Description
Dog Breed: Collie (long coat). Meet your new best friend, Catina — a sweet, mellow girl who is 5.5 years old and has a heart full of love and some of the best house manners around. She’s the kind of dog who settles easily into a home and quickly becomes everyone’s favorite companion. This lovely pup absolutely adores people and is happiest making new friends wherever she goes. She may get a little excited and jumpy when greeting someone new, but it’s all pure happiness and affection. At the dog park, while other dogs are busy wrestling and chasing balls, she’s usually making the rounds to collect pets and attention from every human she can find. She walks beautifully on a leash, enjoys her meals with enthusiasm, and has an easygoing personality that makes living with her a breeze. Around the house, she’s calm and content to simply curl up nearby while her foster family relaxes. She’s not anxious, needy, or quirky — just a steady, loving companion who enjoys being close to her people. She’s crate trained, though she doesn’t really need one, and she does just fine when left alone for a little while. The only thing to note is that long car rides can make her a bit drooly or carsick, but otherwise she handles everyday life wonderfully. She does have some allergies that are well-managed with medication, and she takes it like a champ. Her foster family has found it very easy to keep her comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate dog with a calm spirit, great manners, and lots of love to give, she may be exactly the missing piece your family has been waiting for.

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.
