News and Events

Collie Connections

Collie Connections are informal get-togethers of Collie fanciers of all kinds! You’ll find rescue Collies, and show Collies and cute little Collie mixes. Collie Connections are generally held at local off-leash dog parks where your Collies can all mingle safely while romping and chasing and having a Collie of an afternoon!

If you would like to have a Collie Connection in your area, please let us know. Collie Connections are not a “rescue event” but we are more than happy to help promote a Connection in your area. We will post on our website, send out emails to all the Collie people we know in your area and invite them to the connection.

Email rescue@collierescuenetwork.com if you would like to have a Collie Connection in your area.
