Our Current Dogs
Meet the collies in our care—including those ready for adoption today and those still with their foster families as they prepare for their forever homes. Every dog receives veterinary care, grooming, and personalized support so we can make the perfect match.
Collie Rescue of Greater Illinois (CRGI) serves Illinois and surrounding states in the rescue and placement of both rough and smooth-coated collies. Adoption fees are $375 for adult dogs, $475 for puppies under one year, and $175 for dogs eight years and older.
Every collie receives comprehensive veterinary care, professional grooming, and at least two weeks in a foster home. During that time we learn about their temperament, routines, and preferences so we can create the best match for each adopter.
We require anyone interested in adopting a collie to complete an adoption application.
Start an adoption applicationAfter your application is reviewed you can select specific dogs for coordinator evaluation—no need to pick one right now.
