Collie and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Lenny, a happy, goofy, and affectionate dog who is ready to find his forever family. Lenny weighs 50 pounds and is four years old. He appears to be Collie/Lab and Collie mix (or something very similar) and he has the sweet, people-loving nature to match.

Lenny loves being around humans and thrives on attention, affection, and companionship. He’s friendly and gentle with people, does well with children, and has been around many different dogs, all of whom he’s gotten along with beautifully. While he hasn’t been exposed to cats, he has shown himself to be social, playful, and well-mannered.

This big-hearted boy is playful and a little goofy in the very best way. He loves pets, kisses, and being part of whatever people are doing. Lenny is housetrained, walks well on a leash, travels calmly in the car, and has no food aggression. He may bark when he hears doorbells or knocks, but overall he settles well with routine and reassurance.

Lenny would do best in a home with someone who has some dog experience, as he benefits from structure and consistency. Apartment living is possible for him, though a smaller building rather than a large high-rise would be ideal. While Lenny doesn’t have separation anxiety and is not destructive if a family lives in an apartment it would be best if meone works from home. This is because if left alone he may bark while waiting for his family to return.

Lenny has so much potential and would truly shine with continued training. He would do wonderfully in obedience classes, agility training, group play, or doggie daycare, where he can burn energy, learn new skills, and socialize. He would be happy as an only dog or with another canine companion, and we believe he would do well with children aged eight and up.

Lenny is a joyful, loving boy who simply wants to be included, guided, and loved. With the right home, he will be an incredibly loyal and fun companion who brings laughter, warmth, and devotion wherever he goes. Lenny is healthy, neutered, and up to date on his shots.

If you live in Canada within three hours of Toronto and think Lenny could be the one for you, please reach out to our rescue at c4ptoronto@gmail.com. We would love to tell you about and our foster to adopt program. Lenny is ready to meet his people — and to finally belong.

The Collie is a graceful and intelligent dog known for their loyalty, gentle nature, and exceptional herding abilities. They come in two coat varieties, rough and smooth, with colors ranging from sable and white to blue merle. Collies excel in obedience training and thrive on mental stimulation and physical activity. Their keen intuition and strong bond with their owners make them wonderful family pets and reliable working dogs in tasks such as herding livestock or in search and rescue missions.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.
