Utah Collie Rescue, Inc.

Collies are pretty amazing in that they can range so widly in energy level. Our collies are a great example of this. Lucy, who is our pack Marm, is fairly low in energy. She likes to stay home and chew bones and lay on the couch. She does like short walks [...]

Well I got a new bed a couple of days ago. New mattress, new frame, and I just love it! And I actually dug the feather bed (down comforter) out of storage and put it on, too. I usually don’t use it because I’m afraid of it getting chewed up.
Anyway, the dogs thought that was [...]

Due to some personal circumstances, unexpected, that have come up in the last month we are going to have to severely limit the collies we are able to foster in our own home. Fortunately for us here in Utah, there are not very many locally that end up in rescue. Hopefully we can rely on [...]

Well Tony is finally in for his teeth cleaning today. With only 5 dogs here it is quiet, in a good way. Tatum is starting to fit in with our regular 4 quite nicely and is playing and having a good time with Chase.
Tony’s liver is fine and temperature is gone. I hope his [...]

Well, Bianca is on her way to her new home in Fruitland, Idaho. *sigh* We miss her already. She brought such a wonderful brilliance to our home. She just had this sweet, loving internal glow that we will miss. And yet, we are richer for having had her in our lives for only [...]

Well, doesn’t look like I can jinx it now, but I still do worry. Bianca is set to go to her new home tomorrow morning. The weather should be good for the drive. I seriously am going to miss this girl. I’ll have to go to an agility trial up in Boise [...]

I am not superstitious… well.. I’m not… I think.. really, but sometimes maybe I have some superstitious tendencies. ugh.
Anyway I don’t like to go on and on about a dog getting a new home because I really am afraid I will jinx it. I think if I’m silent, for the most part, then it [...]

Just was looking through old pictures of all the rescue dogs we have had through our house. And I had to write that these dogs, every single last one of them, are not ‘Just a Foster Dog’.
Instead, they became, for much too short a time, a part of our lives and our home and our [...]

It’s a sleepy day here at the collie house in Utah. Since I sprained my ankle last week, I need to take it easy. Still while washing clothes from my trip, cleaning the kitchen, and unpacking the car. Ugh! Well, those things may have to wait.
The collies are all snoozing today. Angel, our keeper [...]

Last Night I put a new mattress in the bedroom.. and I won’t go into why.. basically the old king is just old and smelly and junk, so it needs to go. So I put a single mattress in there, laid it on the floor, made it up for me to sleep on and [...]
