Adopt a Collie in Georgia

Collies — rough-coated like Lassie or smooth-coated — are gentle, intelligent, and devoted herding dogs that love family life. They appear in rescue from breed networks and occasionally shelters. A rescued Collie is a sweet, watchful, and biddable family companion.

Georgia has one of the highest rescue dog populations in the country, particularly in rural areas outside Atlanta, Savannah, and Macon. Many Atlanta-based rescues partner with rural shelters to transport dogs to higher-demand regions. A rescued Georgia dog often comes from a high-need rural shelter.
