Adopt

We adopt our collies into Southern California homes only. If you live outside Southern California, please see The Collie Club of America's Rescue List for a listing of Collie Rescues by state, where we hope you'll find the right Collie Rescue. Southland Collie Rescue (SCR) reserves the right to refuse to adopt an SCR dog to any person for any reason. 

MEET ROMERO

This beautiful 2 year old Blue Merle Collie was relinquished to us from an elderly couple that couldn’t take care of him the way they knew he deserved. He is smart, sweet and playful. He gets along with other dogs great. He has only one eye as he was attacked over food when he was just a puppy and still with the breeder. Romero is now neutered and his teeth are sparkly clean! He has been cat tested and he’s good with kitties and other dogs! Though he thinks he is a ladies man and slightly obsessed with the females. Hmmm.. Maybe he should be named Romeo not Romero! We are hoping that will change after his hormones lessen from the neuter.  He is not a fan of crates. And for such a macho dog he whines. LOL His amazing foster thinks he would do best in a home with a doggie or as an only dog. . He is definitely a people focused dog!!!

MEET Yummy

Update on Yummy!  This 1-year-old,  big puppy is an absolute treasure!  From the moment you meet her she draws you into her fun circle!  She’s engaging, inquisitive, boisterous, and wants to befriend everyone she meets.  She is a lover, a leaner, a licker, and plays beautifully with dogs of all sizes and ages.  She can be a bit inquisitive about cats, though. Being the puppy that she is, Yummy will need some basic training.  But, as with all Collies, she is eager to learn and please.  After this coming Friday’s last vet visit to check her spay and her last vaccines, Yummy will be ready to go to her forever home!  If you are interested in giving Yummy a loving, stable, wonderful home, please go to our website at collie.org and fill out an application.

MEET PRECIOUS

Precious and her sister Sweetie, 8 months old, were brought to us by a rescue partner in Arizona. They are both purebred rough Collies and as sweet as can be. Hence their names! Precious is extremely outgoing, confident and playful. She gets along great with all the dogs in the pack at her foster’s house. She is now spayed, had all of her shots and ready for her forever home! They are NOT a bonded pair and can be adopted out individually.

Meet Sweetie- ADOPTED!!

Sweetie and her sister Precious, 8 months old, were brought to us by a rescue partner in Arizona. They are both purebred rough Collies and as sweet as can be. Hence their names! Sweetie loves to play, loves to have fun with all the dogs in the foster’s pack. She is puppy goofy right now! But we think that’s because she is hanging with her more independent sister, Precious. She is now spayed, had all of her shots and ready for her forever home! They are NOT a bonded pair and can be adopted individually.

MEET RYLIE- ADOPTED!

This precious 9 year old Mahogany Sable Collie came in with Romero when they were relinquished to us by an elderly couple that couldn’t take care of them the way they knew the two deserved. She was so matted that it took hours to turn her coat into the collie we all know she is. She gets along with everyone. Her foster kitty sister t was washing her face. She walks well on a leash. She's very affectionate and loves attention. Her foster mom says she hangs out with both of her collies and fits right in. Like so many seniors we get, she needs a good dental. We are on it at SCR! If you are interested in giving her a perfect forever home fill out an app! (Intake Photo. New pic coming)

MEET SHILOH-ADOPTED!

Look at handsome Shiloh! Shiloh is around 2-3 years old, full of energy, and in need of an active, fun-filled, and loving family. He can play all day, but then will want to come and snuggle with you all night! He’s great with dogs, cats, kids, and people. He’s a fast learner and wants to please, but still being a big puppy, he will need a bit of training! He came to us through a sister rescue who was helping a breeder who was retiring. So grateful he reached out to rescue to place his beautiful dogs in loving homes.. (Intake photo. New Pic coming)

Meet BeLLE- ADOPTED!

Welcome, Belle, our beautiful 4-5 year-old female sable who came in with Shiloh. Belle is our typical collie! Smart, sweet, gentle and affectionate. This gorgeous girl is great with people and other dogs, but not so excited about cats. She and Shiloh are NOT a bonded pair. So they can be adopted separately. We are learning more about her every day. If interested please fill out an app! (Intake photo. New Pic coming)


Meet Prince-adoptED!

Meet Prince! We got this beautiful boy and his little sister, Lil’ Lady from a wonderful rescuer who saved them during Covid. He is a happy and playful three year old purebred rough sable collie. What can we say… now that he is neutered he already has a family waiting in the wings! Welcome to SCR Prince!


MEET PENNY LANE-AdoPTED!

Whether you’re a Beatles fan or simply adore beautiful collies, you’ll fall in love with Penny Lane!

Penny is a 1 1/2-year-old spayed sable female collie who is an absolute bundle of energy. She loves other dogs and needs to be adopted by a family with at least one other very active dog. She is probably too excited for any children under eight years old, and she has not yet been cat-tested.

Penny is up-to-date on her vaccines, her MDR1 test is normal/normal, she is house-trained, walks on a leash, travels well in the car…and Penny Lane loves toys and balls!

Penny is very intelligent and also somewhat headstrong, so her new family must be up to the task of continuing her training and positive reinforcement.

MEET IGGY -AdoptED!

18-month-old Iggy is now off of medical hold having recovered from his neutering.  He has passed his medical checks with flying colors, has been microchipped and is up to date on his vaccines. He is still a bit underweight for his size but is gaining weight on good food.  Having spent
the last few weeks with us, we can say is a most wonderful collie boy.  He is very energetic and active and will require a larger sized yard to run in. He is very friendly with people and other dogs and would probably do best in a home with another energetic dog.  We don't know how he will do with cats, but he chases birds out of the yard and barks at them in the trees.  He loves to play with toys and will chase balls until you are tired out.  Iggy was born in Mexico, on January 15, 2023, and is bilingual, answering some commands in Spanish or English.  He is housebroken, well behaved in the home and travels well in the car.  However, he wants to be with his people and has jumped over the baby gate to get to us.  He has very long legs!

Meet Little Lady-ADOPTED!

This sweet angel came to us from an amazing rescuer who saved her after Covid. She is tiny as far as collies go. She only weighs 40 pounds. She may be small but she has a huge collie heart! Her foster says she is a real lady! She is reserved and shy until she gets to know you. This beauty is housebroken and crate trained. The perfect owners for Little Lady will have the time and the patience to work with her realizing she is not the usual boisterous collie. But she wants to please. This tiny collie angel deserves her own family that will love her forever.

Meet Diesel-ADopted!!!

Diesel is a very adorable 3 year old Tri- Color Rough Collie! He loves kids! Loves to play catch! He is crate trained and a total love bug! He is a very easy dog who wants to please. Unless it’s in a bath. He is not a fan! But he will do his best to make you happy. He is everything you dream of in a collie. Loyal, intelligent, and loves his people. He gets along great with other dogs and seems to be fine with cats. The perfect home for him would be with someone wanting to fill his life with fun and exercise and games that make him think! After all…he is a collie.


Billy-ADOPTION HOLD!

Billy! As we have said many times before, sometimes rescue is about helping the family as much as the dog. It was very difficult for Billy‘s owner to realize that he needed to be in a place where he could run and play and get more attention. This boy was totally loved and cared for. But sometimes life is difficult for us humans! Thankfully Billy’s mom loved him enough to call SCR for help. Area Coordinator, Karen Laramay,
