AS ALWAYS, A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS OUR FIRST STEP TOWARD ANY PLACEMENT.  YOU WILL FND THE APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE AT www.colliesheltierescue.org.  PLEASE READ ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION AND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTION.  GOOD PHONE CONVERSATION WITH THE DIRECTOR, SECURELY FENCED YARD, FABULOUS REFERENCE FROM YOUR VETERINARIAN AND A HOME VISIT OR DIGITAL PHOTOS OF YOUR HOME AND YARD.

Skye is the name of this lovely little Collie pup.  She is a tri-headed white rough Collie with beautiful silky white fur on her entire body.  She has been brought UTD on vaccines and is heartworm negative.  When she arrives in Colorado late on 10/16, we will begin the rest of her vet care.  She will have baseline bloodwork of blood chemistries and CBC in preparation for her spay and microchip.  And she will get groomed and receive her first ever dogbed.

Skye is a gentle little soul.  At six months of age and 40#, she is a pup that takes cues from the adult dogs around her.  She has been kenneled with other dogs with no problem.  We have no idea about her approval of cats.  And kids are an unknown as well.  Although Collies are generally fabulous with kids, she has never been around them to our knowledge.  Prior Collie experience is a must for a family for Skye.

Puppies do best with clear guidelines, positive reinforcement and lots of routine.  Each Collie will come with a Collie book as a gift from us.  It is full of information on the grooming of double coated dogs and other breed specific information that will be helpful as a new Collie owner.  And RMCSR is always available to answer questions and give advice.  Just ask anyone, our Director is always full of advice!

We look forward to reading your applications and finding the perfect home for Skye!

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.
