Luna is a Rough Blue Merle, Female Collie. She turned 3 in November of 2016.

Luna is full of energy and likes to play. She is good with other dogs and birds.

She is very affectionate, somewhat needy, and loved to cuddle with her foster family.

Luna was on a medical hold due to a skin condition, as well as dealing with a false pregnancy, but she was lucky enough to find a forever home that wanted to work with her and fix her problems.

Luna is now with her forever home, and she is getting a lot of love and attention.  Lucky girl!

Piper is a 7 year old male Tri Rough Collie. He was adopted and went to his new home. He is a very affectionate and good natured boy, and will make a wonderful addition to their family.

Update:  He is doing very well with his new family. They are taking him on plenty of walks to bring down his weight.

Heidi is an extremely sweet 8.5 year old rough female sable headed white Collie, with a brown patch on her rump.  

She adapted really easy to her foster home. 

Heidi was very well taken care of with regular Vet (up-to-date on all shots) and grooming visits.  She will play fetch and tug of war a little bit. Save your paper towel and toilet paper rolls, you will make Heidi's day by giving them to her, she loves to play with them. She loves to run around in the yard (she still has lots of energy for her age), but is more reserved indoors. She likes to be outside and sunbathe. She plays well with her Collie foster brothers.  

She prefers to be in the room where someone else is.  She will also do a soft bark to get your attention, she can be a bit of a talker.  She likes to give Eskimo kisses, but is stingy with licking. She loves chin rubs, and will rub up against you.

She usually sleeps on her doggy bed, she currently has one in our living room and one in the bedroom. She doesn't get on the furniture.

She knows basic commands, and is used to going on walks.  She is potty trained.  She rides great in the car.  She doesn't seemed to be bothered by brushing.

Heidi went to her "forever home" and is doing very well with her new family.

Archie is a sable, male collie, approximately 5 1/2 years old. He is neutered. He has some mobility limitations as a result of a past accident. He lost most of his tail in that accident, has a metal pin in his front leg and limps somewhat. His range of motion is, therefore, compromised so he must be lifted into and out of vehicles. His only current medication is daily glucosamine/chondroitin.

Archie gets along well with other dogs but prefers to be with people. He is very gentle and is learning how to play with toys. Archie requires a home in which someone will be with him and not leave him alone.

Archie has found his forever home and we are all so happy for him and his new family!

Sheila is one of our current hospice foster collies. She is a senior girl at 12 1/2 years old who experiences mobility issues due to her arthritis and age. Since being in a wheelchair accessible home, without having to deal with stairs, she has a better quality of life in her senior years. Sheila is also taking a joint supplement and is on a pain management protocol.

Introducing “Nikki,” a 9 year-old, sable rough female. She is a new addition to TCCR's foster program and is not yet available. Nikki is currently being evaluated and more updates will follow.

Introducing “Lassie”, a 6 year-old, sable and mahogany rough female. She is a new addition to TCCR's foster program and is not yet available. Lassie is currently being evaluated and more updates will follow.

Introducing “Sabra”, a 4 year-old, blue merle rough female. She is a new addition to TCCR's foster program and is not yet available. Sabra is currently being evaluated and more updates will follow.

Luck be a Lady. Lady is a beautiful collie gal and approximately 2-3 years old. She was very lucky some good samaritans hosted her while they tried to find her family. Lady’s family never stepped forward, so she was placed with the Tri-County Collie Rescue. She adapted very quickly to her foster home and new doggie pals.

Lady is very intelligent. In a very short time, she learned basic commands, how to walk beautifully on a leash, and figured out the doggie door with little help from the humans. Lady is crate trained and knows that she has to “kennel up” during certain times of the day.

Following her foster family around the house seems to be a favorite activity. She loves human snuggle time, especially if belly rubs are involved. This gal is a pure delight.

Dora is a 5 year-old, smooth sable female. She is good with cats and dogs. She would do well with a dog-friendly canine friend.

Dora adjusted very quickly to her foster home. She is timid around strangers, but once she gets a chance to warm up to someone, she does fine.

Dora is quiet and not a barker. She does not do well when taken out of her familiar area, due to her lack of socialization. Due to her fear issues in new situations, she is a flight risk. She would be best in a home without small children, who may leave doors and gates open.

Dora is very sweet and a good companion. She enjoys playing with toys. If you have room in your heart and home, please consider this sweet girl.

Valentine is a 1.5 year-old, tri rough male collie. He is a little sweetheart at 55 lbs and he's pretty mellow for such a young dog, although he is playful. He is potty trained and he's fine with parrots, so we don't think he has a prey drive.

Valentine does get car sick and he is afraid of storms and fireworks and will find a place to hide where he feels safe. He came to us unsocialized with humans and dogs and is a little timid around people at first. He is fine around other collies.

Valentine is very inquisitive and seems to learn very quickly. Although we have been working with him at leash training, he still has a long way to go and is going to need time and patience with his training. Valentine has an unusual bark for a collie. He kind of woofs once, then does a howly type bark after that, but he is not a big barker.

Callie is a 4 year-old, tri smooth female collie. She's good with other dogs and cats while at her foster home. Callie is very smart and affectionate, loves to play with her toys, and very well adjusted to her household. She is good on a leash and likes going on her walks.

Ella is new to the rescue. She is currently being evaluated and will be available for adoption at a later date.

Laddie came to TCCR as a stray. He’s a petite, tri-color collie boy, approximately 1 ½ years old. After he puts on some more weight, he will get neutered, so he's currently under a medical hold. He’s a real lover, and wants to be with his people or other dogs, unless it’s nap time, then he will find a little nook to curl up and sleep. He is extremely loving, sweet, and very affectionate. 

He does the "collie rub". He likes to rub against your head, and he will do it to other dogs as well. Laddie has finally started to play with his two collie brothers and Austrian shepherd sister. He prances and bounces when he gets excited during play, but he still gets tired quickly after a romp with the other dogs, as he came to us underweight. He is starting to play with toys a little, but is not really sure what to do with them. His "siblings" are teaching him, though. He doesn’t bother smaller animals; he just wants to play with everyone.

He will bark to let you know if he needs to go outside or if he thinks it’s time to be fed! He will share a water bowl (drink at the same time as other dogs in the house), but will push other dogs out of the way to get to their food (another by-product of being underweight). He has dumped the inside garbage can over searching for food, so his foster parents have had to put the can behind closed doors. He’s not a big fan of being brushed, but will tolerate it for a few minutes. However, he does fine with a bath.

He is like a flower waiting to blossom; his wonderful personality shows through more and more each day. 

Hi everyone…my name is Daisy, a 2-year-old sable female, also known as a powderpuff sweetheart! I’m new to rescue and I’m currently in the process of being evaluated, vetted and groomed at my new foster home, so I’m not available just yet. My prior owners couldn’t keep me anymore. They also couldn’t keep my mom, Bella, or my sister, Patches, who are also now in rescue (see their bios on this page)

Hi everyone. Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m Sheba and I’m a 7 year-old sable white female. Watching the Olympics these last few days and seeing all the British Royalty, I was just thinking that I could easily belong to collie royalty, if there is such a thing. I’m a very good representative of the collie breed. I love to be around people, which is a very important thing when you are a royal. Royals greet people you know. I’m very good at that. 

I do very well with car rides. That’s important as a royal, too. That way I can wave to my admirers without getting car sick. I’m smart and learn things very quickly. If you adopted me, I could help us outsmart the paparazzi. I’m fabulous on a leash, love to take walks and I do well with other dogs. Again, I’m totally royal material.

I do have one flaw. I don’t care for cats and am not good with them. Even royals have faults. (I bet Duchess Kate could even tell us a few things about Prince William.)

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.

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.

MIA is a 6 year old, sable & white smooth collie of average size–approx. 21 inches. She is very outgoing and friendly with everyone and very good with other animals. Mia has had some obedience training and knows several commands. She is very responsive and eager to please. She likes to play with toys and retrieves, but is quiet in the house. She is easy to live with, completely housebroken, and has no apparent bad habits. Mia will make someone an awesome companion.

GLORY is a wonderful 9 yr. old, petite girl who is very well-mannered, obedient and playful. Young in spirit for her age. She loves a game of fetch and being tossed her toys. She will cuddle next to you on the couch, and sleep at the foot of her master’s bed, always returning the love and praise she receives with a collie smile. She is gentle with children and very good with other dogs and also cats. Glory does have skin allergies and will need to stay on “grain-free food” as well as an inexpensive medication and Vitamin E to maintain good health. Glory will not do well in a stressful environment. She is instead suited for a calm household, possibly being a wonderful companion for a retired couple. She came to us from a good home and a caring owner.

Hi, I’m “Paris”. My foster mom affectionately calls me “Evening in Paris” (probably because I’m so beautiful!). The vet thinks I’m about six years old. I’m a very gentle, sweet and smart collie! I try very hard to please. I’ve been in two homes before my foster home, but folks treated me pretty well and gave me some obedience training and housebreaking.

But, I hadn’t seen a vet in a long time. Now things are better! I’ve been spayed and all my vaccinations are up to date. I have a minor eye problem that the vet says is ‘benign’ but no other health problems. I didn’t get much food in my other home and, according to the vet, I was underweight. But I get LOTS to eat here and have two  other collies to play with. I used to climb up on the counters to get food but my foster mom says I don’t have to do that anymore, so I don’t. She says I’m “quick to learn.”

I love to run around the yard, but mostly I love to stay by my foster mom just in case she needs me to do anything. She calls me her ‘Velcro’ collie! I’d love to have a home where I could be the center of attention even though I get along with other dogs. I’m not sure what a “cat” is as we don’t have any here. I love to go for rides and used to go into a crate, too, but not here. If you’d like a sweet collie who’d give you all the love in the world, please contact my foster mom!

Update on Paris: I’ve had such a FUN day today! My foster mom and her granddaughter took me to a “Pet Day” at their local feed store. I was introduced to Alpaca’s, Llama’s, bunnies (boring!), goats, a pig, and even a miniature horse! I really liked all the different animals and my foster mom said I did really good, not barking or getting upset with all the noise and different smells. And the tall furry, funny ones sure did SMELL! I met lots of other dogs too and so many people, big ones and little ones, petted me that I lost count. They all told my foster mom how beautiful I am, and of course she agreed! I shook hands and acted just like the lady I really am. I’ve put on some weight now and the vet says I’m SO healthy! Her granddaughter played with me and brushed me until my coat shown. No wonder everybody thinks I’m beautiful!

GUS is a seven-year-old tri-colored collie. He is up-to-date on all vaccines, is heartworm negative, and is a very sweet fellow. He gets along fine with other dogs and even tries to play with them. He is fine on walks and rides well in the car. Gus loves kids, he sleeps with our grandson when he stays over. He is very gentle, and loves our morning routine of a treat after being let out.

Gus has some issues however. He loves to escape and will run if given the chance. Gus was fostered by us four years ago and was the same sweet dog then. He was adopted by what we thought was a loving & caring family. When he arrived back here this June, he was Mr. Houdini dog. I don’t know what they did to him when they had him.

Gus needs a pretty secure containment system and someone who is dog savvy as he is a smart fellow who will gain your confidence and watch for his chance to escape.

CAETO is 4 year old rough mahogany sable female. The first thing that comes to mind when describing Caeto, is that she is very sweet and loving. Once she gets used to her surroundings, she will get attached, will want to follow you, and lay at your feet.

Caeto is every bit a lady; she is housebroken, trustworthy when left alone, does very well with other pets like dogs cats and birds. Caeto knows basic commands and is good when walking on a leash. She also enjoys car rides. Caeto would do equally well with a young family with children or with an older adult.

She was loved by her previous family, but circumstances forced them to give her up

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.

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.

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!

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.

RUBY is a petite, sable, 8 1/2 year old female who acts like she is 4 years old. She has competed in the past in agility competitions and was a certified pet therapy dog.Her history is a sad one, as she has been returned by three adoptive homes through no fault of her own. One home had work schedule changes and the other two were the result of debilitating illnesses which left the owners unable to care for her.

Ruby is very affectionate, very smart and very willing to please. She acts a fraction of her age and truly needs a “forever” home.

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.

LUKE is a beautiful male sable and white collie just turned 6 in December. He is not your typical rescue dog…he doesn’t have the long sad story of abuse or neglect. He had a wonderful, well cared for life from 7 weeks old to present. His turn in came due to divorce. He is very loving and very gentle. He knows his basic commands and gets along with children and cats. He loves to take long walks.

LILLIE is a young nine year old white Collie with a Tri-colored head (also known as a Tri-headed White), who came to us because her owners had to move to an apartment where they could not take her. Her coat is growing in nicely after being shaved She is good with kids, cats, and other dogs. Lillie is housebroken and trustworthy when left home alone, unsupervised. She loves to go outside and for walks; she is also a quick learner and is quickly mastering her commands.

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.

ZEUS is a 9 year old ‘ish’ Sable and White Collie, found as a stray. He is sweet and very attentive to his foster mom, good with cats, and loves to ride in the car and go for walks. He’s good on the leash and doesn’t pull. Steps are not a problem for Zeus. He knows come, sit, give me a paw, etc. Zeus is trustworthy when left home alone, loose in the house; he is not destructive. Zeus is looking for his new forever home and would especially like someone to keep him company much of the day. If you’re looking for the new love of your life, than, Zeus may be for you!

TYLER is a 2 year-old male, sable, rough collie; although he currently does not look like one. Prior to coming to us, he was shaved at the shelter because his coat was severely matted. If you are looking for a young collie, Tyler fits the bill. He is curious about everything, very energetic, and playful all the time. Tyler is house trained. He is also crate trained, but only at small intervals. We are working with him on not to jump on people or other dogs. He gets along well with other dogs, but tends to have a food aggression towards them. We’re not sure if he likes cats. Tyler is tall, lanky, and loves people and attention. He is good with kids, but may run them over while playing. Tyler definitely needs obedience training. He wants to do the right thing, but he just doesn’t know what that is. He needs a special family that would love to take the time to teach him to become the special collie that he is. When his coat grows back, watch out, he’ll be a knockout.

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

 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.

BUCK is a 10 year old sable merle which accounts for the one blue eye and one brown eye. He came to TCCR as many of our dogs do— as a result of the poor economy. Buck gets on well with other dogs and with cats. He has a sweet temperament; likes to cuddle; knows his commands. Despite his age, he is in good health. His thyroid is on the low side and is on an inexpensive medication to correct it.

AIDEN is a 7 year old male sable Rough Collie. He lived outside in an enclosure, before coming into the program. He is well behaved in the house, and is house broken. You can leave him alone. Aiden is trustworthy.

He is good with cats and dogs. He is affectionate and likes to be around people. He is very good with children. He will also do well with older adults. If you are looking for a loving addition to your family, Aiden is a good choice.

SANDY is a 9 yr. old Sable Female, Rough Coat currently shaved. She is a real sweetheart of a girl, a little timid until she adjusts to new surroundings. She loves lots of attention which she deserves.

LUCKY is a 9 year old Sable and white male Collie, turned in by his owner, a product of the economy. Lucky is housebroken, good with cats and other dogs, good on a leash, and loves to ride in the car. He knows most of his commands and is very obedient. If you can see it in your heart to consider this lovely senior dog, you won’t regret it.

ASHLEY is an 11-ish collie found as a stray. She is a calm girl with a great disposition. Good with other dogs, cats and people.

HOLLY, a sable female about 2 years old, is very sweet and friendly with everyone. She can be a bit independent, probably due to lack of training. She needs to learn to listen; some training and bonding with someone would probably do it. She listens well when “cookies” are involved, but can just ignore you without the treats. She is good in the house with moderate exercise, and she can be a counter surfer.

 Holly is ok with cats. She can be a bit dominant with dominant dogs but is great with the13 week old sheltie in the fosterhome. Again, she just needs to know the dominance thing is not allowed and needs an owner who is willing to spend the time to firmly but gently train her.

LAD is a 5 year old mahogany sable rough collie. He is affectionate and gentle good with children and other pets. He also would do well with an older person. Lad knows basic commands and is trustworthy left alone. Lad stays off the furniture and is happy to rest at your feet. On a personnel note Lad is remarkable to me. My mother has Alzheimer’s. She left the house without my knowledge. Lad began barking going to the front door. I checked to see why. I saw my mother walking down the street. I was so grateful he alerted me. Lad does have a low maintenance issue. Lad has skin allergies and needs inexpensive medication daily. He will probably have this problem for the rest of his life. But for the small inconvenience he will make up for it with love and companionship.

LASSIE is a beautiful sable and white 12 year old collie. She came from a household where neglect was a way of life. She is good with young kids and loves to tell you about her day. When she arrived at her foster home, her coat was so matted it took the groomer 5 hours to bath and de-tangle that coat. Lassie loves to be where you are and though she was a little chubby, her new diet is doing nicely to take off the extra weight. She likes cats and other dogs, though she would be best as an only dog or possibly a two dog household. Lassie will stand and be groomed for hours— she loves the attention. Lassie’s day consits of eating sleeping and being loved. She is spayed, up to date on all of her vaccinations and is heartworm negative. Think about this classy Lassie when looking for a Collie to brighten your home.

BEAUTY is an 11 year old sable (now shaved!) female.

MIKE is a 6 year old sable/mahogany male. He is a very sweet boy! He loves people and enjoys giving lots of love to his people. Mike enjoys his stuffed animal toys, bones, being outside and food! Mike weighed in at 100 lbs when he saw his new vet with his foster mom when he was turned in to Collie Rescue. He is now on a strict diet with limited treats and regular exercise and walks. Speaking of walks, Mike loves to walk on a leash around the neighborhood. He does this exceptionally well! He doesn’t pull and stays right next to his foster mom. Mike also likes to play outside with his collie foster brother and other foster family dogs. He gets along great with his foster feline brothers as well. He really doesn’t pay the cats any attention as all. There is not an aggressive bone in Mike. He just loves people and other dogs. Mike does have a full, gorgeous coat like Lassie from days of old which requires weekly grooming (at a minimum). He is very good while being brushed. Grooming is a relaxing activity at night in front of the TV for Mike and his foster mom.

Yes, he looks like a puppy, but FARLEY is really 9 years young. He is a tri-colored Collie with a very short coat. He was shaved prior to being turned in by his owner who could no longer keep him due to her work situation. Farley is a prince in the car and on a leash. He is used to long walks. He’s a perfect gentleman in the house; gets along with other dogs AND cats. If you are looking for a wonderful, laid back companion, who just wants to love and hang out with his family.

This is CANDY. She’s a very young 5 years old who loves to play and run around with people and other dogs. She listens well and learns new things very quickly. She is very good with our cats and little dog, but gets into occasional trouble trying to play with them – she does not seem to know how big she is! She has no health issues, other than “collie nose” – she needs sunblock on her nose every morning before she goes for her walk and some Vitamin E at night to help it heal.

Candy is good with children and friendly with new people once she gets to know them. She has a big loud bark and makes a wonderful watch dog, but does not bark excessively. She is very affectionate and wants to be a lap dog, but she really doesn’t fit in my lap!! She knows what “off” means – but insists on checking every day to make sure that the silly “no collies in my lap” rule still applies. She’s a lot of fun, and a great companion.

ELLA is a one-year old smooth tri-color female collie. Ella is shy at first, but once she gains your trust, she blossoms. She likes playing with toys and taking walks. She is good with other animals. Ella is also comfortable with her car rides. She is good with older children. Smaller children frighten her.

BUCKLEY is approximately 4 years old, neutered and an ALMOST smooth collie. He is very skittish from being tied outside most of his life, but is getting used to lawn sprinklers, rollerbladers, bicyclists, the hair dryer, etc. Buckley needs a home where he will be the only dog and his owner/s are home more often than not.

BONNIE is a 3 year old girl who came with her sister, from the same owner, who loved and cared for them. But the owner died and the girls were given to TCCR to find new loving homes for them.

Bonnie is very affectionate and outgoing. She loves to be around people, is well behaved and knows her basic commands. She does well with other dogs. With cats she likes to play and chase them. We have been working with her on that and she is doing better. Bonnie likes to be around children but would also do well with an older person. Bonnie loves to cuddle and be next to you. She would make a wonderful companion.

My name is LASSIE and I am 8 years old. I came to Collie Rescue because my owner died of cancer and nobody wanted me for some reason. I am a VERY good girl! I know how to sit, stay, and come when called. I stay off the furniture and enjoy being groomed and petted. I am overweight because I got too many treats from my owner before she passed away. So, I am on a strict diet and am really good about getting my daily walks in for exercise. I am good on a leash! I love being with people and get along great with animals of all species. I’ve lived with cats, dogs, reptiles and rodents! If you like to travel, I’m your gal because I am well behaved in the car – it actually makes me sleepy.

LUCY is a pretty, petite 4 year old Tri Color female collie with special needs. She has Addison’s Disease and will require moderately priced medications daily the rest of her life. However, given her medications regularly, she should be able to live a fairly normal life.

Lucy is a sweet, happy, intelligent dog who loves attention and tummy rubs. She is timid at first meetings, but later warms up. She is good with cats and enjoys not only playing with other dogs but also looking to them for guidance and protection. She responds to structure.

Zoe, a nine-year old female, rough collie. I’m very affectionate. Let’s see, what else can I tell you about myself? My color is what foster mom calls blue merle. Let me explain what that means. I’m beautiful. I’m not braggin’. Foster mom says I’m beautiful and I believe her.

I’ve been lucky to have had wonderful humans in my life. I came from a very loving home, but my owner had to go into assisted living. I miss my mom, but I have adjusted well to my foster family. There is a younger boy here for me to play with. He is way cool because he takes me out in the yard and we run and play and then run and play some more. I may be nine, but I’m a very energetic nine, and I can keep up with the young ‘uns just fine.

My foster people take me on walks, which I just love. I’m also good on a leash, on car rides, and with other dogs. I also know my basic commands. So, basically, I’m perfect. (That really does sound like I’m bragging, doesn’t it? Sorry about that.)

There is one other interesting thing about me. I enjoy following cats around. Yes, I know that sounds a bit odd, but I’m just curious as to what they will do. I would never hurt them, though. Remember, I’m affectionate.

So, that’s me in a nutshell…affectionate, beautiful, and perfect. If you need some affection, beauty, and perfection in your life, I would love to be the one to give it to you.

HOLLY is a very pretty 3 year old. She is well behaved and knows basic commands, is very affectionate but somewhat shy and a little reserved.

Holly likes to be with children but also would do well with an older person.

She would benefit by being with someone who is home most of the time and would not do well left alone for long periods of time. She does well with cats or dogs. Holly has a mild case of ” collie nose” or more technically “nasal solar dermatitis ” meaning that Holly is sensitive to excess sunlight on her nose due to light pigmentation in that area. This is something that can be controlled by limiting her time out in the sun; sunblock and a simple vitamin regimen is also very helpful. A physical, above-ground fence at her adopting home is a requirement. Holly would be a loving addition to your family.
