Male Dog, Collie
Collie (Long Coat)
Description:
"He is perfect in every way," cooed the vet tech when we went back for a check-up. And she's right! Caleb is a sweet, friendly, and playful 3-year-old collie. He greets everyone he meets with a smile and a tail wag, expecting to be best friends right away. He's calm in the house and in the neighborhood - a confident guy, even the neighbor's howling werewolf doesn't faze him! Caleb has corneal lipid/mineral deposits on his eyes. Therefore, he must be kept on a low fat diet. He is on meds for his eyes and it is best for him to be seen by a veterinary ophthalmologist. We took him for a first visit and he has a follow up visit scheduled for January. He does see well and we are hopeful that this is just a condition that will be best monitored with no further complications. Caleb is very playful, and spends his days racing around the backyard with his younger foster brother. He gets along with all dogs, and enjoys playdates with all the neighbors - all the kids come to his house! On wooded hikes he stays on the end of the leash but doesn't pull too hard; in the neighborhood, though, he gets excited when he sees squirrels! He loves watching them through the front window and chasing them when they scramble along the backyard fence, too. Sadly, he's not quite agile or fast enough to catch one! Caleb is a great house dog. He's firmly housebroken, doesn't get on furniture, and doesn't make any attempt to run out when the front door is opened. He has a classic soft sable coat, is mid-sized (about 60 pounds), and he is all happiness and smiles! Caleb would love a home with a big yard and an energetic playmate. He is a sweet, sweet boy, and will bring love and joy to any family lucky enough to adopt him! If you are interested in rescuing a collie, please complete this short adoption questionnaire.
