My story

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

"He is perfect in every way," cooed the vet tech when we went back for a check-up. And she's right! Caleb is a sweet, friendly, and playful 3-year-old collie. He greets everyone he meets with a smile and a tail wag, expecting to be best friends right away. He's calm in the house and in the neighborhood - a confident guy, even the neighbor's howling werewolf doesn't faze him! 
 
Caleb has corneal lipid/mineral deposits on his eyes.  Therefore, he must be kept on a low fat diet.   He is on meds for his eyes and it is best for him to be seen by a veterinary ophthalmologist.  We took him for a first visit and he has a follow up visit scheduled for January.  He does see well and we are hopeful that this is just a condition that will be best monitored with no further complications. 
 
Caleb is very playful, and spends his days racing around the backyard with his younger foster brother. He gets along with all dogs, and enjoys playdates with all the neighbors - all the kids come to his house! On wooded hikes he stays on the end of the leash but doesn't pull too hard; in the neighborhood, though, he gets excited when he sees squirrels! He loves watching them through the front window and chasing them when they scramble along the backyard fence, too. Sadly, he's not quite agile or fast enough to catch one!
 
Caleb is a great house dog. He's firmly housebroken, doesn't get on furniture,  and doesn't make any attempt to run out when the front door is opened. He has a classic soft sable coat, is mid-sized (about 60 pounds), and he is all happiness and smiles! Caleb would love a home with a big yard and an energetic playmate. He is a sweet, sweet boy, and will bring love and joy to any family lucky enough to adopt him!


If you are interested in rescuing a collie, please complete this short adoption questionnaire. Our standard adoption fee is $450. This fee helps us to cover (and sometimes only partially cover) the expense of providing each dog with a Health Exam, Rabies/DHPP vaccines, Heartworm Test, Heartworm Preventative, Flea & Tick Protection, Microchip, Neuter/Spay, a Bath and any other medical needs. 

Thank you for your consideration in adopting a collie in need!!!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

It is Collie Rescue, Inc’s responsibility to place the animals that we rescue into an environment compatible with their needs and to ensure their adoption is in the best interest of both the animal and the adopter. Following are a few guidelines to help you understand the adoption process:

All rescued animals receive the following:

- Spay/Neuter

- DHPP & Rabies Vaccines

- Heartworm Test

- Monthly Heartworm Preventative (Interceptor) while in our care

- Fecal Exam

- Deworming, if needed

- Microchip Implant

- Bath, Groom, Frontline while in our care

Collie Rescue, Inc. will contact your veterinarian for a reference.

Collie Rescue, Inc., or an approved third party, will perform a home visit before the rescued animal is placed with the adopter. The home visit is performed to assure us that the prospective rescue will be a good match for your household. If necessary, areas of concern and helpful suggestions will be discussed either during or after the home visit.

There is a $300 adoption fee. The adoption fee pays for the veterinary expenses of the rescued animals.

The adopter must sign a legally binding adoption contract.

The adopter must return the animal to Collie Rescue, Inc. in the event they can no longer keep it.

The adopter represents that all members of the household have never been charged with cruelty to animals.

If the adopter moves, they must notify Collie Rescue, Inc. of their new address and phone numbers. (Collie Rescue, Inc. registers the microchip and therefore needs to keep adoption records current should the rescue animal become lost.)

More about this rescue

Collie Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. Our mission is to place stray, abandoned and surrendered collies into loving and permanent homes, educate the public about the collie breed, and promote responsible pet care. Our goal is to provide a safe and healthy haven for all dogs placed in our care until loving, adoptive homes can be found.
