Description
Dog Breed: Collie (long coat). A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE WE CAN CHAT ABOUT ANY COLLIE OR SHELTIE IN OUR PROGRAM. PLEASE READ ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION AND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTION AT .colliesheltierescue AND THEN COMPLETE THE ONLINE APPLICATION. IT IS EASY TO DO. OUR IT FOLKS MADE IT EASY ENOUGH FOR ME! Leo is the quintessential Collie you have dreamed about. He is a 3-year-old neutered male tricolor rough coated Collie with lovely manners and a fun nature. He has been in a foster home with a baby and loved every moment of it. But "dad" has allergies and that has changed Leo's future. Their disappointment may well be your lucky move. Because Leo is now looking for his forever home. The ideal home for Leo will be one with children. He adores them! And a securely fenced yard, of course. Leo is obviously a bed dog. And a couch dog. And a cuddle bug. So beware! Leo loves interaction with other dogs and cats. Kids are a must, perhaps full time or regular visits to their grandparents. He can be a bit of a barker that is characteristic of being a herding breed. Because he is a young adult, he will need activity. Walks, games, backyard ball throwing, trips to a feed store. He does enjoy a nap or two during the day. And he sleeps soundly through the night, hopefully close to the person he has chosen to be "his human." Let's see if we can make Leo's miracle happen before we drink a toast to the New Year.

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.
