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.

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!
