Friday Find



Today's Friday find is a lovely Collie named Princess. Princess is a muy bonita Spanish speaking Collie that is re-learning her commands in English. She was loved very much but her family could no longer meet her needs. She is currently being fostered with Greater Collie Rescue of IL, Inc.

Collies are a herding dog that originated in Scotland and was used for droving cattle and sheep. Their popularity is due in part thanks to the tv show "Lassie." Lassie was the epitome of the Collie breed being a devoted family dog, gentle with children and other animals, intelligent, biddable, and, of course, charming.
***Please note that Collies can have an Ivermectin sensitivity. Ivermectin is an ingredient found in some heartworm medications, so check the label and choose your meds wisely!
