Description
Dog Breed: Collie (long coat). Lahara is confident and outgoing. She is very focused on people and just loves them. She can be a little bossy with other dogs and also plays hard with them. She occasionally needs some coaching when meeting strange dogs as she tends to come on strong and get right up in their face. She is healthy and a good eater. She would be fine as only dog or with others, but she likes to be the boss! Lahara was born in the fall of 2022. She was an owner give up with two other pups that have since found forever homes. She spent much of the first part of her life cooped up and often crated. Despite that rough start, Lahara is confident, social, curious, and is a very well-mannered girl. She is very focused on people and just loves to be near them but is fine if left alone for a bit. No anxiety issues. Around the house, she’s very chill. Nothing really gets her wound up - except backyard squirrels. When she first arrived she was a little bossy with other dogs and also played hard with them. Since settling in and getting some guidance, she now loves to see other dogs and play a good game of smell/chase if they’re up for it. She doesn’t know any basic commands but is very intuitive and seems to know what you're asking of her. She’s okay on leash - a bit zig zaggy - but doesn’t pull. She would be fine as an only dog or with others that are up for it. If you are interested in rescuing a collie, please complete this short adoption questionnaire. Our standard adoption fee is $450.

Overview:
The Collie, a majestic and intelligent breed, originates from Scotland where they were primarily used for herding sheep. Known for their striking beauty, Collies typically possess a long, flowing double coat that comes in a variety of colors including sable and white, tricolor, and blue merle. They have a graceful, athletic build, with a distinctive long muzzle and expressive eyes. In terms of temperament, Collies are renowned for being incredibly loyal, gentle, and highly trainable, making them excellent companions. Their affectionate nature makes them particularly well-suited for families with children, though their need for moderate exercise means they thrive in homes with yards, rather than cramped apartment living. While generally a healthy breed, potential owners should be aware of a predisposition to certain conditions like Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) and drug sensitivities. With proper care and training, a Collie will enrich any household with their devoted companionship and bright personality.
