Description:
Kelly is a beautiful, playful 8-year-old collie. She is definitely a “people” girl who loves affection and hugs. She was the only dog in her previous home, and she would prefer to be in an only-dog household. She has learned to get along with her submissive collie foster sibling, but it did require training and supervision. She has, however, done well with the household cats.
Kelly is attentive to all that is going on around her and happily watches from her bed. If you want a dog that prefers dog beds to people furniture, this is your girl. She is very smart and understands sit, stay and shake. She prefers to play with toys with someone rather than playing by herself. If you press a squeaky toy she will take a turn making it squeak right back at you.
Kelly has a few quirks like we all do. She was born with a slight neurological issue which makes her spin. When she is excited she spins, but she can stop in a couple of minutes and then is fine and follows directions well. She gets overly excited by cars driving by (barks and spins), so a quiet neighborhood or a home with windows that she cannot see out of will keep her secure, more calm and happy. If she does see cars, she can be distracted by giving her some attention. Kelly thrives on routine, consistency and repetition and with them can quickly learn the rules and wishes of the humans in her world. She needs a patient, loving person that will work with her in a kind way. She’s very affectionate and sweet, and she will be your loyal friend.
