Watch out! This bandit just might steal your heart. Bandit is a sweet and fun 8-month-old boy. He is happy and friendly to everyone he meets! Even though he is a big boy, he thinks he is still a lap dog. He loves attention, scratches, and snuggles. 

Bandit loves to have fun! He enjoys running around the yard and playing with the resident Australian Shepherd and Husky. Bandit also likes to carry his favorite toys around the house and even likes to curl up with them on the floor. He has not chewed on them yet; he just carries them in his mouth ever so gently. He will also carry shoes and clothing items around the house. He’s learning what’s a toy and what’s not. He will need some supervision before being allowed to roam the house freely while his people are away for extended periods of time.

Terrific Tara is looking for a family. This young girl is easy going, playful, and active. Tara is shy and cautious when she first meets new people but is friendly and happy to see someone once she’s comfortable. Once she gains your trust, this sweetheart loves cuddles and enjoys being petted.

Tara is adjusting to life with her foster family. She can run up and down stairs and enjoys playing and barking with other dogs. She likes to be brushed, so she doesn’t even mind going to the groomer. Tara enjoys walks but needs some training. She can be both nervous and curious. The loud noises of vehicles and new things like bikes can frighten her. She pulls and weaves a bit and stops periodically to look at people and dogs. Tara is house trained and does fine when left alone, so she does not need to be confined to a crate which is good because she does not like being crated.

Playful, sweet and affectionate! That’s how Bree’s foster mom describes this young girl.

At 8 months of age, Bree likes to roughhouse and run around with the resident collie. Being young, she needs to learn proper play manners, and the resident dog is helping with that. She readily takes its corrections when her play becomes too rough. Bree is an exuberant dog, and her joie de vivre can get the better of her. While she’s having fun running around, she will run up and jump on her foster mom with excitement. For this reason, a household without smaller children would fit her best. With her big puppy enthusiasm, she could easily knock youngsters down like bowling pins.

Who hasn’t listened to that Grammy Award Winning song, “Bette Davis Eyes” and not thought of the glamorous Hollywood actress? With her sexy smokey eyes, this Oscar winning beauty was rivaled by none. 

Aptly named, Bette Davis is possibly the most beautiful harlequin collie on the planet and she is ready for her debut. No ordinary home will do for this femme fatale; she will require some patient pampering as she can be a bit melodramatic. Like all divas, Bette often plays coy. Winning her affection can take some work, but the effort is so worth it! Once she’s decided you are worthy, she’ll cuddle up close on the couch and lavish you with love.

Piper is an eight-month-old puppy that is coming out of her shell. Full of sweetness and curiosity, this little girl is also very timid and approaches everything with caution. Piper likes to observe everything going on around her before joining in, but she is slowly making progress with her socialization.

Piper wants to be part of the action, she just doesn’t always know how to join in. She will circle around until she feels brave, and then she’ll jump on the couch or plop down on the floor. Piper doesn’t often seek out attention, but when she jumps up on the couch next to you, she soaks up the love and enjoys being petted, and she won’t get up until you move first. Piper will need a family that can be very patient with her and take the time to earn her trust.

He still has a ways to go but he is coming out of his shell more and more each day. Cowboy seems to like women more than men and his foster mom is working on making him more comfortable around everyone.

Hi, I’m Lizzie and I’m looking for an adventure buddy!

I’d never had any adventures until recently, but I really like them. I used to live outside with my parents, brothers, and sisters, but one day some nice people came and took some of us on a long, long ride to a place called Illinois where I got to meet some more nice people who gave me a bath so I could tell which parts of me are supposed to be white and which parts are actually black. Now that I’m clean, people are always telling me how pretty and fluffy I am, and I love the attention. It was nice there, but kind of boring because I had no one to play with and I really like to play, but then my foster family came and got me and now I have brothers and a sister to play with again and that made me so happy I almost wiggled myself silly!

Introducing the dynamic collie duo of Lucy and Ethel. These lovely ladies came to CRGI together after the passing of their owner and are now looking to live out their senior years together in their forever home.

Lucy and Ethel are well behaved and very affectionate. Ethel, in particular, will bark if she doesn't get petted, and they both are always near their foster mom. Like their eponymous predecessors, they do not like the word "no," and could use a little training to learn some manners. They are not fans of riding in the car and have a hard time settling down. Lucy is able to get into the car on her own, Ethel needs some assistance. The ladies also need to learn how to walk on a leash without zigging and zagging all around.

This puppy boy is ready for fun and adventure. Seven-month-old Sweeney is happy, bouncy, and full of energy. He loves people of all ages, other dogs, walks and car rides, and is always eager to explore. He greets everyone with a play bow just to let them know he wants to run and romp.

Sweeney is both fun loving and a quick learner. He knows how to sit and how to give paw. He’s leash trained and crate trained. He will even bark to let you know when he needs to go outside. He still has to work on house manners a bit as he likes to put his paws on everything, but he is treat motivated and will quickly become a well mannered boy.

Nina is good with people, calm kids, and other dogs. She likes to stay near her foster mom and follow her around. She especially likes having people sit with her. She also likes playing with the other dog in the foster home. Watching Nina run around outside having fun is a joy to behold.

If looks were everything, young Garth already would be the leading man on life’s stage. But he still has some work to do to “learn his lines,”

He’s already learned some things, like life outside his crate isn’t so bad, and how much fun a yard can be, especially with some canine buddies to play with. He’s even made friends with the resident cat. 

Garth has been a bit “over-eager” with soft toys, so hard toys and bones suit him better. He is a great collie brother to his foster siblings and does well as a follower. He has the most confidence when with other dogs and has a great time playing with his two foster collies.

Calling all cuddlers! Galveston is looking for a home that will allow him full access to all safe and warm places… a couch, a pet bed, your lap. He feels most secure around people he has had a chance to connect with, and wants to be held and loved by them every chance he gets. Since he has been with CRGI, this six-month-old puppy has overcome a lot, but he is now ready to spend a cozy winter with his forever family. 

Galveston’s approach to life is to sit back and observe, and when he is comfortable, he will dive in head first to the action happening around him. He is usually content to perch on the couch and watch his foster brothers play and get attention, and he will eventually participate once he feels secure with the people and surroundings. He is cautious when new people come to the house and will often run away and hide in his crate or another safe place. Once he knows you, he won’t hesitate to jump on your lap and watch television (he particularly likes Hallmark movies).
