Listed below are pictures of TCCR collies in the care of a foster home as of January 29, 2012. These collies are under review for fitness and health. While every attempt is made to maintain and update the available collie profiles, TCCR cannot guarantee the availability or suitability of a collie for interested parties. Prior to adopting a TCCR collie, an application must be completed and approved. Interested families are encouraged to contact the foster home using the e-mail addresses provided.
Cooper
COOPER is a beautiful blue merle who will be turning 10 years old in November. He’s a big boy at 88 lbs (could stand to lose a few) who is healthy and active. Taking walks and playing with his stuffed squeaky toys are his recreational outlets. Cooper is a gentle dog with his humans, loves hugs and being petted; he really enjoys the one-on-one attention and follows his people around like a good companion dog should. Since he has some show ring experience in his background, he is a dream to groom and handle. He’s a quiet dog having been debarked and should not bother neighbors as he cheers on the bicyclists and skateboarders that go by. The best home for Cooper would be as an only dog unless his new owner is very dog savvy and can handle the inevitable competition with other dogs. If you’re looking for a beautiful companion collie email MMG@CollieRescue.com
Owen
OWEN is a 7 year old male white collie with sable markings. Owen was turned in because his family could no longer give him the quality time he deserves. Owen has a fear of storms and some separation anxiety issues and takes an inexpensive medication to help him. His foster family is working on these issues and he will need patient and loving leadership from his adoptive family to help him overcome his anxieties.
Owen has hearing loss in his left ear, so he may not respond if excess noise in the environment masks your voice. Owen gets along well with his foster home’s older dog and came from a house with a 17 month old toddler, so we think he can do well in most settings. He likes car rides, long walks, and is very friendly. Contact his foster home at Owen@CollieRescue.com.
Jericho
JERICHO is a lovely, loving 8-1/2 year old sable male who gets along with everyone and knows no strangers. His sweet and sunny disposition wins him friends everywhere he goes! Jericho was turned in because his owners were moving and couldn’t take him with them. He’s good with other dogs and cats alike; seems to like children that he’s been exposed to. He’d love to have another dog to play with. Jericho loves car rides, and walks like a gentleman on the leash and doesn’t pull. Jericho has a seizure disorder that is said to be stress induced; he’s on daily inexpensive medication for this, which is controlling it very well (hasn’t had a seizure in the over three months he’s been fostered). If you can see it in your heart to give him a chance, you won’t be sorry. For more information, contact Jericho at Jericho@collierescue.com
Dusty and Jordan
This is a package deal! DUSTY is an 11 year old rough collie who is a big lovable guy. He is great with people of all ages, loves to play tug of rope with humans and other dogs and is a gentle big boy. JORDAN is an about 9-10 year old sheltie who has spent his entire life with Dusty and needs to continue to do so. He gets along well with adults since those are the only people he was exposed to. They both enjoy walks, chasing squirrels and watching birds. They are both on arthritis medication which has helped their mobility along with having lost some weight.
