Complicated Carley's Story

Complicated Carly was pretty broken when she got here many months ago. Scared of the world. She's come a very long way and it's time to find her people. Over the summer we've been able to have her be much more comfortable out and about. We were able to complete a basic household obedience class.<br/><br/>Carly has always been good around all my dogs and most others. She can play a little rough for tiny dogs. Good kitties. At first, anyone coming in the door was barked at for 10 minutes and huffed at for another 5 minutes. Now she'll bark a couple times and slowly check new people out. She walks great on a leash.<br/><br/>Carly will bond deeply with her person/family. A couple times she got out of the dog yard (under the fence, since repaired) and all she did was seek me out. But I don't know if I would trust her if she was in hot pursuit of a squirrel. There are pesky squirrels at the lake house who thoroughly enjoy taunting the dogs.<br/><br/>She loves her chew bones. She's kind to stuffed toys and doesn't destroy them. She will fetch for a minute. I think she will like water if she sees other dogs playing in it. She's very athletic. She can be really rambunctious but does settle down nicely and she's a first class A+ snuggler. Very gentle. All she needs is training and her own family. She's currently being fostered in the greater Traverse City area.

Great Lakes Border Collie Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Adoption Process & Application Please carefully read the information below before submitting an application. Adopting a Border Collie is adopting a new lifestyle for the lifetime of the dog. Great Lakes Border Collie Rescue takes seriously our responsibility to our rescued dogs. We strive to identify the home best suited to each dog's personality, temperament, and activity level. Each dog's listing is thoughtfully written, to help you get a feel for their personality. Please understand, however, the dog in whom you are interested may ultimately not be the right fit for your home. If that is the case, please be patient while we help you find just the right dog, either among those currently in our care, or those awaiting foster space. Applicants who are already approved will be considered first when new dogs enter our program. Unfortunately, there are Border Collies losing their homes every day, and your forever-friend may be the next one to come into our rescue program. Our adoption process consists of the following steps, enabling us to get to know you and your family, and to ensure every placement is a permanent one: Phone Interview: A volunteer will contact you via email to determine the best time to call. In this call, you will describe what you're looking for in your new dog, and we will more thoroughly describe our adoption policies, as well as answer any questions you have about dogs currently in our care. Veterinary Reference Check: We will contact your veterinarian to ensure your current or most recent dogs are up-to-date on their vaccinations, and have received regular HW testing. Please be sure you list all veterinarians who may have care records for your pets. Home Visit: The purpose of this visit is to verify any information you have listed on your application (e.g., fenced-in yard, crate, etc.) and to ensure we are matching you with the correct Rescue Border Collie for your home environment.We request all members to be present at the home visit. PLEASE NOTE: The adoption process CANNOT be completed until a home visit has been performed. Meeting the available Border Collie: Once your application has been approved and a potential match has been identified, you will have the opportunity to meet your potential dog. You will be expected to travel to the foster dogs' location or a meeting point in between. All members of the family (including any family dogs) should attend this initial meeting since we consider this a family decision. The adoption does not occur at this first meeting; we want you to meet the dog and think it over to be sure it's the perfect match. Execution of Adoption Contract and Payment of Adoption Fee: GLBCR requires all adopters to sign an adoption contract stipulating, among other things, the standard of care required for your dog. We also require an adoption fee of $275, payable in cash or check.
