Shepherd and Collie Dogs Available for Adoption

Layla deserved a second chance and through our rescue community she has received it

Layla's rescue story is one of resilience. She was found roaming the streets of Houston as a stray, thrown away like trash, for a very long time. So many people tried to step up and attempted to help her, but she was just too scared of humans to catch. Somehow an object (a traffic cone)got stuck around her head while she was on the streets and it became embedded into her neck... at this point time was of the essence to save her life. Thankfully, she was safely tranquilized by animal control, making it as low stress of a situation for Layla as possible, and brought to the ER where she got the medical care she very desperately needed.

Layla has now been in foster for almost two years since being rescued. She's been receiving so much wonderful love and care in her foster home. We actually wanted to take her into our program last year, but she really needed some more time to settle in and learn how to live in a home and be someone's pet and though she's absolutely adored by her foster family, it's time for the next step in her journey opening up their home to help another dog that needs them. So Layla is now scheduled to travel to Massachusetts next month!!

This girl is beautiful and she's so sweet. She deserves the best home and we would like for her to get just that!

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 shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
