A very, very, very, very cute black and white border collie, about four months old. It was windy and snowing and she was crouched in the middle of the street. No collar, of course. I can’t keep her because we have three dogs. Please think good “finding owner or new owner” thoughts for me. Puppy is in a big kennel in the basement while the other dogs do random “what are you doing in my house?!” barking at the door. ---

I have local contacts in rescue through my wife. You may not be nearby, but if you are I can help. Or use the e-mail in my profile. ---

[/QUOTE] On the Ohio/PA border about 75 miles from Pittsburgh. Any help appreciated, I’m happy to deliver the puppy to a responsible person/organization within a day’s drive if I don’t find the owner. ---

[/QUOTE] Try [Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue](http://www.mabcr.org/) - they may not be all that close, but my experience with breed rescue groups is that they will travel to make sure a dog has a safe haven. ---

I’m much too far away to offer actual assistance, but I’ll add “good wishes” thoughts in this slow traffic time. So sayeth garygnu, three-dog-owner ---

Awww, I wish you good luck in finding its owner. And I know this isn’t your puppy or anything, but he/she sounds so cute. Pic? ---

Attempting first photo upload to SDMB . . . This isn’t the puppy, but she is identical to this little guy [![](https://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s210/Jennshark/bordercollie_001.jpg) ](https://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s210/Jennshark/bordercollie_001.jpg) ---

That’s a cute pup. Did you have her checked for a chip? ---

[QUOTE=Kalhoun] That’s a cute pup. Did you have her checked for a chip? [/QUOTE] I’m going to the vet tomorrow to have her scanned and check the lost announcements. I live in a rural area where people tend to have a lot of “backyard dogs” that they like but don’t necessarily take very good care of (as in, put collars with IDs on them, much less chip 'em). ---
