Description
Dog Breed: Collie (medium coat). A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT ADOPTING FROM OUR ORGANIZATION. PLEASE GO TO .collieshelteirescue AND READ ABOUT OUR BASIC REQUIREMENTS (GOOD PHONE INTERVIEW, SECURELY FENCED YARD, FABULOUS REFERENCE FROM YOUR VETERINARIAN AND A HOME VISIT. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE A LOT BUT WE SCREEN CAREFULLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE DOGS. THEY DESERVE IT! Monaco is the name of this neutered male rough coated Collie. He is UTD on all vaccines, microchipped and learning manners very quickly. He came all the way from Italy to a backyard breeder in northern Colorado where he was left outside like a garden statue. So upon coming into rescue, Monaco has had to learn all the basics. And he has done very well. Gentle hands offering nibbles. Grooming. Baths. Walks on a leash. Monaco came into RMCSR with his mate, a small blue merle rough coated Collie named Laina. He was pretty intense in their relationship until he was neutered and she was spayed. But now they interact like friends and he is fine with other dog to dog interactions. He weighed only 36# on Day 1. And he has only put on 2# in the first month. But now that the giardia and roundworms are cleared, and he is eating voraciously, he will start coming up to a more reasonable weight. His ungroomed double coat hid the fact that he was skin and bone. With a lot of kindness and time, Monaco will grow into the Collie he was meant to be. And the family that is lucky enough to live with him for a lifetime will be glad he came their way. Previous or current Collie folks will have preference on adoption. I can't wait to see how joyous he will be!

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.
