My story

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

Say hello to Kirby!
This happy-go-lucky boy is the quintessential Collie. But let’s read what his Foster Paw has to say about him:

“Kirby has lots of energy and loves to run and play with his current foster brother Dash (another Tri-State graduate) who is now five. Sometimes Dash informs Kirby to "chill out" a bit and Kirby takes the hint. When Dash needs a rest, Kirby runs the fence with the neighbor dog.

Kirby is the ultimate companion dog who will follow you around and literally plop down next to you and just watch what you're up to. He is always interested in keeping track of what is going on in the house or backyard. Because of this trait, his recall is quick and enthusiastic. He is food motivated and easy to work with. He knows sit and down and walks on a leash very well.

Kirby would thrive in a home with children and lots of activity. He is housetrained and crate trained. Throw a few treats into the crate and give the command "crate" will result in him cheerfully going in. A chew toy included in the crate will occupy him. Crating him while people are home, however, will lead to some complaints from Kirby as he won't be able to keep track of the home's going ons. If guests need to be isolated from him for a while, a gated off area will work very well as Kirby will just hang out by the gate and lay down there.

Kirby is affectionate and loves to receive affection and attention. He is learning what items left on the floor are play toys and what items are not (shoes).”

And if Kirby isn’t your cup of tea, we have many more Collies of all ages coming in weekly. Please visit https://tristatecollierescue.org/how-to-adopt/ to complete the adoption application.

More about this rescue

WHO WE ARE:

TRI STATE COLLIE RESCUE VOLUNTEERS have been professional breeders and dog show exhibitors, and we have more then 50 years of combined professional experience with the collie breed. In addition, our group includes devoted collie owners and lovers. We are listed as a recognized rescue group with the COLLIE CLUB OF AMERICA

OUR MISSION:

To end the indiscriminate breeding practices of irresponsible breeders, to educate the public about the lifetime responsibilities of caring for a pet, including the necessity of spaying and neutering, and to promote the return of undying love and devotion collies offer their owners. Too many purebred collies are found as strays, in dog shelters, or in the humane societies. We hope to eliminate the euthanasia of these collies.
