3/7/26:  I’ve happily joined the Smallin household, where I’m the only gentleman among three lovely collie girls and two wonderful human ladies. As you can imagine, being the only male means I’m destined to be quite spoiled! I’ve already decided that lap dog life suits me perfectly, and I’m getting very good at those irresistible sad puppy-dog eyes.  Jean and Anita have shared their lives with many collies over the years and have a wealth of experience, so I know I’m in the very best hands. With so much love, attention, and excellent care waiting for me here, it’s clear that I’ve truly hit the jackpot.

3/2/26:  The rescue staff estimate my age to be around three years old. I came into their care after my breeder passed away, and I’ve been making great progress since. I recently visited the groomer to have my mats removed, and I was neutered this week. I’m currently working on basic commands and loose-leash walking. I’m crate trained, doing well with housetraining, and I get along with other dogs. The cats are comfortable with me too. I’m a gentle, sweet-natured boy looking forward to learning and growing in a new home.
