3/7/26:  I’ve happily joined the Smallin household, where I’m the only gentleman among three lovely collie girls and two wonderful human ladies. As you can imagine, being the only male means I’m destined to be quite spoiled! I’ve already decided that lap dog life suits me perfectly, and I’m getting very good at those irresistible sad puppy-dog eyes.  Jean and Anita have shared their lives with many collies over the years and have a wealth of experience, so I know I’m in the very best hands. With so much love, attention, and excellent care waiting for me here, it’s clear that I’ve truly hit the jackpot.

3/2/26:  The rescue staff estimate my age to be around three years old. I came into their care after my breeder passed away, and I’ve been making great progress since. I recently visited the groomer to have my mats removed, and I was neutered this week. I’m currently working on basic commands and loose-leash walking. I’m crate trained, doing well with housetraining, and I get along with other dogs. The cats are comfortable with me too. I’m a gentle, sweet-natured boy looking forward to learning and growing in a new home.

3/5/26:  Today I am officially becoming a member of the Bernstein family. They have really missed having a collie and were patiently waiting for the right one to come into rescue. I’m happy to say that the one they were waiting for is me! I just know I’m going to have a wonderful life filled with love, companionship, and happy days with my new family.

3/2/26:  “The rescue folks think I’m a refined lady of about 7 or 8 years old. I spent my earlier years with a collie breeder, but when he passed away, I found myself looking for a new chapter. I’m truly the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet.  My favorite place in the whole world is simply ‘wherever you are.’ I get along with other dogs and don’t mind cats at all. I’m currently perfecting my leash manners and doing wonderful with my housetraining. While I’m crate trained, I’m such a good girl that I don’t really need to use it. Plus, I just had a long-overdue spa day, and I must say, I feel absolutely beautiful!”

3/7/26:  Morgan is my forever person, and she already loves me so much. Goose and I became friends right away, and he’s been showing me some of the tricks he knows. Most days we even get to go to work with Mom and help out around the office. I get lots of attention and plenty of love. I don’t think life could get any better than this!

3/2/26:  I’m a little tri girl, about 10 months old. I was living with a collie breeder, and when he passed away, I came to the rescue. I’m a bit shy, but I’m getting more confident every day. I’m doing well with both crate training and housetraining. When I’m happy, which is most of the time, I wiggle my butt! I went to the groomer for the first time ever and was such a good girl. Just look how my coat shines now!  I’m learning to walk loosely on the leash and basic commands.  I’m great with the other dogs and don’t mind the cat.
