Tony (Neutered) - Collie Dog for Adoption in Marietta, Ohio

This good-looking male Collie (Tony) was brought to the HSOV on June 13, 2026 by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff after Tony was found on Milltown Road in the Newport Ohio area. Tony was accompanied by his companion Andrew (an older male brindle Labrador Retriever/Boxer mix). These boys had been making themselves at home and staying close to a kind individual's home for several days. That Good Samaritan posted their pictures on Facebook and tried in vain to locate their family.

Tony is estimated to be 3-years old. He has a beautiful brown-and-white longhaired coat, a long fluffy tail, and a classic Collie face with dark brown eyes, a long slender muzzle, and short floppy ears.

Tony has a sweet easygoing personality. He had very sore paws and was limping on one foot when he arrived at the Good Samaritan's home, so he has been given extra care by our HSOV kennel techs.

Tony weighs approximately 60 lbs and walks gently on a leash. Tony has already been neutered.

These photos were taken late in the afternoon/early evening on June 16th when HSOV Volunteer Robert accompanied Tony for outdoor photos. This boy has a sweet disposition and loved attention from Robert. Our photographer kept thinking of the famous Collie "Lassie" during Tony's photo session since he posed beautifully just like Lassie's publicity photos.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Tony was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family would have the opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Surprisingly, neither he nor Andrew were reclaimed.

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.
