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, HOME VISIT). I KNOW THAT IS A LOT BUT WE SCREEN CAREFULLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE DOGS. THEY DESERVE IT! Henry is a 2-year-old neutered male sable and white rough coated Collie that deserves more personal attention than he has had. His owner loved him, and all the other dogs in the household, but young Collies are shaped by the affection and direction of their caregivers. Henry is responding well to his foster family while we have his vet care completed. His vaccines all on board except his lepto booster which will be done in 3 weeks. His baseline bloodwork is good and he is heartworm negative. Hallelujah! He will be neutered on Tuesday with IV fluids and all the bells and whistles. Microchipped with a Home Again chip and including a lifetime database listing. Although Henry is a work in progress, what you will see is the quintessential heart of a Collie and the same gentle nature. He loves the company of other dogs (other than his dad), will pick up a tug toy to start a game and run madly around the yard with his tail flying and a look of complete joy on his beautiful face. He has done fine with cats in a limited way. And he enjoys children although he would be too rowdy for toddlers. Older calm kids would be fine. Henry is beginning to learn about being crated for specific periods of time to help with housebreaking. All the dogs in his previous household used a doggie door to go out to go potty. And all four of the Collies that have come from this situation are readjusting to going out a regular door to go potty. It is a time for all of them to learn what all good dogs should know. Those of us with opposable thumbs should exercise gentle understanding and patience when it comes to retraining dogs. Henry is waiting for the family of his dreams. Could it be yours??

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.
