It is our gift to see beyond the dirt, terror, sadness and defeat to find the true soul that lies within.
We are Houston Collie Rescue!

Since our inception in 2000, Houston Collie Rescue has been able to rescue hundreds of Collies in Houston and the surrounding areas. We have been able to do this only with the efforts of our foster families, friends, volunteers and supporters. We would like to extend a heart-felt thank you for all of the help and donations we have received during our history. We couldn’t have done this without all of you! We are a non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity organization serving the Greater Houston, Central and Southeast Texas areas.

The Houston Collie Rescue Foster Program

kids with a Collie dogHouston Collie Rescue is always in need of foster homes especially foster homes and/or adopters who do not have any other dogs in their homes. Some Collies are so hungry for human attention and affection that they do not like to share their humans with other dogs. These Collies are beautiful, sweet, and well behaved with people. Since most of our foster homes are collie lovers, single dog homes are in short supply.

Houston Collie Rescue provides the continuous Vetting for our fosters as well as monthly heartworm preventative. We can even help subsidize the cost of food if needed.

Our Past Losses

Our sorrow is eclipsed by the joy you brought us during the time we shared. You will be missed and never forgotten. More recent Memorials can be found on our Facebook page.

Collie Health

Heartworms is a devastating disease – but prevention is easy! Unfortunately some of our Collies come to us already infected with heartworms.

We offer some useful information and guides on heartworms and on aftercare. Read more about heartworms in our Collie Health section.

Learn. Know. Prevent.
