Utah Collie Rescue, Inc.

Well we have five very clean collies in the house today, and one very clean border collie. They all got baths. They all hated it. But they all did really well. I don’t think I’ve ever met a dog that actually likes getting baths.
They all smell so nice now. I love putting my nose […]

Well, Christmas has come and gone. Things are going well. Tony and the other dogs got to go to the dog park yesterday. They had a great time. Tony loves the dog park! He’s so good, he sticks around, checks back, and doesn’t bark at all. He gets along great with […]

We here at Utah Collie Rescue just want to wish everyone, human, collie and other, a very Merry Christmas. We hope Santa brings the dogs get lots of bones and pig ears, and fun suffy toys to pull the stuffing out of. And we hope Santa brings the humans lots of chocolate and techie […]

And after you enjoy wearing the new gold chain you got for Christmas, and if you do get a dog next year, after the excitement and energy of Christmas has calmed down a little, we do, of course, ask that you will rescue instead of buying a puppy.
Rescue dogs come in all sorts, shapes, sizes […]

Well it’s two days until Christmas. Do you have all your Christmas shopping done, gotten that stereo cabinet for your loved one who is into music? Finished up all the wrapping?
Are you planning on getting, or have you gotten, a dog or cat as a Christmas present? Well, we advise against giving […]

Ahh Tony is such a sweet boy. I was able to snap a couple of pictures of him sitting by the Christmas tree. The tree is pretty bare, since it’s dog safe this year, but it’s the Christmas spirit.
Tony so loves his toys. I need to get a picture of him with a toy. […]

And, our house is full of dog beds. I bought […]

The collies were all up and playing this morning. Fortunately they were mostly outside. It’s cold out, was 22 degrees when I looked at the temperature this morning. That is cold. It could be colder though, and has been here in Utah. Fortunately we stay warm in our house, and we keep warm […]

Well we were able to, briefly, help out a Springer Spaniel today. There was a mixup with her foster home and so she came to stay with us for a couple of hours. What a complete doll. So very cute. I do love springers! She was afraid, though, and when she went in her crate.. […]

Tony is our only rescue dog left from Houston. He is doing so amazingly well. When he first came to stay with us he was very attention starved. And he was nervous, too, he would mount the dog beds in order to comfort himself.
I am happy to say that he hasn’t done that in about […]
