At this time and being the only active collie rescue in the state of TN, we are partnering with Tri State Collie Rescue to help any collies in need due to demand and any collies/dogs featured on Collie Rescue of Chapel Hill, TN Petfinder webpages are being fostered locally.
Established in 1999 (and formerly known as Collie Rescue of Thompsons Station, TN), Collie Rescue of Chapel Hill, TN primarily rescues unwanted, neglected, abused or abandoned collies (and shelties as needed).
Every dog adopted out by CRCHTN must be intended for a housedog. Collies long to be with their companion owner/s/family. They tend to get bored very quickly when cast outside to stay. We require a fenced yard. We do, on occasion, make an exception to this rule, depending on the situation, and the dog. Exceptions are at the sole discretion of CRCHTN and primarily IF the dog is a known fence climber. We do not consider electronic fence an acceptable fence. Collies necks have to be shaved in order for a shock collar to penetrate their heavy coats and if t-storm scared, they will often run through it deliberately to run away, join (or chase) another dog, a cat or a kid on a bike, and then they can't get back in. In fact, an electronic fence gives an entirely unwarranted sense of security and cannot keep predators from entering the yard. An adoption application will be sent upon receipt of interest in learning about a particular rescue......fenced yard, vet reference and home visits are required. We will then schedule a phone interview upon receipt of the application. Adoption fee does apply to defray discounted vet costs and vary upon age....seniors are discounted to the right home. Our adoption fees helps to carry us from one dog to the next as not all rescues come in healthy, nor young. All rescues are fully vetted (treated for heartworms where applicable), placed on heartworm prevention and flea and tick control and microchipped. This fee also helps us to care for the seniors/the ones who typically never leave. *SORRY - we do not ship/transport dogs*
We are located about 1 hr./15 min. southeast of Nashville, TN.......visitors are welcomed once adoption application is approved.
