Sylvia's Story

Fostered near Plainfield, IL<br/>Fenced yard required<br/>https://www.collierescue.org/dogs/2051<br/><br/><br/>Meet Sylvia, a 7 month-old tricolor Smooth Collie mix puppy who’s as smart as they come. She is quick to pick up new things from quickly becoming house trained, mastering sit, starting to learn wait and recall commands as well as free, and quickly figuring out new puzzle toys and slow feeders. This sweet little girl does well in her crate and can keep herself busy with a variety of toys and chews but she also loves to play with people, go for walks, get snuggles, and play with the resident dogs in her foster home. Sylvia is an energetic girl who has been learning her manners and is eager to find a home ready to continue her training to keep her learning the new things she needs to learn.<br/>Sylvia is affectionate and sweet and really enjoys following her people to see what they're doing. She enjoys all kinds of toys, Kongs, bully sticks, balls, and Nylabone chews. She is incredibly smart and figures out new games and puzzles quickly without giving up. Sylvia is an active pup who would do best in a home as an only dog or with patient but confident dogs who will continue to show Sylvia proper pup manners.<br/><br/>She would also benefit from a family who wants to be active with her as she is a dog who wants to work or be busy. She would likely do well in agility classes or other sport classes as she is a fast and intelligent gal. Sylvia plays hard but she’s a pro in her crate and sleeps peacefully through the night. She rides well in the car on short or longer trips.<br/><br/>She enjoys other dogs but can still get a bit overstimulated when playing with them. She has been learning "gentle" when playing with other dogs and also learning "all done" to end the play session. Continued guidance will help her learn good doggy manners. Sylvia is still a typical puppy: she may bark at new sights and sounds but is highly motivated by food and will work through the new or fearful experience with patience and time with the exposure while receiving treats. A securely fenced yard or dog run and a family committed to training, structure, and exercise will help this clever smoothie mix truly blossom.

Collie Rescue of Greater IL Inc.'s Adoption Policy
We require anyone interested in adopting a collie to fill out this adoption application. We perform home visits with all adoptions. This makes it difficult for us to adopt dogs outside the Illinois area. Adoption fees are $375 for adult dogs, $475 for puppies under one year, and $175 for dogs eight years and older. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. Collie Rescue Of Greater Illinois (CRGI) is a local organization that mainly serves the northern portion of Illinois in the rescue and placement of both rough and smooth coated Collies. A small staff of unpaid volunteers supports CRGI in its mission. Because of the absolute need for a home visit for all potential Collie adopters and limited resources to execute this task the placement of Collies outside of our service area is handled on a case by case basis.

Sylvia is from Collie Rescue of Greater IL Inc.
