Story
I have two dogs as you can see from the pictures, one male and one female. I'm an older man recently widowed and just can't handle them. They have way too much energy for me. They're good dogs just a bit too energetic. They were trained on pee pads when we got them and I've just not been able to break them from that. I really would like them to stay together as they have never been separated since birth. I just really hope I can find them a good loving home. They are going to be two years old in April

Story
Available 3 Years 74 lbs https://www.collierescue.org/DogDetails.aspx?id=2024-045 Fostered in SE Michigan Fenced yard required Hi, it’s me Pauly! I told my foster mom that I wanted to talk to you myself. It’s MY forever home that we’re talking about! The best way to describe me is a sweet cuddle bug. Everyone who meets me comments on how beautiful I am. They’re not wrong! Like most Collies, I like being near my people and receiving affection. Right now, I live with my foster Golden brother, and I adore him. We like to wrestle and play chase in the backyard. I also like to play fetch, chew bones, and have my belly rubbed. Chasing cats is fun too, so I probably shouldn’t live with one. Meeting new people and dogs is so exciting. I am really a friendly guy. However, I do pull and bark on leash when I see other dogs. My family is working on this with me. I would love to have another playmate and confident dog in my forever home. Because I am so fast, I need a fenced back yard. Agility could be in my future one day. A quiet household where my family is home a lot of the time would suit me best. I know several commands, am very smart and food motivated. My mom says I need someone who is gentle and patient with me as I gain confidence. If you could be my forever home, please fill out an application. https://www.collierescue.org/DogDetails.aspx?id=2024-045

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Prancer! Hi, I’m Prancer, and my name fits me perfectly—I love to prance around with my foster siblings (both human and canine)! I was born in December, which makes sense because I’m part of Santa’s Reindeer Litter. I’m expected to be a large breed dog since my mom is primarily Pit Bull and Pointer, but my dad is unknown. Even so, I’m one of the smaller pups in my litter! I have the best mix of playful energy and snuggly sweetness. I love romping around outside, going on walks (so many smells!), and then curling up for a cozy nap. I like to take in all the exciting sights around me on walks—kids on bikes, birds in the sky, you name it! I’m doing great with potty training (I get treats every time I go outside—best part of the day!) and learning to walk on a leash. While I currently live with both a large breed male and female, whom I love, my foster mom says that in general, she prefers forever homes with opposite-gender dog pairings since they tend to do best. But if you’ve got a submissive female, that would totally work too! I don't live with a cat right now, but I've met several and am just curious about them. They don't let me get too close though. I just want to be friends! Of course, I’d also be happy soaking up all the attention as the only pet. I enjoy belly rubs, don’t mind having my ears and feet touched, and ride fine in the car (though I’d prefer to sit in your lap). I love my humans, but I also like to follow the big dogs in my foster home if given the choice. Wherever they go, I go. Unless I'm snuggled up with my foster mom and napping of course. I’ve had the best time in my foster home, but I’m ready for my forever family! Could that be you? Apply today, I can't wait to meet you!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All animal breeds and ages are a best estimate April 2, 2025, 10:48 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Hi, I'm Vixen! I'm a sweet and sassy medium-energy pup on the search for my forever home. I may have been the runt of my litter, but I make up for it with personality and love! My mom is a mix of Pit Bull and Pointer, and while my dad is a mystery, I’ll likely be a large breed when I’m all grown up. Even though my siblings are bigger, I’ve stayed petite—and I don’t let that slow me down! I’m a little mischief-maker who loves carrying sticks twice my size, chasing the white tip on the end of my tail, and sneaking off with shoes and stuffed animals for a game of chase! But when playtime is over, I’m happiest curled up in your lap, soaking up all the love. I’m not very mouthy, and do well with the small hoomans in my house. They’re super fun! I’m already crate trained, I know how to sit, and I’m doing great with potty training as long as I’m taken out regularly. I can be a little shy when meeting new people, so I’ll need a patient adopter to help me build confidence and continue socializing.  I currently live with one small male dog, one extra-large male dog, and one spicy large female dog. I love all of them, but they seem to get annoyed with me. It’s not my fault they’re old and grumpy—I just want to cuddle! My foster mom says opposite-gender adult dogs tend to work best in multi-dog homes, so to set me up for success now and in the future, she’d prefer I go to a home with a male dog, a submissive female, or no other dogs. I also live with a cat and think he’s fun, but as I grow, I might develop a natural prey drive depending on what I inherit from my mom. If my new family plans to introduce cats later in my life, they should keep that in mind to make sure it’s the right fit! Most of all, I’m a total “velcro dog”—I love being close to my people and making them happy. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will always be by your side, I might just be your perfect match! &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All animal breeds and ages are a best estimate April 2, 2025, 11:55 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Dancer! Dancer was born into the rescue on December 16, 2024, alongside her siblings (Dasher, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, and Cupid). A DNA test revealed that their mom is primarily Pit and Pointer, with some Boerboel and Lab mixed in. We don’t know who dad was, but we anticipate this litter will be large breed. Based on her littermates, we suspect there may be some Boxer in the mix—just a guess, though! Dancer is on the smaller side compared to her siblings, and we estimate she’ll be around 60 pounds as an adult. Dancer currently knows how to sit and is working on potty training. She’s smart and high-energy, likely drawing from the Pointer in her mom! She can be timid in new environments and around large dogs, so continued socialization with positive reinforcement will be key to helping her grow into a confident adult. Once she warms up, she’s a wild child—sprinting around trying to keep up with the big dogs in the house. She also loves to cuddle with both her people and her dog friends. She isn’t a fan of the cold and prefers to wear a sweater unless it’s above 60 degrees (her foster mom and she are one and the same in that regard). As a general best practice, we prefer opposite-gender dogs in her forever household and plans to continue training due to her breed mix and estimated large adult size.  Dancer has been dewormed and has received all of her age-appropriate vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting/adopting Prancer, please apple and we will be in touch!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All animal breeds and ages are a best estimate March 22, 2025, 9:53 pm
