Collie puppies and dogs in Newark, New Jersey

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. ALMA-Boy was saved from being shot on the streets of Oman by an amazing organization Muscat Dog Adoption. He along with his7 friends were flown into JFK where they were cleared the CDC and then picked up and transported back to Give a Dog a Home Rescue, in Sebec, Maine on 5 April 2024 We post in east coast states and Canada as we have many families adopt and are happy to make the worthwhile trip up to the rescue. We do not always have time to post all the pictures on each dogs individual page, but we do post a lot of photo's on the rescue Facebook page. Alma-Boy is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, monthly preventatives, heartworm and tick disease tested negative and is microchipped. He has an estimated date of birth of 21 November 2022 and at the time of transport weighed around 35 pounds. Mixed breed dogs in Oman are referred to as Omani Wadi Dogs, with most of them being Saluki mixes. Alma is such a gentle and sweet boy, he is a little wary at first, but having been through all he has leaving his rescue in Oman and traveling to the US is a huge change. After just a few days, he has settled in great, he gets excited when I go over to the kennels, will now take treats, very gently, shares a kennel with two other dogs and does great. One of his kennel mates, CHIP a young cattle dog is really helping to bring him out of his shell, teaching him to play and having him curious in the toys and chews. He sleeps snuggled up with, I feel he gets a lot of comfort with Chips typical cattle dog confidence. ALMA is thin, although being the kind of breed, a sighthound mix, he will not need to gain much more weight, but a few extra pounds would have him at a healthy weight. We take a lot of pictures and videos and don't always have the time to post them on the dogs individual webpage and adoption site, so we ask that you go to the rescue    YouTube channel   and    photo albums on our Facebook page   to see a LOT of pictures and videos. We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks. Alma-Boy is located at the rescue in Sebec Maine and is available for a reduced adoption fee of $300. Interested families are required to complete our application process and once approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. Our process takes 1-2 days as long as we are able to talk to references, so be prepared to be approved (hopefully) to adopt within a few days of submitting the adoption application. https://giveadogahome-rescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=5838 HOUSE TRAINED - All of our dogs are located in the kennel building so we are not able to say if a dog is house-trained, however, they do have access and use the dog door to access their run, play area 24/7. FOOD - We feed a variety of high quality brands and flavors including, chicken, turkey, beef, lamb and fish generally alternated daily. CATS - As the dogs are in the kennels, we are not able to say how they are with cats.

BLONDIE - 8 months, 32lbs, Collie/Shep Mix, Spayed Expected to be about 35lbs full grown PLEASE NOTE: Does okay in the calmer parts of the city, doesn't like the really busy parts. Would love a home in the burbs or beyond. This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org. There Foster Parent Says: "Exquisite. Goofy. Two descriptors that don’t seemingly go together but Blondie is exactly that. The regality of a working breed dog is apparent in the way she moves and her goofiness comes out in the cutest, most darling way when she plays (she sort of hops like a rabbit so I’ve taken to calling her Lola Bunny). She’s an adorable, gangly young girl still getting used to her surroundings but extremely adaptive and open to love. She’s loves toys, romping with her foster brother, frolicking through leaves, and belly rubs. She’s potty-trained and does just fine home alone. While she’s working on her confidence, it’s evident she prefers being around another confident and playful dog while she’s coming out of her shell. Though a little wary of new people / places she warms quickly. One of her cutest characteristics is the wiggles she gets when she’s excited; either from you coming in the door, when she’s ready to play, or when it’s time for a meal. Blondie is the most beautiful girl and in a short time has already brought so much joy to our home." Level of dog ownership experience needed:INTERMEDIATE: As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. The adopter must have relevant primary care experience with a similar breed, temperament, and/or energy level. (Primary care experience includes ownership, fostering, or dog sitting as an adult, not a dog you grew up with.) Relevant puppy care experience is a huge plus, but bare minimum the adopter must have TONS of time and patience. Raising a puppy can be a lot of fun, but it’s also  tremendous work. Puppies’ personalities and exercise/stimulation requirements change dramatically between now and when they’re a year old as their bodies and brains develop, so an active lifestyle and the ability to adapt to a pup’s evolving needs are a must. We strongly urge professional dog training with a rewards based trainer from the get go. Adults only or kids ages 8 and up – all puppies go through a mouthy, rambunctious phase and often accidentally hurt children when playing. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN BREED RESEARCH to make sure you have a better understanding of the kind of temperament and exercise requirements this dog may have as an adult. Energy level MEDIUM: Very young puppies sleep and nap a lot, but their energy level skyrockets when they become teens (4 months to around a year). As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day at a minimum. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  Cuddle Bug LevelMedium — Likes to snuggle when he's in the mood but often stays in his own bed Potty TrainedYes — very good about this!  Comfy with strangers?Sort of — Fine with meeting new people but not particularly interested, kind of shy in busy social situations like a gathering or a packed day in the park. Good with children? Yes for 12 and up — may be a little energetic or a little skittish, best with older children that can be extra gentle or that are big enough not to get accidentally knocked down Good with Other Dogs?YES —LOVES other dogs. Would be so happy to live with another dog!!!  Social with cats?Yes. Almost all puppies have the potential to be friends with a cat. It’s on the adopter to know their cat’s temperament and preferences and to teach their puppy respectful manners. Mouthy Behavior? Low – Little to no interest in chewing on stuff or putting things in its mouth that aren’t food. Doesn’t try to chew on hands, feet, etc. during playtime, doesn’t wreck your stuff — only chews on appropriate things like dog toys and bones.  Leash Manners?Getting the Hang of it – doing really well on leash!  Okay in the city?Sort of — Loves BK and would do great in parts of the city that are calm and not too much. Would love a home in the burbs and beyond.Jumping on People to Say Hi?Low – Doesn’t jump up on people or dogs. Always all four on the floor.  Separation Anxiety? Nope – Completely fine being left home alone. Doesn’t cry or do anything shitty when you leave the apartment or house.  Crate training? Not at all – Don’t even have one, I’ve puppy proofed and we free range. Medical status:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella vaccines (for dogs under 4 months old, adopters will need to finish the DHPP vaccine series and administer the Rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age), spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer uponHow this dog ended up with Social Tees:Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee or St. Thomas. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives.  PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses though!  This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes.

 BON JOVI - 8 months, 38lbs, Collie/Shep Mix, Neutered Expected to be about 40lbs full grown  PLEASE NOTE: This dogs needs to be in calm part of the city or beyond (burbs,etc). Does not do well in highly populated parts of the city.  This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program starting that day. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org His Foster Parents Say: "Bon Jovi is shy at first, but can be quick to warm up if introduced in a calm and quiet setting. He’s very sweet, looks for human approval and attention once he is comfortable with someone. Lots and lots of tail wags every time I make eye contact with him! He needs extra patience and love as he is pretty scared of most new things — especially outside. Strangers, scooters / skateboards, and loud noises make him nervous and he will need a lot of positive reinforcement to help build his confidence. Indoors, he is calm, affectionate and gaining his confidence slowly, but surely. He’s doing a great job sticking to his bones and chew toys - but will test boundaries if he doesn’t have enough to play with. He seems to enjoy having a variety of toy textures to play with - soft toys, nylabones and bully sticks. I have not heard him bark or make much noise at all - even in his kennel. He does wonderful overnight in his kennel and doesn’t seem to have any separation issues at all. When he’s whined, it’s only lasted a few minutes before he settles down. He mostly just wags his tail and waits to be let out to say hello. He’s been wonderful with my older resident dog and gives her all the space she needs. He seems friendly and interested in her, but is not seeking too much attention from her. I think he would do great with any other dogs or animals in a home. He would probably thrive with a younger resident dog who wants to play too - I think it would help him build confidence. We’re slowly working on basic commands, but I think he’s a bit too nervous to focus at the moment. He is definitely housebroken and has done great in that regard. He’s going outside consistently even though he’s clearly frightened of all that’s happening outside. He does well on leash objectively, but associates it with going outside so it does make him nervous when he sees it’s coming his way. Overall, Bon Jovi is an extremely sweet puppy with loads of potential - he just needs a family who can give him the training, socialization and attention he needs to gain his confidence in the world."How is the dog's cuddle bug levelMedium -- Likes to snuggle when he's inthe mood but often stays in his own bedIs the dog potty trained? (Indoors, if the dog cannot go outdoors)Yes -- Few or no accidents insideComfy with strangers?Sort of -- Fine with meeting new peoplebut not particularly interested, kind ofshy in busy social situations like agathering or a packed day in the park.Comfortable with Children? (ALWAYS requires supervision) Teen and Up--  Bon Jovi is a sensitive pup so not a great fit for young kids, okay with calm kids Social with Other Dogs? Yes -- Good with all other dogs (sizes,breeds, etc.) as far as we know andenjoys socializing with other canines. Currently in a foster home with a dog. Respectful of Other Animals? (cats, small pets, etc.) Yes -- Seems to get along with otheranimals, either tries to play with them or is mostly uninterested. We are able to cat test for approved adopters. We think he would be okay in a home with cats. Mouthy Behavior? Medium – Is respectful of hands, feet,etc. but does like to chew on things it’s not supposed to like shoes, furniture,etc.Leash Manners? Getting the Hang of it – Probably hasn’tbeen on a leash much in its life but he/she is figuring it out. Might be a mild puller but responds to correctionOkay in the city? Needs Home In Calm Area - not a fit for the busy city life. Would do best out of the city or in a truly calm part of the city that has access to greenspace Jumping on People to Say Hi? Low – Doesn’t jump up on people ordogs. Always all four on the floor.Separation Anxiety? (Please be sure to leave your foster dog home alone every single day for at least 20 minutes.) Lower – Cries for a few minutes and then settles down Crate training? Yep/mostly – Seems comfortable in thecrate, may whine a little at first butsettles pretty quickly. We use the cratewhen we leave the pup alone and/or atnight.  Medical status:Healthy as far as we know.

 BLUES TRAVELER - 8 months, 42lbs, Collie/Shep Mix, Neutered Expected to be about 45lbs full grown  PLEASE NOTE: This dog does best in calm parts of the city and beyond. Would love a home in the burbs or in a calm neighborhood with access to greenspace.  Is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program.  Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org. Their Foster Says: "Blues Traveler is a big, sweet lovebug! He’s still getting used to the sights and sounds of the city, so can be a bit spooked on walks, but he’s slowly gaining confidence! He loves kisses, belly rubs, greenies, and especially loves his big foster-sister Ella (he lights up every time she comes in the room and loves to kiss her face/play with her!) Based on his interactions with humans, it seems he may be more drawn to women and trusts them a little more easily, as opposed to men. He responds well to commands, is super intelligent (we potty trained him in about 5 days!) He still likes to get into a bit of mischief with chewing, but is learning quickly. Our daily routine consists of a 60 minute walk in the morning, or a 45 min walk first thing followed by another 30 ish minute lunch walk shortly thereafter. Around dinner we go out again for another leisurely 30 ish minutes, depending on how long the earlier walks were. And we always make sure we take him out right before bed! He does better walking with our senior pup, Ella, than he does on his own (confidence in a pack!) He’s inquisitive, a bit shy, especially when meeting new people or new dogs, but ultimately the sweetest dog in the world! He sleeps through the night, and has only ever made one mess in our house (first day we had him! We believe this was due to nerves/high stress from the travel). He’s a big fan of his cong. We’re working on crate training him, but can tell crates really freak him out, so it’s going to be a slow process. He does well when left alone (a few minutes of whining, but after that just sleeps while we’re gone! We have a furbo so we can watch him and Ella together. Should note that we leave them out together now, with no issues). We truly believe he is made of special stuff. He’d do particularly well in the suburbs, or with a backyard, but he’s also learning to enjoy and love the city. Just going to take a bit more time to fully adjust to the noises and activity!"

(Please be sure to leave your foster dog home alone every single day for at least 20 minutes.)

This precious girl came from one of the worst hoarding situations that we have ever dealt with. there were over 100 dogs on the property, none of them spayed or neutered. Finally, the authorities went in and they managed to get ALL of the dogs out of there. Filthy dirty situation, sick puppies, you name it. We choose to take Blossom home to our rescue because her eyes were begging us for love and attention. She was very pregnant and two weeks after arriving, she gave birth to 7 heathy puppies! Every single puppy was different, every singe puppy had a different daddy! We think that Blossom had never been paid any attention to because she was so shy. Once we weaned her babies we took her out of the nursery and into the house where she just blossomed! That's how she got her name! Her puppies have long since been adopted and now it's her turn. We actually did a DNA on her and it came back with 4 different breeds, which we kind of figured from the beginning. Australian Cattle Dog, Labrador Retriever, Pit Bull, Boxer. Yes, she is truly a "Mutt!. She is extremely smart and will do anything for a treat. I want her to have a nice fenced yard with lots of room to run. Cattle dogs are working dogs and they need lots of exercise! She is spayed, crate trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped and house broken, truly a gem! Ready for immediate transport. ADOPTION FEE $400 PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION!

Ginger's mom was a very good friend to all of us here at the rescue. When she unexpectedly passed away, we took this sweet girl in immediately and she has been a joy to have around. Our friend had a bit of a heavy hand with the treats and Ginger was waaaay over weight! We put her on a diet right away and she is now slim and trim and ready to go to her forever home. Don't let her age hold you back, she is VERY active and healthy. Heart worm negative, crate trained, house broken and just a delight. She's fine with all dogs, kids and cats. She acts like a puppy and just loves to run and play. Let's give her a chance at a forever home! PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION! ADOPTION FEE $250
