Collie puppies and dogs in Apple Valley, California

🐾 MEET LINDSEY — ONE EAR UP, A HEART FULL OF LOVE! ♥️🐶♥️ A Playful Spirit, a Water-Loving Comedian, and a Sweetheart Who Makes Every Day an Adventure! 📍 Location: Upland Animal Shelter — Upland, CA 🐾 Animal ID: IEPA-A-18546 🐕 Breed: Collie / Shepherd Mix 💕 Sex: Female (Spayed) 🎂 Age: Approximately 2 years, 9 months ⚖️ Weight: 60 lbs 📅 At the Shelter Since: January 23, 2026 🏡 Adoption Status: Spayed and ready for her forever home! ♥️ MEET LINDSEY — IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO LOVE! Some dogs are beautiful. Some dogs are funny. Some dogs are affectionate. And then there’s Lindsey, who decided there was absolutely no reason she couldn’t be all three! With her gorgeous face, that irresistibly adorable standing ear, and a personality overflowing with happiness, Lindsey is the kind of dog who makes you smile before you’ve even said hello. But her real beauty is in her heart. Lindsey is a wonderfully affectionate, playful, intelligent girl who loves people, enjoys the company of other dogs, and approaches life with the enthusiasm of someone who believes every day should include toys, treats, water, and plenty of cuddles. And preferably all four! 🎾 FETCH — THE LINDSEY WAY! Lindsey absolutely loves toys, especially soft, squeaky stuffed animals, which she enjoys playing with without destroying them. She also loves fetch, although she has developed her own very special version of the game! You throw the ball. Lindsey runs after it with great enthusiasm. She picks it up and starts coming back… But wait! Why rush back when you can stop halfway and enjoy your wonderful new treasure? So Lindsey takes a little break to play with her toy, savoring the moment. Want her to come back? Just show her another toy, and she’s ready for the next round! It’s part fetch, part independent play, and entirely Lindsey. She’s perfectly happy entertaining herself, but she never forgets the humans around her. During playtime, she’ll happily take little breaks to come over for affection, a good petting session, and, if you’re feeling generous, a delicious treat. For Lindsey, playing and loving go hand in hand. 💦 WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE! Lindsey is a certified water enthusiast! She loves splashing, playing in the pool, and occasionally emptying water bowls because, apparently, watching all that water spill out is absolutely hilarious. Her volunteers might have a slightly different opinion about the cleanup! But Lindsey’s relationship with water also reveals how clever she is. When she’s playing with her best friend Marvin and decides she needs a little break, she simply heads to the middle of the pool and lies down. Why? Because Marvin doesn’t particularly like water! Lindsey has figured out that the pool is her own little private relaxation zone. Smart girl! 🐕 LINDSEY & MARVIN — A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP One of the most touching parts of Lindsey’s story is her friendship with Marvin. They arrived at the shelter together on January 23, 2026, and share a wonderful bond. Although they live in separate kennels, volunteers try to bring them together in the play yard whenever possible. And watching them play is something truly special. They run, chase, wrestle, and enjoy each other’s company with the kind of happiness that reminds us how meaningful friendships can be for dogs, too. Lindsey can sometimes become protective of Marvin when other dogs approach the play-yard fence. However, when she’s on her own, she shows friendly curiosity toward other dogs and seems eager to make new playmates. She has also enjoyed positive interactions with other shelter dogs, including a recent playful meeting with Roger in the park. Lindsey is considered dog-friendly and is a playgroup rockstar! As with any dog, a supervised introduction and compatibility assessment are recommended before placing her with a new canine companion. She could do wonderfully with a friendly, playful dog whose temperament and play style complement her own. And while it would be a dream come true to see Lindsey and Marvin adopted together, Lindsey is absolutely precious on her own and deserves a loving forever home, whether with Marvin or separately. Their friendship is beautiful, but her future shouldn’t have to wait for a double adoption. 💕 A BIG DOG WHO THINKS SHE’S A LAP DOG! For all her enthusiasm and playful energy, Lindsey has an incredibly tender side. She is a true social butterfly who loves human companionship. She’ll happily approach you for affection, lean into your petting, and soak up as much love as you’re willing to give. And yes, this 60-pound sweetheart considers herself a lap dog! Lindsey is independent enough to enjoy playing on her own, yet affectionate enough to make you feel like you’re the most important person in the world. She doesn’t demand constant entertainment. She simply loves sharing life’s happy moments with her people. Whether she’s running after a toy, splashing in the water, or resting beside you for a cuddle, Lindsey knows how to make ordinary moments special. 🏡 LINDSEY’S IDEAL FOREVER HOME Lindsey would thrive in an active, loving home where she can enjoy regular exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. She’s intelligent, treat-motivated, eager to learn, and already knows basic commands, including “sit.” She walks well with a properly fitted harness, which helps manage her occasional pulling on leash. Her friendly personality and willingness to learn could make her a wonderful companion even for first-time dog owners who are ready to provide exercise, structure, and positive reinforcement training. Lindsey could also be a delightful family dog! Because she’s a playful, energetic adult dog, a home with children ages 13 and older is recommended, although younger children may be considered with appropriate supervision and an individual assessment. She has a high prey drive and is not suitable for a home with cats. Her ideal home would offer: * ♥️ Lots of affection and companionship * 🎾 Regular exercise and interactive play * 💦 Opportunities for safe water fun * 🧠 Positive reinforcement training and mental enrichment * 🐕 Possibly a compatible, playful canine companion * 🏡 A loving family who appreciates her joyful, affectionate personality Medical note: Lindsey’s right eye has an appearance that may be consistent with a cataract. Veterinary evaluation is recommended to determine the cause and whether any care is needed. 🌻 WHY OUR VOLUNTEERS LOVE LINDSEY Because Lindsey is simply Lindsey! She’s the girl with the unforgettable ear. The girl who invented her own version of fetch. The girl who thinks water bowls are entertainment. The clever girl who uses the pool as her personal retreat. The girl who loves her friend Marvin. And the affectionate sweetheart who interrupts her own playtime just to come over and remind you how much she loves being with you. She’s funny without trying. She’s beautiful without knowing it. And she’s loving in that wonderful, uncomplicated way that makes dogs such extraordinary companions. Lindsey has been waiting for her forever family since January 23, 2026. That’s a long time for a young, joyful dog with so much love to give. ♥️ LINDSEY IS READY TO MAKE YOUR LIFE A LITTLE HAPPIER! If you’re looking for a beautiful, intelligent, playful, affectionate companion who will fill your days with laughter, adventures, and unconditional love, Lindsey might be exactly the friend you’ve been waiting for. Come meet this extraordinary girl. Bring your heart. Maybe bring a squeaky toy. And don’t be surprised if you leave wondering how you ever lived without her. 🐾 ADOPT LINDSEY — ONE EAR UP, BOTH PAWS READY, AND HER WHOLE HEART WAITING FOR YOU! ♥️ 📍 Upland Animal Shelter — Upland, California 🐾 Animal ID: IEPA-A-18546 📸 More photos, videos, and adoption information: https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/IEPA-A-18546?embedded=1&iframeId=shelterluv_wrap_1749132642&columns=1#

Two Gentle Gentlemen Looking for Their Forever Home! Sometimes life's circumstances bring about things we never expected. Such is the case for Tucker and his two housemate brothers, Ozzie and Trip. Due to an unexpected family emergency out of state, all three boys found themselves in SCR's care and are now searching for new places to call home. We've discovered that Tucker and Ozzie share a special bond, and these two handsome boys will need to find a forever home together in Southern California. At approximately 4–5 years old, Tucker is a handsome sable collie and quite the laid-back gentleman. Toys may not be his thing, but spending time with his people certainly is! He's happiest spending his waking hours following you wherever you go, perfectly content simply being by your side. Ozzie, a handsome merle approximately 6 years old, is another easygoing fellow. Having been free-fed in the past, he'll need a family willing to help him transition to a scheduled feeding routine and shed a few extra pounds. A little structure, patience, and TLC will go a long way in helping him live his very best life! Both boys know their way in and out of a doggie door and are more than happy simply being part of the family pack. They get along well with dogs, cats, and children alike, making them wonderful candidates for a loving family looking to add two special companions to their home. What Tucker and Ozzie are looking for isn't complicated. They just want a loving forever home where they can be part of the family, share in life's everyday moments, and, most importantly, stay together. Could that home be yours? If you live in Southern California and think these two gentle gentlemen would make a wonderful addition to your family, please complete an adoption application at: https://collie.org/adoptapplication Let's help Tucker and Ozzie find the loving forever home they so very much deserve!

Is your life lacking the joy of two good-time boys? Do you live in Southern California? Well, do we have the gents for you! Doc and Ralph are looking for their forever home! Doc is a handsome, 5-year-old tri-color Collie and an absolute 100% love bug. He loves to play, loves his people, and he’s quite the talker. Yes, he’ll happily tell you everything that’s on his mind! His best buddy Ralph is an approximately 7-year-old Beagle who became Doc’s best friend about three years ago, when Ralph showed up on their property emaciated. Their friendship has blossomed ever since, and these two boys are very bonded. Their current owner is being transferred overseas and is heartbroken that he’s unable to take his guys with him. He desperately wants to make sure they stay together and land somewhere safe and loving. Both boys are healthy and up to date on their vaccinations. Ralph still needs to be neutered, and SCR will cover the cost of his neuter. If this dynamic duo has stolen your heart, take the first step toward making them part of your family!

Remember Trip? Our little explorer is back and looking for a new adventure! A few months ago, many of you may have been following along as we shared the story of Stardust's puppies on our Facebook page. You watched them grow from tiny newborns into 10-week-old pups, ready to head off and start their new lives with their adoptive families. You may remember Trip, the biggest of Stardust's litter and our little explorer who seemed to have "first one out the doggie door" written all over him. We had a feeling this boy was ready to boldly go where no pup had gone before! Well, Trip is back at SCR, along with two of his housemates, Tucker and Ozzie, after an unexpected family emergency out of state required their family to leave indefinitely. Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn, and these three boys are once again counting on us to help them find new homes. Now 8 months old, Trip has grown into quite the handsome young fellow! He's still full of puppy energy, curiosity, and a zest for exploring the world around him. Like any young pup, he'll need a family willing to put in the time and patience to teach him the basics of good doggie citizenship and help him grow into the wonderful adult dog we know he can be. Trip is playful, curious, and gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children. He's ready for his next big adventure, and this time, we hope it leads to a forever home! If you think you might be the right fit for our not-so-little-anymore explorer, please complete an adoption application at:https://collie.org/adoptapplication Who knows what adventures await this handsome boy? We'd love for his next chapter to be his forever one!
