Collie Rescue in northern California: NorCal Collie Rescue

NorCal Collie Rescue is a nonprofit corporation* founded by collie lovers who are dedicated to taking responsibility for each and every collie. Collies come to rescue from many sources, including animal shelters, death of the primary caretaker, people whose health has changed, breeders, divorce and many other circumstances.

Our volunteers take in and rehome collies in California north of the Tehachapis. If you are in southern California, please contact Southland Collie Rescue. NCR will not ship collies or place them out of state, but we do collaborate with collie rescues adjacent to our area of coverage.

Collie of the Week

Kipper

Kipper is a very gentle and friendly smooth-coated collie. We are not sure how old he is, but we estimate between 9 to 11 years. He is still quite playful for an older guy, and will even get quite frisky, in his mild mannered way. You should see him when he sees his leash! He loves to go for long walks and car rides. In fact he would be a great travel companion. He is used to taking long car rides from Northern California down to Southern California.

Kipper is perfect with cats, children of all ages, and he likes other dogs, but he has been an only dog for the past 3 years and would like that as well. He loves people and is very affectionate. He loves to be petted and brushed. Giving him a bath, trimming his nails, any attention he gets, is just fine.

Kipper was dearly loved by his family who adopted him from us 3 years ago. But, they have fallen on hard times, like so many people have, and had to relocate. Kipper had 3 little girls, that were broken hearted when they had to give him up. They took wonderful care of Kipper, so he is in pretty good shape for his age.

Kipper had already been debarked when he was found stray 3 years ago and ended up in an animal shelter, so he is a very quiet guy. You won’t have to worry about barking bothering the neighbors at all. Kipper is a true delight and it is unfortunate that he is again looking for a forever home.

Kipper is neutered and up to date on his shots and heartworm testing. Kipper's adoption fee will be low and negotiable because of his age. New 02.04.2010
