A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT ADOPTING FROM OUR ORGANIZATION.  PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE AT www.colliesheltierescue.org AND READ ABOUT THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS (GOOD PHONE INTERVIEW, SECURELY FENCED YARD, FABULOUS REFERENCE FROM YOUR VETERINARIAN, HOME VISIT).  I KNOW IS SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF STEPS.  BUT FOR THE RIGHT FAMILY, IT IS SURPRISINGLY EASY.  WE SCREEN CAREFULLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE DOGS.  THEY DESERVE IT!

Reveille is a happy and busy 9 month old tri-color rough coated Collie.  By the time you read this bio, he will have been neutered and has already had updated vaccines and bloodwork.  He is with our Director and her pack and is content to run in and out the doggie door and raid every toy from all the toy baskets in the house.  The first night was a surprise when Rev flew into Hope's bed and promptly plopped on the pillow and settled right in.  But he took the hint and moved to the other side of the bed that is available to all the dogs who choose to cuddle.

Collie puppies are the dearest creatures and Reveille is no exception.  He loves men, women, children, babies, other dogs both large and small and especially ANYONE who will fuss over him.  It is important that potential adopters have prior Collie experience.  And an adult Collie to show him the "ways of the force" would be an added bonus.

We will continue to work on obedience.  He has learned sit, shake and down so far.  But no one has the teach him "love."  He already has that mastered.

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.
