11/23/15: Now that I’ve finished raising my boys who are all healthy, happy, and ready for their forever families it’s finally my turn to find a home of my own. I’m only two years old, so I’m still a bit of a puppy myself. I’m discovering how wonderful life can be, from doing zoomies in the backyard to playing with my collie buddies. Because I spent so much of my young life focused on being a mama, I never really had the chance to learn all the “big girl” things that other dogs pick up early on. So right now, I’m working on my leash-walking skills and learning how to greet new people politely. It’s honestly a challenge, because I’m a love bug who wants to wiggle right into your arms the moment I see you. I just have so much affection to give that it sometimes spills out all at once! One thing I’m very proud of is that I’m housetrained and crate trained. I don’t really need a crate anymore, but I’m fine with one if you want me to use it. Mostly, I just want to be near you cuddling, napping, watching you, or curling up at your feet. I’m gentle, sweet, eager to learn, and so excited about this brand new chapter of my life.

12/5/25:  I’ve settled right into life here at the Anderson home, like I’ve been part of the family forever. My new little pal Benny is still trying to figure out what exactly just happened, but he’s starting to warm up to me, and we’re already beginning to hang out and explore things together.  I’ve discovered that snuggling with Dad on the couch is one of my new favorite hobbies.  He says he’s not spoiling me, but I think we both know the truth. Between the cozy naps, the treats, and all the love I’m getting, I feel like I’ve landed in the best place I could ever imagine.

11/14:25:  I’m a 2½-year-old proud father of those five handsome puppy boys. I was a good dad and always comforted them when their mom was away. Recently, I had a “special operation,” so my puppy-making days are officially behind me which is probably for the best since I’m still a youngster myself!  I’m a sweet, easygoing fellow who loves getting pets, playing with toys, and hanging out with the other dogs. I’m housetrained and crate trained, and I’m learning loose-leash walking and basic obedience commands. I’m pretty good about not jumping up, and I don’t mind a nice brushing, either.

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.
