CRLNE is pleased to announce that several collies from the group we rescued in February of this year are almost ready to go to their new homes! These collies have been groomed and thoroughly vetted including vaccinations, treated for heartworm (if appropriate), had their teeth cleaned (if needed), and spayed or neutered. We are presenting them in a group, as these collies have some similar needs.
While we recognize their individual personalities, they will all need:
- a quiet home
- a fenced yard (as they may be a flight risk)
- a commitment to continued training
- someone experienced in dealing with an anxious collie
Also, most of these collies are more comfortable with women and will need to be de-sensitized to a male presence.
More about Sam, pictured above:
Sam is a very handsome 3-year-old blue merle smooth collie. He is up to date on all his vaccines, is neutered, and has been treated for heart worm. Sam is crate trained, housebroken, and good with cats and other dogs. Sam needs a fenced yard and a quiet home, as strange noises bother him. Sam does stairs and loves toys. Sam's foster mom describes him as a collie who loves to curl up with you (and he does snore!) She says he’s a couch potato and steals treats. When asked for one word to describe Sam his foster mom said "smooshie"! We're still looking for a definition of that one!
More about Finnie, pictured above:
Finnie is a handsome 3-year-old neutered male tri color smooth collie. Finnie is a bit anxious and needs a quiet home. He also needs a patient adopter who is committed to working with him. Finnie has overcome his fear of leaving the backyard and has learned the fun of going for a walk with his foster sister. Foster mom tells us that all she has to do is pick up the leash and his tail starts wagging and he starts barking in joy to go for a walk!
More about Henry, pictured above:
Henry is a very handsome smooth collie with a personality to match his good looks. His foster mom says he is quite the charmer and is an absolute "Love Bug”! Henry is a 5-year-old smooth sable collie who is housetrained, good on a leash, and is crate trained too. Henry loves toys, especially the ones with a squeaker in them! Henry just loves to be close to his people. He does a few stairs but is capable of learning to do a full flight. Henry is good with children and cats. Sudden sounds startle him, so a quieter home will be best. Henry loves marrow bones and peanut butter. He is current on all his vaccines, neutered, and will be groomed before adoption. He does require a fenced yard.
The collies pictured here are in the range of 3-5 years old. They have exhibited a wonderful temperament but are fearful inside a house, as the sounds we humans are accustomed to can be scary to them. Our foster homes have begun to slowly introduce them to household life and sounds, but it is an ongoing process.
