Georgie Girl came into rescue after being found running down the streets all fancy free. She had a bad case of flea allergy dermatitis and had lost some fur to it. Her foster home noted that the fur is starting to grow back; Georgie is now sporting a great deal of “peachfuzz.” Her sable color is very red. When all her fur comes in, Georgie girl will be gorgeous girl!

Being around 4 years young, Georgie loves to play. She will play fetch all day if you are willing to sit there. She is a very active girl and will definitely need a fenced yard. In addition to running after a ball, Georgie loves to jump.

Here’s the oldie but the goodie you’ve been waiting for!  For those of you interested in a more mature Collie, meet Brax.  He was surrendered by his original owners after they could no longer care for him.  Brax is still an active playful boy.  He loves playing fetch inside or outside and will bring a toy for you to throw.

Brax also really enjoys walking and does very well on a leash.  He loves to be scratched on his back and is beginning to trust his foster family enough now to allow belly rubs. Brax has good house manners.  He does not jump, chew or counter surf.  He is perfectly reliable left loose in the house and sleeps soundly all night.

Sweet Ginny is a tri-colored two- year-old smooth female who was found running at large with the Harry Potter Five.  They were all in good physical condition, but had little experience with being in a house, or understanding that people can be kind and good.  Little Ginny, though, has a heart yearning for affection, and she returns it ten-fold. Her favorite place to be is by your side, and she loves cuddles.

Gavin is a fun mix of playfulness and snuggles. He likes to run around the yard playing with toys, but then he will come inside and crash on the couch with you and maybe want to cuddle, or he might just take a nap. He really likes naps. 

Gavin is great with other dogs, but what he really wants is to be around people. All. The. Time. Even if it’s just hanging out watching TV, he wants to be by your side. If you leave him alone, he might whine, or he will look for things to keep himself busy, and he’s not always sure which items belong to him. He has been known to poke his head into bags and boxes or jump up on counters, and help himself to whatever strikes his fancy, so supervision and guidance are definitely needed.

All the collies that come to CRGI have stories, but we have to tip our hats to valiant Miss Hermione! Not only did she survive on the streets, but she also sustained a gunshot wound while carrying and protecting five sweet babies within her. Hermione has had a smile and a tail wag for all who have met and helped her since coming to rescue, and she has been a loving mother to her little ones. She truly exemplifies the sweet Collie nature we all love and admire.

Meet lovely Luna, part of the Harry Potter group of smooth collies. Luna is a very gentle girl. She is bit timid at first and can be shy, but once she has a chance to warm up to her people, she is very sweet. She goes into her crate willingly when it’s meal or treat time, and she will sleep there or anywhere that she’s allowed. She has learned to play with toys and she has favorites. Luna walks well on a leash, but she is easily frightened by sudden movements, loud noises, and strangers so it will be important to provide her with confidence building activities and gentle introductions to new people and things. Once she is comfortable with you, Luna loves to be loved!

Looking for the perfect dog? Well, there’s no such thing, but two-year-old Cilian might just be perfect for you!

Cilian was cautious, quiet, and confused when he first arrived, but he quickly came out of his shell upon meeting another dog. He has a knack for figuring out other dogs’ play styles and gets along great with all of the resident collies. He comes alive when playing and even lets out a muffled, deep bark. Generally, he’s not noisy, but when he’s excited he might emit a delightful howl.

Meet Trixie! 

This darling 1.5 year old girl is coming out of her shell and showing her true, sweet and endearing personality.  

It takes her some time to trust, but once Trixie gains your trust she will want to stay near you and enjoy the cuddling and petting you have to offer. Trixie recently discovered the comforts of a couch and loves lounging there when she’s done playing. Her foster mom even found her enjoying herself on a human bed. 

Trixie is a very sweet girl that needs a lot of confidence building activities and slow, continuous socialization. Guiding her through these stress reducing lessons will be made easier since Trixie is food motivated and will gladly sit for a yummy treat. Leash walking is going GREAT and she likes her daily walking routine; she however gets nervous when her routine is changed or when she is exposed to new sounds and new situations.

Say hello to Nyx the nudger! This 3-year-old boy will nudge your elbow for pets whenever you sit down at a table. He came to our rescue as an owner surrender and, after a full vetting and evaluation, he is ready to find his forever family.

He is very people-oriented and wants nothing more than to be with you. Nyx follows his foster parents through the house wanting to be wherever they are.

Ryder is a sweet and sensitive 2-year-old dog that has a lot of distrust in humans. He will need a patient and experienced adopter to help him learn that humans are good. He’s very cautious and a bit nervous when meeting new people but will let you pet him eventually, especially when treats are involved and he’s established his trust in you.

This young boy is food motivated. His foster home has already started some training and taught him “watch me” (which helps build trust and a bond) and “touch” (which builds confidence). But mostly, the foster has been working on getting Ryder comfortable with human interaction and building trust. He is very eager to learn!

Meet Hazel, the Big Beautiful Collie of Collie Rescue!  A tall sable and white, carrying her 73 lbs with head held high, Miss Hazel is a girl looking for a good time family who will celebrate all the enthusiasm she has for life.

At just two years of age, this zaftig sweetheart has never met a stranger and greets everyone with a wagging tail and Collie kisses.  She can be a bit forward with her affection, and so might not be good for those families with younger children, but 10 years old and up, well, she'd be over the moon!  Hazel walks nicely on a leash and is pretty bomb-proof as far as neighborhood noises go - she knows sit, and down and has no problem staying in a crate to sleep and eat.

Meet Bonnie, a friendly girl that loves to meet new people. At first, you might think that she’s a little shy, but within minutes, she will start to show you how fun and lovable she is.

Bonnie’s favorite thing to do is play fetch. Whether it’s inside or outside, she’s always up for a round. Usually, she will bring a toy to whomever she wants to play with, but she will also get excited when you initiate and throw the toy first. If you ever get the chance to meet her, try throwing a ball or toy to her. It is more than likely that she will catch it her mouth and then bring it back to you for more. She also likes to play with other dog toys; soft toys are for fetch, hard toys are for chewing on her own. Bonnie gets along with the resident dogs. She would love to play with them more, but she doesn’t always know how to initiate, and tends to badger them rather than play. She would be fine in a home with other dogs, but she would also do well as an only dog, due to how much she loves human attention.

Minnie is a beautiful and loving 3-year-old Collie. Much of her life was spent outside and unfortunately, she contracted heartworm. But that is all behind her now.  She completed the difficult 4-month treatment and is now officially heartworm free!  As a result, she has blossomed into a more playful and happier dog.

Minnie is enthusiastic to meet new people and everyone who meets her is smitten.  She has a calm, gentle nature. Kids are automatically drawn to her, and she loves them. She also loves receiving ear and snoot rubs. Wherever her foster mom and Golden Retriever foster brother are is where she wants to be. Lying outside on the deck and in the yard is also enjoyed, especially in the cooler weather.

Levi is a young guy with young guy energy. That’s not to say that he can’t chill out and relax on his belly froggy style. It’s just that we are sure, given his youthful vigor, that he would enjoy an obedience class, an agility class, or some other kind of activity. Sometimes
