Adoptables
The first step in the adoption process is to download, print, and fill out our adoption application.
Not all our available collies are posted on online. If you are interested in adopting we recommend that you send in your application so when a collie becomes available that is a potential match, your application process is already complete. If we don’t have a collie that matches a qualified adopter’s lifestyle, we can keep your application on file for future consideration.
Putting the Pieces Back Together:
Willow's Story
Willow’s journey with CRLNE&NY began with heartbreak—but it’s quickly becoming one of hope.
After an unfortunate run-in with an automobile left her left rear leg shattered, our focus was clear: do everything possible to save it. Thanks to quick action, a devoted foster, and a skilled veterinary orthopedist willing to take on a complex repair, Willow was given the chance she deserved.
Already, Willow is putting weight on her leg and making encouraging progress. By the time you’re reading this, her surgical staples will be coming out—a big milestone for a very brave girl. This is just the beginning of Willow’s story, and we look forward to sharing more updates as she continues healing, one step at a time.
Notes from the Foster
I’m fostering a three-year-old rough coat collie named Willow, and she is pure resilience wrapped in fluff. Before coming to me, Willow was hit by a car and went through a failed surgery on her left backleg. Since arriving on January 2, she’s already had another surgery — and she is doing amazingly well. Despite everything she’s been through, Willow remains incredibly gentle, patient, and trusting, even during her complex dressing changes (which she handles like the bravest little lady). With classic collie intelligence shining through soulful eyes, she’s learning routines, soaking up affection, and quietly reminding everyone around her how powerful kindness can be. Watching Willow heal — both physically and emotionally — has been an absolute gift, and proof that sometimes the softest souls are also the strongest.

Hello Handsome
Checkers
This dashing neutered boy is ready for adoption. Meet Checkers. Small issue - he doesn’t seem to know he is a senior and is still energetic. He will be 10 in mid April. He can be timid but happy and playful when comfortable. Always greets his foster wagging his tail. He is fearful of strangers. He chooses to stay in his crate when in the house although he is free to roam other parts of the house. He is great with other dogs, cats, chickens, etc. He is fearful of yelling or loud noises. He suffers from trauma of some sort. His foster mom said he will need a patient adopter to help make him feel safe. Do you think you could give this handsome guy a home where he can flourish?
