An update on Dakota(Cody now)...

Linda posted this on January 3rd, 2010

He is the best dog, and he has a new brother Beau. Beau is a rescue from Minnesota and together the two of them have so much fun. They’re both good travelers and we’re so happy to have both of them. They have completed their beginner classes in obedience and passed [...]

Dakota’s New Adventure

SheltieJim posted this on April 11th, 2009

Well, 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 [...]

A Pack Update

SheltieJim posted this on March 15th, 2009

Actually, 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 [...]

Busy Weekend!

SheltieJim posted this on March 8th, 2009

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 [...]

Senior Adopts Puppy

SheltieJim posted this on February 9th, 2009

Well, 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 [...]

New Boy Cole Already Adopted

SheltieJim posted this on February 8th, 2009

Sometimes, 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 [...]

They Come and They Go

SheltieJim posted this on February 6th, 2009

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 [...]

Cassie’s Got a Forever Home

SheltieJim posted this on January 10th, 2009

Back in (I think) August 2008, four Shelties were turned over to us together. They were:

Cassie — A mahogany sable and white girl about nine years old who had (about five months earlier) given birth to three puppies
Sherlock — A blue merle boy about three years old who was the sire of those puppies
Dakota — [...]
