A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT ADOPTING FROM OUR ORGANIZATION.  PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE AT www.colliesheltierescue.org AND READ ABOUT THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS (GOOD PHONE INTERVIEW, SECRELY FENCED YARD, FABULOUS REFERENCE FROM YOUR VETERINARIAN AND A HOME VIST.)  I KNOW THAT IS A LOT BUT WE SCREEN VERY CAREFULLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE DOGS.  THEY DESEERVE IT!

Mac is the father of the two-year-old male pups on the website with lovely Scarlett being the mama.  He is a glorious large sable and white rough coated Collie with a lot of personal charm.  Mac happily goes up to all men, women and children to introduce himself.  He adores other dogs and has no issue with cats.  He was very much loved by his owner who died unexpectedly about a week ago.  The only thing Mac knows for sure right now is change.  Left outside after his owner died.  A long car trip from a small town in Kansas to a foster home in Wichita.  Another long car trip from Wichita to Pueblo West, CO.  A bit of poking and prodding including drawing of blood at a vet clinic.  Being a part of a blended dog family.  If you think of this from the perspective of a pooch used to a routine life, all of a sudden having nothing to cling to.  It is heartbreaking.

Mac is a 5-year-old neutered male that has been brought UTD on vaccines and has great bloodwork, is heartworm negative and microchipped.  He has recently started on a more appropriate diet for an adult Collie.  He eats well and sleeps well and enjoys time outside, especially when there is snow on the ground.  We have not found anything that Mac does not enjoy!

Mac would not mind being an only dog or as a part of a larger dog family.  When it comes to what forever family he would like to hook up with for a lifetime, we will have to see what the universe has in store for him.   Preference will be given to those with prior Collie experience.    And we always love to hear from our previous adopters! 

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!
