LILLY
is a 2 year old Smooth Collie mix and is low maintenance when it comes to
grooming. Lilly is quiet, not a barker. She is good with children and other
pets and also very affectionate. She is energetic and loves to play, but is
also happy curling up next to you. She has one bad habit: she is an escape
artist. For Lilly, the grass is literally greener on the other side of the
fence so she digs her way there. She needs a yard with an electric fence, or
possibly someone who lives in a condo who could take her out on a leash. If
your looking for a best friend Lilly might be your answer. For more
information, Lilly@CollieRescue.com.

TYSON is a beautiful blue merle about 2 years old. TCCR bailed him out of a shelter after he was dumped there by his third owner. Beyond that, we can only guess at his history. He doesn’t seem to know many commands, but is learning quickly since his fosterpersons are working to teach him. So perhaps no one took the time to train him. He gets along well with the other dogs and the cats in the home, but doesn’t readily run and play with them (maybe he was an only dog). He walks nicely on a leash; he’s pretty laid back for a 2 year old dog which is a good thing because he’s a large sized collie. He will seek out the company of his fosterpersons for his fair share of attention. Tyson seems to find everything a novelty, as if he didn’t get out much before to see the world. If you think Tyson could be a good addition to your family and you are willing to work with him to finish his training, contact his fosterhome at Tyson@CollieRescue.com.

PARIS has had anything but the life of an heiress! This petite little girl came to collie rescue with virtually no hair and a long sad story. Ultimately, it was determined that Paris has allergies. She will need an “extra special” family that will be mindful of these allergies. Since being diagnosed her maintenance is really very routine. She is on an allergen-free dog food, as well as an inexpensive medication and vitamin E which are given with her meals. Paris is 6 years old and is a white collie with a tri-colored head weighing in at a mere 46 lbs. She gets along well with children and other dogs. Since her diagnosis and treatment have been in place her personality is really starting to come out. She’s become more playful and affectionate. She loves to be where you are and just hang out with you. Her story has been long and sad but she is ready to put that all behind her and find her forever home. Please consider opening your heart to this collie that truly embodies what rescue is all about. Contact Paris' foster home at Paris@CollieRescue.com.

This ten year old tri-color
smooth coat (not shaved) male is BUDDY REX. Buddy is a
"finished product." He knows his basic commands, he is housebroken, he
will go outside and take care of his toileting needs and come right back in
the house. Because he is a smooth collie, Buddy has a short coat that
is easier to maintain than the coats of the longer-haired rough collies.
Other than his smooth coat, Buddy has the expected gentle temperament and intelligent appearance
of the collie breed.
While Buddy is a tall collie and is relatively large at 85 pounds, he has a very soft bark. Buddy and cats aren't a good match, so he should go to a dog-only home. Buddy may be 10 years old, but he has plenty of energy and verve--he sets quite a pace on his daily walks. For additional information, contact his foster home at Buddy@CollieRescue.com.
