Description:
Delaney is a beautiful, sweet, tri-color rough collie. She came from being kept with many other dogs, so everything she is experiencing in her new foster home is a new experience for her. Imagine a dog who has never heard a squeak toy, let alone know it was a dog toy. This is Delaney. Every day in her loving foster mom’s care is showing Delaney what life in a loving home means and that the world is full of joyful, not scary, things.
Delaney’s crate is her refuge when someone or something new is present. However, within days of being in her foster home, she learned all about the dog bed and the wonders of lying in it and watching tv. Delaney walks perfectly on the leash and loves to go on walks, especially trail walks. She has never been without dogs around her, so her foster mom thinks she will do best in a home with at least one other dog companion. Tail wags have begun, and paying attention to what her foster mom is doing has become a favorite activity.
This sweetie loves food so hopefully she’ll learn commands for food rewards quickly once she’s settled in and feeling more confident. Her foster mom feels a more sedate home will suit her best. She has met teens and was good with them. Delaney is waiting for her special someone to love her and bring her to her forever home.
