Collie puppies and dogs in Harrison, New York

Penny is a gorgeous 2 year old girl, who needs a home that will give her time to adjust as she can be a little nervous.  She is very very sweet, is good with dogs as long as they are not "right in her face" but who likes anyone being right up in our faces!!  She would do best with older children, and would love a fenced in yard to run and play in.  One where she has freedom to relax, lay in the sun, or chase after a ball.

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.

WINGER - 12 weeks, 23lbs, Collie Mix, Neutered Expected Full Grown Size About 60lbs This puppy is joining Social Tees on 1/11 and is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program starting that day.

(This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  Potty trained?Working on this skill. Puppies under 12 weeks old are often on track with their wee pad skills, but they’re too young to walk outside in public NYC areas yet because they haven’t finished their puppy vaccine series. Puppies older than 12 weeks are usually learning to do their business outside. Potty training takes a lot of patience, consistency, and clean up.  Crate trained?Nope. None of our new puppies have been formally trained, but many of our foster parents/adopters choose to crate train. It can be a great way to keep puppies safe and teach them independence. Social with dogs?Yes. Some puppies are shy, others are bold, but all have the potential to be taught healthy socializing skills. It’s a huge part of raising a puppy and must be done carefully. How they interact with other dogs depends largely on how their humans help them learn to.  Social with children?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)Yes… but most puppies are not a great match for a home with kids under age 8 because they go through intense mouthy play and rambunctious phases and often accidentally hurt young kids while playing. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age respectfully.   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 play: High! All puppies go through phases where they chew your stuff and grab your hands, arms, feet… puppies naturally explore the world, play, and test boundaries with their mouths. (It also happens when they’re teething.) Their teeth are super sharp though, so it can be a very painful phase for humans and other animals in the home. Proper training, outlets, and socialization are key. Leash manners:None. :) Will need to learn this skill.   Separation anxiety:MEDIUM: Most puppies have some level of separation anxiety as they learn to self soothe. Often they cry the first 10+ minutes when they are left home alone or in a crate. Consistent training and alone time is crucial. 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.

CLASH - 4 months & 20lbs (as of 1/11), Lab Mix, Spayed Expected Full Grown Size About 60lbs  Their Foster Parent Says: " So far Clash has been sweet and energetic. I would rate her energy level at a manageable medium. She has a nice balance of following you around the house and entertaining herself with kongs, chew toys, balls, etc. She's only 13 weeks and isn't housebroken yet but we take her out regularly and she's already doing well with potty training and learning home boundaries. We're not using a crate and haven't left Clash alone much since my partner and I work from home but Clash is fine while we're working in the space she's made her own. Our daily routine consists of a walk first thing in the morning and Clash quickly became familiar with the process of getting ready and in & out the door, she's a natural! She pulls a bit on the leash and is still getting used to all the noises & surprises of the city but is learning to walk on leash just fine. Clash eats three times a day and we take regular walks around the neighborhood throughout the day to encourage potty training. We take a final walk after dinner Clash naps a bit throughout the day but for the most part she sleeps when we do.We haven't taken Clash to any dog parks and don't have a good sense yet of how she interacts with other dogs but she's more cautious than curious when we encounter other dogs on the street. She's still a bit shy but friendly and receptive to new humans. Clash plays well and is a bit mouthy when she's excited but not more than the average pup. Overall it's been great having Clash, she's sweet, smart and loves to learn."

Riley, born in January or February of 2015 is a tricolor, smooth coat, collie/border collie mix with some brindle markings on his legs. He has experienced 2 failed adoptions. He was adopted from us when he was about 6 months old and was returned to us 3 years later when the male member of the adoptive family, who had Alzheimer’s, became abusive toward him. In time he began developing his self-confidence again and began to lose his fear of men. Even though he was still somewhat leery of men he didn’t know, he would actually seek attention from men with whom he was familiar. He got along well with the dogs in his foster home but he behaved aggressively toward any new foster dog that periodically come in. He is not good with cats as he showed aggression toward the clinic cat at our vet’s office. Riley was adopted a second time, but after a year of trying different techniques to manage Riley’s difficult behaviors his second adopter felt that she could no longer handle him and once again Riley was returned to us. He left us weighing 55 pounds and returned, markedly overweight, at 78 pounds. He is now back to a healthy weight. Riley has had extensive training. He is quite smart and learns quickly. He rides well in a car and walks well on a leash unless he meets a dog while out on the walk, in which case he will pull and act aggressively. Riley is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is being kept on heartworm and flea and tick prevention to maintain his good health. Riley is located in Arkansas. His adoption donation is $415 which includes the $165 transport fee. If you would like to adopt Riley, the first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application, please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in

Breezy has lived with a family, who unfortunately can no longer care for him. Breezy is a handsome gentle guy who is friendly with people, including kids, and dogs of all sizes... and will never turn down a good scratch behind the ears. Breezy is a sensitive pup... exceptionally affectionate. He can quietly play by himself with a toy, and be happy to relax right next to you, give you gentle kisses, stare lovingly into your eyes, and just keep you company. He walks nicely on the leash, is housebroken, snuggly... and thinks he is a lap dog. A very sweet boy. Be sure to complete an application on line and come to our Meet & Greet Saturday 11:30-1:30.If you are interested in this dog, please submit an application directly to our website at www.ny-petrescue.org.
