Meet Rusty, our goofy, playful, long tongued boy. Frisbee or agility anyone??? Obedience Trained , House trained and Crate Trained Rusty is a playful, energetic pooch who is 7 years old and about 60 lb.! We think he looks like a blacki mouth cur,, possibly with some rhodesian ridgeback, but who knows for sure. He's got a long tongue that was just made for giving lots of doggie kisses . He also absolutely loves to lounge in a doggie pool filled with ice or ride with you in your truck or jeep. In the winter he loves romping in the snow. .Rusty is a smart boy. He picks his leash up with his mouth and sits at the door waiting to go outside! Just check out the video in his profile. Although he loves kids, he wouldn't be a good fit for young children, as he might accidentally knock them down in his enthusiasm. Rusty loves both kids and adults but is protective of his home. He even snagged a robber in his previous home! What a good boy doing his job. When strangers come, he needs a place where he can go, away from the activity. He is SO sweet, smart, and funny. He deserves a great life and is looking for his forever home. Could you be the one? Apply at www.caninecollective.org.

He adores people and is an impressive social butterfly. Danny's weakness is pup-cups. Starbucks runs are a must! Danny is professionally obedience trained via our North Central Obedience program!

Introducing Mo, a big boy who will make you believe in 2nd chances. Poor Mo was abandoned and waiting on the return of his owner. He eventually made his way to Canine Collective and needed time to decompress from his ordeal. Mo is a great dog who just needed some time. Our big boy is really just a super sweet big baby! Mo weighs 75 lbs and about 5 years old. We think he looks like a Boxer/American Bulldog mix but of course a DNA test would clarify Mos heritage. He is greatly hearing impaired but does very well with hand signals. Mo is pretty smart and does very well with hand signals. Mo loves the outdoors but does not like the summer heat. He is not a water dog but air conditioning will perk him back up! He recently went for a special outing and did great. Hes wonderful in the car, very calm and just likes to sit in the back and look out the window. Hes great on leash, hardly any pulling, and will walk right next to your side. He likes to look back and make sure youre there. Our boy loves treats (especially bacon) and attention and gives sweet kisses. Mo is very good with other dogs, and is housetrained. Neutered and fully vaccinated. Mo is ready to be part of a family that will never leave him again.

Are you interested in an adult dog that is obedience trained, crate trained, house trained and loves to ride in the car? Meet Bellomy, a proud graduate of our North Central Correctional Institute obedience program. Bellomy is 6 years old and weighs about 48 lbs. He is a beautiful brindle color. His DNA results show Beagle, some bully, super mutt, and Collie! Plus a couple of small breeds like Min Pin and Pekinese to keep him a nice manageable size! Wow what a mix. Bellomy loves attention from people. He gets along well with other dogs. but a meet and greet is always recommended if you have another dog in your household. Our boy listens well to people he knows and is a very food/treat motivated. He is very smart and knows sit down, stay, come, heal, finish, roll over, play dead, crawl, sit pretty, and shake. When he first meets people, he will be extremely excited, especially if you have food or treats. Once he gets to know you, he will calm down and listens well. He also enjoys walks around the neighborhood and playing a game of tug-o-war. Bellomy has good manners. He doesnt chew the furniture or clothes. He is very unlikely to jump on you. He only barks when hes excited about food and when you feed him, you can tell him sit/down and he will wait until you release him to eat. He is not a fan of bathes, but does good with baths and getting his nails clipped. Bellomy likes to play fetch and tug of war. He isnt extremely high energy and usually a 10 to 15 minute play session is good for him. Most of the time he really just wants to be cuddled up next to somebody. Bellomy gets nervous around the high energy of kids, so an adult only household would be perfect. This sweet guy is looking for someone to love. He loves to be with his people.
