So you would like to adopt one of our TSCR Collies?

First, thank you for considering our rescues. We have collies of all kinds and personalities. Dispositions range from extremely gentle to playful and rambunctious. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, have had most current vaccines, and are checked for heartworms and other health problems.

In order to continue assisting collies in need we require an adoption donation ranging from $75.00 - $350.00, depending on the expenses incurred on each individual rescue. All funds are used towards keeping our rescue viable. The donation on our seniors is negotiable.

Procedures for adopting are as follows:

l. Initial contact via email - Adoption Application

2. Mandatory phone interview after initial email contact. Please make sure your phone number and times for contact are listed on application.

3, Vet references

4. Picture of yard and residence

5. Appointment to see the dog

6. home visit
