A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS OUR FIRST STEP TOWARD ANY PLACEMENT.  YOU WILL FIND THE SIMPLE ONLINE APP ON OUR WEBSITE AT www.colliesheltierescue.org.  THE MORE COMPLETE INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE US ABOUT WHAT COLLIE OR SHELTIE WILL FIT BEAUTIFULLY INTO YOUR FAMILY, THE BETTER MATCH WE CAN MAKE.  THESE DOGS ARE NOT COOKIE CUTTERS.  EACH ONE IS AS INDIVIDUAL AS A HUMAN.

Rosie is as calm and sweet as Lassie ever was.  She has never met a stranger, not other dogs or cats or humans.  Children will need Rosie just as Rosie will need kids to be her own.  She will blend into your family as if she had been with you forever.  

Rosie is a 3-year-old spayed female sable and white rough coated Collie.  Around 50#, she is easy to handle and lift.  She jumped into her foster mom's vehicle as if she had been doing it all her life.  Although she was living an outdoor rough and tumble kind of life, she has the soul of a pampered princess.  Just ask her!!

Folks with previous Collie experience and those with kids will have the inside track for adoption of Rosie.  She deserves to have a happy and stable home for at least the next 10 years or so.  We expect to be overwhelmed with applications for Rosie.  So if you think she is "the one" for your family, apply right now.  Rosie will be helping screen applications herself.  She is just that smart.

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.
