Border Collie and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Say hello to Benny, a happy-go-lucky 4 year old Border Collie with a heart as big as his smile! Benny is the perfect mix of sweet, smart, and playful, always ready for a walk with friends or a cuddle on the couch after a fun day.

This handsome boy is a true social butterfly — he loves people. Benny is affectionate and loves to be near his people. He loves to be pet and gently jumps on people to give hugs. His expressive eyes and wagging tail say it all — he just wants to love and be loved.

Benny is the perfect mix of calm and energetic. He gets excited to go on adventures and loves meeting new people but he also enjoys some cuddles on the couch. He is easygoing and happy to just be around people and get pets.

Benny is smart and seems excited to learn commands and tricks. He picked up sit and paw in the first day! He is extremely treat-motivated and takes treats gently. Benny is potty trained and hasn't had a single accident in his foster home! He is also already kennel trained and would not mind a home with someone that works outside of the home. He rests perfectly in his kennel while his foster is away.

Although Benny was found with another dog and has had multiple successful meet and greets with other dogs, Benny does seem to be selective with new doggie friends and a home without other pets would be ideal. He is able to be walked near other dogs, and is even currently being fostered with multiple dogs, but seems to be fearful when other dogs are in his face. He is frequently walked with and around other dogs as we work through his fear and show him that he no longer has to be scared of being hurt.

Benny is an easygoing, happy boy that just wants someone to love.

Dreaming of Furever Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue that adopts cats and dogs from South Texas to the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, and the East Coast. The adoption process consists of an application, reference checks, phone interview, and video chat with the pet and foster parent!

We are volunteers with a passion to reduce the stray population and unnecessary euthanasia in South Texas. According to Shelter Animals Count, an almost 100,000 cats and dogs were euthanized in Texas shelters in 2024. By transporting our adoptable pets to areas with fewer unwanted pets, they have a better chance of quickly finding loving homes, while also freeing up space in Texas shelters and giving more local animals a chance at life.
