Dash's Story

Meet Dash! This smart, curious, and fun-loving Border Collie-Aussie mix is bursting with personality and energy. Around 3 years old and weighing 39 pounds, Dash is always up for an adventure—whether it's a game of fetch, a walk around the neighborhood, or exploring new sights and smells. Highly trainable and eager to please, Dash thrives with clear guidance and regular exercise. He’s the kind of dog who loves having a job to do and feels most at ease when he knows the rules. Without structure, his natural herding instincts can take over—but with the right leadership and sufficient exercise, Dash is happy to follow your lead and relax. Dash is great with other dogs and enjoys fast-paced, active play. He’d do well in a home with another playful pup, active adults, or older teens who can help him channel his energy in a positive way. Due to his herding nature and need for structure, he’s not a fit for young children. A fenced yard is a must for this energetic boy, and he’d be a great match for someone familiar with herding breeds who’s ready to outsmart and outplay him—no small challenge! But for the right person, Dash will be an endlessly loyal, entertaining, and loving companion. Ready to meet your match? Apply to meet Dash at redbarnrescue.com!

Red Barn Rescue's Adoption Policy

All dogs in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated (including Rabies when age-appropriate), heartworm tested, and kept on heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Many dogs also receive dental care, heartworm treatment, or other medical procedures as needed. Prospective adopters must complete an adoption application and receive approval before meeting a dog. Applicants must list all current pets, and those pets must be spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. A home visit may be required as part of our approval process. Once approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet with your family, including current dogs. Adopters are responsible for ongoing veterinary care, keeping their pets up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and maintaining a safe, responsible home. If you are looking for a specific type or breed, you may submit an application and note your preferences for future consideration. Our adoption fee reflects the medical care and resources invested in preparing each dog for a healthy start. If an adopter can no longer care for their dog, the dog must be returned to Red Barn Rescue as stated in our contract.
