A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS OUR FIRST STEP TOWARD ANY PLACEMENT.  YOU WILL FIND IT ON OUR WEBSITE AT www.colliesheltierescue.org.  AN INQUIRY FROM PETFINDER OR ADOPT A PET IS NOT OUR APPLICATION.  PLEASE READ THE ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING A SECURELY FENCED YARD, A STELLAR REFERENCE FROM YOUR CURRENT VETERINARIAN AND A HOME VISIT OR DIGITAL PHOTOS OF YOUR HOME AND YARD.  IF YOU SOUND LIKE A GOOD POTENTIAL MATCH FOR THIS YOUNG MAN, OUR DIRECTOR WILL CALL YOU FOR AN INTERVIEW.

From Luke's foster mom Pam....

"Sweet little Luke Skywalker.  He is a doll.  Very sweet, gentle manners.  Luke is the quiet one of the bunch.  He seldom says anything is and is quick to sit and wait for you to notice that he would like to be picked up.  This is the gentlest baby ever!  You get this overwhelming protective feeling with him.  He is just a kind, sweet and grateful puppy."

This is one of the tiny, malnourished and dehydrated Sheltie mix puppies that were found abandoned in a field in Golden, Colorado.  They were lucky enough to be brought to Foothills Animal Shelter and stabilized there for their stray period.  Foothills is one of our rescue partners and they requested we take over to give the pups additional time to gain weight and strength before they would be placed for adoption.  We were pleased to help.

Luke is an 8-week-old male puppy with unknown parentage.  If you squint, you could see Sheltie or some other herding breed.  So, we will start there.  He will have all the necessary vaccinations and pre-anesthetic bloodwork before his neuter, all of which will be paid for by Rocky Mountain Collie and Sheltie Rescue.

Because Luke is such a tender soul, he needs a quieter home with mellow energy.  Definitely no small children who are happy and loud and would distress this little boy.  As we often say, you should not try to put a square peg in a round hole.

Application first please.  No completed application, no conversation.

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.

Adopt Me!
