Great office companion.- just sleeps or stays quiet while you work or conducting a meeting.
Has some separation anxiety when left alone too long by himself (barking) & would be best in a home where either 1) there's another dog (he does much better with the company), 2) the person works from home or is not away for more than 3-4 hours, or 3) someone willing to work with him on it

Reuben

House trained and crate trained (likes a large crate)
He was found with a chain dragging behind him, so he was likely very neglected in his previous "home"
Enjoys the company of people and wants everyone he meets to like him
Learning temperance with other dogs, he was often "coming on strong" when engaging new dogs on walks or at the park, fortunately he's very responsive to training and is learning the ropes. His play style suggests he'd be good working with sheep but he doesn't have the habit of trying to herd everyone that's in disarray around him.
"Not just a dog, a Border Collie" is fitting in Reuben's case.
Moderate exercise needs
He's got the smarts, the athleticism and the sweet soulful nature that those that love in this breed would appreciate in him.

He was picked up by Animal Control running in the middle of the road with a chain dragging behind him.

He's great with kids, great in the car, and sleeps throughout the night in his crate without a peep. He's a little shy around other dogs, but his foster thinks that could be easily fixed over time.

Gets along great with other dogs (loves the dog park)
Sleeps the whole night in her crate without making a sound
Watches you for cues (will probably be quite trainable)
Likes to give kisses
Fine meeting strangers -- friendly with everyone she's met so far
Has done great with the two kids (ages 5 and 8) living on the property
