Fostered in Illinois

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.

Bonnie (Female)

Rough Mahogany Sable
62 lbs
Fostered in Illinois
Fenced yard required
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.

Fenced Yard Required
Fostered in SW Missouri (Springfield area)
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.

Grace (Female)
Adoption Pending
3 Years
Rough Sable and White
45 lbs
6 foot fenced yard required
Fostered in Illinois
Grace is a three-year-old sable and white rough collie. Her coat was heavily matted and the shelter decided to shave her before releasing her to our rescue. Since then, her beautiful long coat has grown back nicely.
Grace is a sweet, fun and friendly girl. She loves cuddles and giving kisses. She greets strangers by gently jumping on them. She gets along well with the resident cats and two resident collies. She is curious and friendly with the next door neighbors’ dog as well. Grace and the neighbor’s dog jump up on the fence to see each other any chance they get; super cute to watch. She can easily climb over a 4 foot fence to check what's going on on the other side and for this reason a 6 foot fence is required for this curious girl! Although at times she might be a tad bit pushy towards one of the dogs in the foster home, they both snuggle up for a nap on the couch at the end of the day. When not enjoying the comforts of home, Grace likes running around the yard. She gets bursts of energy and zooms all over the place. This fun girl needs a fenced in yard for sure!

Fostered in Southern WI
Fenced yard required
Meet Bowie, an 1-year-old boy who is full of life and energy.
Bowie is a smart boy and a quick learner. He is very treat motivated and is therefore pretty easy to train. He is quick to learn new commands and already knows sit, stay, and come. He will even ring a bell to go outside! Not only does he let you know when it’s time to go out, he will also let you know when it’s dinner time. Foodie that he is, he likes his meals served in a timely manner, but he’s a good boy and will politely sit and wait. At bed time, he goes to his bed and is trustworthy during the night. Just make sure you put your socks away.
Bowie is a sweet, young boy that's lacking confidence. His ideal forever home would be one that will take him to training and work with him on confidence building activities. A family that will provide structure, consistency and appropriate training is what he needs. Bowie is a Velcro dog; he loves to be talked to and cuddled with. He has quickly bonded with his foster mom.

Cindy Lou (Female)

Rough Tricolor

Fostered in SE Michigan
Fenced yard required
Cindy Lou is a bit famous in our rescue. She is one of two collie puppies that came to us with a life threatening heart defect called Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). Cindy Lou had her heart repaired by the cardiologists at Michigan State University and has made a great recovery. She will need a final heart echocardiogram to complete her care which will be covered by CRGI.
Cindy Lou is a very happy and sweet girl who loves to snuggle and hang out with her people. She can be talkative at times but her foster mom is trying to teach her to use her "Inside Voice". She has been around other dogs and cats and of course is great with all. She rides great in the car as well. Cindy Lou would do well in a home that isn't too boisterous only because she's a princess and a busy household is bit overwhelming for her at times. We also feel Cindy Lou needs some obedience training to help finish building her confidence especially in new situations.

It's me, Dalton! I told my foster mom that I wanted to talk to you, myself - I mean, it's MY forever family we are looking for, and shouldn't I get to help???
So, I'm five months old now, and am doing super great! I had that heart surgery for my PDA awhile ago, and every time the vets see me for my shots and stuff they say if they hadn't been told I had surgery, they'd never guess I'd had PDA - that's how strong my lil' ticker is!
Me, Dalton, I thought PDA stood for Public Display of Affection and that's what I'm here to tell you - I'm all about that 'affection' thing, and am ready to give you some!

Piper (Female)

Fenced yard required
Fostered in Northern Indiana
Piper is a one-year-old girl that is coming out of her shell more and more each day. Full of sweetness and curiosity, this little girl is bit 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. Piper will do best with another dog in the house.

Meet Blair! A sweet and happy two year old collie. Blair loves human attention and enjoys all the petting and scratches she can get. This girl would love nothing more than to be with you and have your undivided attention. You would be her world. Blair will put her cute little face on your lap, stare in your eyes and wait for petting. This girl is super affectionate.
Blair is a gentle and sensitive girl. She is bit unsure at first but quickly warms up and gets into a daily routine. Blair loves to have fun with toys and small balls. She can entertain herself, she will toss a ball, chase after it, but she also likes fetching it for you. She is also happy when running and playing with other dogs, though she can play bit rough at times. A younger canine playmate would be more up to her speed. But she would do well as the only one, too. Blair is an enthusiastic girl and has a tendency to jump up on people when happy or excited. For this reason, a family without small children would best as she can easily knock them down.

Hello! My name is King. I have a big name for a small guy but my big personality more than makes up for my size. I am about a year and a half year old and fully grown. I love playing with the big boys here at my foster home. They’re fun to play with and are teaching me how to play because I really didn’t know how to when I came here. I learned that I like to play tug with a rope toy and to play chase the most. I love to do Collie zoomies with the other dogs too and can get super excited. It’s so much fun!! I like stuffed toys a little bit but am not super excited with the Nylabone toys they have here to chew. They’re ok, but I like the rope toy the best.

Bruce is a one year old ray of sunshine and ball of energy that is looking for a best buddy or many buddies to hang out with. He absolutely loves being around people and soaks up any attention he can get. He is good with kids, but would probably be best with children 10 and up due to his size and energy level.
Bruce is always looking for something to do. It’s fun to watch him run around the yard looking for sticks, and then try to get people or dogs to chase him. When his foster parents are working in the yard or just doing ordinary tasks around the house, he is always nearby watching intently, willing to lend a paw.

Meet Scout, a happy 6-month-old puppy.
Scout is a social, friendly, playful, rambunctious boy. At this age, he’s a bit independent, but he still likes his people to be nearby, and he loves the occasional cuddle, butt rub, and ear scratch.
Scout is very good on the leash. He is hilarious, though; he likes to put the leash in his mouth and walk himself. He is distracted by loud noises and other animals and will need some work in that area. He knows the sit command but doesn’t know others yet. He is extremely food/treat motivated so training should be relatively easy. Car rides aren’t his favorite activity, but with time and positive reinforcement we are sure he will learn they are not a big deal.

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.

Princess is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. She came to us after her human had to move to a nursing home. Upon arrival, she was a bit unsure of her new environment and was pacing quite a bit. But it wasn’t long before she began trusting her foster mom and settled in nicely. Princess is now seeking her foster mom’s attention several times a day. She will lean on her foster mom as her way of asking a for pets. Princess enjoys all the affection she can get.
Princess is a velcro dog and prefers to be near her humans in the same room if possible. She will make herself comfortable in one of the dog beds around the house. Princess is also happy napping in the back yard on a nice day.
Princess is a reserved, calm and friendly gal. She is a bit shy with new people until she feels comfortable enough to approach, but is good with strangers. Princess is very well mannered and does not jump on people, and is generally a quiet girl but will bark when she gets really excited. At mealtimes she will spin in circles and bark when she knows her food is coming. Adorable!
