Houston Collie Rescue was established in response to the need to find good homes for Collies that are abandoned, lost, or mistreated, and that are in dire need of a new lease on life. We also help, in extreme emergencies, those who have to give up their dogs. We feel that the responsibility for caring for lost, neglected and abused Collies must rest with those who know and love the breed. HCR is m

ade up of individuals who have many years of experience with this breed and understand the needs of the dogs. What better reward could there be than knowing that dozens of Collies which otherwise might have been put to sleep, left out to starve or to run loose in the streets to be crippled or killed in traffic, are instead currently in loving and caring homes! All HCR Collies have received necessary medical treatment, have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for heartworms/hookworms, fleas and other parasites, and have been tagged with a Microchip recorded by name and rescue number in our files. Because of the often deplorable conditions they have come from; their intelligent, sensitive dispositions; double coats; and the Texas heat and humidity, our rescue Collies are required by adopters to be indoor dogs, except for exercise and pleasant days outside. Upon the dog's adoption, we recommend keeping our tag on the collar. To further protect your beloved new Collie we urge you to always keep your Collie indoors or behind a locked gate, in a fenced yard when exercising, and on leash when walking. For increased pleasure in your Collies company, we strongly recommend obedience training, especially in classes where you both receive the guidance of professionals and the opportunity for the dog's continuing socialization. Most Collies are outstanding obedience dogs. As a rule, Collies are loving and devoted companions, they are gentle with children and with other animals. Some Collies are quiet while others can be barkers. A Collie will bond very closely with all family members and will reward a loving owner with years of unquestioning devotion and affection.

This is an overdue post with sad news for Elizabeth and her Beaux. She spared no expense trying to heal her one and only sweet boy. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

From Elizabeth:
With a broken heart, I have to share that my rough collie Beaux suddenly had a stroke yesterday and he crossed the rainbow bridge this morning. He was surrounded by those who loved and cared for him for the last 9.5 years: the wonderful team at Terrell Vet Center. He passed with dignity in a peaceful, respectful place.
Also have to thank the amazing board and my fellow volunteers/transporters at Houston Collie Rescue, Inc. Beaux was a rescue from HCR and he actively assisted me with rescue and home visits for potential adopters. Beaux inspected every yard, closet, child (some badly behaved that he corrected on the spot with a firm nudge), and resident dogs and kitty cats. Beaux didn’t quite understand why his attempts to kiss a kitty resulted in a snoot swatting!
Beaux was a frequent “beauty pageant” contestant and, despite his high pageant rankings, it never went to his head! Always sweet & friendly, always patient and empathetic to those who were sick and/or elderly. He was my constant shadow and always tried to keep me laughing in difficult times - friends called him my “collie clown”. He fought a tough battle these past 13 months of a rare pancreatic disorder and non-cancerous bowel obstruction. He had eleven quality years for which I am so grateful.
As I’ve always said (and posted every year since I adopted him at 1.5 years old): I never knew his exact birthday in May, so the entire month was always designated as “Beaux’s birthday month”. It’s still Beaux’s birthday month. So, I choose to honor his memory as I struggle to deal with the loss. If you would like to make a donation in Beaux’s honor, it would be appreciated greatly. Every dollar counts to help other collies in need. Donate to: Houston Collie Rescue. As Beaux's vet said this morning: We need to appreciate the collie breed more. For me, Beaux’s spirit (and flowing collie hair around my house !!) lives on. FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS 🙏❤️🙏 I Love Rough Collie Dogs!

Meet Peaches!
Peaches is a beautiful 1.5-year-old sable and white female Collie. She’s spayed, fully up to date on her vaccinations, and ready to find her forever home!
Peaches is a bit shy when meeting new people, but once she warms up, she forms a deep and loyal bond with her person. She thrives on human affection and clearly prefers one-on-one attention over the company of a pack. While she can be a bit jealous of other dogs at first, with time and patience, she learns to coexist peacefully.
This sweet girl loves to play with her toys and chew on bones—but be warned, she has a soft spot for shoes and won’t hesitate to turn them into her next project! She’s fully house-trained and making great progress with crate training.
Peaches enjoys car rides but can be a flight risk—she's quick to dart out the moment a door opens. Extra care and caution are essential when traveling with her. For her safety, a fully fenced yard is required.
If you think Peaches could be the perfect addition to your family, apply today at www.houstoncollierescue.org.

UPDATE: On a sleepover

Meet Darla Belle!
Darla Belle is a stunning 6.5-year-old sable (mahogany) and white female Collie, weighing approximately 56 pounds. She’s spayed, fully vetted, house-trained, and has completed obedience training.
Darla came to us, along with her brother King, as an owner surrender. While she shares a close bond with her brother, we believe she would thrive just as well in a home on her own—so long as she has the love and attention of her humans.
This affectionate girl is full of energy and loves being near her people—she sticks to you like glue and never turns down a chance for pets. Don’t be surprised if she jumps into your lap just to soak up some extra affection! Darla is also a natural at playing fetch and enjoys interactive playtime.
Initially, she had a brief adjustment period with her foster family’s female Collie, marked by a little growling—but it quickly passed, and she now gets along wonderfully with all the dogs in the home. She has shown no signs of aggression and has a sweet, social nature.
Darla’s gorgeous fluffy coat and soulful, expressive eyes are the first things you’ll notice. She’s alert and watchful, always ready to let you know if a deer, armadillo, bicyclist, or Amazon delivery driver is nearby. Still, she’s just as content lounging on the couch or curled up in her dog bed.
According to her foster parents, once she settled in, Darla truly blossomed into one of the happiest and most affectionate Collies they've had the joy of fostering.
We believe Darla would be happy in a home with or without another dog—as long as she has plenty of love, attention, and quality time with her people.
If you think Darla Belle could be the perfect fit for your family, apply at www.houstoncollierescue.org!

Well that was fast… King has an ADOPTION PENDING❤️

Meet King!
King is a handsome tricolor male Collie, weighing in at about 57 pounds—on the smaller side for a male, but full of charm and personality. He’ll be celebrating his 8th birthday this June! King is neutered, fully vetted, house-trained, and has completed obedience training.

He came into rescue along with his sister, Darla Belle, as an owner surrender. While they do share a bond, King is an independent and well-adjusted dog who would thrive in a home with or without his sister.

King is a calm, easygoing guy who enjoys the simple things in life. He’ll happily alert the household to anything he spots outside the window but is just as content lounging on the sofa, quietly watching TV with his people. With his shiny, full coat and alert, expressive eyes, King is a real looker—and his gentle, affectionate nature makes him even more lovable.

He greets his humans with excitement, often hopping up in joy (but not on you!), showing just how happy he is to be part of the action. After a short adjustment period, King quickly got along well with the other dogs in his foster home. He enjoys being petted, loves going for walks, and generally just being near his people.

King would do beautifully in a variety of home environments—whether he’s the only dog or one of a few—as long as he’s included in the day-to-day love and companionship of family life.

If you think King could be the perfect companion for your home, apply today at www.houstoncollierescue.org!

Yes Folks HCR has a pure bred mini Aussie in the house. Meet Buster 36 lbs, 13 months. We’ve had him fully vetted and neutered. He’s been raised around dogs and is great with kids. He loves to be held and snuggled. He is your typical youngster that needs a high energy family ready to work on training and getting him through his puppy stage.

Buster must have a secure fenced yard for running, exercise and potty. Adopter should be prepared to continue his crate training when unsupervised and home alone. He is house training and still learning right from wrong.

He’s crate trained, house trained, and up-to-date on all vaccines. Chip is also neutered and weighs around 55 pounds of pure love and energy.

Welcome Poppy. 51 lb, 1.5 years. We’ve had her fully vetted and spayed.
At first, she is shy, nervous and bit overwhelmed, as expected. She was a bit grumbly when she first met the resident male dogs but that has all settled down. She attaches to her female human very quickly. She is very sweet and wants lots of petting. She walks fine on a leash, house trained, knows sit, come, wait and turn to name a few commands and just lays wonderfully for lots of brushing. We’ve seen no food aggression. She likes walks but can be afraid of cars and strange men not part of her house. She does not get on furniture but loves rugs and dog beds. She has found her voice barking at birds, squirrels and amazon deliveries. She prefers women and is wary of men but is making progress by laying at the feet of her foster dad. She does not like being crated but has been left out and so far, so good and sleeps at night in the bedroom with the other dogs. No chewing or misbehavior. She will play with a toy but prefers to run with the other dogs but then cuddles when resting.

Poppy is available for adoption.
Local adopters with indoor living and a fenced yard for exercise and going potty.
