9/8/26:  Cathryn came to meet me, and we decided pretty quickly that I was the one for her! I had a long trip home, but we stopped halfway so I could meet some new family members along the way.  I was a perfect gentleman for the rest of the ride and did wonderfully in the car. I sure was happy, though, when we finally arrived at my new home!  It has been much too quiet around here since Cathryn lost her other collie, and she is so happy to have some four-legged company again. I think I’m just the perfect man for the job!  I have a feeling this is exactly where I’m supposed to be. This is the right home for me, and I’m looking forward to filling the house with lots of love, companionship, and, of course, some good old-fashioned collie fun!

9/6/26:  I’m the man of the group, a five-year-old Collie boy weighing about 55 pounds. I was already neutered when I arrived, so I’ve got that taken care of!  I did have a little eye infection, but I’m taking medicine for it and it’s already clearing up nicely. I enjoy going for walks and do pretty well on a loose leash. I know my basic commands, am housetrained, and am crate trained, although I don’t really need a crate.  I get along just fine with the other dogs and don’t bother the cats. I’m an easygoing guy who is ready to find my new family.  I came to the rescue because my person had to have back surgery and would no longer be able to care for me.

6/27/26:  I came home with my new family today, and we are already having the best time together! I have the whole house to explore, but my favorite place is wherever my family is. I follow them everywhere they go and love being right by their side. I’m soaking up all the one-on-one attention, and it makes me so happy. My family’s beloved 12-year-old collie passed away last year after being with them since puppyhood, and they missed having a collie in their home. I’m honored to say I’ve helped fill that collie-shaped hole in their hearts. We are all so grateful to have found each other, and I know we’re going to make many wonderful memories together.

7/4/26:  Mary and Eli came to meet me, and we became friends right away! It didn’t take me long to feel like I had always been part of this family. Eli and I get along wonderfully and have so much fun playing together. I’ve also enjoyed meeting the neighbors, who have all been so friendly and welcoming.  Mary told me she had really missed seeing a sweet Collie face around the house, and I’m so happy to be the one filling that special place in her heart. I couldn’t be happier in my forever home!
