Description
Dog Breed: Collie (medium 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 SAKEOF THE DOGS. THEY DESERVE IT! "I dream of Jennie with the big brown eyes." Jennie's foster mom, Shirley, sings this song to the female Collie with the most trusting brown eyes ever seen. Jennie is a three year old spayed female rough Collie that was left behind when a family moved away. In spite of the circumstances, this sweetie pie seems to be carrying no negative baggage with her. People should be that forgiving, right? Miss Jennie is the quintessential Collie. Intelligent, affectionate, obedient and loads of fun. After only one week in foster care, we already know that Jennie listens well, is treat motivated and therefore easy to train and an all-round fabulous companion. She walks well on a leash, enjoys the company of other dogs and is fascinated by kids. For those of you who know the Lassie saga, this should sound very familiar. Jennie's vet care is all completed and she is ready to find just the right adoptive family. The ideal situation for her would include another young Collie to play with, a couple of kids over 8-10 years old, adults with enough energy and time to make sure she has an active and fun life and folks who are willing to train with her and are open to new ideas. And, by the way, sofas are one of her favorite paces to relax. I hope that is okay with you. Does that sound like anyone you know??

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.
