8/15:24:  Today is the best day of my life and I’m going home with Barb and Lou.  They drove all the way to the rescue just to meet me and take me home.  I was a good boy all the way and we all took a nap when we got home.  Can I tell you they love me already and I am a member of the family now.  I am getting so many pets and butt scratches, and I love it all.  It sure was worth waiting for the Mitas to take me home and thanks to all that helped to make this possible for me.

 

6/16/24:  I have learned so many things here at the rescue and doing great with my training.  They can no longer call me Fluffy because the groomer brushed out all my undercoat.  I have become the sweetest guy that enjoys being hugged and petted.  I have also learned that hands do not always have treats in them and doing well with the mouthing.  I don’t have an aggressive bone in my body but like to chase the cats when they run.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4/18/24:  I went for my neuter and that is enough surgery for me.  I am learning all kinds of things here and at my age don’t have much of an attention span.  We are working mostly to learn that mouthing hands is inappropriate.  So it looks like I am ready for my new home if you are looking for a sweet, young man.

3/5/24:  A little update on me.  Went to the vet for my neuter and when getting ready for my surgery they found a staph infection on my belly.  Now I have to wait until it clears to be neutered. 

2/4/24:  I am a 1 year old collie fellow at 60 pounds.  I was advertised on the internet and they let me come to the rescue.  When I was born my nostrils were partially closed so at 11 weeks I had surgery to open them.  So if my nose looks a bit odd that is why.  When I arrived my coat was really matted and some of it had to be shaved.  I am a sweet, loving fellow and having no problem with the housetraining.  I am also crate trained and learning basic commands and leash walking.  I am great with the other dogs and ok with the cats but I do like to chase them.  Please check back to see how I am doing and what is next for my medical needs.

Thank you Kathy Lindsey, Vincent Binek, Thomas McFall, Valerie Rothbauer, Joel Kane and Lizabeth Meyer for helping with my medical needs.

 

 

8/17/24:  I am the first to leave and joining the Hyatt home.  This is my new pal, Holmes in the picture and we are perfectly content being together.  He will teach me the things a puppy needs to learn as I grow up.

 

 

 

8/13/24:  Ten week old sable and white puppy boy.

8/17/24:  I have fit right in here at the Cooley home and look at my new pals.  The fellows welcomed me with open paws and showing me all around.  This is the perfect home for me and so happy to be here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I weigh about 50 pounds and will be 1 year old next month.  I am at the rescue because my owner didn’t want me anymore.  I am housetrained, crate trained, good in the car and on the leash.  I get along great with the other dogs and don’t mind the cat.  Here at the rescue I am learning basic commands and how to be a good boy.
