These special Collies and Shelties have come to us with serious health issues or emotional damage that will require lengthy rehabilitation. They are loved and receiving the best possible individualized care. When a dog in this group is ready to move from rehabilitation to a foster or forever home, his or her information will be updated here on the website.
CaelMany shelters know that if they have a Collie or Sheltie that tests positive for Heartworm Disease, a breed-specific rescue will find an open spot for that dog and do whatever it takes to bring the dog back to good health. This lovely sable-headed white rough collie named Cael (pronounced Kale) has begun his treatment, and he needs a gentle and loving foster home to watch over him while while he concentrates on getting well, with RMCSR, of course, covering all his expenses.
Lobo"Lobo" came to RMCSR from a sanctuary in Kansas. He is a 7-year-old rough collie that was relinquished by an owner. Lobo is still in the rehabbing stage of the process. He is now housebroken and has learned the doggie door from his furry pals. He will walk on a slip leash with a lot of reassurance from his human. He eats with gusto. And he watches the other dogs in his foster home to help him with cues to things he is just beginning to learn about.
Please begin the process for adoption by reading our Policies & Guidelines and, if we sound like the right group for you, proceed to the online Adoption Application. From there, our receipt of your completed application will be confirmed by email. You 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.
