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 Oliver/Ollie!
Oliver is a smooth collie mix who was born on January 4, 2018 into a litter of 10. His father was a short-haired merle collie and his mother was collie-pharaoh hound mix. He was originally adopted at the too-young age of 4 weeks and has grown into a gorgeous 90+ pound bundle of energy. At 18 months, he is still very much a puppy...a BIG puppy...with all of a puppy’s affection, playfulness as well as, unbridled energy. While Ollie loves to cuddle, play fetch, tug of war and run around with other big dogs, sometimes, he can also be somewhat grabby and quite protective.
Ollie was neutered at 6 months and is fully house-trained. He is very, very smart and knows basic commands having worked with two trainers. Oliver needs a very active and engaging home life. He requires a yard with lots of space so he can run around to burn off his still-puppy energy. He could probably be trained to be a great agility or working farm dog. Oliver absolutely requires a physically and mentally strong person who is willing to devote the necessary time to continue his training. This individual needs to be an exceptionally savvy dog person who is motivated to work with Ollie to make him into a great companion.
Because of Oliver’s size and energy, he will not be adopted into a household with cats, small dogs or children under the age of 16. If you are interested in Ollie please email Mitch at resqcats@aol.com
TREVOR - ADOPTED!
SCR received a call from one of our rescue friends in Utah asking if we could help with Trevor. There is no Collie Rescue in Utah nor close by and our friends knew we would find the best Collie home possible for this sweet 2 yr. old tri rough collie boy. He was rescued from an older woman living in a small trailer who purchased him from an ad believing him to be a Sheltie. Trevor was way to big, too active, and needing more space. Trevor is a 65#, energetic and a very sweet full sized Collie. He came in with information that he had had some mild seizures in the past and was on phenobarbital, but was taken off. Our dermatology vet diagnosed him with “collie nose”, a form of Lupus which isn’t life threatening. Vet work was started right away and he was put back on medication for his seizure activity and began meds for his lupus. He will most likely be on these medications for both conditions for life. Trevor is housebroken, gets along with all dogs and loves to play and loves his toys. He is a velcro dog who follows you everywhere. Right now he shows too much interest in cats and for the cats’ peace of mind, he needs a home without any. Trevor is super sweet and loving. He needs some basic obedience training but he knows sit and he comes when called. He needs a family who will be diligent in monitoring his epilepsy and collie nose for a lifetime. He is a wonderful family dog.
Bonnie-ADOPTED!!!!
The Scottish called their collies Bonnie Lasses, and now you know why she is named Bonnie. This gentle elder 11 year old collie is all that a collie should be. Sweet, adoring, housebroken and gets along with all animals and loves people and children. She has mobility issues due to a torn ACL that was not properly operated on. But she gets around with the cutest hitch in her step! She came to SCR after her owner passed. The family tried to keep her but it was too much for them. She lived outside of her owners home for months as they put a plan in place. And SCR was it! We are happy to help this family find a forever home for this beautiful girl.
Alexandria-ADOPTED!!!!
ADOPTED!!! . This beautiful 8 year old tri-color collie is happily adopted!! Her story was another sad rescue tale. Alexandria and her sister Cambria came to SCR on a minute's notice. Cambria needed immediate emergency attention and unfortunately, we had to let her go from bloat with complications. Allie was then found to have a large abdominal mass the size of a grapefruit with the risk of it bursting. She has gone through successful surgery and spaying. Best of all the tumor was found to be completely benign. Allie now has her stitches out and will continue to heal in both body and soul in her forever home. She is a lovely collie girl. Happy tails endings for Allie!
MEET the hawaii three!
ALL THREE ARE NOW Adopted!
Marcel, Morgan and Mickey were brought to us after their breeder passed away in Hawaii. we are all excited to say that their fosters each adopted them! They are all learning to be inside dogs versus kennel/show dogs. They are learning how great life is in the home of a family that truly cares about their well being. They have gone through so many medical needs from neutering to teeth cleaning, extractions, ex-rays and more. They are here thanks to the donations made by so many people around the country! Not to mention the Collie Club of Hawaii and The Collie Rescue Foundation.
OUR DOGS IN PERMANENT FOSTER FOREVER HOMES
These beautiful collies have landed in what we call Permanent Foster Forever Homes. Southland Collie Rescue has decided that either due to medical reasons, temperament or age that the best place for them is with one of our loving experienced Foster Families. These foster families are like gold to SCR. They help with the old ones that no one wants to adopt. Or they have the experience and patience to deal with medical issues that make a dog too hard for a new family to handle. Sometimes it is just easier on a dog to not be sent to yet another new home. Sometimes just letting them settle in for the rest of their life in the caring arms of their foster is the perfect place for them to be.
We do not have any collies currently in Permanent Foster Homes. However, we are always looking for the right family to give a permanent home to our special needs dogs when they come in. If you are interested please email us at info.collie@gmail.com
