Notes:
Meg is a 1 1/2 year old female tri color border collie. She is a very active, young girl and needs to go to a home that can give her plenty of things to do. Meg is timid of loud noises (fireworks, loud trucks). She is good with other dogs once she is comfortable with them, and seems to warm up to male dogs quicker than female dogs. Meg is fine with the cat in her foster home, but she will take a lot of training in a new home to learn to leave cats alone, so we would like to place her in a home without cats.
Meg recently had a chance to work sheep and she did very well. She has a nice, natural balance, she takes change of direction well and she stayed off the sheep when flanking. She did not respond to any common commands, so it doesn't appear that she has been formally trained at all. She patiently waited her turn to work, but didn't take her eye off of the stock at all while waiting.
Meg knows 'sit', 'crate', 'easy', and 'come', and she is learning more and more things every day. She is crate trained and housebroken. She was a leash puller, but now knows not to do that, she has also learned not to bolt out doors if given the chance. Meg loves the car and will jump in if the door is open. She is athletic and very fast and likes to play with toys - she also likes to de-squeak toys if given the chance. When she first came into rescue she was slightly nervous in the house, now she settles nicely and will sleep or chew a bone until the next activity comes along.

Border collies are very smart, loving dogs and like to be entertained. I think it's great that you are considering adopting - so many animals need loving homes.
Just make sure you're ready for the responsibility - dogs can live a very long time and aren't always fun... they are hard work.

They are an awesome breed. My only concern would be that are you really ready to get an animal? I'm not questioning your abilities, don't get me wrong, it is a lifetime commitment. All I ask is that you make sure you are ready for this. They can be your best and most loyal friend given the chance, don't break the trust.

SHE sounds wonderful, but who are you? Border collies require LOTS of entertaining. Can you handle that?

I would love to own such a dog. You are lucky to have found her. I don't understand why you are hesitating. Dogs and cats can become fast friends. They quickly sort out their differences.

Sounds like you know what you are getting. If you like her get her. I really don't understand that you would ask somebody else. Its your choice no matter what other people tell you.
