to make sure that she is placed where she will be happy and if it doesn’t work out, I specifically want her back and whomever takes her needs to help get her back to me.
She is registered with the Hungarian Kennel Club and is eligible for AKC registry if that matters. I didn’t register her with AKC because I don’t do AKC events except for Dock diving and she has a NADD number.
If you are interested in Mavis, please email dogsetc@vcn.com.

Joey
Adoption Pending
Sheridan, WY

|
|
Joey is about 14-16 weeks old. Pepper is his mama & we think his daddy may have been a Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog). He will be smaller, like his mama. Joey has short legs. He is sweet & playful. He is shy when meeting new people but when he warms up then you are truly a friend. Joey is active but not over the top. He will do best in a home that is active & will include him in the family activities. When we place puppies we always recommend they go through a puppy kindergarten class. Joey is in a foster home in Sheridan, WY.
