Welcome to the group!
What a beautiful little gal you have there, and even though she won't take the place of your other sheltie I can tell she has what it takes to mend your heart!
We lost our first trio of shelties one year apart. By the time our last one had to be put down I was so very sad and drained. Lucky for us we had a sweet rescue sheltie boy we named Bentley who welcomed us home. I must have hugged him for an hour upon our return.
We are slowly building up our numbers again and currently have four beautiful shelties, three of whom are rescues.
