Ginny is a lovely, 8 yr, sable merle, female who is 17” tall and weighs 30 lbs. She has a strikingly lovely face with her 1 blue eye and 1 brown eye and a very full coat. Ginny was given up to the local animal shelter by her senior owner because the owner was unable to care for her any longer and was falling over her. Unfortunately, the owner had also let her get into very bad shape. Ginny weighed 50 lbs and could not walk when she came into foster care. But now 20 lbs lighter and on joint supplements and thyroid medication she is feeling much better and can get up and walk easily. Ginny does have hip dysplasia in both hips so will need to stay on the joint supplements permanently.

Despite her physical issues, Ginny is such a wonderful girl that we are hoping her angel is out there waiting to adopt and provide a new home for her. She is always happy to meet new people and enjoys all ages – though it would be best that children be old enough so as to respect not stepping on her. While Ginny doesn’t play with them, she does live well with other dogs and cats as long as they don’t pick on her. Ginny does not require a fence but does need a home all on one floor or with just a single step up or down as her hips do not allow step climbing. If you are looking for an enjoyable, happy new family member that wants nothing more than to hang out with you and keep you company, then Ginny is the girl for you.

Leah is a lovely, 5 yr young, sable, female who is 14” tall and weighs 18 lbs. Leah is a returned adoption through no fault of her own…the previous adopter ended up developing allergies to her. Leah is an active girl. She likes playing with the other dogs and gets along with the resident cats in her foster home. She is a little worried about people she doesn’t know but generally warms up quickly. Leah does well with visiting children but has not lived with one while in foster care or when with the previous adopter. Leah will quarrel with other strong females to assert herself so a home with no other dogs or easy going males is needed. She loves taking walks, rides in the car and joining you on the couch. Leah is very quick and fast so needs a fenced yard in which to play. She will be a good agility prospect if you are interested in trying it. If you are looking for cuddles and kisses then Leah is waiting for you.

Loretta is a spayed 3 year old sable female. She is a very calm sheltie and doesn’t bark a lot. Loretta walks very well on a leash and knows basic commands.

She also has not been evaluated with children. Loretta would make the perfect pet for the right family

Joey is a handsome, energetic, young man. He is a 6 year, 28 lb, 16”, bi-black, neutered male. Joey was released to the local animal shelter by his family because of a concern that he might nip at the young children -- one of dad’s family members had given him to the family just a short 6 months previously. Joey will be an enjoyable addition to the right home. He is happy, active and enjoys snuggling on the couch. However, Joey needs someone who will manage his behaviors and where the adopter would like to work with him in obedience, herding or agility. If you don’t give Joey a job, he will come up with one of his own. He enjoys singing in the evening and has learned that air conditioning is nice when it’s really warm outside. Joey is good with other dogs and cats, and it would be best if he is in an all adult home. A fenced yard is a must for Joey in which to exercise since he chases anything that moves and is so energetic.

Abby is about a 6 year old sable sheltie. She is about 17 in tall and 30 lb. Abby is well behaved in the home and a good companion but she has challenges meeting new people and going places.

Elvis also is a great natural retriever. Elvis will do best in a fenced in yard and has not been evaluated with children.

Toni is a 6 year old sable and white female sheltie whose elderly owner passed away. Toni had not been exposed to much of the world during her time with her owner so has devloped shyness as a result.

Andre was named for the movie about the orphaned seal. Andre came to us as a stray. He has a fear of fireworks, storms and gun shots. These things have seemed to have cause him to run off in fear without thinking what he was doing. Extra care needs to be taken to ensure the safety of this wonderful sheltie. Andre is a young adult male, about 17 in tall, 30 lbs. He is the beautiful mahogany tipped color that is so popular. Andre is a very easy sheltie to live with, once he was settled into his foster home from his vagabond adventures. He barks not too loud or much and is naturally obedient. He always is a loving sheltie and jumps up to give his foster mom one little sheltie kiss when he first sees her. Because extra care needs to be taken to keep this handsome sheltie safe a tall fenced in yard is necessary. Andre is interested in playing with balls. He has great fun with a very large plastic ball in the yard, knocking it around from place to place with his nose. This is great fun to watch or join in and play with Andre! Andre' became quickly devoted to his foster mom but he will attach himself quickly to a new home too. He really seems to enjoy not having to worry where the next meal comes from and enjoys a nice dry comfortable place to sleep. Andre does not seem to have any special health problems, rides well in the car, gets on well with other dogs. He has not been evaluated with children.
