Grace (Female)
Available
3 Years
Rough Sable and White
39 lbs (underweight)
Fenced yard required
Fostered in Illinois
Don’t let the smooth-like coat fool you. Three-year-old Grace is a sable and white rough collie. Her coat was heavily matted and the shelter decided to shave her before releasing her to our rescue. Although Grace looks good as a smoothie, her beautiful long coat will return in no time. Meanwhile, enjoy her hugs, kisses, and sweet personality.
Little Grace is a sweet and friendly girl. She loves cuddles and giving kisses. She greets strangers by gently jumping on them. She gets along well with the resident cats and two resident collies. She is curious and friendly with the next door neighbors’ dog as well. Grace and the neighbor’s dog jump up on the fence to see each other any chance they get; super cute to watch. Although at times she might be a tad bit pushy towards one of the dogs in the foster home, they both snuggle up for a nap on the couch at the end of the day. When not enjoying the comforts of home, Grace likes running around the yard. She gets bursts of energy and zooms all over the place. This fun girl needs a fenced in yard for sure!

Fostered in SE Michigan
Hey there, my name is Raleigh. I’m a chunky junk food junkie who wants a family to love and a sofa to cuddle on. I recently embarked on a journey that changed my life, and I’m hopeful it ends with me finding the perfect forever home. Let me tell you the best parts of my story.
My whole life I lived in my backyard with my sister, but one day all that changed. A kind person came and took us on an adventure beyond my dreams! We traveled from Missouri to a magical place called Michigan. Here in the land of Michigan dogs get to live in houses. It’s wonderful! The floor is cool and clean to sleep on. There’s this thing called a “couch” and it has soft fluffy pillows. I like to rearrange them for maximum softness and cuddling. I think this must be heaven!

Piper (Female)

1 Years
Rough Sable and White
37 lbs
Fenced yard required
Fostered in Illinois
Piper is a one-year-old girl that is coming out of her shell more and more each day. Full of sweetness and curiosity, this little girl is bit timid and approaches everything with caution. Piper likes to observe everything going on around her before joining in, but she is slowly making progress with her socialization.
Piper wants to be part of the action; she just doesn’t always know how to join in. She will circle around until she feels brave, and then she’ll jump on the couch or plop down on the floor. Piper doesn’t often seek out attention, but when she jumps up on the couch next to you, she soaks up the love and enjoys being petted, and she won’t get up until you move first. Piper will need a family that can be very patient with her and take the time to earn her trust. Piper will do best with another dog in the house.

Princess (Female)
Available
9 Years
Rough Sable and White
47 lbs
Fenced yard preferred
Fostered in Illinois
Princess is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. She came to us after her human had to move to a nursing home. Upon arrival, she was a bit unsure of her new environment and was pacing quite a bit. But it wasn’t long before she began trusting her foster mom and settled in nicely. Princess is now seeking her foster mom’s attention several times a day. She will lean on her foster mom as her way of asking a for pets. Princess enjoys all the affection she can get.
Princess is a velcro dog and prefers to be near her humans in the same room if possible. She will make herself comfortable in one of the dog beds around the house. Princess is also happy napping in the back yard on a nice day.
Princess is a reserved, calm and friendly gal. She is a bit shy with new people until she feels comfortable enough to approach, but is good with strangers. Princess is very well mannered and does not jump on people, and is generally a quiet girl but will bark when she gets really excited. At mealtimes she will spin in circles and bark when she knows her food is coming. Adorable!

Miley (Female)
Adopted
2 Years
Rough Sable-headed White
41 lbs
Fenced yard required
Fostered in Southern WI
Lion-maned Miley has all the courage she needs to conquer every challenge and win your love.
Miley and her sisters grew up in a hoarding situation in Kansas. Thankfully the local shelter liberated them from that miserable situation, but sadly they were so filthy and matted the shelter decided to shave them before turning them over to CRGI—giving Miley the look of a tiny skinny lion. That doesn’t bother this spunky girl, though. She conquers life’s challenges with spirit and joy!
She is a double merle and that genetic condition means she is blind. But don’t feel sorry for her! Despite being blind, Miley sees beauty in every moment of freedom, and love in the heart of every person she meets. Her foster family says she is absolutely fearless like the little lion she resembles. She loves meeting new people, exploring, knows the commands “sit,” “down,” “off,” and her name, goes up and down steps like a champ, learned potty training easily, and she even does great with baths (now that’s brave!) This smart cookie enjoys learning new things, and she dreams of a forever family that would continue the training her foster family has begun.

Molly (Female)
Adopted

Rough Tricolor
55 lbs
Fenced yard required
Fostered in Illinois
Good golly, Miss Molly! Check out this beautiful one-year-old tri-color girl.
Molly is a fun-loving charming dog. Because she is young and is in a new environment, she has some adjusting and learning to do. When she arrived, she’s had a few accidents in the house but house training is going great now! She will sleep in her crate, but she prefers sleeping on the floor in her dog bed. Considerate girl that she is, she will save you the trouble of setting an alarm clock by letting you know in the morning when it’s time to go out.
Molly loves to bark at and chase squirrels and chipmunks. She especially enjoys joining the foster family’s dogs in the yard for a game of chase. In order for Molly to pursue her favorite pastimes, another dog and a fenced in yard are required. A fence is also a necessity because Molly will not relieve herself on a walk. She will only do her business in the yard.

Emma (Female)
Adopted
3 Years
Rough Sable and White
36 lbs (underweight)
Fenced yard required
Fostered in Illinois
Emma may look like a normal purebred collie, but we think she’s also part lovebug and part mountain goat. (*humor*)
Emma’s journey began in a hoarding scenario in Kansas. Despite the early hardships, fate smiled on her when the local shelter stepped in to liberate her and her sisters. Sadly, they were so filthy and matted the shelter decided to shave them before releasing them to CRGI. Sweet Emma’s short and shaggy haircut is starting to grow out, she’s been slowly putting on some much-needed weight, and her spirit has blossomed in foster care. You can already see what a beauty this white factored sable girl will be with a little more good food and love.

Jax (Male)
Adopted
1 Years
Rough Sable Merle
62 lbs
Fenced yard required
Fostered in Illinois
This tail waggin’ affectionate boy is just waiting for someone to love. Jax is a 1.5 year old sweetheart. He is eager to please and loves hanging out with his people. He will gladly reward you with kisses if you scratch his bum.
Jax is friendly, active, and playful. He really enjoys running, chasing and rough-housing with the two youngest resident collies. He would love to have a young canine in his forever home; however, we are not sure how he is with cats. Being a collie, he’s displayed some herding instinct but is not nipping or barking. He’s a typical collie that likes to vocalize but no more or less than any average collie. Jax’s foster home believes that a fenced yard is necessary to keep him safe while he’s playing chase games and goofing around.
