Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Liliana is an absolutely stunning collie mix who is about 3 years old and weighs 40 lbs. She is great with other dogs and cats but kind of sticks to herself for the most part. She has access to the 40 acres of property here and is allowed to roam freely as she doesn't run away or stray far from the house. She prefers being outside so she gets to hang outside as much as she wants but is allowed to come inside anytime she wants. So she will definitely need a home with a yard, not an apartment. She is quiet (I don't think I've ever heard her bark) and not high energy but could absolutely handle hikes and other high energy activities. She is a great, easy-going, low-maintenance dog. She follows off leash when we go on group walks around the property but also does well on the leash. She does well in the crate. Due to her preference of being outside 95% of the time, she may need some re-training in terms of potty training in an environment where she spends more time inside, but this is just an assumption as she has never had an accident inside. She is also super smart so teaching her anything is a cake-walk.
Liliana was dumped with her newborn puppies on a dirt road in the middle of winter. Luckily someone spotted her on the side of the road in the brush so I went and got her. She is currently still in Oklahoma where she was rescued but she can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. She has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take her in or she will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found.
