Collie Rescue of Greater Illinois has reimagined thousands of futures by connecting collies in need with compassionate adopters, fosters, and supporters. Join us as we continue the mission.
Stay current on events, adoption spotlights, and ways to support our collies.
We partner with shelters, owners, and caring supporters to offer collies a second chance. Each dog receives individualized attention—from medical care and grooming to behavior support— before we thoughtfully match them with their forever families.
Families interested in adoption are interviewed by dedicated volunteers. We learn about your lifestyle, experience with dogs, and what you hope to find in a companion. Our team then pairs you with a collie whose personality and needs align with your home.
$375 for adult collies, $475 for puppies, and $175 for seniors eight years and older.
Transport, fostering, events, and administration are all handled by compassionate volunteers.
We support families throughout Illinois and neighboring states by building connections and providing guidance.
Our veterinary partners ensure each dog is healthy and ready for their new chapter.
After medical care, each collie spends a minimum of two weeks with a foster family. This time allows us to understand temperament, routines, and preferences so we can place every dog with a home that fits.
Your involvement—whether adopting, donating, or volunteering—makes second chances possible.
Complete our adoption questionnaire so we can begin the matching process and schedule your home visit.
