I foster collies for MWCR (Minnesota Wisconsin Collie Rescue). This blog is about the dogs I foster, with other 'tails' thrown in when I don't have a foster. You can find our available collies at www.MWCR.org

Overnight foster
I have Andy here overnight. He's on his way to southwestern Minnesota where he will be fostered by, I'm told, someone who will probably adopt him.
He is a collie mix, discovered at a Milwaukee shelter where he was soon to be put down to make room for "4th of July' strays.
He was very matted, and when those mats were cut away, maggots were found in a wound in his neck. Not sure the wound was caused by the maggots, but that is already clearing up.
He's definitely had some training. He listens well, knows sit, down and no/hey.
I took him for a walk right away, then kept him on the leash inside for about a half hour, then let him explore the house. Eventually he laid down and slept. It's been a long day.
He's very friendly. Hard to capture with my cell phone, but that's the only camera I have right now.
