Winslow is estimated to be between 2-4 years of age, mahogany, neutered male. He weighs about 56 lbs., although we think his ideal weight would be around 60-62 lbs. He is good with other dogs, kids over the age of 10 and confident cats. He knows basic commands, has proven to be effectively trained with tasty treats and seeks attention through petting and head smooches. He would be best in a home with another dog(s) as he originally came from a multi-dog household and is in a multi-dog foster household. Winslow is not yet housetrained but can pick this up with positive reinforcement. Winslow is a high-energy collie and loves his 2x daily walks and free access to a fenced in yard. His recall was quite good from the start and will only get better with dedicated practice. Winslow is a nibbler when he is excited, anxious and in meeting new people. This behavior does not span from a place of aggression, rather, anxiety and attention seeking. Takes Trazodone for anxiety/restlessness with evening meal (100mg) and sometimes with morning meal if needed. That can be reevaluated with adoptive vet and veterinarian when he is comfortable in his new home. Winslow sleeps by the side of the fosters bed and waits for her to wake up in the morning for pets and love. Foster believes Winslow's new opportunity at life could include hiking, exploring in the woods, going for adventures with the family, etc. Foster recommends Winslow attend obedience training of some kind to build confidence and establish a trusting relationship with owner.
If you think you may be interested in him AND have already submitted an application AND had a home visit done AND vet references have been completed, please contact us at [email protected]. In fairness to those who have been already waiting for a collie to adopt, we will consider those applicants first. We have several collies in foster care, so if you have not yet submitted an application, we encourage you to do one. Our application can be found on our website at CRLNE.org.
