10/30/25:  I was such a good boy for my grooming today! It might have been the very first time I’ve ever had a real, thorough brushing, and wow there was hair everywhere! I feel so much lighter and more comfortable now that all that loose fur is gone. The groomer said I looked very handsome afterward, and I have to agree!

10/19/25:  I’m a handsome six-year-old Collie gentleman with a big heart and, well, a little extra padding at around 80 pounds. My new friends say I’m on the “get healthy” plan, so I’m watching my portions and taking more walks until I reach my ideal weight. Despite my size, I move with the signature Collie grace and charm!  Personality-wise, I’m the total package. I’m friendly with kids, get along wonderfully with other dogs, and even have a soft spot for cats. I just love being part of the family and hanging out with everyone. I’m also quite the gentleman, fully housetrained, easy on the leash, and always up for a nice car ride.  I’ll be getting a much-needed grooming on Wednesday, and once all this extra fluff is brushed away, I’ll look (and feel) much lighter and even more handsome. My previous person loved me very much but had to move in with family and, sadly, couldn’t take me along. So now, I’m hoping for a new forever home where I can share my gentle spirit, loving heart, and joyful companionship every day.

11/1/25:  I finally made it to my new home with the wonderful Pirooznia family, and I did so well on the drive! We stopped once along the way to stretch our legs and take a short walk, but I slept peacefully for most of the trip. When we arrived, I was full of curiosity and excitement and trotted around exploring every corner of the house, taking in all the new sights and smells.  This is my new buddy, Blu. We look so much alike that we could almost be twins, except Blu is a Sheltie! He’s been such a great host, showing me around and making me feel right at home. The best part? He invited me up on the couch right away.  As you can see, I’ve already settled in beautifully. I feel safe, happy, and so loved. I can tell this is the beginning of a wonderful new chapter, and I can’t wait to see what adventures await me with my new family and my pal Blu.

10/19/25:  I’m a sweet three-year-old Collie girl weighing 55 pounds, just the right size for both playtime and snuggles! I’m fully housetrained, love my crate (especially with my favorite toy inside), and I’m great on leash walks and car rides. I get along wonderfully with other dogs, and even cats.  I already know several commands like “sit,” “come,” “paw,” and “go potty,” and I’m eager to learn more. Sometimes I forget I’m not a tiny dog and love to curl up in your lap for extra cuddles.

10/31/25:  I am so happy to share that I’m the newest member of the Wood Family! It was a long ride home, but I was such a good traveler the whole way. This little dog named Daisy is my brand-new sister! She’s adorable, and I really hope we’ll become the best of pals once we get to know each other better.  My new family has big plans for me and I’m going to train to become a therapy dog! That sounds like the perfect job for me because I love people and want to make them smile. But first, I’ll be going to school to learn everything I need to know to do my job well. I can already tell I’m going to be very loved and cared for here. My heart is full, and I can’t wait to start this wonderful new chapter with my amazing family.

9/26/25:  Hi friends! I grew up in the country with lots of acres to run on. One day my curious paws took me onto a neighbor’s land and yikes, he shot me right in the behind. My person didn’t have a car or the money to get me to the vet, but thankfully Collie Rescue swooped right in and saved me. The very next day I had a little surgery and now I’m all patched up and feeling good as new.  I’m about 3 years old, weigh around 70 pounds, and I’m just a big happy guy. I walk nicely on a leash, I’m learning my basic commands, and I really do love everyone, dogs, cats, and people too. I’m crate trained, doing great with housetraining, and I’ve got a beautiful red coat that’s about to get spruced up at the beauty shop. After that, I’ll be heading back to the vet for my neuter.
