Springing the Border Collie

Jeff and our friend Kenny did a transport today for the border collie rescue that we volunteer with. Western Border Collie Rescue is bringing this little guy into foster care so that he can get healthy and find a forever home. He is about 1-2 years old and VERY skinny. He weighed in at a whopping 21 lbs at the shelter. But what he lacks in size he makes up for in personality!! I mean, c'mon-just look at this face!



He is a teeny little thing. About the size of Rockstar, but being only 21lbs he seems like a puppy!

He has plenty of what Jeff calls 'puppy spunk.' (The shelter estimated him at 3-4 years old, but Jeff and his new foster mom are thinking more like 1.) This is little Blaine before he escaped from his leash and bolted across a field. Luckily Jeff and Kenny caught him and got him to his new foster home safe and sound. Apparently he doesn't like cars. In fact, he is terrified to even be near one. :(

Luckily-he likes ear scratches and belly rubs!

And LOOK! He already is doing tricks! Freaking adorable!

He wants out of that shelter BAD. You can see it in this face. And Jeff couldn't wait to get this boy out of there.
