TRI STATE COLLIE RESCUE SENIOR COLLIES
Our senior dogs are the most difficult to place in forever homes.
Many people are hesitant to open their heart to a senior dog knowing that their companionship period is going to be shorter. Most of these wonderful dogs have come from situations where they were once loved family members and have been taken care of and are even housebroken. One look into their eyes and you know how deeply they can love you. The graying muzzle cannot compete with a puppy but please take a moment to consider a senior dog. If you are looking for a quiet companion, one that doesn't make the exhausting demands a younger dog can, then maybe one of our elders is the dog for your family.

Kellie
Kelli is a 4 year old sable-headed white female collie. She is
uniquely colored with 1/2 of her face sable, and 1/2 white. She has one blue
eye, and one brown one and the sweetest collie expression on her beautiful face. Kelli
was turned into Tri-State Collie Rescue along with 10 other collies. All
had been kept outdoors, either in stalls in the barn, or in small dog
runs. She is quickly adjusting to being indoors with a soft bed, friends to play
with, a yard to explore, and being showered with lots of love and attention.
Kelli gets along beautifully with the two resident collies ( male and female),
and she is working very hard on her manners with cats. She is learning that
they are not to be eaten!! | ||

Jazzy 
Hello my name is Jazzy, I am a female who loves to play, I have a lot of energy and love to be with guys watching football. If you say touchdown I will jump up and bark every time. My dad thinks I like Ohio State but I just love getting attention, I like playing with other dogs and have the fun playing tug of war with them. Or I can have the fun returning stuff that you throw. I am fun loving, but I have a low immune system and will need a special diet. My foster parents can tell you more. Thanks you for reading this Jazzy | ||

Beauty
My name is Beauty, and while I don't look much like my name, I can again
some day. I was rescued from an abuse and neglect case by a
very nice dog warden who saved me from that terrible place.

me get better and help me find my new forever family.

Max is a big boy of approximately 90 lbs, more muscle then fat. He loves to be with people,seems to be very stable, and gets along with the foster mom and dad"s collies (both male and female). Once he is completely groomed and vetted he is going to be a real looker. Max is about 4/5 yrs of age. | ||

Kandi
This sweet, beautiful 6 year old girl would do great as the only dog or
sharing her spotlight with a smaller dog. She is curious about cats and
wishes she could play with them but is respectful of their space. She
absolutely loves kids. I just know she is trying to talk to them and she
tucks mine in at night. This gal is eager to please and has a lot of
love to give. She is housebroken with the exception of some confusion
when brought to foster home but a couple of days later she is back on track.
She has learned her basic manners such as sit, shake,and lay down. Kandi
will make a wonderful companion.

Brooke
Poor Brooke was adopted from a shelter approximately one year ago and stuck in a 10 x 10 and basically forgotten about. We received a call from the so -called owner telling us she had no time and wanted to surrender her. Needless to say when we saw the terrible condition she was in we did file a complaint with the shelter that allowed this person to even adopt Brooke. She was horribly matted (as you can tell by the picture) and maggots were all over her rear end where she had a huge open sore. She has since been to the vets, has been fully vetted and groomed and is doing wonderful. She is approximately 4 yrs old and seems to get along with some dogs. She is absolutely starved for attention from humans and responds with loving kisses when petted.

sweet & gentle 3yr old. Olive just arrived into foster care on 4/13/08.

Tri Puppies
- Adoption Pending
Two males and one female born on December 31, 2007

Lance
Lance is a 5 year old gentle giant. His owners moved and were unable to take him along. Lance walks well on a leash, loves to be groomed and is one of the gentlest collies I have met. He gets along well with all dogs, big and small, and I imagine cats too. There is not an aggressive bone in this boy’s body! His only fault is his weight, which is presently 84 pounds, but with a weight management diet and lots of walks, he’ll be back in shape in no time. He is happiest by your side and would fit in with any family. | ||
|
Missy
Missy is a 5yr old female Collie. She is housebroken,cat & dog friendly and loves children.
| ||
|
Sammy/Sandy
Sammy/Sandy is 5 yrs old and a great collie. He was an owner turn in due to moving and space. He appears to be housebroken, great with other dogs and absolutely loves to be around people. He listens well and would make a great companion.
| ||
|
Molly
Molly is a sable headed white, 4 year old collie that is a bit shy when she first meets you but warms up very nicely. She loves to play once she is acclimated to her surroundings. She does seem to prefer women over men; however she is doing great with her foster mom and dad. Molly is great with other dogs and is curious about cats. She is housebroken and needs that loving and understanding home she can call her own. | ||
|
Maggie - Adoption Pending 
Maggie was an owner
turn in due to a divorcee. She is housebroken, good with other dogs and
is approximately 5 years old. | ||
|
Darcy
She is exuberant and loves life, we do consider her a flight risk so a fenced in yard is a must. She gets along well with everyone and is basically a good girl, she just has not had much schooling. . . She loves being petted and fussed over but does not care much for the comb or brush. She is learning how to be a house pet and is doing pretty well. She will be going to the groomers to get her "make over" and will have new and better pictures once that is completed. Until then we will be working with her to make her a much better companion. | ||
|
Spirit
Spirit - is approximately 1 - 2 yrs of age and has a fantastic, sweet and very loving personality. She was picked up as a stray along with another male collie. However, the other collie didn't live to find the happy ending that Spirit will find since both dogs were given IVERMECTIN by the attending vet and the male died. Please read the caution on our home page regarding the use of Ivermectin. | ||

Fancy
I
am a sweet and cuddly 3-4 year old female and I get along well with my
foster family, with one exception, the cat. Since I've
never been around one before I think chasing and barking at him is fun, he
doesn't. I do great with older kids and my foster
families dogs. I am very laid back and enjoy being around people,
actually I am one of the happiest dogs you will meet. I am
also crate trained and house broken. I am a very chubby collie, but
that is one of the things that makes me so special.

Nala - Adoption Pending Nala is about 1 year old and a very fun
girl. She loves to play with other
dogs and will place her toys all over the house and amuse herself with them.
She may not do well with small children, as she likes to jump and
paw when she is excited; however, we are working on this with some basic
commands. She is a sweetheart, enjoys being groomed and fun to be
around. | ||
|
Lucy - Adoption Pending
Lucy is Belgium Tervuren /Sheltie cross. She is estimated at 4-5 years old. When Lucy arrived at TSCR she was very skittish, scared and untrusting of humans. Over the past month in foster care Lucy's personality has really come out. She is such a happy little girl & very trusting of humans. You just can’t help but look at her adorable face which has a big smile on it all the time. Lucy is housebroken, cat friendly and loves other dogs. Lucy is learning to walk on a leash without being scared. Lucy has a very big heart and a lot of love to give. She would make the perfect addition to any family looking for a loyal lovable companion. | ||
|
Rennie
Rennie is a 2 year old male who loves to ride in the car. He is looking for a loving family who will provide him with lots of attention, and love and soft toys. He loves to go to the dog park and gets along great with other dogs. He is interested in cats but doesn't seem to want to hurt them. Rennie appears to be housebroken and is doing well with children, although when they run he likes to use his "herding" instinct. He so wants to please and seems to be a quick learner.

Camper 
Camper is a 4yr old rough coat male who has been with TSCR for far too long. Camper has really grown into a beautiful collie with a wonderful loving personality. Over the past six months while in foster care Camper has learned manners, basic obedience & proved his strong need to be a part of a wonderful family. Camper gets along very well with other dogs but can tend to be the more "dominant" male of the pack. Camper is very protective of his human family & canine family. Camper had a very rough life until he came to TSCR where he has loved & cared for in a safe and happy enviroment. Camper is a very loyal collie who is eager to please his family. Although Camper still is somewhat "cat" curious he has shown no aggression towards cats just curiosity, he actually does very well with cats who have been socialized around dogs who are not afraid.
As Camper's foster mom my heart has fallen in love with this special boy but I
know at some point I will have to let him go. I have loved him from the time
I first saw his broken heart & battered soul, I have nourished
him, healed his wounds and taught him to love & trust again. Now it is
time to give him the happy, healthy life he so deserves with a family who will
love and cherish him I like do.

Collie/Shep
This Collie/Shep cutie with the enormous ears needs an experienced owner,
he's very sweet, loving and good natured, but has obviously had no training or
socialization, wherever he was before he ended up in the Youngstown shelter,
he's at about a three month level in a six to seven month old body. He's
made a good start on housetraining and knows sit, he's very trainable given
time and a lot of patience. He's good with other dogs, OK with strangers
if properly approached, very, very clingy with "his human".
Not recommended with young kids, he's very exciteable and hyper and tends to
jump and "herd nip" when in that state. Having said that, with the
right training someday he's going to be a beautiful, awesome companion for the
patient person! |

Stella
Stella is a mixture of Collie/Golden, and pure sweetness. She is about a year old, house trained, and still has some puppyness in her. She is helping her foster family find all sorts of things that should have been picked up and put away! Stella is great with children, loves to go for rides, behaves very well on walks and in pet stores. She is great with other dogs but needs to be introduced very gradually. She tends to be very afraid of men, sudden noises, and violin playing. Her foster home is full of these, so the family is working on getting her past these fears and to improve her musical taste.
