We have great volunteers and pawsome fosters too! Thanks to fosters Jessica & Carlos and to @chewy for the winter jammies! Jessica & Carlos bought two of the same item and, when they requested to return the duplicate purchase, Chewy told them to donate it (which they did to #CollierDAS).

Adopt sweet #cattledog MOLLY #A282323 💗 This very loving and sweet female #Heeler deserves better than living in a shelter kennel. #CollierDAS #shelterdogs Know The Breed: The compact but muscular Australian Cattle Dog, also called Blue or Red Heeler or Queensland Heeler, is related to Australia’s famous wild dog, the Dingo. These resilient herders are intelligent enough to routinely outsmart their owners. Standing between 17 to 20 inches at the shoulder, the Australian Cattle Dog is a sturdy, hard-muscled herder of strength and agility. The ACD is born with a white coat that turns either blue-gray or red. Both coat colors may feature distinctive mottling or speckling patterns. ACDs have immense work drive and excel at controlling and, of course, moving livestock. Their boundless energy and supple gait make them excellent running partners. ACDs are true-blue loyal, famously smart, tenacious, ever alert, and may be wary of strangers. If an ACD isn’t challenged, it easily becomes bored and may get into mischief. It is recommended that ACD owners participate with these versatile dogs in some work, sport, or regular exercise to keep them mentally and physically fit.

Big #shelterpuppy RODNEY #A282077 is a fun and eager 13-month-old and one of MANY dogs lookign for a home for the holidays. #adopt #foster #collierDAS #shelterdogs www.collierpets.com (Naples, FL)

MEME has a new name, new attitude and new home! Now furever known as SKIPPY, this little fella found his happy home today. #Adopted

Look who’s playing! SAM our lovable brindle & white boy is now a #playgroup player thanks to help from all-star player MASON. SAM has always been friendly greeting other dogs at the fence and during pack walks but for some reason when SAM has been off leash in a play yard with other dogs, he tended to shrink into a corner and keep to himself. So we’ve been introducing SAM to nice, friendly dogs who will invite play but also give SAM space as needed. After weeks of allowing SAM to engage (or not engage) at his own pace, this week, SAM finally decided to cut loose and have some real playgroup fun! #playislife #dogsplayingforlife #adopt www.collierpets.com (Naples, FL)

#PocketPittie sister #puppies IRIS and MEDUSA are little chunksters and so much fun! These happy, playful, and hilariously entertaining pups came to the shelter in terrible condition but have been healing under clinic care. They are now available for adoption. #adopt #CollierDAS #shelterdogs www.collierpets.com (Naples, FL)

Mood booster from best buds MASON and KNOX. These handsome boys are fun playgroup players and looking for good homes. #adopt www.collierpets.com (Naples, FL)

MEME #A283692 is another small dog on the adoption floor looking for a good home. This furry little guy doesn’t like the noise of the shelter and is hoping someone takes him out of here. #adopt #CollierDAS #shelterdogs www.collierpets.com (Naples, FL)

Welcome to the #PlayersClub CANELA! This #shydog is coming out of her shell and was over the moon to have a #playdate with fellow shydog and superstar playgroup player WAFFLES BOB. Both of these adorable #adoptable #shelterdogs need loving homes. #adopt www.collierpets.com (Naples, FL)

Sweet #seniordog #shelterdog BUCKLES is incredibly grateful for #fostercare 💗 This seven-year-old #hound would have been just another statistic in an overcrowded shelter where her future was bleak. But she’s safe for now and has proven to be a practically perfect home companion, incredibly loving, house broken and even asks to go out when she needs a potty break. All this good girl wants is a good home where she can be an “only fur child” and live her golden years with love. Who will save this sweet soul? #adopt

Sweeter than her name, HONEY #A269338 is still waiting for a family of her own. This volunteer favorite, #BoxerMix is approximately 6 years old and she’s a very loving and affectionate dog. HONEY walks nicely on leash, freely gives hugs and kisses, and longs for a good home as a solo dog or with a compatible big male dog. #adopt #CollierDAS #shelterdogs www.collierpets.com (Naples, FL)

It’s been many months as #SeniorDog SHAMROCK #A223780 continues to wait and hope that someone will give him a good home. Nine years old, 83 lbs, SHAMROCK deserves better than spending his golden years confined to a shelter kennel. This loving big boy is a happy companion and enjoys entertaining himself with toys. Shamrock is non-reactive seeing and walking with other dogs but prefers to have a home to himself as he does not like sharing toys or food with other dogs. Who can give this good boy the loving home he deserves? #adopt #foster #CollierDAS #shelterdogs www.collierpets.com (Naples, FL)

TOPPER #A284456 finds shelter life very scary. Today, this little 14 lb boy sat quietly in his kennel shaking whenever the big dogs started barking. Thankfully a loving foster took TOPPER home tonight so this sweetie could spend the Thanksgiving holiday in a quiet home instead of the noisy shelter. We’re hoping someone will see Topper’s video and want to give him a good home. The shelter reopens on Saturday and TOPPER will be available for adoption then. #adopt #collierDAS #shelterdog www.collierpets.com (Naples, FL)
