**Collins is with a loving foster in Flemington, NJ.   Please do not call but apply at www.SoCoRescue.com.

When Collins was found as a stray in December 2021, we didn't think that he would survive. His physical appearance was horrifying as he was so frail and malnourished that we wondered how he was even still alive. But even in his state of very compromised physical state, Collins greeted us with a smile and as much of a tail wag as he could muster. While he most certainly had a right to do so, Collins hadn't given up hope!
 
Over the next few months, Collins regained is strength and health, being very friendly and appreciative every step of the way. His wonderful personality also became more apparent as he recovered and he never once displayed anything other than a sweet and loving personality towards the people and other dogs that he encountered. Collins hasn't only been the ideal dog, he could also serve as a role model for people to help convince them to never give up hope and to always treat your fellow human with love and respect. To sat that Collins is an inspiration would be an understatement. 
 
Collins has now received an update on all of his annual vaccinations, been de-wormed and treated against parasites. He's also been neutered, started and kept on his monthly preventatives. To our surprise, he initially tested negative for heartworms in April, 2022. After some concerns that his heartworm test results may have been inaccurate, we had his retested again in July 2022 and once again received a very negative test results. This tells us that despite his very poor condition when he came to us that he must have been kept on a monthly heartworm preventative before becoming homeless. Included in his profile are a couple of pictures of Collins when he came to us and one of his July 2022 heartworm test results.
