Description
Dog Breed: Collie (long coat). A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT ADOPTING FROM OUR ORGANIZATION. PLEASE GO TO .colliesheltierescue AND READ ABOUT THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS (GOOD PHONE INTERVIEW WITH OUR DIRECTOR, SECURELY FENCED YARD, FABULOUS REFERENCE FROM YOUR VETERINARIAN AND A HOME VISIT. I KNOW THAT IS A LOT BUT WE SCREEN CAREFULLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE DOGS. THEY DESERVE IT! This lovely girl is Scarlett, a four-year-old spayed female tri-headed white rough Collie. That is a mouthful! She is a little on the shy side, but loving. She came to us as an owner relinquishment from the family of a woman who died unexpectedly in Kansas. Along with Scarlett, came the rest of her little family. Her mate, Mac. And her two adolescent sons, Finnegan and Henry. She enjoys the company of other dogs, as well as cats, but would not mind being an only dog to absorb all the love in the world. Scarlett has had her kibble changed to a more appropriate adult Collie food. She is reluctant to eat due to all the changes in her life over the past week. She has gone from her beloved owner to being locked outside, taken by car to a foster home in Wichita, moved to Colorado to another foster home. Poor kid! Dogs are such creatures of routine and her routine is totally disrupted and confused. But Scarlett will make herself at home shortly with lots of handling and cuddling. That is the basic nature of our remarkable Collie dogs. Scarlett has been brought up to date on vaccines. Her bloodwork is great and she is heartworm negative and microchipped. All she needs is time to figure out what has happened in her life and how to make the best of her time forward. I know she would love you. If you would promise her forever. We will be accepting applications for all four of the Collies. Mac, Scarlett, Finnegan and Henry. Previous adopters and those with Collie experience will always be given priority. We can's wait to hear from you.

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.
