I am a five-year-old Collie girl who absolutely loves being petted and staying right by your side. I’m a sweet girl who loves attention and just wants to be with my person.
Since arriving at the rescue, I have been spayed and had my teeth cleaned. I walk well on a leash and know my basic commands. I am housetrained and crate trained, although I really don’t need a crate. I am also good with cats and get along well with other dogs. My coat has been shaved, but it will grow back long, beautiful, and fluffy before winter! I am at the rescue because my person had to have back surgery and would no longer be able to care for me.

I am a petite Collie girl weighing about 50 pounds, and the rescue guesses me to be around three years old. I am housetrained and crate trained. I don’t really need a crate, but I do like having my own little place to relax and chill out. I do just fine with the other dogs and pretty much ignore the cats. I’m not really interested in going for walks, and I don’t care much for being outside unless I’m taking care of business or you’re out there with me. I’m much happier being inside with my people. Since coming to the rescue, I have been spayed and had my back teeth cleaned. My coat has been shaved, but it will grow back before you know it! I came to the rescue because my person had to have back surgery and would no longer be able to care for me.

I’m the man of the group, a five-year-old Collie boy weighing about 55 pounds. I was already neutered when I arrived, so I’ve got that taken care of! I did have a little eye infection, but I’m taking medicine for it and it’s already clearing up nicely. I enjoy going for walks and do pretty well on a loose leash. I know my basic commands, am housetrained, and am crate trained, although I don’t really need a crate. I get along just fine with the other dogs and don’t bother the cats. I’m an easygoing guy who is ready to find my new family. I came to the rescue because my person had to have back surgery and would no longer be able to care for me.

I am a 4-year-old, petite tri-color collie girl weighing about 53 pounds. My person loved me dearly, but due to a terminal illness, she could no longer care for me and wanted to make sure I found another home where I will be loved. I am house-trained, crate-trained, know my basic commands, and walk nicely on a leash. I enjoy being around people and children. I get along nicely with the other dogs and pay no attention to cats.

I am a 4-year-old blue merle collie girl weighing about 50 pounds. I am housetrained, crate trained, ride nicely in the car, and do pretty well on a leash. I get along fine with the other dogs, but I’m not much of a fan of cats and will chase them if given the chance. I came to the rescue because my person was moving and could no longer keep me. I’ve included a picture of myself before my grooming appointment and everyone says I look even prettier now after my spa day. Sonnet

I am a 4-year-old tri collie girl who could stand to lose a few pounds, but that should be easy because I love to run, play with toys, and romp around with the other dogs. I am housetrained, crate trained, ride nicely in the car, and am learning loose leash walking. One new thing I’m getting used to is tile floors, and honestly, they are a little scary to me right now. I’m adjusting, but I still try my best to scoot across them as quickly as possible. I am a very sweet girl who loves attention, petting, and being close to my people. Empress and I came into rescue together after our owner passed away. I’ve included a picture of myself before my grooming appointment when I was pretty dirty. Just look at how shiny and beautiful my coat is now after my spa day! Tempest See less

Pleased to meet you! I’m a Collie, about 6–7 years old, and I came to the rescue as a stray. I’m a very good boy with a gentle nature and get along wonderfully with other dogs, while completely ignoring cats. I’m fully housetrained, don’t require a crate, and walk nicely on a leash. I have excellent house manners and am a calm, loving companion who’s happy just being by your side. I do enjoy playing with other dogs, though, and would really love a canine buddy in my new home to share some fun and friendship with. Rocky

I’m a beautiful white Collie girl, just about a year old and around 55 pounds. My previous owner, in her senior years, realized she couldn’t quite keep up with the needs of a young pup, so I’ve come to rescue to find my perfect match. I’m housetrained and crate trained, and I’m currently learning how to walk nicely on a leash along with some basic commands. I can be a little shy at first, but I’m already starting to come out of my shell more each day. Once I feel comfortable, my sweet personality really shines especially if you’re offering a good belly rub, which I absolutely love! I get along great with other dogs and don’t bother the cat at all. With a little patience and love, I’m going to grow into a wonderful, loyal companion. Icelyn
