Story
If Pippa's unique ear-style doesn't melt your heart, her sweet personality sure will! Pippa is a 35-lb, one and a half year old low rider. We obviously don't know what she's mixed with, but she has the physique of a corgi and the coloring of a border collie, and the energy level of a playful potato. She is goofy, sweet, and smart; happy to lounge on the couch and sunbathe in the grass one minute, then a full-on play machine in the next (in short, joyful bursts). She bonds deeply with her person and would make the perfect sidekick to whomever is lucky enough to be her family. She's a little unsure of new noises and hesitant of new people at first but once she warms up, her silly, snuggly personality shines brightly. She's crate-trained and mostly potty-trained. She walks well on the leash but can't seem to make up her mind about which side to walk on! Pippa would thrive in a home with a friendly and confident resident dog buddy, a gentle human who is home most of the day, and an outdoor space (yard, patio, balcony, or nearby park) to sunbathe and stretch her short little legs. If you live in DC/MD/NoVa and are looking for a loyal shadow with laid-back energy, playful heart, and ready to be your best hype woman-fill out an application below to adopt Pippa! https://forms.gle/6Tg4DPk8zc516fAg6

Story
Meet David Bowie! Take one look at my photo and you’ll see how I got my name—I’m rocking one piercing ice-blue eye, one warm brown eye, and two spectacular radar ears! I’m an almost one-year-old Collie/Husky mix, and at a lean 32 pounds, I’m the ultimate lightweight sidekick. I'm a gentle, sensitive boy navigating the world with a tender heart. Fast movements and loud noises make me jump, and I can be a little head-shy at first, but once I realize you’re a safe space, I soften right up. I take treats with the gentlest mouth, adore soft pets, and on walks, my signature move is sticking right against your legs like a devoted little shadow. (I do just ask for a peaceful corner where I can finish my dinner in peace! ) Want to see my goofy side erupt? Introduce me to another dog! I absolutely light up around furry pals—I even threw a big play-bow to my own reflection in the mirror! Having a confident, friendly canine brother or sister at home would be a game-changer to show me the ropes. Because fast movements still startle me, a patient, low-key home without young kiddos will give me the space I need to truly thrive. The vet care is already checked off: I’m neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all my vaccines! If you’ve got a soft spot for gentle souls and a ready-made canine playmate at home, come say hi to me! ##2841879##

Story
Marg is an Old Time Scotch Collie. OTSC's are kind, biddable, and easy to train.Loves POSITIVE training and having a job to do. But unlike many working dogs, OTSC's have an 'off switch'.Three dogs and I'm getting more health issues. Hard to meet the needs of all three. I love Marg dearly and want what is best for her.Marg is mature enough to be easy and young enough to be active.She has EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency). Easy to handle with enzymes added to food. She is expected to live a normal lifespan. Otherwise a VERY HEALTHY DOG.Trained with positive reinforcement.Like to hike? She's your girl!Loves little puppiesGood with kids but never lived with any. Very cuddly and would love an older kid.Lived happily with a cat before. Intros with other dogs need to be slow but she's sweet and playful with her doggy friends.Suburban or rural location preferred.Breed info: www.scotchcollie.org$100 fee to help ensure she goes to someone who will take care of her.

Story
Meet Duffy — a gorgeous young collie with a bright smile, a playful spirit, and so much love to give to the right family. Born on October 13, 2024, Duffy is still very much a puppy at heart. At home with the people and dogs he knows, he is affectionate, silly, and incredibly loving. He adores snuggling on the sofa, handing out enthusiastic kisses, and spending his days playing with his canine friends. He requires a home with another young, playful dog and a large fenced yard where he can run, wrestle, and burn off his youthful energy. Duffy is also a smart and well-mannered boy. He is neutered, housebroken, well trained, and generally a wonderful house companion — though he does occasionally enjoy “redecorating” with any paper products he can find. Like many young dogs, he’s still discovering what counts as a toy! What Duffy truly needs, though, is a patient and understanding adopter. New people and unfamiliar environments can make him nervous, and he tends to express that uncertainty by barking. He is not aggressive at all, but he does need time, slow introductions, and consistency in order to feel safe and comfortable. Once he trusts you, his sweet and loyal personality shines through beautifully. Duffy is not the kind of dog who will walk into a new home and instantly act like he’s lived there forever. He’s the kind of dog whose trust is earned — and for the right person, that bond will be incredibly rewarding. Watching him grow in confidence and blossom into the happy, loving companion he wants to be is something very special. He’s also going to be absolutely stunning as he matures. Already tall and handsome, Duffy’s full collie coat is still coming in, and he is only getting more beautiful with age. Duffy is looking for a calm but active home, a playful dog companion, and people who understand that some sensitive dogs simply need a little extra time and patience. In return, he’ll give endless affection, loyalty, laughter, and love. If you are interested in rescuing a collie, please complete this short adoption questionnaire. Our standard adoption fee is $450. This fee helps us to cover (and sometimes only partially cover) the expense of providing each dog with a Health Exam, Rabies/DHPP vaccines, Heartworm Test, Heartworm Preventative, Flea & Tick Protection, Microchip, Neuter/Spay, a Bath and any other medical needs.  Thank you for your consideration in adopting a collie in need!!!

Story
Dutchess is an incredibly sweet, gentle girl with a wonderful balance of playful energy and calm companionship. She loves spending time with people, happily soaking up pets and affection, and she’s just as content relaxing by your side as she is joining in the fun.  We estimate her to be about 8 years old.  One of Duchess’s favorite things is food! She has an excellent appetite, eats enthusiastically, and seems to have a very high metabolism. Mealtime is definitely one of the highlights of her day. When she’s with other dogs, Duchess enjoys running and playing. Most of the time she’s calm and mellow, but every so often she’ll surprise you by springing into the air with all four feet off the ground before taking off in pursuit of her playmates. That playful burst of excitement is always fun to watch and perfectly complements her otherwise easygoing personality. Duchess takes cues from the other dogs around her but also has an independent streak. Sometimes she’ll head outside the moment you ask, while other times she’ll decide she’d rather stay put. However, once you clip on a leash, she walks gently and compliantly wherever you lead her—even if it wasn’t the direction she originally wanted to go. Thunderstorms can still make Duchess a little uneasy, but she’s making steady progress and continues to gain confidence. She’s also a dream to groom. Duchess patiently sits while being brushed and seems to enjoy the attention, making grooming sessions easy and relaxing for everyone involved. Overall, Duchess is a loving, adaptable dog who would fit well with a family looking for a companion that can switch effortlessly between playful adventures and quiet cuddle time. Her sweet nature, gentle manners, and affectionate personality make her a joy to have around.If you are interested in rescuing a collie, please complete this short adoption questionnaire.

Story
Handsome, playful, and full of personality, Zane is a young boy who's ready to find a family of his own! Zane loves to run and show off his joyful zoomies around the yard. He's an active, fun-loving dog who enjoys playtime and would love a home where he can stretch his legs and be part of the family's adventures. When it comes to mealtime, Zane is a dream—he's a great eater with no food issues. He's also crate trained, housebroken, and comes when called, making him an easy companion to have in the home. Zane does enjoy playing with other dogs, but he can be selective about his canine friends, especially during first introductions. Because of this, we believe he would be happiest as the only dog in his new home, where he can soak up all the love and attention for himself. Overall, Zane is a very nice boy with a sweet nature and so much love to give. He's looking for a family that will appreciate his playful spirit, continue his training, and make him a cherished member of the household. Could Zane be the missing piece of your family? He can't wait to meet you!If you are interested in rescuing a collie, please complete this short adoption questionnaire. Our standard adoption fee is $450.

Story
ADOPT ACOYEE! Acoyee is a mature and wise man. At 8 years of age, he's technically a senior who knows a thing or two about life, but still got the spunk in his steps! This 65lbs happy pup is affectionate and loves his scratches. He turns and leans into your body to show and receive the love he craves. His foster described him as a super chill pup who is content to nap while you're doing stuff around the house. He is a great walker and loves to go on walks, but he is a bit reactive on the leash to other dogs and wildlife. He is perfectly potty trained, not a fan of the crate, and LOVES to learn new tricks. He knows the basics like sit, paw and speak. And he also knows some advanced things like going to fetch his leash when it's time for a walk! He loves to pull toys for a good game of tug of war. Stuffed toys won't last very long with him, he likes to tear them apart. The cattle dog in him is FIERCELY loyal. Like most cattle dogs, he certainly has a good amount of stranger danger. But once you take some time to earn his trust and you're in his circle of trust, he will be your best friend for life. He will do best in a quiet home in a quiet area without a lot of comings and goings, with a fenced in yard, and without another dog. If you live in DC/MD/NoVa and wish to ask Acoyee to join your family, please fill out an application for him on our website to begin the process: https://forms.gle/GYHWGHiHCbxqZJae6
