Please read about our adoption process prior to applying for any animal with us.

Our website has information about our rescue, adoption process and link to our adoption application www.collarofhope.org

 We are a foster home based rescue and have no facility to visit.
 Prior to adoption, our animals are spay/neutered, vaccinated including rabies/age appropriate, microchipped and parasite treated/prevented as a minimum.

NOTE: PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE BIO BEFORE APPLYING OR INQUIRING >br> Our ADOPTION PROCESS - ADOPTION FEES and ADOPTION APPLICATION can be found on our Petfinder Home Page www.collarofhope.petfinder.com To meet or be considered for adoption, you must FIRST email us our completed adoption application to: collar.of.hope@live.com Our application process consistes of: 1. Submitting our Adoption Application 2. Favorable Vet Reference 3. Contact 2 Personal References 4. Safety Home Check and/or Photos 5. Meet and Greet NOTE: all memebers of the family including current dogs will be required to be at the meet. Elwood came to us with his 7 siblings (see his siblings also). They mostly resemble a mix of herding breeds - Australian Shepherds mostly but they are true heinz 57 mixes and have different looks. If you are interested in meeting our puppies, you will need to submit our completed adoption application and be approved to adopt a puppy. Please also be prepared to send in home photos as outlined on our home page as part of the home safety check that includes your main living areas, yard/fence and one photo showing your house number clearly in it. We will not hold or reserve a puppy. Once approved, the meet will be set up and what ever puppies are still with us at that time will be available for the applicant. Due to thier young age, someoone must be available to them more often than not to facilitate all that a baby requires. Anyone living in an apartment setting or any other shared lawn areas will not be considered for adoption as they will not be old enough for the 3 required puppy DHPP vaccines and therefore are not protected against parvo or distemper. We are firm with this. They have been: Spayed/Neutered, 2 DHPP (1 more needed), worm/flea/parasite treated/prevented and micro chipped. Our puppy adoption fee of $250 applies.
