11/24/25:  I am the newest member of the Smith family, and I couldn’t be happier. Dilly who also came from CRC is my new collie buddy, and little Ruth is my very own baby human. Dad keeps joking that he’s completely outnumbered with all of us girls in the house, but he doesn’t mind one bit. In fact, he spoils us with love, treats, and attention.  Every day feels like a dream. We have so much space to run, explore, and play, and more toys than I ever imagined. I never knew a life could be this full of joy, safety, and love. I’m so grateful to have found my forever home and I can’t wait for all the adventures ahead.

11/14/25:  I’m a one-year-old collie girl, and I’m so grateful to be here at the rescue. As you can see, I’m pretty skinny and my coat hasn’t filled in yet. I came from what they call a backyard breeder. There were many other dogs there, and I feel so sad for the ones who are still waiting to be helped.  Because food was scarce, I tend to gobble mine down quickly, but I’m learning that I’ll never have to worry about that again. I’m on my way to a much better life now, one where a loving family will take care of me.  I’m a sweet, petite little girl who gets along well with the other dogs and doesn’t mind the cats. I’m doing wonderfully with housetraining, crate training, and I’m learning my basic commands and leash walking, too.  I was very good for my first every bath and feel so pretty now.
