PLEASE TAKE NOTE.  A COMPLETED APPLICATION, WHICH YOU WILL FIND ON OUR WEBSITE AT www.colliesheltierescue.org IS OUR FIRST STEP.  WITHOUT THAT CRITICAL FIRST STEP, WE CAN'T BEGIN A CONVERSATION.

Meet little Luca.  He is a 1-year-old 23# mystery pup.  We are guessing Sheltie/Border Collie mix.  Luca is light boned and slender and quick.  He is also a very gentle and loving fellow and a bit of a lapdog.  Neutered, UTD on vaccines, microchipped with a Home Again chip with a lifetime database registration, Heartworm negative and has a normal CBC and blood chemistry profile.  Healthy and happy and ready to love and be loved for a lifetime.  

Luca needed a life change and we are happy to be a part of his future.  He is initially a little shy with men but has warmed up to his foster dad and is sleeping in bed with him (along with his foster mom).  He is playing happily with his foster siblings, two rough Collies and a Border Collie mix.  When he came to visit "Doggie Central", he immersed himself with a pack of seven Collies and too many humans (LOL).

The ideal home for Luca could be yours.  Lots of time and affection.  Perhaps another pooch to play with.  A securely fenced yard to have potty breaks.  And a firm commitment to love him for a lifetime.  A completed application is number #1 priority.  Please read about us and then fill out the online app.  www.colliesheltierescue.org.

Please begin the process for adoption by reading our Adoption Policies and, if we sound like the right group for you, fill out our online Adoption Application. From there, our receipt of your completed application will be confirmed by email. You then will receive a follow-up phone call if we feel you are a good potential applicant for the dog. Lots of good conversation with the foster family, a reference from your veterinarian, and a home visit round out the screening process. We take dog adoption very seriously.  Please put a lot of thought into why you want to adopt a dog, and help us make a good match for your family. We appreciate your taking the time to visit with us. We will look forward to hearing from you as well.
