Details about "PROCEDURES" responses:
We take in purebred Collies from shelters, impounds, owners and other rescues. They are then fully vetted, spayed or neutered, groomed, and placed in foster homes familiar with the Collie temprament. The Collies stay in foster homes until they are healthy and ready for a new family. Our adopters must fill out an application, agree to a home check, and provide both vet and personal references. We complete an adoption contract before we place the Collies. We require the Collie to be returned to MWCR if necessary for the life of the collie. We also have an e-mail list for our clients that provides support.
