Story
https://www.collierescue.org/DogDetails.aspx?id=2024-045 Fostered in SE Michigan Fenced yard required This handsome boy is ready for his forever home where he can settle in and get all the love and attention he deserves. Pauly was found as a stray and spent some time with animal control until he was liberated by CRGI. This charming boy has a gentle disposition and a heart full of love. Pauly is a true snuggle bug. He thrives on being close to his people. He enjoys playing fetch although he might need a little reminder to bring the ball back! He loves balls, stuffed animals, and chew sticks. At times he has bursts of energy, especially when welcoming guests into the home. Pauly knows several commands including sit and shake, and he has good recall. He walks well on a leash; however, he does get very excited when he sees other dogs and people. He just wants to make new friends! He's smart and can be redirected with treats. His foster family is working on this with him. He gets along well with his Golden Retriever foster brother and other dogs. However, he chases cats, so a feline free household is a must. Pauly needs a home where his new family will give him time to settle and relax. He is very trainable, and food motivated. A family that understands his need for closeness and can provide him with the comfort and stability he craves would be perfect. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion, Pauly could be the perfect addition to your home. Give this sweet boy a chance, and he'll reward you with endless affection and devotion.

Story
Fostered in Illinois Fenced yard required Lovely Luna came to us as part of a group of wonderful smoothies. She is a very gentle girl who knows how to ask for affection with a soft nudge. She will approach her family looking for pets and sweet talk and in return will lavish them with kisses. She affectionately greats visitors as well. If she’s not with her people, you’ll likely find this snuggle bug curled up in bed. Luna is very treat motivated and has learned many commands. Additionally, she plays well with toys and with the foster family’s dogs. She walks well on a leash and travels well in the car once she’s been encouraged to get in. Luna can be easily frightened, so it will be important to provide her with confidence building activities and to slowly introduce her to new people and things. She would benefit from basic obedience training using positive reinforcement and a soft approach. Once Luna is comfortable in the environment, she warms right up and eagerly seeks love and attention. If you give Luna a chance, it won’t be long before you’re over the moon for her. Copy and paste link below for more information https://www.collierescue.org/DogDetails.aspx?id=2024-014

Fostered in IL Fenced yard required https://www.collierescue.org/DogDetails.aspx?id=2024-010 Hey, you guys! It's me, Ron with a little update about how things are going. I'm a little sad and a little confused about why I haven't heard from my Forever yet, but I know you are out there, somewhere. I know I'm not a Lassie type, but I am a real Collie - just the short-coated kind. That just means that I won't have any of those annoying knots to brush out all the time, and I think that's a big plus. I am rough-factored which gives me more hair than lots of smooths, if it helps! So, I'm a two-year- old tri colored male. I live with a bunch of other collies now and get along fine after a good introduction. I've learned not to chase cats (kinda), but squirrels and bunnies are fair game so a fenced yard is a must. I'm getting used to neighborhood noises but wouldn't mind a quieter home away from that nonsense, either. I do have a strong personality and a deep voice but underneath I can be a real softie. I'm on the fence about kids - individually they can be ok, but in a group, maybe not so much. I'm athletic, love taking really long walks and toys are great - I even play fetch! I'm really hoping that my Forever sees this - I'm waiting for you, friend!

Hi, I'm Red! Thanks for checking me out! I know my cute face is hard to resist, but here's the scoop: I'll need a lot of your time and attention as I grow up into the amazing adult dog I'm destined to be! I'm looking for a forever family that will help me with socialization, training (yes, that includes house training!), and plenty of exercise. And let's not forget the chewing and teething-I'm still learning what's okay (and what's definitely not okay) to put in my mouth. So, be ready for some puppy-proofing! Don't forget those vet visits! I'll need to stay up to date on my boosters and vaccines, which means a few trips to see my favorite vet in the first few months. But trust me, all that effort will be worth it when you experience the endless love, puppy kisses, and pure joy I'll bring into your life. So, if you're up for the challenge and the fun, why not come meet me in person? Stop by during our adoption hours. For more details, email info@ahconnects.org or give us a call at 847-697-2880 x: 0. The friendly folks here will be happy to answer all your questions! Can't wait to meet you and start our adventure together! Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.

Story
Hi, I'm Princess. Hi there! My name’s Princess, and I’m a 2-year-old Collie mix looking for my forever home. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but once I get to know you, you’ll see how sweet and gentle I am. I love to be around people and am always happy to offer my love and companionship. I do great with kids, especially once we have a gentle introduction — I just need a little time to feel comfortable. I may take a bit of time to settle in, but once I do, I’ll be your loyal and loving friend. I enjoy cozying up with you, going for walks, and getting lots of pets and attention. When I arrived at Anderson Animal Shelter from their partner shelter in Oklahoma, I tested positive for Heartworm. The staff believes that the best place for Heartworm positive dogs like me to be while going through treatments and recovering is with a loving and forever family like yours. If you choose to adopt me, the clinic staff will be with you every step of the way, answering questions and offering support. The process from detection to the final treatment is generally three months and involves some simple at-home steps to keep me safe while I recover. The last step in the process is a follow-up test six months after my treatment begins. The Heartworm treatment process is highly successful and the staff anticipates that I will fully recover! Yeah! And you should know that Heartworm can only be transmitted from animal to animal by mosquitoes. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate pup who’s ready to be your best friend, I just might be the perfect match! Let’s meet and see if we’re meant to be! Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. I hope to meet you soon! Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (6 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.
