I just ordered. It came at just the right time. I was thinking today that Baxter's joint supplement was getting low and I needed to order more. Glad I waited until I got the email. It's a terrific deal!

My Fergus is 13" and his weight hovers around 14# give or take a little. I think his weight is perfect for him and so does my vet. He is very small boned. He did weigh 16# a couple of years ago and that was a bit heavy for him.

I had a Golden for a few years. Affectionately called"Goldie Big Dog," she came here as an adult dog that was placed with me as foster and ended up staying. She was very sweet and friendly with everyone, absolutely adored kids. She was very well behaved, never did anything bad, but had stubborn...

I was lucky too. Baxter was an owner surrender. I know where he came from and have copies of the emails exchanged between the rescue coordinator and the former owner. I know why he was surrendered or what they said anyway?? I also have copies of his vet records, they are very sketchy. I don't...

Baxter is usually happy to do anything and rarely gives a stink eye but here are some. http://www.sheltieforums.com/album.php?albumid=191&pictureid=5479 http://www.sheltieforums.com/album.php?albumid=191&pictureid=5480 http://www.sheltieforums.com/album.php?albumid=191&pictureid=3821 Here is...

Happy Birthday wishes to the beautiful Miss Diva.

Tara has been found. She is safe and is back at home.

Yesterday morning and internet friend's 2 Shelties got out of her yard. There were high winds the night before and unbenownst to her it blew open the gate. When she let her Shelties out they escaped. One of them was recovered a short time later the other is still missing. Central Illinois...

I am on Wisconsin Sheltie Rescues Facebook page, my Baxter came from there. I posted the Petfinder link there this early this morning. I'm glad she is going to Lisa. She's very,very good at finding homes for senior and special needs Shelties. She's been doing rescue a long time and has a lot of...

She is about an hour drive from me. It's very, very rare to find a Sheltie in a shelter in this area. I shared on Facebook. Hope she finds a home.

Being a business owner myself I know that you're in a tough spot here. First thing is I would not take the customers word that the dog requires further treatment. I would ask for a signed letter from the vet explaining the procedure, why the dog requires it and a presurgical estimate of the...

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I've lost more than one Sheltie from liver cancer. Shelties are tough little dogs and often do not display any symptoms of illness until they are extremely sick. The last Sheltie I did not know until about two weeks before he passed that he was sick. He went...

Even if the rescues close to you do not show available dogs should still turn in an application. Most of them will do the interview and home study and approve you in advance. If a Sheltie comes in that they feel is the right fit for you they will call you. Some shelties that come into rescue go...

What a terrible experience for you both. My son and I have both been bitten by Boxers. I was bitten by a Boxer when I was about 12 yrs old. The neighbors had one and never tied it or confined it at all. I live in a rural area and there was no alternate route to get home from the bus stop. I...

Wisconsin Sheltie Rescue is not far from Green Lake. I hope this is one of the shelters in Wisconsin that will work with rescue. There are a lot of them that will not.
