How can I ever thank Sheltie Rescue and my foster mom and dad enough.  I was so sick when I came to Sheltie Rescue.  After a much needed grooming, treatment for heartworm, all shots and having my teeth cleaned and some even pulled, I was ready to go to my forever home with Clem and Lavonne.  They came to meet me even before I was done with my heartworm treatment.  They fell in love and waited for me to be ready for adoption.  I will be so spoiled and loved.  I know my new mom and dad will enjoy me as much as my foster mom and dad.   I am a happy Sheltie girl now!!

You might not recognize me.  I was JimBob, now named Toby and had those horrible bite marks on my back side that had to be shaved.  I think there were even maggots coming out of them.  Not anymore.  My new owner takes me to a special lady, who bathes me, brushes me and makes me more handsome than I already was.  My backside is clearing up really well and I am getting hair again.  My new dad doesn't even care, as long as I am happy.  Can you believe I have a sister who looks just like me?  She was visiting my sick grandma when this picture was taken, but we play all the time.  My tail has not stopped wagging since I came into Sheltie Rescue.

What do you think of my little brother Reece ? He and I hit if off just great and I really like playing with him. You can see our tongues show we were having a ball. I am so happy to be in a house where I can play with another dog. My foster dogs were a little bit unfriendly and I played with stuffed animals. Now, I have a fenced in yard, two great parents and a new brother. We are almost the same age, isn't that neat ? Thanks Sheltie Rescue for finding me a wonderful home.

We come from a musical family.   So it shouldn't surprise anyone that the official rite of 'canine adoption' in our home is to create a song that we can sing to our 'hairy kids' while we are loving on them. However, since Linc was a 'foster' that we might have to give up, we resisted creating a family song for him -- until a few months ago.  That's when we noticed that Linc was smiling and happy quite a bit of the time.   While this little guy has a bit of a loner disposition, Linc has always displayed a sweet, gentle and easy-going demeanor.  This "French Vanilla boy" has been an absolute joy to have in our home  And when Linc began to seek affection from us on a regular basis, we finally broke down. Our family has happily accepted Linc as our own.  And that's the way it should be. This senior boy is home to stay.
