Matthew

MATTHEW is a sweet, 8 year old Sable male that fell on hard times. The son put his dad in a nursing home so the daughter of the 90+ year old owner took her mom back to California for a visit before sending her home to Argentina….leaving Matthew tied up
outside with the neighbor feeding him and taking him for the occasional walk!

Mattie (Matthew is just SO formal! <g>) is housebroken, current on shots, just neutered, loves kids, obviously does well with older folks and a little confused by the cat. He will sit and stare at the cat, then start to bark at her, never tries to chase her, but just can’t quite
figure her out. He likes to be as close to me at all times as he can be. Mattie is no slouch though, he and my 2 year old “pup” race around the backyard playing tag and herding each other whenever they get outside. If you have room for a really sweet gentleman, take a look at Matthew!

Krikit

KRIKIT is a 6 year old tri rough female. She has a very sweet temperament and likes to be around people. She would do equally well living with an older family or a family with young children. Kriket likes to play but is not overly rough where she jumps up on you or would knock down a small child. She is good with cats and dogs and is trustworthy when left alone in the house. She enjoys taking walks and is good on a leash. She is well behaved when riding in the car. Her favorite thing to do is snuggling up with her human family. One cute thing Krikit will do to get your attention, is sit by you and put her front paw up in the air as if she is waving at you.

Babe

BABE is a 6 year old female, spayed, up to date on shots and on heartworm preventative. She is a friendly girl who is adjusting to indoor living after kennel life. She is crate trained and has had no accidents in the house.  Babe walks well on a leash which is good because she is overweight and needs the exercise. Babe comes when called and sits when asked. She is learning to shake hands, go up and down stairs and play nicely with my 10 yr old male.

Babe likes squeaky toys and has retrieved tennis balls when thrown for her. She likes to be right in the middle of things, gives her opinion when asked but stops when told to. So far she does not like the vacuum cleaner when it’s turned on. There are no kids or cats in her foster home so her reaction to either isn’t known but with her pleasing personality she’ll likely adjust to most situations. If you are looking for a dog that will be a good companion, Babe could be the dog for you!

Donner

DONNER is an 8 1/2 year old sable male Collie who was turned in due to a divorce.  Donner is good with kids, cats, and other dogs.  He walks nicely on a leash and doesn’t pull.  Donner is trustworthy in the house when left alone and does not need to be crated.  He loves car rides.  Donner knows his commands as well as shakes paw.  If you can find it in your heart to welcome this sweet boy into your home, you won’t regret it. 

Thor

THOR is a tall-standing (big) boy, sable, and about 3 years old.  He has a sweet personality, is pretty laid back, likes to stay close and cuddle. Although he is not overly active he likes to play keep away and chase toys.  Thor had been in a shelter and was recently turned in to TCCR by someone who had adopted him but couldn’t keep him.  Despite that history, he’s moved into his fosterhome as if he’s always lived there and is very well adjusted.  He also gets along nicely with the dogs and cats in the fosterhome.  According to his fostermom, she hasn’t found anything negative about Thor except that he could lose a few pounds (he’s an excellent eater).

Sam

SAM is a wannabe collie (a collie mix). A TCCR member got a call from a high kill shelter on the west side of the state telling her that they had a collie. She hurried over and pulled…Sam. There may not be much collie blood in Sam, but he has all the collie mentality one could want. He is good with other dogs, cats and kids. He loves to be petted. He was probably neglected so he REALLY appreciates being fussed over. If you are looking for a sweet, gentle boy who will truly be devoted to you…Sam’s the man!

Misty

This is MISTY, a 10 year old sable and white female, an extremely gentle girl who is looking for her forever home. Since she was a pretty sable puppy she was called Misty, sure to bring a twinkle to your eye just like the Emerald Isle. Misty has a problem with thunderstorms and loud firecrackers like many collies (and many other breeds for that matter). Her new owner should be aware that she needs to be reassured of her safety when there is a storm. A safe, quiet place away from the noise will help greatly. Misty is excellent riding in a car, loves walks, and gets along well with other dogs and cats. If you would like to open your home to a loving, gentle girl, Misty may be just the one you’re looking for.

Casey

This pretty girl’s name is CASEY. Case is a white collie with blue merle markings and is 6 years old. She was turned over to Collie Rescue when her owner passed away. Casey is very friendly and loves being around children and adults. She likes taking walks and is good on a leash. She also like car rides. Casey has proved to be trustworthy when left alone and knows her basic commands. She is well behaved around cats. Casey had to adjust to life in her foster home with other dogs wanting to share toys. With time and patience she began playing and getting along with the other dogs. She fits right in as part of the family. Casey has lots of love and companionship to give to a new forever family.

Finley

FINLEY is a 7 year old tri-color male Collie that was picked up as stray and spent some time in the dog pound. He likes other dogs, cats and kids, but he is still learning his manners and is a little over-enthusiastic. For that reason, he might not be a good fit for a home with small children as he could knock them down. Finley is housebroken and can be trusted not to destroy things in the home. He walks well on a leash and is a lot of fun, he loves chew toys and playing tug with you.

Brandi-Lynn

BRANDI-LYNN is a 6 year old Sable female who spent the last several months working to regain her health.  She came to TCCR underweight, with allergy issues, and heartworm positive.

Brandi-Lynn was successfully treated for heartworm and will now be on preventative year-round. Her allergy concerns have been successfully treated with a commercially available allergy-free food, allergy medication, and thyroid medication. Because of these needs, we are looking for just the right family to welcome this special girl.

Brandi-Lynn is housetrained and  trustworthy left loose when the family is not at home.  She loves car rides, kitties, and other dogs.  She is obedient and walks well on a leash.
