‘Herbie’ is a Merle Collie that came into Rainbow’s care as a stray on September 9, 2018 and his coat had been badly neglected.

He is a very affectionate dog and is 10 years young. He does have a few small issues which he doesn’t let dampen his spirits.

He can share his new home with other dogs but he does prefer not to be overwhelmed, therefore, a calm dog would suit him best but he is not suitable to rehome with children.

Commenting on ‘Herbie’s’ situation, a spokesperson for Rainbow Rehoming Centre in Eglinton said: “We really hope that our ‘Herbie’ doesn’t have much longer to wait before securing his forever home.”
