A Winter Miracle for Emmett

Meet Emmett, a 9-year-old Collie grandpa who’s ready to find his forever family this winter! After enduring years of neglect and hardship, Emmett has flourished in foster care and now dreams of spending his golden years with a loving home. Why Emmett is Truly Special: Gentle Soul: Emmett is amazing with kids, including those with disabilities, and has a sweet, patient nature. Dog Friendly: He gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes but isn’t suited for dog parks or highly social settings with unknown dogs due to his age. Outdoor Enthusiast: Emmett loves lounging in the sun and watching the world go by. He needs a small, private fenced yard or courtyard to enjoy fresh air safely. What Makes Emmett Unique: Not Crate-Trained: Due to his age and joint health, Emmett would not do well in a home that requires crating. He thrives in environments where he can move freely. Dietary Needs: Emmett eats Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach Salmon formula paired with The Honest Kitchen Limited Ingredient Fish Recipe as a wet food. His meals are supplemented with raw eggs and occasional fresh fish, rabbit, or venison. Emmett requires his kibble to be mixed with wet food, as he won’t eat it dry. Allergies: Emmett is allergic to chicken and beef by-products and uses a hypoallergenic shampoo to maintain his skin health. Neutering Requirement: Emmett remains intact due to his age and the risks of complications associated with surgery. While this doesn’t affect his sweet temperament, all other animals in the household must be spayed or neutered. We cannot make exceptions for females with medical concerns who are not spayed. Emmett has lived peacefully with another intact male dog in the past, though there was some mild jealousy. Emmett’s Ideal Home: A quiet, stable environment with minimal stairs and someone who can let him out regularly. While he’s fine if his family works during the day, a detailed plan for his care during longer absences is required. A private, fenced yard where he can safely relax and enjoy the outdoors. A family prepared to meet the unique responsibilities of caring for a senior dog, including his specific dietary needs and supplements. Why Emmett Deserves His Winter Miracle: After living in terrible conditions—covered in fleas and ticks and never knowing love—Emmett now carries the marks of his past, including alopecia and some bumps and lumps. But his spirit is unbroken, and his heart is pure gold. He’s gentle, loving, and ready to share the best years of his life with a family who sees his inner beauty. We’re open to adopters willing to travel to Virginia Beach or meet within a 2-hour radius. If you’re ready to make this winter season unforgettable for Emmett, please apply today and help us share his story far and wide! Let’s give Emmett the home he’s waited his entire life for.

This sweet boy deserves to live out his golden years with someone who will cherish him. He has endured more that any dog ever should. I still cringe when I think of his intake pictures. He suffered years of cruelty and neglect. Read his full story and please share with anyone you know that might wish to take him in. Emmett needs someone with a loving heart that will love him as he is. Emmett bears the scars of his abuse but somehow he he still has it in his heart forgive and trust humans. He is being fostered at:  www.coastalsheltierescue.org

ABOUT US

ColliesWithoutBorders was founded by Flora Scheck, a collie owner, who was touched by the devastation in Ukraine and, through Facebook friendships, realized how many collies and owners were impacted. Finding themselves unable to buy food for their beloved collies and other family animals was one more horrible by- product of the war. The war in Ukraine gave us a purpose, Collies and their families united, joined paws and hands, and worked out a plan to give and help, proudly taking a stand to make sure no collie will be left behind. Collies became for us a beacon of gentle hope, beauty, and peace, teaching us what courage, tenacity, and faith are in the face of such inhumanity and cruelty. We found a common cause and together we became an overnight force.

Our Journey Through Pictures

Ukraine Collie Ear Protection

“Helena, a very smart girl, has learned the sounds of the siren and knows what to do! She runs to her closet for a vest and asks to put it on, and then she needs to be given calming candies!

Look at her smile, she is brave now, thanks to her collie family!!!”

-Iryna

Calming Chews

Dogs were suffering with anxiety from the bombing. If you have ever owned a dog that feared thunder storms and fireworks you will understand. Thunder storms and fireworks end. The bombing is relentless at times. Some of our familie's collies died from heart attacks. When we became aware of this we raised funds to send calming treats and anti-anxiety vests to collies in Ukraine. They are getting to the collies in need!
