Collie Cross
Maggie - 8 year old female Collie cross
Hello everyone, my name is Maggie and I am a very nervous 8 year old Collie cross. When you first meet me I will probably very shy and cautious, but once I get to know you I will show you how cute and cuddly I am. I recently went into a foster home and was extremely well behaved.
I am house-trained and can be left for a reasonable amount of time in the house. I have a huge playful streak in me, I do like some toys and will try to entice other dogs to play with me, although I prefer males. I love long or short walks and do appreciate your company whilst outside. I am a very quiet dog and would prefer a house where it is calm and peaceful.
I love to give kisses and will make a very loyal and obedient new best friend. I have not had an easy life but look forward to sharing many years with some one to love me and treat me right. Please give me a chance, I wont let you down. All my love and licks, Maggie x

Nina is an absolutely gorgeous 8-10 month old Collie cross Lurcher with a very gentle and sweet nature. She comes across timid at first but loves to say hello to everyone. Nina is very good with children. She walks very well on the lead and learns quickly, she knows sit and leave, and loves to play ball and run around.
Nina loves lots of cuddles and is still a baby, so she will need some basic training. She is house-trained and clean at night. Nina is good with other dogs but can not go to a home with cats or other small furry animals and she would prefer to be the only dog in the household. She likes company and would like someone with her for most of the day.

Meet Jake (white chest) and Benji are adorable 5 year old black Labrador cross Collie brothers who need to be rehomed as a pair. They are wonderful dogs in many ways: safe and responsive off lead, great with other dogs, happy to live with cats, adore children, are intelligent and well trained.
Because they have each other for company, they can be left for short periods. However, they do love human contact too and look forward to a game or a cuddle. If you are looking for true “family” dogs, we doubt you would find better than these!

Blackey is a fluffy bundle of fun, he is a 9 month old Collie cross. His owners took him to the greater Manchester animal hospital for treatment for an upset tummy and never returned to collect him. In the picture he has just been castrated hence the buster collar which he hates!
He has been given the all clear from the vets and is now ready for rehoming. He has an undershot jaw which means his bottom jaw is slightly shorter than his top jaw, this shouldn’t cause him any problems in the future although it would be a good idea just to keep a regular check on his teeth and eating habits. Can you offer Blackey a fun filled new live?

Casey is a young Collie cross male, I don’t know why everyone seems to think Casey is a girls name I remember watching a programme with Casey Jones as the main character years ago (think he drove a train if I remember rightly). Our Casey is an active dog that will need an active life to keep him from getting bored and then destructive.
Please remember that Collies are working dogs and not suited to a couch potato lifestyle!! A wonderful dog that will make a really fun companion.

The beautiful Chief, he is 9 months old medium sized cross breed and pretty much fully grown, we feel he is a Collie/German Shepherd cross Whippet. He is the other half of Missy (also featured on DogsBlog.com), the pair brought into our pound recently and under order of euthanasia. They had been handed in accused of sheep worrying which considering both were scared of their own shadow we find hard to believe.
On landing in our care it was easy to see that neither of these babies at such a young age had ever known a second of kindness. Both had never been shown how to walk on a leash and the minute you so much as looked at them they would drop to the floor urinating in fear. When you tried to walk them out they would crawl on their bellies under cars and just shake with fear at a human touch.
We left them together in kennels for a couple of months whilst their condition and weight built alongside their confidence. They have been taught not to fear but are still wary of men, and now both instead of acting feral on leash walk beautifully and enjoy their walks.
Chief is now in foster with four other dogs 2 male and 2 female and gets on well with them. He has been spotlessly clean and slept downstairs uncrated without any chewing or problems. He is still wary of the male in the house but is quickly learning to trust and strike up a bond.
Chief adores toys and will happily empty the toy box and play with himself or join in with the other dogs games. We feel to continue with confidence Chief would be best suited to a home with another young dog in there already he would totally love to be with a young playful female.
As with all young dogs Chief would need someone around all or most of the time to allow him to continue through his training. He would also benefit from classes to help his confidence building. Chief would make a fabulous agility dog for someone looking for a clever, willing to learn little dog who is fast on the move. Chief is deflead, dewormed, vaccinated, KC vaccinated, micro-chipped and neutered.

Missy is a 9 month old medium sized cross breed at only 22 inches and pretty much fully grown, we feel she is a Collie/German Shepherd cross Whippet is the other half of Chief (also featured on DogsBlog.com), the pair brought into our pound recently and under order of euthanasia. They had been handed in accused of sheep worrying which considering both were scared of their own shadow we find hard to believe.

We left them together in kennels for a couple of months whilst their condition and weight built alongside their confidence. They have been taught not to fear but are still wary of men, and now both instead of acting feral on leash walk beautifully and enjoy their walks.
Missy is now in foster with 7 other dogs and gets on well with them. If anything Missy is guilty of trying a little to hard with the others and they are confused about having a teeny tiny sumbissive dog that rolls on their back licking at their faces over compensating by being too nice.
Missy has also been spotlessly clean but is a little more clingy at the moment than Chief and has formed a fierce bond with myself. So much so that I have spent the last two days ill in bed and Missy has been my constant companion. She has been fine if taken downstairs but has worried not for her but for me. She has spent each night also at the bottom of the bed keeping watch over me. She would though be fine left for short periods of time in the company of other dogs.
Missy is desperate to play with the other dogs and they will happily oblige for short periods although she is equally happy collecting toys and playing with balls which seem to be fast becoming her favourite thing in the world after me!
We feel to continue with confidence Missy would be best suited to a home with another young dog in there already she would totally love to be with a young playful male. As with all young dogs Missy would need someone around all or most of the time to allow her to continue through her training. She would also benefit from classes to help her confidence building.
Missy would make a fabulous agility dog for someone looking for a clever, willing to learn little dog who is fast on the move. Missy is deflead, dewormed, vaccinated, KC vaccinated, micro-chipped and neutered. She is going to be someones life, she is so loyal.

Hi my name is Charlie, I am a 2 year old male Collie cross. I have been in the care of the RSPCA Manchester and Salford branch since just before Christmas a lovely lady rescued me from a disused warehouse yard, my previous owner had thrown me over the fence and just left me there! I am a favourite with the kennel staff I love my walks and cuddles.
Can you offer me a new forever home?
17Apr2008 | RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch | READ MOREBobby - 6-7 month old male Smooth Collie cross German Shepherd
Bobby is a 6-7 month old male Smooth Collie cross German Shepherd who was brought to Battersea as a stray, he is only a youngster but already fairly tall so will need a large home and garden to accomadate him. (Will probably be normal German Shepherd size when fully grown).
Bobby has a fantastic nature and will make you laugh everyday with his clown like antics, a sense of humour is needed and most definately not for the house proud owner! Ideally Bobby is looking for experienced owners who have owned large boisterous dogs before or similar breeds to understand his needs.
Bobby is a bit of a charmer and thinks his cute looks will get him anything he wants, new owners will need patience and a consistent approach to his training. Has been tested with cats and unfortunately cannot live with cats, he will chase and is too much! Bobby loves other dogs but can be boisterous and rough in his play at times, he can also get frustrated when on lead.
He would benefit from having a circle of doggy pals that he can go out with regularly to burn off some of his energy, Bobby could possibly live with an active older adult female that can cope with him. Due to his boisterous nature Bobby cannot live with young children as he is liable to knock people over if they are small or frail, confident teenagers would be considered that can help with the training needed.
Bobby is only a puppy and gets bored easily, he will also bond quickly to his owners so cannot be left alone for long periods. Bobby is now learning to walk well on a lead using a head-collar, he is well behaved on this and easier to control so we advise new owners continue with the use of this. Once fully grown Bobby would excell in doggy sports like flyball, agility or similar activities as he is so lively and enjoys running around.
Bobby is a great youngster with so much potential, if you feel you can offer him a home please contact the rehoming team at Brands Hatch on 01474 875106.
