RECENTLY ADOPTED COLLIES

MICK is about 2-1/2 years old and came in to TCCR’s care from an animal control shelter that found him as a stray. Although his owners were contacted that their dog had been found, they opted not to take him back into their family. Despite Mick’s strikingly beautiful blue merle coloring and happy-go-lucky temperament, it’s obvious that he’s a kinda-collie, and not 100% purebred. But he doesn’t know that and the collies in his foster home have adopted him as one of their own. Mick is a smart dog that picked up the household routine and learned basic commands very quickly. He is trustworthy indoors, there’s no inappropriate chewing or getting on furniture, likes getting groomed and is not a barky critter. He lives to play with people and other dogs. His picture shows him in that play mode, just asking for someone to join in the fun. Until Mick outgrows his boisterous, youthful enthusiasm, it would be better that he not be placed with frail or unsteady-on-their-feet humans or dogs. But if you’re looking for a very loving pet that can keep up with an active family.

This handsome guy, also named BUDDY was turned over to TCCR by a veterinarian that found him tied to their clinic door one morning. He had a note with him that his family could no longer care for him and hopefully the vet could find him a good home. It’s obvious that while he was with that family he was a well-cared-for pet. Buddy, a beautiful 6 year old male, is an active dog that loves his toys and playing fetch to get his exercise. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home and there’s no problem getting along with the cats either. He knows his commands, is trustworthy indoors, well behaved, kid friendly, and has no heath issues.

SEGER is a two year old rough coat white/merle collie. He is a young guy that came to us with another collie, Tyler, from a shelter where they were brought in as strays. His coat was so neglected that they had to shave him. After two weeks, his peach fuzz is finally growing into something that someday will be a beautiful white coat able to keep him warm on his daily walks. In the meantime, he wears a polar fleece coat. Seger follows anyone around the house if he thinks he can get attention -- a real "velcro" collie. He has learned the "sit" command and we are working on walking on a leash. His house manners are a bit rough and a crate is helpful in controlling his puppy-like exuberance. He is housebroken and does bark when he wants to go out. Seger loves his squeaky toys and will play tug until your arm will fall off. Seger has a ton of energy and needs a family that can keep up with him and as well, have the patience to train him.

CHARLIE is a handsome 10 year old tri-color collie. His owners had to move and could not take him with them. Charlie is very lovable; good with kids, cats and other dogs. He enjoys car trips and is a great traveler. Charlie is in good health and takes no medications other than heartworm preventative. He is housebroken, and trustworthy to be left home alone without a crate. He even stays off the furniture! Charlie is well-mannered on the leash, knows his basic commands, and is a pleasure to have around. |

NOAH is a very handsome mahogany sable boy who came into Rescue from an owner who couldn't care for him. Even though Noah is about 4 years old, there is still a lot of puppy and puppy energy in him. His "house manners" are good and improving; however he is crated when there is no one home to watch over him. His favorite indoor activities are dragging every toy out of the toy basket and following people from room to room to room. Outdoors, he loves to run and jump over every obstacle in the yard (flower pots, decorative fences, chaise lounge, other dogs...) He'll gladly play his version of "fetch", which also has a lot of tug and keep-away mixed in. Noah is not the dog for someone who works all day and expects their dog to just sit and relax with them. He is active and will benefit from a daily "job", whether it be as a companion on long walks or jogs, becoming an obedience competitor or learning some agility work. He is NOT the couch potato type. Noah is a little too rambunctious to be a good playmate for a toddler, so a family with older kids would be better. He gets on well with the younger collie of the house, but can be a bit much for the old collie and little dog that live there too. Noah will return all the love and positive attention given to him and will make a wonderful pet for someone who is willing to give him the time, attention and the gentle training he needs. |
