Oh, happy day! We recently got a phone call from a senior-ish couple down in St. George, UT, who had adopted another Sheltie, Lizzie, from us several years ago. We knew that these people were special, because Lizzie was very fearful, was a bit of a biter, and had known health problems. In spite of [...]

3 woofsWell, we’re down to 13 dogs (for today, at least — we may get another one tomorrow). Dakota just left with a fantastic retired couple from near Twin Falls, ID. For the moment, it’s a "foster" situation, but everybody believes that it won’t stay that way for long…it’ll turn into an adoption. (In fact, the [...] (No Ratings Yet) Loading ...

3 woofsActually, there’s been a fair amount of stuff going on with our pack over the last week or so. Let me try to catch up a bit. Right now, we have 13 dogs in house, including our own two (Star and Abby). I’ll go through the 11 rescues one at a time: * Chuy is deteriorating. He [...] Wow. Where to start? Yesterday morning, the lovely people who rescued Daisy (a/k/a Daisy Mae) three or four years ago (and nursed her through the loss of her leg — which was caused by her being hit by a car, not an infection as I suggested yesterday!) brought her over to our house. Daisy was a [...] (No Ratings Yet) Loading ...

One woofBarbara told me on the phone this morning (I’m on the road until the end of next week) that Shadow will be adopted this weekend, probably Sunday. She’s been talking to a family who lives in California but who happens to be in Colorado at the moment. They have just adopted a (young female) rescued [...] (No Ratings Yet) Loading ...

6 woofsWell, today was Tessa’s adoption day. Mid-afternoon, a slightly elderly man (let’s call him John, since that’s his name ) and his son (we’ll call him John too…same reason) came over for the older John to meet and adopt Tessa. Barbara had done a very careful pre-screen of this gentleman and we’d agreed [...] Today, before the dust had even settled from finalizing Shelbee’s adoption and getting Cole adopted, a woman to whom Barbara had been talking for several days came over with her dog Tanner. Tanner was, she said, a purebred 4 year old Sheltie who is deaf and started having seizures last October. Having been led into [...] (No Ratings Yet) Loading ...

6 woofsSometimes, it just works out. Let’s hope this is one of those times. A week or so ago, we took in a young (7 month old) tri-color male named Cole. Cole was pretty shy, moreso of men than of women, but not great even with women. He spent a fair amount of his time in [...] (No Ratings Yet) Loading ...

5 woofsWell, yesterday afternoon, them woman who was fostering Shelbee for us came over with Shelbee to finalize the adoption. You may recall from an earlier post that she wanted to be certain that Shelbee and her ferrets got along with one another. Well, they get along great and Shelbee is very protective of the ferrets. Here’s [...] I’ve been so busy annoying you all with my tribulations with this blog, that I haven’t actually blogged recently about the purpose of this whole thing: Sheltie Rescue! Lemme see…and please forgive me if I’ve told you some of this previously… Cassie came back to us (I know I did tell you this). But she went to [...] (No Ratings Yet) Loading ...
