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.
