Wordless Wednesday…Love Is

 Helping those who need a friend.

There has been an increase in collies in need of rescue.  The collie rescue groups are currently overwhelmed and need new volunteers to foster, or they won’t be able to take in the new collies that are currently waiting for rescue.  If you’ve been considering fostering, or adopting a rescue collie, this is the perfect time!  These are just a few of the collies available, but as they are bonded pairs, they are having the most difficulty finding foster or forever homes.  The first pair are especially heartbreaking, as seniors will always have a special place in my heart.

Meet Zamboni and Fancy

We are posting these two sweeties in the hopes someone will offer to foster them.  We are experiencing an unprecedented number of collies in need of assistance.  We had a foster home lined up, but there was a family emergency requiring the foster to leave the country.

Here is a little bit about them.  Regrettably, their owner recently passed.  The male tri is named Zamboni and is 8 years old.  The female sable is named Fancy and is 12.  Both are spayed/neutered.  They have lived with cats.  Very friendly around all people including children.  The family members are taking care of them now but cannot do so much longer.

We are committed to keeping them together.  If you wish to foster and have not yet done so for us before, we will need a foster app completed.  Contact us at fosterdirector@CRLNE.org.  We now have an electronic application.  (Yay, Doug!)  If you need a paper app, we can provide that as well.  We have world class volunteers who will help with transport.  We cover all veterinary costs, prescriptions and grooming.

We are open to adopting to the foster home if desired.  Some of our volunteers like to foster, and some end up falling in love with their foster(s) and can't say goodbye and want to adopt.  More than one board member has become a foster failure (cough, cough) over the years.  The single most important outcome is to place them in a wonderful home together.

Let us know if you can help.

Meet Milo and Buckwheat

Here's a couple of fellas lookin' for their furever home... meet brothers Milo & Buckwheat! They are funny, four-year-old boys who like to go on adventures! They grew up around Lake Champlain, so are no strangers to the water, and the Adirondacks gave them lots of opportunities to hike. They like doin' whatever you're doin'!!! They like cats! And are snugglebunnies! They are vocal, protective, and like to herd things, too, including children. As such, we feel like they'd be best suited to a family with middle-school age children and up. If you're interested in fostering (or adopting) these two striking, sable 'n white fellows, email our foster director: fosterdirector@crlne.org

And from Freedom Collie Rescue

They are coming in faster than we can keep up!  We  just took in six Collies in the last week and a half. We’ve been asked to take two more today. We do not put our Collies in boarding so we need Foster Homes so we can accept them into our rescue.

If you are in Texas, and you think you may be able to foster, please go to our website and click on applications at the top and then click on Foster application and you can fill it out online.  We cover all vet bills, heartworm prevention, and cover dog food expenses. Please apply at freedomcollierescue.org

Meet Chester and Pepper

Two more sweet arrivals. Chester our rough Tri had a good grooming and is now worn out. Pepper our pretty smoothie also was groomed and both are settling into their foster homes. Big shout out to William for picking up these two and to Cecelia and Brad for a 3 hour drive to get Chester. Thank you Angela for your transport support too! Six collies into rescue!  Five we had prepared for and one was a surprise surrender. Working on fosters for two more waiting to come in. If you are in Texas and can foster for us, please go to our website and fill out a Foster application. We cover all vetting, heartworm, medication, and food.

Help us help them!
