STANLEY (previously known as Sam) came into Rescue through no fault of his own, as his previous owner was diagnosed with terminal cancer and felt it only fair to re-home him through Rescue before he became too ill to control where he was placed after his death. He was originally placed in a temporary foster home while a long-term home could be found for him, but, as so often happens the couple who took him could not part with him … yes, they became “failed fosterers” and have kept him on a long-term fostering basis. Stanley was 10 years old when he came into rescue, a lovely gentleman with a sweet temperament who got on very well with another elderly Collie, Jazz.
One year on and Stanley is still going strong. In September, 2016 he did a three mile sponsored walk with his dad to raise funds for Collie Rescue and thoroughly enjoyed himself … he appeared fitter than his dad the next day too !!
Although a little overweight he enjoys his daily walks, but not so much if it is raining as he is made to wear a “doggy coat” which he is not impressed with, but loves the sunshine and spends most of his day, laying in the garden watching the world go by. He also spends time at the family caravan and enjoys the feel of sand between his paws, but not so impressed with the sea !!
He is shortly due to have a dental as his teeth could be a lot better and while under anaesthetic get him neuted to save any problems later with possible testicular cancer. All in all Stanley is a joy to own … he is very much loved xx
