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 A HOME VISIT.) I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT BUT WE SCREEN VERY CAREFULLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE DOGS. THEY DESERVE IT! Lassie, step aside! Wynn is a 3-year-old neutered male rough Collie that is as close to the breed standard as any dog that has ever come through Rocky Mountain Collie and Sheltie Rescue. Not only handsome but charming and lots of fun to be with. He is the quintessential Collie that could do just about anything with his life. Dog sports can be loads of fun with the right human and pooch as a team. He would shine as a 4H partner with a 10 or 12 year old kiddo. If an adult with lots of time and patience wanted to train Wynn as an agility partner, they would both have a ball. Whatever direction Wynn's life will go, it must be spectacular. Because Wynn is spectacular! Wynn has all of his vaccines on board and is heartworm negative. He is microchipped and freshly groomed. He is in "move-in condition". But I do need to warn you that his foster mom will insist on the VERY best home possible and she will be reviewing applications that are submitted for him. He enjoys the company of other dogs and would love to have a Collie brother or sister. But it is the human element that will make Wynn's life wonderful. He craves closeness whether it is cuddling on the sofa or having that special someone on the other end of the leash, going out to coffee with friends or having a child read to him in a library program. The possibilities are endless. But we will NOT choose anyone with just a backyard kind of life to offer him. RMCSR will begin to accept applications for Wynn to become a member of your family. Priority will be given to current Collie afficionados, especially those who have adopted from us before. Young dogs deserve younger families that will be stable for him for many years to come. I can't wait to see who Wynn chooses to be his family!

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.
