Fostered near Elkhart, IN

Chance is a 3-year-old tricolor Rough Collie who does best in a calmer household. He’s very social with other dogs, great with cats, and a true crate pro who settles well. A little shy at first, it takes him a little time to warm up to visitors, but once everyone is settled, he is just fine. Chance does best when he can take things at his own pace—especially with a confident canine buddy nearby for moral support.
In foster care, Chance has slipped right back into a steady household routine and shows he’s happiest in a relatively low key environment. Having children in his prior home was overwhelming to him so an adult only home would be best for this boy. He’s fully house trained and crate trained. He’ll occasionally enjoy couch snuggles, though he often prefers having his own space.
Chance enjoys the company of other dogs and plays well, though his play can sometimes be a bit too enthusiastic and too rough. He would do best with younger, playful dogs and a strong role-model dog to help build his confidence. He’s good with cats and has a very low prey drive. A fenced yard is required for safe off-leash play.
Chance will also need some light house-proofing, as he can be a bit of a counter-surfer who may steal food or personal items to chew. Leash walking is still a work in progress, as he can be nervous about outside sounds and sights. His foster home has started manners class to help him grow more confident when exploring the world beyond home. Chance would be so grateful to have a family that is willing to continue working with him.
If your heart is open to a sweet, gentle Collie who would feel safest and happiest in a calm, peaceful home with a canine friend by his side, Chance may be the perfect soul to welcome into your life.
