My beloved #rescue #collie died suddenly yesterday morning - 9 years old. An empath, an old and loving soul, a true companion. I am shattered. If anyone knows of a collie dog that needs a home, I have been rescuing and adopting collies for 38 years. Please reach out any time. Thank you.
@bespacific As someone who lost a dog recently... I know and I'm so sorry. I'll start to scout rescue dogs as well in a few weeks.
@evewrites they are hard to find. Back in the day the breed rescues were just a couple of good folks who spent a lot of time and money rescuing, providing medical care for and then placing dogs in good homes. Now it is as a highly controlled enterprise that depending on breed can shut out potential adoptees. Backyard collies are very common in the south and the dogs often have lots of health challenges. Each and every dog deserves a loving home. Best of luck on your upcoming effort.
