The Collie Mama is named Jazz and therefore her four pups have names for some of the Jazz greats. Billie is a tri-colored rough puppy, the only female in the litter and has been named for Billie Holiday. She is a few days shy of her 8-week-old birthday. She is happy to be on the earth and shares her joy with all humans and her siblings. Tina, her foster mom, describes her as "outgoing and athletic." David, her foster dad, adds that she is "cute as a bug." She is sturdy and loves to romp with her littermates until she falls asleep in mid stride, as all young puppies do. Please read the requirements for adoption on our website before you submit an application. Folks with prior Collie knowledge will be given preference. A fenced yard is required, not optional. We will call your veterinarian for a reference and either do a home site inspection if possible or accept digital photos if necessary. We hope you will not be offended by our process but it is our moral obligation to find the best homes possible for these puppies and we take this very seriously. Doggies first!!!

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.
