Marley is a very lucky little fellow. When his owner could no longer care for him, Marley was not abandoned by the side of the road or sold on Craigslist with used patio furniture. Marley went to the community animal shelter where he could have a good chance at a great life. A wonderful friend to our rescue went and scooped him up and we proceeded with his veterinary care, etc. Marley is being fostered by our Director, so she has the privilege of getting to know him and writing about him. Marley is what we refer to as a large honking mutant Sheltie!! He weighs 43# which is quite a bit outside the size range for the breed. He has a big sweet head that has a good-sized brain in it. Although he has just been neutered, he picked up immediately on the fact that we are not pleased when dogs mark in the house. An “uh-uh” and a frown and he came to apologize to me. His previous owner must have been loving toward him because he certainly understands how to give affection. Even with our seven-year-old granddaughter, he has been appropriate and companionable. As I work on the computer, he has settled beside me to watch with adoring eyes. I am the keeper of the kibble! That makes me the center of the universe.” As with all the dogs in our program Marley has been neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested and microchipped. Marley is healthy and energetic. He is perhaps 1 ½ years old and in the absolute prime of his life. One lucky family will get to spend the rest of his life with him. That is what we work so hard to make happen. One dog for each family, forever. Please begin the process for adoption by going to our website at www.colliesheltierescue.org, reading our Policies & Guidelines and, if we sound like the right group for you, proceed to the online Adoption Application. From there, our receipt of your completed application will be confirmed by email. You will receive a follow-up phone call if we feel you are a good potential applicant for the dog. Lots of good conversation with the foster family, a reference from your veterinarian, and a home visit round out the screening process. We take dog adoption very seriously. Please put a lot of thought into why you want to adopt a dog, and help us make a good match for your family. We appreciate your taking the time to visit with us. We will look forward to hearing from you as well.
