Border Collie and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Wheeling, Illinois

Freddie is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet him during open hours!

Freddie's sisters, Venus and Serena, arrived together to Heartland from Kentucky a few weeks ago, and as soon as we had room, we knew we wanted Freddie too! Venus was adopted, but Freddie and Serena had the sweetest reunion and are now kennel mates!

Since their arrival, they've all been melting hearts left and right. While Freddie loves wrestling and playing with Serena, he is also discovering how much he enjoys human attention, belly rubs, and being told he's the cutest boy around (which he absolutely is).

Freddie is quiet and well mannered on a leash, but he's still young and learning about the world, so he'd thrive with a family ready to help him build confidence, continue training, and spoil him with adventures and snacks. Freddie would make an amazing companion for someone looking for a playful buddy who can also settle in for cuddles after a fun day.

Stunning good looks. Puppy-dog heart. Endless love to give.

Come meet Freddie soon, he's got his socks on and he's ready to start the rest of his life with you!

Freddie's adoption fee is $300. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

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.
