My story

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ–ค Meet Collie ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿพ A quiet mama who deserves her own forever home ๐Ÿ’ซ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•A special dog ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’• ๐Ÿท Profile ๐Ÿถ Name: Collie โš–๏ธ Weight: 13 kg (28.6 lbs) ๐ŸŽ‚ Age: Approx. 3 years ๐Ÿšบ Gender: Female (Spayed) ๐Ÿ• Breed: Border Collie + Laika mix ๐ŸŽจ Color: Black & White โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’” Her Story Collie was rescued from a large illegal breeding facility while pregnant ๐Ÿค She had spent her life confined in a small cage and was separated from her puppies shortly after giving birth. Because of long-term confinement and frequent relocations, she began showing stress-related repetitive behaviors. Since moving into a stable foster home, she has improved so much ๐ŸŒฟ She feels safest resting in small, cozy spaces and has learned what it means to live in a home. Collie doesnโ€™t demand attention or constant affection. She is quiet, gentle, and low-maintenance ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ We are looking for a family who can love her just as she is. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿถ Personality & Social Skills โœ”๏ธ Good with other dogs ๐Ÿ• โš ๏ธ Chases cats ๐Ÿฑ โšก Medium energy ๐Ÿคฒ Can be handled ๐Ÿ”• Rarely barks (and even then, softly) ๐Ÿšช Escape caution needed โ€” secure home required โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿก Training & Lifestyle ๐Ÿšฝ Outdoor potty trained (can use pads if urgent) ๐Ÿ  Comfortable in a crate ๐Ÿฆฎ Walks nicely on leash ๐ŸŽ— No leash reactivity to people or dogs ๐Ÿš— Rides well in the car ๐Ÿงธ No destructive behavior ๐Ÿฝ No appetite issues โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ  Home Environment ๐Ÿข Apartment living: Possible ๐ŸŒฟ Yard: Would be nice, not required ๐Ÿพ Only dog or multi-dog home: Both okay She may not show big, dramatic affection, but she loves treats ๐Ÿช and even comes to greet her foster in the mornings โ˜€๏ธ Her puppies have already found their families. Now itโ€™s Mama Collieโ€™s turn ๐Ÿ’› All she needs is a warm corner of a home and someone willing to give her quiet understanding ๐Ÿกโœจ Please give Collie the chance she has never had ๐Ÿ–ค

If you have any questions or would like to adopt COLLIE, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
