My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Happiness is my game. Hello, I’m Chester! My foster parents call me Chess and I am two years old. I’m a shy, but loving, and give kisses once I get to know you better. I’ve not had much of a social life previously, so my foster parents take me out to experience people, children and pets. Car rides are fun for me. People comment that I am well-mannered and calm. I’m housetrained but right now I’m wearing a belly band to minimize marking in the presence of other male dogs while my hormones calm down from being neutered. I'm up to date on my shots, and on a heart worm preventative. I was diagnosed with heart worms when I first came into rescue, and will be getting my first heart worm treatment injection in early October. I just need to remain calm to get rid of these nasty heart worms! You can foster to adopt me and the rescue covers all expenses and once my heart worm treatment is complete, I can be officially adopted!

Toys- I love them! My favorites are tennis balls and sticks. And who doesn’t like treats? My favorite outings are going for walks and running around outdoors when there is backyard playtime. My foster parents say I’m well-mannered on a leash while walking in the neighborhood, don’t pull and follow along with them. Would love to be in a home with other dogs or I’m happy to hang out with just a human friend. Did I say I like to snuggle? Please provide a fenced yard for me to run around, and you may apply for me at freedomcollierescue.org

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All adopters must fill out an adoption application. We do vet checks and a home visit. We adopt to indoor only homes. All of our collies are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. All collies are completed vetted, all vaccinations are up-to-date, they are micro-chipped and if needed, they are treated for heart worm disease and are given a dental. Our donation fees are:

$325.00 donation for a puppy under 12 months ***
$275.00 donation for an adult age 1-9
$150.00 donation for an adult age 10+

*** FCR will require spay/neuter surgery to be performed when puppy reaches 6 months of age. You may choose to take the Collie to an FCR approved veterinarian, where fees will be paid by FCR. If you would prefer to take the Collie to your own veterinarian, FCR will reimburse you, upon proof of payment made to your own vet, for an amount equal to rescue rate at FCR vet. Adoption will not be finalized until the puppy is spayed.

More about this rescue

Freedom Collie Rescue is based on these three qualities - compassion, honesty and dedication. We are a newly formed Collie Rescue organization, with over 8 years experience as board members and volunteers with Collie rescue in the greater Houston area. In addition, our Adviser has over 10 years of experience in showing the Collie breed, and many years in rescue. We are incorporated in the state of Texas, and are recognized as a non-profit organization.

Freedom Collie Rescue will rescue Collies in danger of being euthanized at area shelters/pounds, find new homes for Collies that have been abandoned or relinquished by their owners, provide necessary veterinary care for rescued Collies, and place rescued Collies into permanent adoptive homes. Your adopted collie will be spayed or neutered, be up-to-date on all required vaccinations, be on preventative heart worm medication, and will be micro-chipped.
