Treasure

 

1-year-old sable and white female

New to Rescue!

Treasure is a very sweet, gentle, Collie girl who came to MWCR with her brother Sammie. She is a few months over one year old with a petite, compact build and a lovely sable and white coat. Treasure and Sammie had been given to a vet clinic by their owner who didn't want to deal with their recurring gastric problems, and the clinic surrendered them to MWCR. Since coming to her foster home, Treasure has been consistently fed a special, prescription diet dog food and has had no tummy trouble since. Treasure is a happy, healthy girl.

When Treasure first arrived at her foster home she was quite timid, but she has warmed up quickly. Her foster home says, "Treasure has gone from a timid, cowering, weak stomached little girl to one with an attitude!" She is extremely gentle and affectionate and gets along well with the other animals at her foster home: two Collies, three cats and three kittens. She likes rawhide chews and is very good about eating her prescription food, though she prefers the forbidden "people" food and will beg piteously to get it. She tends to be a bit food aggressive with "her" food, so needs to be fed separately, and small children would need to be educated and supervised in feeding situations.

Treasure is a smart girl, but like any young dog she would benefit from obedience classes to help her learn and develop confidence. She will sit on command and can be trusted off leash unless there are other dogs around to lead her astray. She is crate trained and sleeps quietly in her crate at night (though she wouldn't object if her forever family wanted her to sleep on the bed with them)!

Treasure is eagerly awaiting a forever home with a family who will love her and help her develop into the well-mannered, confident girl she is ready to become. That family will be getting more than a Collie - they will be getting a Treasure!

Treasure is being fostered in Fergus Falls, MN.
