Story
Meet Kansas, a beautiful Rough Collie in search of her true forever home. Originally purchased from a breeder, Kansas was rehomed when her first family's older dog struggled to accept her as a puppy. She then found a loving home, but unfortunately, her family is moving and unable to take her along. Wanting the best for Kansas, they reached out to our rescue for help. Now in foster care, Kansas is living with her two foster parents and their two dogs, with regular visits from the grandkids. She’s proven to be incredibly friendly, does well meeting new people and dogs, and was just cat-tested—showing no interest even when the cat hissed and arched its back. We believe she could co-exist with a cat and would thrive with a young, playful dog companion. Kansas is an active, intelligent pup who needs an equally active family. She is not a city or condo dog—she will do best in a home with space to run and play. She would do best in a home with a yard and a playmate to match her energy. We checked in with her foster mom, Cindy, for a 3-week update: "Kansas has settled in so nicely. It took her about two or three weeks to truly feel at home. The first few days, she paced around the house, unsure of her new surroundings. She was friendly but not fully engaged. Now, she follows me around, loves to lay by my feet, and enjoys belly rubs and ear scratches. She’s also discovered the joy of playing with her toys! Her new family just needs to be patient and give her time to build trust—once she does, she’s an amazing companion. She needs an active family—someone who will take her walking or hiking daily. She’s fantastic in the car, loves outdoor adventures, and could easily walk for miles. She meets new people and dogs beautifully and wants to play with everyone she meets. I think having another young, playful dog in the home would be ideal for her. I’ve been setting up playdates with our neighbor’s young dog at least once, sometimes twice a day, and Kansas lights up with joy every time. During the day, she’s energetic, but she does wind down at night. She’s fully housetrained, has no destructive tendencies, and sleeps freely with the other dogs. Kansas is truly a wonderful dog who just needs the right home to thrive!" ******* If you’re looking for an adventurous, loving companion, Kansas could be the perfect match! Apply today!
