LAYLA -- Layla has spent way too much time in a crate. She's more than ready to do what herding dogs do best! At 2 years old, this sweet girl is a happy, active 39 pound ball of energy.

Layla has been spayed and is up to date on vaccines. She's not at all picky about her food, she loves her toys and treats, a ride in the car is always fun but chasing a ball is Christmas morning with each and every toss!

Layla has had little training but she learns quickly. Her house manners are excellent, she chews her toys but nothing else. She's totally house trained and will go to her potty place the minute she goes outside! She sleeps in her crate but does not enjoy being in there during the day. I think it's probably because she spent too much time there and it's an unhappy place for her.

She enjoys being near her human, doesn't seem to care if she's with the other dogs or cats. She definitely does not want the other dogs near her toys! And when she's unhappy about a situation, she doesn't hesitate to use her voice!!

Layla will be adopted to Maine or New Hampshire and only to a family who is familiar with the herding breed. A home visit will be necessary. For more information - coastaldanes@gmail.com or 207 729-0679.

AKIRA -- Akira was born approx 7/5/2010. She is a Border Staff or a Border Collie/ AM Staff cross. She is spayed and micro chipped and about 40 lbs. She is crate trained and living in a home with 5 other dog and children.

Akira was rescued from the south as a pup, but it turned into a hoarding situation and she spent the first eight months of her life in a crate. She was rescued from there and brought to a shelter where the volunteers worked with her to teach her what simple thing like grass was.

After a while she was adopted but on the way to her new home she got out of the car on the NYS Thruway. The volunteers from the shelter hung posters and checked the area everyday. They kept receiving calls saying she was eating road kill right on the side of the Thruway! After 34 days she finally was trapped and brought back to the shelter. Now she was scared more than ever!

One of the volunteers grew very close and in fear of her not being adopted she adopted her herself. But the story doesn't end there because now that volunteer's situation changed and she could no longer keep her.

Akira is a soft, sweet, quiet girl. She is shy and takes just a little bit warm up to you, but once she does, she is full of life and very playful. She loves other dogs and children. She has so much potential and learns easily. She is currently in am Agility Foundation Class at Sugar Bush Farm with Kathy Chittenden and she is also sponsored and taking Cyd's Cross Canine Good Citizen's class. Now all she needs is a loving forever home.

ELPHIE -- Elphie is a 3.5 month old border collie mix. We rescued her from a shelter when she was approximately 8 weeks old and she is up to date on all vaccinations. We love her dearly, but three of our family members are severely allergic to her, so we need to find her a new home.

She is a typical curious, playful puppy. She loves to run in our yard and will play fetch with the frisbee for hours. She has lots of fun playing with our older dog and is learning to be gentle around our children (ages 4 & 6).

has been attending obedience training and knows how to sit, lay down and target to a hand. She is crate trained and mostly housebroken, with an occasional accident.

We are looking for a loving home for her that will continue her training. Our trainer believes she will be an excellent agility or fly ball dog, so someone interested in training her for either activity would be ideal.

Elphie would be happiest in a family that will take her outside on walks, runs or to play and then bring her in to cuddle - she loves to lay on our feet and cuddle in our laps. She will need a home with no allergies or asthma, as she seems to trigger both.

If you would like to learn more about our girlÊor think you might be theÊright home for her, please contact Kelly at k_mcgurk@hotmail.com or 860-372-8887.
