Story
https://www.collierescue.org/DogDetails.aspx?id=2024-045 Fostered in SE Michigan Fenced yard required This handsome boy is ready for his forever home where he can settle in and get all the love and attention he deserves. Pauly was found as a stray and spent some time with animal control until he was liberated by CRGI. This charming boy has a gentle disposition and a heart full of love. Pauly is a true snuggle bug. He thrives on being close to his people. He enjoys playing fetch although he might need a little reminder to bring the ball back! He loves balls, stuffed animals, and chew sticks. At times he has bursts of energy, especially when welcoming guests into the home. Pauly knows several commands including sit and shake, and he has good recall. He walks well on a leash; however, he does get very excited when he sees other dogs and people. He just wants to make new friends! He's smart and can be redirected with treats. His foster family is working on this with him. He gets along well with his Golden Retriever foster brother and other dogs. However, he chases cats, so a feline free household is a must. Pauly needs a home where his new family will give him time to settle and relax. He is very trainable, and food motivated. A family that understands his need for closeness and can provide him with the comfort and stability he craves would be perfect. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion, Pauly could be the perfect addition to your home. Give this sweet boy a chance, and he'll reward you with endless affection and devotion.

Story
Fostered in Illinois Fenced yard required Lovely Luna came to us as part of a group of wonderful smoothies. She is a very gentle girl who knows how to ask for affection with a soft nudge. She will approach her family looking for pets and sweet talk and in return will lavish them with kisses. She affectionately greats visitors as well. If she’s not with her people, you’ll likely find this snuggle bug curled up in bed. Luna is very treat motivated and has learned many commands. Additionally, she plays well with toys and with the foster family’s dogs. She walks well on a leash and travels well in the car once she’s been encouraged to get in. Luna can be easily frightened, so it will be important to provide her with confidence building activities and to slowly introduce her to new people and things. She would benefit from basic obedience training using positive reinforcement and a soft approach. Once Luna is comfortable in the environment, she warms right up and eagerly seeks love and attention. If you give Luna a chance, it won’t be long before you’re over the moon for her. Copy and paste link below for more information https://www.collierescue.org/DogDetails.aspx?id=2024-014

Story
Fostered in IL Fenced yard required https://www.collierescue.org/DogDetails.aspx?id=2024-010 Hey, you guys! It's me, Ron with a little update about how things are going. I'm a little sad and a little confused about why I haven't heard from my Forever yet, but I know you are out there, somewhere. I know I'm not a Lassie type, but I am a real Collie - just the short-coated kind. That just means that I won't have any of those annoying knots to brush out all the time, and I think that's a big plus. I am rough-factored which gives me more hair than lots of smooths, if it helps! So, I'm a two-year- old tri colored male. I live with a bunch of other collies now and get along fine after a good introduction. I've learned not to chase cats (kinda), but squirrels and bunnies are fair game so a fenced yard is a must. I'm getting used to neighborhood noises but wouldn't mind a quieter home away from that nonsense, either. I do have a strong personality and a deep voice but underneath I can be a real softie. I'm on the fence about kids - individually they can be ok, but in a group, maybe not so much. I'm athletic, love taking really long walks and toys are great - I even play fetch! I'm really hoping that my Forever sees this - I'm waiting for you, friend!

Story
Meet Chip! Age: golden oldie Weight: 62 pounds Good with: Dogs, ignore cats, haven't been around kids (but I'm super sweet and gentle) House trained: yes Crate trained: yes Special needs: I don't hear too well anymore at my age, and I have some arthritis in my hips and lower back, that I take some medicine for. Oh man, I'm so excited to finally be on the lookout for my new home! I love car rides and leisurely walks. And by leisurely, I mean nice and slow. Not too far though, I'll get wobbly on the way back home otherwise. I'm a gentle boy who loves to be loved and love in return! Boy, that's a lot of love! I'm a fan of getting pet and enjoy attention from my humans. Good news, my fur is super soft and velvety! Perfect for petring! My second favorite thing is naps! I'll nap on and off all day long. It's actually a specialty of mine! In my new home I'll just need a human to pet me and a bed to snuggle up on. Not asking for much! Do you have something like that, and want to bring me home with you? *Chip is being fostered in Menomonee Falls, WI.
