Border Collie and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Available 09/22/2025

This is Burton Guster or Gus for short. He was found out in Burton, but no one came forward so we are now looking for his forever home! He is a very sweet boy. He loves people and he is good with some dogs, but not intact males. He needs a home that does not have chickens as he will chase, with training that can be broken but we want to be up front about it. He is a very smart and we think that might be from the collie mix. We do not know how he is with cats. If you are interested come into the shelter and meet him.

Inquiries are on a first come first serve basis if you are interested in adoption feel free to stop by, call us, or send us a message.

The Border Collie is a highly intelligent and energetic dog breed known for their herding capabilities and exceptional obedience. Originating from the border regions of Scotland and England, these agile and versatile dogs are famous for their focus, stamina, and trainability. With their striking black and white coat and intense gaze, Border Collies excel in various canine sports and activities, making them ideal companions for active families and individuals seeking a loyal and dynamic pet.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
