Description
Dog Breed: Collie (long coat). A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT ADOPTING FROM OUR ORGANIZATION. PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE AT .colliesheltierescue AND READ ABOUT THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS (GOOD PHONE INTERVIEW, SECRELY FENCED YARD, FABULOUS REFERENCE FROM YOUR VETERINARIAN AND A HOME VIST.) I KNOW THAT IS A LOT BUT WE SCREEN VERY CAREFULLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE DOGS. THEY DESEERVE IT! Mac is the father of the two-year-old male pups on the website with lovely Scarlett being the mama. He is a glorious large sable and white rough coated Collie with a lot of personal charm. Mac happily goes up to all men, women and children to introduce himself. He adores other dogs and has no issue with cats. He was very much loved by his owner who died unexpectedly about a week ago. The only thing Mac knows for sure right now is change. Left outside after his owner died. A long car trip from a small town in Kansas to a foster home in Wichita. Another long car trip from Wichita to Pueblo West, CO. A bit of poking and prodding including drawing of blood at a vet clinic. Being a part of a blended dog family. If you think of this from the perspective of a pooch used to a routine life, all of a sudden having nothing to cling to. It is heartbreaking. Mac is a 5-year-old neutered male that has been brought UTD on vaccines and has great bloodwork, is heartworm negative and microchipped. He has recently started on a more appropriate diet for an adult Collie. He eats well and sleeps well and enjoys time outside, especially when there is snow on the ground. We have not found anything that Mac does not enjoy! Mac would not mind being an only dog or as a part of a larger dog family. When it comes to what forever family he would like to hook up with for a lifetime, we will have to see what the universe has in store for him. Preference will be given to those with prior Collie experience. And we always love to hear from our previous adopters!

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.
