Story
Meet Piper. 5.5-6 yrs old. She’s been fully vetted and is ready for adoption. Piper came from a local shelter as a stray. Her medical has been lengthy and expensive as she went through heartworm treatment and had entropian surgery for one of her eyes. That’s where they fix the eyelashes from rolling inward and scratching the eye causing it to weep from irritation. She’s all healthy and feeling great. Piper is sweet, playful and mostly obedient. She is completely housebroken. Though Piper likes to play with other dogs she needs to be in a no other dog home since she resource guards her food. She would just love having a person she can snuggle on the couch with. We had Piper DNA’d and she is 50/50 smooth collie & husky. You may apply for Piper at https://houstoncollierescue.org/ado.../adoption-application/We adopt anywhere in Texas, OKC and Louisiana.

Story
Lily is an 18 month old Collie / Australian Cattle Dog mix who loves learning with her person! At just 41 lbs, she is agile, fine boned, and petite with velvety-soft short fur and the sweetest eyes. Lily would prefer a home without cats and small animals. She would like to be the only object of her person’s affection, or have a dog friend who is bigger than her and doesn’t mind some rough-and-tumble play at times. She likes to rule the roost, but will accept redirection from dogs who are larger than her. Lily loves to sit in your lap, but won’t smother you with kisses. She just wants to be close to you. Since Lily is 50% Cattle Dog, she is very intelligent but also cautious of new situations, choosing to observe and settle in with her person rather than burst into the room with gusto. She is enrolled with AKC Canine Partners which means she can use her excellent brain to compete in a variety of AKC events. She has even already started Scent Work training! Lily is so smart, she knows how to open some gates and wire crates to let her friends out to play with her, or get the remaining tidbits of food they left over. A simple clip keeps that from happening. Lily is crate trained, but instead sleeps in a doggie-safe room at night and while unsupervised. She walks well on a leash and sticks close to her person. She prefers treats over toys (especially those with stuffing…she operates on them quite quickly!) and is very food motivated. Her current family will help make the transition successful and give you tips on keeping Lily’s mind sharp and engaged. Ready for a loving companion who will watch a movie with you, but also get you off your feet to train and play? Apply to adopt Lily at houstoncollierescue.org.

Story
Meet Diesel (aka Mr. Floof)! Diesel is a friendly, sweet 1.5 year old Great Pyrenes mix weighing about 70 pounds. Diesel loves car rides and going on adventures. He would be a great protector to watch over your property, thus the GP. He has nice manners in the house, is kennel trained and walks nicely on a leash. He will need some reminders about not jumping when he’s excited. Diesel has a lot of energy and loves to play and run! The perfect adopter will appreciate a dog who loves lots of attention, petting and grooming, and who wants to be your best friend. Diesel is a gentle giant with a soft personality. His ideal home would be out in the country with room to run and a home to protect. Because of his size, a home with small children is not recommended. And yes, Diesel’s ears are in two different places on his head, so he always looks like a cartoon dog! If Diesel is your guy, apply at HoustonCollieRescue.org.

Story
My wife and I found Lilikoi (Lily for short) wandering a busy road one evening over a month ago. She was nervously trying to cross the street and no one bothered to stop for her. We made a U-turn and I put on my hazard lights and guided her to a nearby parking lot. My wife got out of the car to approach her and she was sweet as could be. She jumped in my car and we took her to a nearby vet to get scanned for a microchip. With no chip, collar, or tags, we decided to take her in for the meantime. We named her Lilikoi after the large yellow Hawaiian passion fruit.We took her to the vet, got a full round of vaccinations, and put her on preventive medication to make sure she was in best health and kept her in our home. Unfortunately, we already have 3 other dogs and even though she gets along well with them, we didn't have plans for a 4th. With our busy schedules, we've decided to re-home this sweet girl to someone that could actually give her the care and attention that she deserves.
