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, SECURELY FENCED YARD, FABULOUS REFERENCE FROM YOUR VETERINARIAN AND A HOME VISIT). I KNOW THAT IS A LOT BUT WE SCREEN CAREFULLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE DOGS. THEY DESERVE IT!
Finnegan is the kind of dog you have always wanted in your life. He is a young adult neutered male rough coated Collie. When he turns 2 on New Year's Eve, we will all celebrate!
Finn's foster mom has lots of good things to say about him. Although he is still a youngster, he is a happy and well put together dog. At only 52#, he needs to put on another 12-15 pounds or so to look like to proud and confident Collie he will be as an adult. Finn greets his little family of other dogs and humans happily first thing in the morning and is ready to start a new day full of love and fun. He learns quickly and is ready to join a forever family and have men, women and children of his very own for a lifetime of love.
Although Finnegan has not barked in the house, he does have a couple of quirky habits to be aware of, for full disclosure. He can be a counter surfer which will take a bit of retraining. The retraining should also cover trash dumping in the bathroom and the ridiculous habit of unrolling toilet tissue and joyfully taking it with him from room to room. Oops! I should not have laughed! And he loves to put his big glorious head in your lap especially after a big drink of water.
Previous Collie experience is a plus as well as a lifetime commitment to Finn. Our contractual agreement includes clauses to protect each dog as best we can. Because we love them!
