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.

Leroy - Collie Mix - Adoptable in Ontario

I'm Leroy and everyone says I am cute as a button. Sometimes they say "cute as a bug" too which is just weird! Regardless of how they say it, I know I'm pretty darn cute. I think it's because I have the sweetest eyes and the cutest funny little ears.

I am around 1 1/2 years old and I was a stray that no one came to claim so I ended up in a shelter. Then the shelter called Collie Rescue Network and they came to pick me up and now I live in a foster home and I'm loving that. I have two other dogs to play with and some older kids and everything. In my foster home there are toys and places called "crates" that are so comfy and safe.

I'm a super nice boy who would love to find a fur-ever family who is active and goofy, just like me. I am young, remember, so I still act sort of like a puppy with lots of energy and loads of love to spread around. I'm going to obedience classes with my foster mom and I'm learning lots of new things. I'm so smart that way though.

If my new family had a nice, friendly, laid-back dog for me to romp around the yard with that would be wonderful. I'm neutered and I've been to the vet for my vaccinations and my check-up and I was such a good boy there. My foster family gave me a bath and I was so well-behaved for that too even though everyone knows dogs like being dirty (humans are crazy like that...clean this, clean that!). Oh well, they said I smelled great afterwards and I guess that's a good thing.

I just came to rescue about a week ago so my foster family is still learning things about me as we go along. When they say they know more they said we can come back here and update some things so everyone will want to adopt me (I think everyone already would because I am just such a nice boy but they say we'll wait to get to know me better and since they won't give me the password for the blog I guess we'll have to do it that way).

Brie - Smooth Collie - Adoptable in Ontario

My name is Brie and I am a 9-year-old Smooth Collie who would really love to find my very own fur-ever home. I am a very sweet girl who is very active for my age and likes to play and romp around the yard with the other dogs in my foster home. I'm good with cats and older children.

I would love to find a home where someone will see just how special I am and really love me and my sweet, gentle personality. I love to be told how pretty I am and be doted on. If you can give me loads of rubs and pets and hugs that would be heaven because I am a very affectionate gal.

I had an accident when I was little, my face was hit by a car, so I am blind in one eye but you would never know it since my other eye works just fine. I need someone to wipe my blind eye with a nice warm cloth once a day and I am so good when you do it; I stand there and be very patient because it doesn't hurt at all and it only takes a few seconds each day.

If you are looking for a well-behaved, loving, sweet girl...well, here I am. I walk nicely on my leash and we could go for walks together every day. Then, when we get home, we can curl up on the couch together and watch a movie (maybe Lassie? I heard that's a good one!). I know all my basic obedience and I listen exceptionally well. My foster mom says I am just an all-around great dog who would fit into just about any home because I am so gentle and undemanding. If you offer my love and affection I will return it one hundred times over.

If you want to adopt me you can let the Collie Rescue Network people know at adoption@collierescuenetwork.com. You can visit the Collie Rescue Network website to read about the procedures for adoption too.

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.

Duke - Collie Mix - Adoptable in Ontario

I am Duke, a 1-2 year old collie/shepherd mix (maybe, no one told me for sure but that's what I think I am so there ya go). I'm pretty sure I should be a lap dog and if you like we can cuddle on the couch while I give you kisses and you can tell me how cute I am. *sigh* That would be great!

I'm a great boy who loves people and really likes to play with other dogs so if you have a young, bouncy, fun dog I can play with all the time, that would be great too. Then after playing with the dog, you and me can do the couch snuggle thing some more!! Doesn't that sound so fun!?!

If you are an active family who wants to play with me lots, maybe have some older kids who think throwing the ball in the yard and playing "run as fast as we can" would be fun, well, I am your boy.

I am sad to say I don't love to travel in the car though. It makes me kind of, well, sick to my stomach. I'm not sure if I'm just not used to it and I've heard that gravol works for dogs who get car sick so maybe we can try that. I hope no one thinks this is a reason not to adopt me. I'd be so sad if that were the case because I can't tell you enough how great I am. I am a really just an all-around amazing boy who is a great family dog. I'd be so much fun and I can even teach you things like 'Doggie Snuggles' and 'Big Dogs can be lap dogs too'.

Oh, I know what would be fun! We should attend obedience classes together. We'd bond that way really well, I would know exactly what you expect of me and I am so smart I could show up all the other dogs in the class!

If you are a fun-loving family who thinks I might be the dog for you, please let Collie Rescue Network know at adoption@collierescuenetwork.com. You can also read the website for information on what the adoption procedures are at http://www.collierescuenetwork.com/.

I'll go get my toys and wait for you!

Shine - Smooth Collie - Adoptable in Ontario

Am I the cutest senior you have ever seen? I am an 11 1/2 year old Smooth Collie who would truly love to find my fur-ever home. I'd like to retire with someone who will love me and want me to be happy for the rest of my days. I am in good health and active for an older guy but I'd like a home with few stairs if possible (I, like lots of older dogs, have slight arthritis in my back end that I take medication for).

I am a very well-adjusted boy who might be a little set in my ways but frankly lots of that is just show (when I pretend I can't hear you, just show me a cookie and suddenly I Can Hear! I Can Hear!.....I'm goofy that way).

I like other dogs, cats and people and enjoy pretty much anyone's company. I'd love to find a nice relaxing home where someone is home full-time to watch TV with, putter around in the garden with, go for short walks a few times a day with and just generally hang out together. I'd be a really happy guy if we could just spend time together and you could pat my sweet collie head as you walk past. I'll monitor the front window and door for you in return and I will love you loads too.

Let the Collie Rescue Network people know if you are interested in providing me with a warm, loving retirement home. They can be reached at adoption@collierescuenetwork.com. You can also read about how to adopt me at www.collierescuenetwork.com.

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!
