Collies - Dogs in Shelters

A foster caretaker is a rescuer who takes a Collie into his home or places it in another temporary foster home until a permanent home is found for it. The foster owner takes the responsibility for basic training and evaluating the temperament of the Collie for adoption suitability.

If you are able to help transport dogs, your aid will be much valued. Rescuers help groom Collies for adoption and sometimes will help owners who need assistance with grooming. A rescuer also talks with prospective adopters about Collies to determine whether the breed is really suitable for them.

Collies - Health Problems

Other health problems to watch out for in Collies are bloat, epilepsy, dermatomyositis and ear infections. Buying from a responsible breeder and regular veterinary check-ups are the two ways to keep Collies in good health.
