Who We Are
Far Point Collie Rescue is dedicated to saving as many lives as possible. We do this one precious life at a time. To accomplish this goal we strive to increase public awareness as to the importance of spaying/neutering and the need for responsible pet care.Our rescue is a foster home based rescue where the dogs live with families while they are awaiting their forever home. There is no Shelter or building that you can visit to meet our dogs. Our Foster Families work with our dogs with basic obedience, crate training, house training, walking on leash, socialization, and can answer many questions about the dogs personality, character and behavior.
Adopting a friend
Our adoption process is as follows:We require a Pre- Adoption application be filled out prior to meeting any of our dogs, We will review your application first, then check all refferences, if you are approved to adopt we can then proceed. Please understand that you may be approved to adopt but you may not be able to adopt the dog you are asking about. We match the personality of the animal to the requirements of the home. If you are looking for an animal that is laid back and easy going and you pick one that we know is extremely active we will not adopt that particular animal to you but rather show you other animals that will fit into your lifestyle and have the traits you are looking for in a companion.
We will do a Home Visit to ensure that the dog that you are interested in is appropriate for the house and yard size that you have. We want to make sure that the dog you adopt is a good fit for your family, your lifestyle, and your home. These dogs have come from uncertain backgrounds and we want to do everything we can to place these dogs into forever homes so they will never feal the stress of being homeless again.
An adoption donation is required to help cover the cost of veterinary care, which includes Neuter / Spaying, Heartworm Testing, Rabies Vaccine, DHLPP Vaccine, Bortello Vaccine, Worming, Flea Preventive, Heart Gaurd Plus Preventive, and Grooming.
You can aquire a Pre-Adoption application by clicking here.
Then you can COPY and PASTE into an email or a word document.
Health benefits of spaying and neutering
Dogs and cats do not have the emotional need to reproduce that human beings may experience. Unspayed females have a higher risk for serious disease than animals that have been spayed. Breast cancer is a serious killer of dogs. Spaying your cat or dog before the age of one makes developing breast cancer nearly impossible. The risk of ovarian cancer is completely removed through spaying. Unneutered male dogs and cats can develop unsightly behavioral problems such as spraying, lifting their legs, mounting legs, and they can be harder to train. Neutering is a safe and effective way to combat these and many other problems, not to mention ensuring the animals health.PLEASE SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PETS
Responsible Care
Did you know that you can help prevent the suffering and death of millions of animals? Almost everyone loves puppies and kittens, but some people lose interest when these animals grow up. As a result, millions of cats and dogs of all ages and breeds are euthanized annually or suffer as strays. Many of these were the result of unwanted, unplanned litters that could have been prevented by spaying or neutering. Rarely surviving for more than a few years on their own, strays die painfully by starvation, disease, freezing or being hit by cars.
GREETINGS WITH LOVE, FROM A LONELY DOG
I wish someone would tell me what It is that I've done wrong.Why do I have to stay chained up and be left alone so long?
They seemed so glad to have me when I came here as a pup.
There were so many things we'd do while I was growing up.
The master said he'd train me as a companion and friend.
The mistress said she'd never fear to be left alone again.
The children said they'd feed and brush me every day.
They'd play with me and walk me if I would only stay.
But now the master "hasn't time." The mistress says I shed.
She doesn't want me in the house, not even to be fed.
The children never walk with me, they always say, " Not now."
I wish that I could please them. Won't someone tell me how?
All I had, you see, was love. I wish they would explain.
Why they said they wanted mine, and left it alone on a chain?
