My story

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

Handsome Leo is 18 months old and looking for a family of his own. He weighs in the mid 50’s now but will fill out to the low to mid 60 lb range. He will also grow his mature collie coat over the next year. He has beautiful naturally tipped ears. He is neutered and current on vaccinations. Leo was pulled from a shelter after being found as a stray so we don’t know much about his past. But it isn’t hard to figure out he was an ignored outside dog. He has been working to learn the “how to be adopted” rules and is now a very nice family dog. He is healthy, sweet, affectionate, and good with other dogs. He would do well with children over the age of toddler. He is house trained. He doesn’t care for the crate and will let you know he isn’t happy but will settle down and rest after a short time. He goes in easily with a treat. I provide him with plenty of safe chew toys and he hasn’t destroyed anything in the house. Leo would be happiest with a young, playful dog friend. If his owners are home most of the time and he has a good size yard to run around in, he would be fine as an only dog too. If he has a shortcoming it’s that he doesn’t jump into the car and must be lifted. His new family will need a strong back as this boy fills out. But once in the car, he rides very well. He is very outgoing and confident in the house but is frightened when we go places. He just hasn’t seen much of the world is all. His new family can work on socializing him if they want to take him places. If Leo sounds like your kind of collie, apply at houstoncollierescue.org.
