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, SECURELY FENCED YARD, FABULOUS REFERENCE FROM YOUR VETERINARIAN AND HOME VISIT.) I KNOW THAT THIS IS A LOT BUT WE SWC REEN CAREFULLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE DOGS. THEY DESERVE IT! Finnegan is a two-year-old neutered male rough coated Collie. He is a tri-headed white with one ear and up and the other ear down. Just made for kissing. Finnegan came to us with 3 other Collies from a sad situation where his 80-year-old owner died suddenly. They were all much loved. But they did not get as much individual attention as young Collies deserve. Finnegan will be playing catch-up to learn important skills such as reliable house breaking and basic obedience. But he is learning quickly and will look to his new owners to bring him along. We have had to begin at the beginning for vaccines but he is now UTD with DA2PPL and Rabies. He will have a lepto booster in 3 weeks. Finnegan will be neutered on Tuesday with IV fluids and all the bells and whistles. He has been microchipped with a Home Again chip and will have a lifetime database listing included with his adoption. Finn is a lover. No one has to teach him about affection. That is a part of his Collie make-up as surely as his love for children. Toddlers may be too small for a rowdy adolescent dog. But a 10-year-old child and a Collie are wonderful together. Most of what you saw on the Lassie TV show was so true. But if Timmy falls in the well.....we just don't know. LOL Previous Collie experience will put you first in line with us. Collies are so incredible sensitive emotionally and physically that to know them is to love them. Who will love Finnegan best?

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.
