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

Simon

Simon is a 4 year old sable smooth collie. Simon lived with one family since he was 5 months old. The family loved him but eventually realized that Simon was not the best fit for them. Simon has been in an NCR foster home for about a month for evaluation. He is doing well and is going to make someone very happy in the right home.

Simon is one of those special collies that we get in from time that would thrive in a working/performance home. He is exceptionally smart and curious. He is playful and has a sense of humor, which we know sounds strange but that's the only way to describe some of his antics. For example, he loves to bring people his toys and other objects.

Simon gets along well with other dogs, as you can see in this picture of him in training with the foster home's collies. He is great with cats and other small animals. He walks well on a leash and loves to ride in a car. He is not only crate trained, he enjoys the safety of his crate. He is fastidiously housebroken. As with all NCR dogs, he is already neutered, microchipped and current on his vaccinations.

If you think that you can provide the ideal home for Simon, Please contact Cathy at cathy@calcollierescue.org
