Leo is the quintessential Collie you have dreamed about.  He is a 3-year-old neutered male tricolor rough coated Collie with lovely manners and a fun nature.  He has been in a foster home with   a baby and loved every moment of it.  But "dad" has allergies and that has changed Leo's future.  Their disappointment may well be your lucky move.  Because Leo is now looking for his forever home.

The ideal home for Leo will be one with children.  He adores them!  And a securely fenced yard, of course.  Leo is obviously a bed dog.  And a couch dog.  And a cuddle bug.  So beware!  

Leo loves interaction with other dogs and cats.  Kids are a must, perhaps full time or regular visits to their grandparents.  He can be a bit of a barker that is characteristic of being a herding breed.  Because he is a young adult, he will need activity.  Walks, games, backyard ball throwing, trips to a feed store.  He does enjoy a nap or two during the day.  And he sleeps soundly through the night, hopefully close to the person he has chosen to be "his human."

Let's see if we can make Leo's miracle happen before we drink a toast to the New Year.

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.
