6/5/25:  Hello friends, I’m a one-year-old collie boy weighing about 65 pounds. Life hasn’t been very kind to me so far.  I spent my early days in a fenced area with several other dogs and hardly any human interaction. Because of that, I’m still a little shy around people, but I’m starting to learn what it feels like to be safe, cared for, and loved.  My coat is pretty matted right now, but I have a grooming appointment scheduled for next week. It will feel so good to get those mats out and let my skin breathe again. After that, I’ll be heading to the vet for my vaccinations and neuter.  I’m a work in progress and beginning a brand-new chapter. Please check back for updates as I continue to grow and heal.
