Story
A synonym for grace is kindness... and our Gracie is the very definition of both. On April 20th, we reached out for help for three severely neglected Collies—Gracie, Solomon, and Sam—as well as a bottle feeder for two precious newborn puppies. Despite dedicated veterinary care and the unwavering commitment of their foster, the puppies sadly did not survive. Their sweet mama, Gracie, did. Now this kind-hearted girl is ready to find the forever home she has always deserved. At 7 years old, Gracie's life hasn't been an easy one. She spent years living outdoors in filthy conditions, knowing very little human kindness. Today, she's discovering the simple joys every dog should have—a warm bed, a full belly, gentle hands, and people who love her. And she absolutely blossoms with human connection. When asked to describe Gracie in one word, her foster didn't hesitate: "Kind." Gracie gets along well with other dogs, though she still carries a bit of her mama personality and may gently correct bad behavior when she sees it. She is crate trained, leash trained, and eager to please. Because she has had limited exposure to the world outside her previous environment, she is still learning about new sounds, places, and experiences. Her ideal home is one that will continue showing her patience, love, and guidance as she discovers how wonderful life can be. Gracie isn't the kind of dog who demands endless games of fetch. Instead, she's looking for something much more meaningful—a companion to share life's quiet moments with. Whether as a friend to another dog or as someone's cherished princess, Gracie is ready to give her whole heart to the people who give her a chance. After everything she's endured, we think it's finally Gracie's turn to be loved. Could you be the happy ending she's been waiting for?

Story
Some dogs come into your life for a reason. We believe Stardust is one of them. Stardust is searching for the one thing she's never truly had—a person to call her own. Her soulmate. Her best friend. Her forever. While she can tolerate and even get along with other dogs, Stardust's heart is telling us she'd be happiest as your one and only. Your shadow. Your Velcro companion. The one who greets you every morning, follows you from room to room, and reminds you every day just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. Cats you ask? Although she might be “ok” with cats, we think she’d be best as the only pet in the household. Many of you have followed Stardust's journey. She is deaf and partially blind, but those are simply details—they do not define her. She has adapted beautifully and navigates the world with incredible confidence. She learns quickly, maps out her surroundings in no time, and runs with such joy and freedom that you'd never guess she has any limitations. She's incredibly intelligent, eager to learn (especially when treats are involved!), and happiest when she's close to her people. Picture this... Watching the sunset on the porch? Stardust will be beside you, resting her head in your lap. Working from home? She'll be snoozing contentedly at your feet. Heading out for an adventure? She'll be ready. At the end of the day? She'd love nothing more than a little space on your bed and the comfort of knowing she's finally home. Stardust is a petite girl, weighing just 41 pounds, and we estimate she's between 2 and 3 years old. Her perfect home is one where someone is home most of the time or has a lifestyle that allows their dog to be part of everyday life. More than anything, she's looking for connection, companionship, and the chance to love someone with her whole heart. Could Stardust be the heart dog you've been waiting for? The one who doesn't hear your voice but knows your love. The one who doesn't see every detail but sees you with her heart. The one who will be endlessly devoted, grateful, and by your side through life's everyday moments. Please help us find the person who has been searching for her without even knowing it. If you think that person might be you please fill out an application at: https://collie.org/adoptapplication

Story
Michele entered The Misfit Ranch after spending nearly a full year abandoned in a boarding facility, where she waited month after month for someone to finally come back for her. Despite everything she’s been through, Michele still greets the world with love in her eyes and hope in her heart. This beautiful 6-year-old red heeler mix weighs about 50 pounds and has a personality that is impossible not to fall for. Michele absolutely adores affection and wants nothing more than to be close to her people. She leans into pets with her whole body, smiles when she’s happy, and has a way of making you feel like you are the most important person in the room. Michele thrives on connection and attention, and once she bonds with you, she is deeply loyal and affectionate. She can coexist well with other dogs, though she does best with proper, slow introductions. She is mostly house trained with only the occasional accident, and she sleeps quietly in her crate at night. After losing almost a year of her life to a kennel run, Michele is finally getting the chance to experience comfort, love, and stability in foster care — and she is flourishing. Now she’s ready to find the family she’s been waiting so patiently for.

Story
Meet Peggy Sue! Peggy Sue is a 6-year-old red heeler who was rescued from the shelter just as her time was running out. Now she's safe, loved, and ready to find the forever family she has been waiting for. Like many heelers, Peggy can be a little shy when meeting new people. She likes to take a moment to figure you out first. But once you've earned her trust? It's game over. You'll be rewarded with endless love, snuggles, face kisses, and a devoted best friend who thinks you're the greatest thing on earth. Peggy Sue is the perfect blend of sweet and silly. When she's happy, she breaks into her signature zoomies, twirling her little tail and bouncing around the house with the enthusiasm of an Olympic athlete and the vertical leap of a potato. It's impossible not to laugh. She loves car rides, neighborhood walks, puzzle toys, and her nightly dental treat, which she takes very seriously, she’s not a big fan of cats though. She's house trained, rides beautifully in the car, has excellent manners when taking treats, and has never met a cozy spot on the couch she didn't approve of. One of Peggy's favorite things in the world is cuddle time. Every night she happily settles in for her foster mom to wrap her up like a burrito and shower her with hugs. She'll happily return the favor with plenty of kisses. Peggy does have some classic heeler traits. She takes her self-appointed jobs as household protector and part-time herd manager very seriously. She's loyal, observant, and always likes to know what's going on around her. Peggy has also been kenneled with other dogs and did well. While proper introductions are always important, we believe she could do well in a home with another dog when given slow, thoughtful introductions and time to settle in. Most of all, Peggy is looking for someone to love. She has a huge heart, a hilarious personality, and so much affection to give. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will make you laugh, keep you company on life's adventures, and happily curl up beside you at the end of the day, Peggy Sue might just be your perfect match.

Story
I found Molly at Animal Friends of the Valley in 2024. She's very loving and energetic with her lambchop. Right now, the place I'm staying at isn't big enough for her. She does have separation anxiety, and I have tried many ways to help with that, but they are not working for her. She does chew on fences and will dig if she feels that's how she needs to get out and find you. She doesn't go far when she does get out, and waits till you get back. She understands commands and will listen in the home.
