Sheltie Nation

Deal of the century!

I volunteer on Saturday at Salt Lake County Animal Services and although about 1/4 of the dogs we get are purebred, we don't see many Shelties. I guess they're too smart to get lost.

Anyway, one Saturday I noticed this sad face in a kennel. I took her out into one of the runs. She didn't want to do anything except lie on the grass. I took a few photos and petted her for quite awhile. She was so reserved and even depressed.
 


Later, a couple who was on the list to adopt came to visit with her. She interacted with the family quite well and, after the visit, I took her back to her kennel. In a few hours I came to take her out again.

What a difference! She moved around the run and flashed the trademark Sheltie smile. I'm sure it was because she was certain that she now would have a home. The couple paid the adoption fee of only $95, which included the spay and even a microchip; truly the deal of the century!

Thanks for volunteering to help needy dogs Ken!

Sheltie is workin' it!

Cadfael’s version of “The Look”: Whilst in his dad’s arms, he turns his head, rests it on dad’s shoulder, and bestows a heart-melting gaze upon his mum. Cookies inevitably follow!

What a doll he is Ron & Janice!

Patriotic Sheltie!

Magnum's humans celebrate the 4th to the max!

What a good boy Janea!

Windy Sheltie!

Why do Shelties look so extra funny & cute when it is windy out?  LOL

Chase is a real cutie Stephanie & Dan!

Yea, high five! I got adopted!

Chummy has his own take on the "shake" command!

Congrats on adopting him Jean!

Ready when you are!

Lindy, what a lovely photo of Maverick!

I'm waaaay too dignified for this.

Cody just turned 15 and though a little creaky, very perky for a boy his age.

Don't worry, Sue promised him a treat. It was worth the humiliation of being photographed wearing a ribbon! :)

Happy faces at the rescue BBQ!

This picture of Mac and Bonnie was taken at the Kennebec Valley Shetland Sheepdog Rescue barbecue. 

They were smiling the whole day with about forty other Shelties running around.  A good time was had by all.  Over 50 people showed up and 400.00 was raised for rescue!

Thank you Perri & everyone for adopting!

It was also Abby's 12th birthday.  :)

Way to go Holly!

I thought you said it was a flower "bed"!

Cheeky little Lucy looks cute as she squishes some of her mom's flowers.

Congrats Katherine!
