Meet Rocky, despite his name, he is more of a lover than a fighter. Rocky loves his people! His foster Mom says he loves to follow her around the house wherever she goes. 

He likes other dogs too but really just wants to be around his human.  Rocky is great with meeting new people and does very well in social settings. He has been tested in nursing homes and was quite popular!

Hello!  My name is Zoey.  I am a young, happy, curious collie looking for my forever family. I’m only a year old, but I have been learning a lot and having a good time.  Whether it is having a blast in the snow, running around with my doggy foster siblings, or just getting cuddles, I’m enjoying life.

My foster mom says I’m a goofball, but I can be serious too, and I’m super smart.  I’m totally housebroken, I’ve learned how to walk on a leash and I can ride nicely in a car.  I love to be petted, but after I get some love, I also like to go off and be on my own.

Howdy Y’all! I am Buddy and I came to CRGI from down South. I am quite the southern gentleman.

I’m also a survivor! When I arrived to Collie Rescue I was full of heartworms. Luckily, my new Midwestern family took me in and fostered me through my entire heartworm treatment!

My foster family says I am healthy enough to finally go to my furever home and, although I will miss them dearly, I am looking forward to even more happy moments in my second chance at life!

In most cases, we know very little about each dog. Once we feel we have learned enough we will update their profile. The dog then will be listed as "Available" for adoption.

January update:
Logan is new to our program. It appears that Logan had a rough life up until now. 

He is learning about new people and sounds. Logan's foster mom is reporting that he is starting to enjoy petting. He will gently touch her hand with his nose asking for petting, let his foster mom pet him and when the petting stops, he does it again and again.

Please check back later for more updates.

January update:

Holly is new to our program. It appears that she spent her life with other dogs but not a lot of interaction with new people. She's learning to trust and making very good progress with her foster family. She looks up to her foster mom for guidance and comes for petting. Holly is such a sweet and gentle girl who will follow you around once she gains your trust.

Holly will require patience and confidence building. We feel that Holly would feel most secure with a calm family that has a fenced yard and another friendly dog.

Hello I’m Pickles! I am a rough collie looking for my forever home along with my sister Scout (but more about her later.) We are a bonded pair and who couldn’t ask for a cuter duo!

I am just as sweet as my name suggests and am a very good girl too. My foster Mom says I am great left alone and am also housebroken. I am fantastic with kids of all ages and I love my humans more than anything! I love to snuggle and sleep with my Foster Mom. When she gets up I move to her spot and hog all the pillows. I like being brushed, enjoy car rides, and I walk well on a leash! It’s going to be hard not to fall in love with me...however, every pickle has a little vinegar and there are some things you should know before adopting me.

SCOUTing for a new family member? How about two? My name is Scout and I am looking for a furever home for me and my sister Pickles. We are a lovely bonded pair of rough collies would love a new beginning!

I am the leader of the two and always there to protect you from strange people, dogs, birds or what have you day or night. You can sleep well knowing I am always on duty and will alert you.

I am not shy and really enjoy meeting new people of all ages and dogs too! I do well on a leash though I love investigating all the beautiful smells around me. I am pretty outgoing but always gentle.

Sam says, "Go big or go home!" In human language we think he means "I am a big beautiful collie weighing 93 pounds and I am looking for my forever home!"

Everyone please meet Sam, a loving velcro collie who is searching for affection and new best friends! Sam would love a home where there are other collies for him to play with. He is not a big fan of toys but more of a fan or romping around and playing with other dogs. He is great with his humans and good with kids 10 and up. If he wants attention you will be the first to know, he likes to give a gentle paw or nose bump to say "Hey, I'm here" even if he is a bit shy at first.

Beauty is my middle name but my first is Shiloh! I am a gorgeous 7 yr old rough collie female weighing in at a slender 56 lbs and I am looking for my forever home! I am playful and love children but have been known to gently herd them with my snout now and then.

I love to sleep next to my humans at night and cuddling with them during the day. I am also crate trained though a crate is not my favorite thing. My foster Dad says I'm house broken and can be trusted in the house.

Looking for a little love in your life? How about your very own Harlequin, collie that is!

Lester is very well mannered and loves children and dogs of all ages. Though always happy to see you, this gentleman will not jump up and has very nice manners! He loves to play and will engage other dogs for a fun game of tug-o-war or he may bring you a toy and want some one on one time! His foster Mom says one of the most adorable things about Lester is the excitement he shows when getting a new toy!

Buster's foster family fell in love! They will be adopting him. We are so happy for Buster!

Hello World, I'm Buster! I am a unique and handsome looking collie mix with a personality to match! I am told I am about 60 lbs and 13 years of age but really I act like a much younger dog!

When I run, I gracefully leap through the air and I have a very playful side too! Don't get me wrong, I also enjoy long afternoon naps and though I can jump onto the sofa all by myself, at times you can see my age. Did I mention the sofa is my favorite place to sleep?
I LOVE being with my people and love humans of all ages, I get along great with all my doggy foster brothers and although I am very highly food motivated I have shown no food aggression. My foster Dad calls ma a California dog because I love to surf...ummm counter surf that is! Really I am a Midwest dog at heart!

Please meet Parker!

Parker is a sweet and gentle collie that came to us from a commercial breeding situation.
He gets along well with other animals (cats and dogs) and is truly enjoying his new indoor life. Parker’s favorite thing is sleeping at his foster Mom’s feet. This silly boy usually prefers to nap with his feet straight up in the air! Parker follows his foster Mom all around the house and likes to stay nearby.

Are you looking for a total love bug? If so, please look no further! My name is Sammy a.k.a. Smilin' Sammy!

I am an 12 yr old sable rough collie who is completely adorable! I love my people more than anything but also get along with other dogs. My foster Mom says I should be the only dog in the home because though I make doggie friends easily I kind of have NO boundaries!

Jasper is 9-10 year old neutered sable rough Collie. But don't let his age deter you, he plays like a puppy at times. Jasper is very well behaved at home. Jasper's foster mom lets him roam the house when she is gone. When he is alone, he doesn't get into anything nor has he ever had an accident in the house. Jasper is housebroken and great with other animals. 

He is currently living with 4 cats that he adores, but he loves meeting other dogs on walks. Jasper would do well in a house with either another cat or dog as a companion. Despite his affection towards other animals, Jasper is a people pleaser. Jasper always likes to be by his foster mom's side and in the room that she is in. He does like to lounge on the couch and rest his head on his foster mom's lap. When she isn't petting him, he lets her know by a gentle nudge and/or paw tap.

Let's hope the New Year brings new hope to this sweet girl Colla! 

Colla is a young 5.5 month old tri headed white rough collie who is in looking for a specific family. 
Colla was brought to us as an owner surrender. She gets along great with other dogs and loves to run and play with them. And she’s got a lot of energy. Colla was bit unsocialzed with people when growing up so she gets startled easily by new people and new places. But given some time she warms up to her humans and likes to be nearby. Colla will need a patient and understanding family who is willing to help her come out of her shell.

Meet Dexter, a gentleman by all accounts!

Dexter is a sweet smooth collie mix who has a great personality and manners to boot. He is roughly 3 years old and gets along well with children and most other animals including the resident cats. Since Dexter has been in his foster home, his foster mom has reported he has had no accidents and is housebroken.

Dexter is so well behaved that his foster mom trusts him now to have a free reign of the house for short periods of time. He was bit hesitant at first to get in and out of the car but not anymore, he rides well in a car, does well on a leash and, did we mention, he is not a big barker! About the only thing Dexter is picky about is the pesky hairdryer at the groomers, and who can blame him.
