My story

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

Fostered in IL
Fenced yard required

Hey, you guys! It's me, Ron with a little update about how things are going. I'm a little sad and a little confused about why I haven't heard from my Forever yet, but I know you are out there, somewhere.

I know I'm not a Lassie type, but I am a real Collie - just the short-coated kind. That just means that I won't have any of those annoying knots to brush out all the time, and I think that's a big plus. I am rough-factored which gives me more hair than lots of smooths, if it helps!
So, I'm a two-year- old tri colored male. I live with a bunch of other collies now and get along fine after a good introduction. I've learned not to chase cats (kinda), but squirrels and bunnies are fair game so a fenced yard is a must.

I'm getting used to neighborhood noises but wouldn't mind a quieter home away from that nonsense, either.

I do have a strong personality and a deep voice but underneath I can be a real softie. I'm on the fence about kids - individually they can be ok, but in a group, maybe not so much. I'm athletic, love taking really long walks and toys are great - I even play fetch!

I'm really hoping that my Forever sees this - I'm waiting for you, friend!
