My story

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

Oz has come so far since coming into our program thanks to hard work of his loving foster. Who better to describe this wonderful boy:

“Oz walks on a treadmill for exercise in addition to walks. Follows a golf cart/side by side. He doesn’t have issues with older kids. He will stay away if he doesn’t want to be bothered. Toddlers might be too much for Oz.Will avoid a situation if possible. If not, he will submit.

Oz is a sweet boy that will play fetch. He also self entertains himself playing with his toys. He enjoys swimming in the lake. Oz also listens very well. He walks on a leash respectfully and off leash. Rides in vehicles just fine. He is a back of the pack dog which means he is an alerter and a little sensitive. Will bark to let you know if he is not comfortable with you. He tends to gravitate to the person that spends the most time with him. He needs someone that will give him space and when he is ready for affection, he will let you know. Oz is shy at first but once attached, he is very loving and loyal. He is afraid of men but will tolerate them.

Very gentle taking food. Eats very slow. He doesn’t go on furniture but if invited probably would. Likes to chill in the yard and watch the pasture.

Oz is an amazing collie looking for the right match for him.”

Oz is being fostered in Ohio

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.
