Amelia is a senior smooth coated Collie, referred to as a smoothie.  Her whole world has been turned upside down due to the death of her beloved dad.  She is in a foster home with lovely humans while we reach out to find her the right family match where she will live for the rest of her lifetime.  

Amelia is a spayed female, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.  She is housebroken and has some obedience training as well.  She has favorite dog beds in each room and will settle happily near you as you go throughout your day.  At bedtime, she once again settles on a dog bed near you and snoozes until morning.  Amelia is what we call "an easy keeper" because there is nothing demanding about her personality.  She will need to know that you love her and value your friendship with her.  And she will return that love with her whole being.

We will begin accepting adoption applications on 10/28 and will get back to folks who are a possibility for Amelia.  Unfortunately, often a flood of applications will preclude us from calling each potential adopter.  There are not enough hours in the day for our volunteers.  But if we believe that your family will make Amelia's life wonderful, you will hear from us.

Thank you for reading about Miss Amelia and considering her to completed your family.

Please begin the process for adoption by reading our Adoption Policies and, if we sound like the right group for you, fill out our online Adoption Application. From there, our receipt of your completed application will be confirmed by email. You then will receive a follow-up phone call if we feel you are a good potential applicant for the dog. Lots of good conversation with the foster family, a reference from your veterinarian, and a home visit round out the screening process. We take dog adoption very seriously.  Please put a lot of thought into why you want to adopt a dog, and help us make a good match for your family. We appreciate your taking the time to visit with us. We will look forward to hearing from you as well.
