karen Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 We live in the Aude area and are looking to give a loving home for a young black and white collie (long hair) for a companion to our playful 11year old border collie, who is just the right age to teach a youngster right from wrong. We live on a large plot of land (8 hectares) ideal for a young collie with lots of energy to burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Have you looked at Phoenix Assoication or Poorpaws. they are not in your area but they know about the dogs they offer for re-homing and often have contacts in other areas. The lady who volunteers at the Spa at Carcassonne is away in the UK right now but can't help feeling there is bound to be something there that fits the bill as there are so many collie types there.

val douest Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 There is a beautiful longhaired black and white border collie on the SPA site at Millau in Aveyronhttp://www.spa.asso.fr/Animaux/EZZI/TPL_CODE/TPL_ANIMAUX/PAR_TPL_IDENTIFIANT/38600/3-adoptions-animaux.htm He's called Ezzi and he's two years old.Hope you find a dog that suits you and fingers crossed it is one in desperate need of a home. Border collies really flourish in the sort of space you have to offer and with a friend and mentor already there and waiting what more could a young dog ask!Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Oh yes - he looks just the ticket - well spotted Val. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 There is also Belle - four year old border collie who is up for adoption on Poorpaws - first on the page. She is no good with cats but great with children. http://www.poorpaws.com/adoption.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Here's another, SPA Carcassonne, Dina born 15.3.08 on this page http://spacarcassonne.e-monsite.com/rubrique,chiens-moyens-1,90630.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Belle at Poorpaws is still available - have just got email from her foster carer saying following about her ....Belle sera gentille avec les enfants,elle a l'habitude (j'ai deux filles de 8 et 10 ans) et elle adore être avec les enfants. Si la dame a un jardin c'est encore mieux! Mais si il y a des promenades c'est déjà bien.Je suis d'accord . Et je pense que les enfants adoreront Belle. Elle est trés gentille.Cordialement,CathyThe dog above at Carcassonne is probably the nearest to you, then Millau, then Poorpaws. The advantage of Poorpaws is that Belle is with a foster family and therefore a known quantity - also Sue at Poorpaws take dogs from Carcassonne as regularly as she can to help ease the load there. She tells me there are also some colli x puppies up for adoption that she knows of. I have taken three dogs from Carcassonne recently and they have all been lovely dogs, albeit they need a little while to settle in obviously. Hope one of these is lucky enough to take your fancy! Please let us know. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jouals Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Are you still looking? The Refuge at Cahors has just received a very young border collie - retrieved from an unsuitable owner who re-homed it as a puppy in February. I can get some more information and photos of if you are interested?? (Merlin - we have been in touch about this one.)Jouals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
