About Marlee
Meet Marlee!
A quiet 7 year old lass who is a bit scared of the world, having spent her life with one owner on acreage, Marlee is however fabulous with other dogs - she has spent the last 6 months living with small elderly dogs and is fantastic around them, and is also calm around cats. She is looking for a home where she is free to do her own thing - chilling with a doggie companion would be ideal - with an understanding owner who is happy to have a low energy collie that just wants to be a home body.
While Marlee is not a lap dog and would prefer to spend her time outside rather than on the couch with people, she loves a brush and a scratch and really is a dear little soul. Unusual for a collie, she is not a barker, and would suit a quiet home with not too much going on.
She has a double coat and will need regular grooming to ensure her lovely coat remains so, luckily she absolutely loves being brushed and will happily stand for hours while being spoilt.
She is as smart as a whip and would benefit from some training to keep her mind active and engaged.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
Our Rescue Collies are placed into foster care in one of our volunteers private homes. There they are assessed for temperament, health, level of training, the Collies likes and dislikes and what type of home would best suit the Collie.
If not already done, the Collie is desexed, vaccinated, wormed, heartworm tested & microchipped.
The Collie will not be put up for adoption until we (and the foster carer) feel the Collie is ready to go to a new home.
Once the collie has been put up for adoption we will then choose a number of suitable applications for the foster carer to go through and decide which applicant they think would suit the collie best. The foster carer will then arrange for the collie to meet and greet their potential new adopter at a home check and observe how the collie and the adopter interact with each other. After the meet and greet the collie goes home with the foster carer for a cooling off period so that the applicant and the foster carer can both have a serious think about whether this is the right home for this particular collie.
If it is decided that this is the right forever home then the applicant is advised to collect the dog from the foster carers, we believe this stops the dogs from feeling dumped, the paperwork is completed, and the collie goes off to its new forever home for their two week trial!
The rescue group is no longer taking adoption applications for this pet.
