A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS OUR FIRST STEP TOWARD ANY PLACEMENT.  YOU WILL FIND THE ONLINE APP ON OUR WEBSTE AT www.colliesheltierescue.org.  PLEASE READ ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION AND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTION.  I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THE FENCED YARD REQUIREMENT WAS NOT EVIDENT ON OUR WEBSITE.  BALDERDASH!  IT MOST CERTAINLY IS!  

 Jax is the quintessential adolescent smooth Collie.  Great fun, big energy and lots of love.  The smooth Collie is a much rowdier model than the rough Collies like Lassie.  Jax will need a dog buddy to rough and tumble with.  Another smooth Collie would be awesome but any companionable, young large breed pup would be great.  Male or female?  It should not make any difference to Jax.  He is not a dominant boy.  He played here at my house (Hope's) with other Collies (all rough coats) and one Sheltie for comic relief.  They all got along famously.

Jax was living in close quarters in an apartment in Denver.  Puppies, including Collies, need room to run and play, a securely fenced yard and humans who know enough about dogs to guide the pups to adulthood with clear guidelines and tons of love.  

Jax is handsome and charming.  At approximately 10 months of age, he is neutered and completely vaccinated, microchipped and Heartworm negative.  He is nicely built and obviously lean and strong.  Good food, lots of activity and boundless love will all make Jax a great dog.  Only people with smooth Collie experience will be considered.

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.
