Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process  Meet the sweetest boy Martin. He’s an approx 1.5 yr & 30lb Sheltie mix. Left out in dumping grounds with other dogs, Martin was taken in by an independent rescuer. He was malnourished, dirty, and extremely shy. Fast forward to today and Martin has grown into his beautiful coat and is learning to trust again. He doesn’t quite understand how to be a puppy just yet but he is extremely sweet and he’s making great strides. He’s currently being fostered with other dogs of all sizes and will melt into your touch, once he gets to know you.  We’d love to get Martin into a home with someone who will continue to love on him and bring out his personality full time and have a playful dog that will help teach him how to be a puppy.  To meet Martin, please apply at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html  August 9, 2025, 11:41 am

Story
We are looking for a PERMANENT FOSTER HOME in California for this wonderful bonded pair. What is a permanent foster? It is when you bring an SCR dog into your home and heart for the rest of their precious lives and the rescue covers all the medical bills until they cross the Rainbow Bridge. Katy and Yuan Bao were very loved. But their owners fell on hard times and relinquished them to us. They are both 10-11. Katy is very sweet and lovable. But she is diabetic. This is very easy to manage as it only requires a shot 30 minutes after her breakfast. She walks well on a leash, is quite spry and active for her age. She enjoys playing with toys. She needs to be adopted with Yuan Bao. Can you give these two beauties their perfect home to live out their lives together? If you're interested in this bonded pair, please complete an application at ww.collie.org.
We'll also keep you updated on Yuan Bao's adoption status with email updates.

We are looking for a PERMANENT FOSTER HOME in California for this wonderful bonded pair. What is a permanent foster? It is when you bring an SCR dog into your home and heart for the rest of their precious lives and the rescue covers their medical bills until they cross the Rainbow Bridge. Yuan came in with Katy after they were relinquished by owners who were going through hard times. They were very loved. Yuan is great with people- very very affectionate. He will play with toys, he walks well on a leash. But he is very protective of Katy and his people. At 10-11 years old it was his job to protect her. He will chase down small animals and become extremely protective if he feels Katy or his person is in danger. We do not suggest he is in a home with other animals or small children. He does need to be together with Katy. He is a lover that Katy used as her protector for their life together. If you can give them a home together where Yuan can love you and take care of Katy you will truly be their heroes. If you're interested in this wonderful bonded pair, please complete an application at www.collie.org.

Story
Sage is a beautiful 10-year-old sable Rough Collie who still has plenty of pep in her step! She loves her walks, enjoys car rides (and even knows how to climb a ladder to get in!), and is great with stairs. This sweet girl is friendly with everyone — dogs, people, kids, and even babies — but she’s not a fan of cats. She adores tummy rubs, chatting with her people, and being part of the action. Sage came to us after her beloved owner passed away, and she’s now ready to find her next forever home filled with love and care. She’s recovering from some minor skin issues, so her adopter will need to help her stay comfortable with regular grooming, clean bedding, good nutrition, and lots of love. Sage is proof that age is just a number — she’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and loyalty to her next family. Is it you????
