My name is Chevy!

Meet Chevy! He is a 5 year old male rough collie who is super sweet and loves life. Chevy is outgoing, confident, very playful, and has a stable, easygoing temperament. Chevy gets along with his foster siblings and does great with cats, chickens, and sheep. He knows basic commands and walks nicely on a leash.

Chevy was raised in a family with children and has been a gentlemen with the neighborhood kids that he has met while at his foster home. We think he would thrive in an active household with kids who will play with him and keep him on his toes. He seems to have the classic Lassie personality of gentle attentiveness that would mesh perfectly with a younger family.

He does have a couple bad habits of counter surfing and rough housing on the furniture when he gets excited. However, we have been working on training out these behaviors and he has already shown much improvement after just a couple weeks in his foster home! He will require consistency in his new home to continue improving these behaviors. He rides well in the car, is quiet and respectful in his kennel, and trains eagerly and easily.

Chevy is neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on vaccines and all parasite prevention. He also recently had a dental cleaning. We have been treating him for a skin infection and his coat is currently very thinned out as a result. We do expect that his coat will be long and dense when it comes back in, so routine grooming will be important.

He will be difficult for his foster family to part with, but they are excited for him to find his perfect forever home! A fencedf yard is required.  Apply at freedomcollierescue.or
