Randy - Rough Collie - Adoptable in Saskatchewan

This picture is not really of me, it's of a collie who looks a lot like me. I don't have any photos of me yet to share with you but you will get the idea of what I look like.

My name is Randy and I am looking for a fur-ever home in Saskatchewan. I am 2 years old and I love to play with my toys. I'm a really nice boy who gets along with everyone I meet and I have a tail wag for everybody!

I like other dogs, cats and kids too. I'm just an all-around nice guy. If you have a big fenced yard for me to romp around and play ball in that would be amazing because I love to run and play, that's for sure. I'm told I am "goofy" but it's said in a really nice, loving way so I think that means I'm funny and cute.

I hope you like to give good, long butt scritches because boy oh boy, do I ever love those! I am really affectionate and if you want to be snuggle buddies, well, I can do that too.

My one "issue" is that I don't like to share my food with other dogs or the cats. I will growl at them to tell them, "back off mister, this is mine!" but that is easily worked out because I just get fed in a separate room and then all the bowls get lifted up off the floor when everyone is done. It works really well and everyone is happy.

I will happily share my toys with the other dogs though, it's just the food I'm not willing to share. I like to take my ropes and bones over to the other dogs and try to encourage them to play with me. Fun games like tug-of-war with them is a hoot!

Let's see, I am crate-trained, housetrained, I know my basic obedience and I am a good boy walking on my leash. I like car rides and can come lots of places with you. I think I am a great dog and would love to find a real family to call my very own.

If you think you are my new family can you let the Collie Rescue Network people know at adoption@collierescuenetwork.com today? I'd love to find a home soon. You can also visit the Collie Rescue Network website and read about the adoption procedures and find more information about the rescue.

Marley - Rough Collie - Adoptable in Alberta

HEY! I am Marley and I am so pretty! I am just 18 months old and I love to run and play and bounce around and go, go, go. I have loads of energy which is great if you are an active family who is looking for a sweet, friendly, bouncy girl to join your family!

I love my toys so you'll need to have plenty of those. If you had some kids that would play toys with me, that would be great! My favourite game so far is this: you throw a ball and I run and get it. Then I bring it half-way back and drop it. You grumble something and come pick it up.....and then we do it again. It's hilarious! In the last week I felt sort of sorry for my foster mom and I brought the ball all the way back to her though. She's nice so I thought I'd give her a break.

I really like people of all ages and if they'd like to fawn over me and tell me how very pretty I am, well, that works for me. We can all go for long walkies together and hiking and anything else that would use up some of my spare puppy energy. I used to live outside all the time but I don't have to do that anymore. Did you know inside is warm? Who knew!

I am fairly new to rescue and my foster mom is still learning all about me so once she knows more we'll update the blog. So far they tell me I'm going to get spayed on Monday, which is a good thing because I don't want to have any puppies! Then how would I have time to play and bounce around with you? I'm also going to be micro-chipped so if I ever get lost they will know you are my family and you can come pick me up right away and they are going to make sure I have my vaccinations too.

If you'd like to put an adoption application in for me please visit the Collie Rescue Network website and read about the adoption procedures. You can also email adoption@collierescuenetwork.com for more information about me.

Dante - Sable Rough Collie - Adoptable in Ontario

My name is Dante and I am a 6 year old neutered, male Rough Collie who is in search of my forever home. I am being fostered n Ontario. I was adopted once, almost 4 years ago but now I am back due to a divorce in my adoptive family and no one could keep me.

I am a big boy at 93 lbs but I am not overweight....I'm just enormous. I love to play with other dogs and a new home with a fun-loving doggie buddy would be perfect. We could wrestle and play and chase each other all over the place!

I love kids but older than toddlers would be better as I am bouncy and playful and sometimes I accidentally knock little ones over without meaning to. I'd love some kids to play with though because I really like them (they're so fun!). I am a collie though, a herding breed, remember! That means that when I get overly excite I might nip heels or feet while we play.

A really active, out-going family is right up my ally. We could go hiking and jogging and swimming and camping and...well, anything outdoors and active and fun that I can be included in! I am a really, really good boy and I have excellent obedience skills so taking me places is not going to be a problem.

I like to bark at stuff because, well, I am a collie. Collies, like me, like to let you know when there is stuff happening outside or when someone is at the door. Personally I think I have a beautiful voice and I have things to say so really, it's all good in my world!

I get along wonderfully with dogs, cats, kids, adults, strangers.....I am just an all-around great dog (if I do say so myself). I need plenty of love, affection and attention and I'll be a happy boy. I really just want to be part of the family and everything you do, I can help! I swear! Well, not everything, like making cookies and stuff but I can watch and supervise though. I'd be great at that.

If you think you'd like to adopt me just let the Collie Rescue Network people know at adoption@collierescuenetwork.com and they'll talk to you about me and let you know how to talk to my foster family so they can tell you lots more things about me. Read the adoption procedures at the website too at http://www.collierescuenetwork.com/.

Hope to hear from you soon!
