About Winston
Winston is a lovely young intelligent boy who is looking for an active home. He has completed module 1 in agility training and loves his daily walks. He is extremely well behaved and travels well, although having such a profuse coat means he does not cope well with heat and so his new home will need to be in Southern Victoria.
He is great with other animals and is used to sleeping inside at night and playing outside during the day. Winston prefers human company over animal company and seems to be an old soul in a young body.
Ideally his new home will be one where he can continue with his obedience training as he enjoys it so much - collies are working dogs and do like to be kept busy - and his current grooming regime is at least a weekly one hour brush - which he loves.
If you feel that your home is the right one for Winston, please fill out an application form below.
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!
