2005 Success Stories -Part 1
Updated 4/24/2005
KOBE
went to live with the most outgoing cat I've ever seen! We were there 10 minutes and the cat was crawling all over him, checking him out, playing with his big ears.. Kobe was such a trooper and looked at me as if to say, "You've GOT to be kidding me!". They've already sent an update that Kobe and Kitty are great friends and he's having a blast being the top dog in the house.
POKEY
He went to a great home with two other shelties and a smooth collie. Pokey will get to travel to agility shows to watch his doggie siblings perform.

Okey dokey, Pokey!

TRIXIE
makes her home with a great lady and her sheltie Dolly. Trixie has a great backyard and lots of attention!
TRAVIS
went to a foster home while I was at the nationals and they kidnapped him and decided to keep him :) Since they have two other double merles, Travis will fit right into their large canine family.

Isn't that a triple double merle??
TIFFANY
makes her home with a nice woman and two cats. She is not much bigger than the cats so she's adapting well to her new environment, getting daily walks and her own patio doors out of which she watches the squirrels.
SABRINA
was surrendered do to a child's allergies and she gets to go to a home with two sable sisters who wanted a blue BOY toy, but will have to settle for a blue DIVA sister.
KASEY
makes his home with a nice family similar to the one that he came from. If you remember, he had to leave behind a little boy and a sheltie brother due to the father's allergies. He again has a little boy in his life, but no sheltie brother (yet ;))))
SMOKEY
gets a new home with a couple who have not had a dog recently, but several cats. Smokey will be happy to be in a home where he gets all the attention.
LEXI and ANGEL
About a month and a half ago, a great lady from IL came to visit and fell in love with Angel. She was willing to take Lexi too, but since she didn't have a fenced yard, I didn't think it would work out with the two of them.

MAGGIE
makes her home with a nice couple and two other senior rescued sheltie girls. Dad works at a huge pet supply chain store, so Maggie will not be hurting for toys and treats!
ZOE
makes her home with fellow WSR shelties Sassy and Rex. After being adopted 5 years ago and then being abandoned back at rescue while boarding, it was also discovered that Zoe is hypothyroid. Luckily, she is with adopters now who will make sure she gets the proper vet care.
MOUSE
went to his new home today. The only thing left for his post-surgical care is for the stitches to come out and their vet is going to do that. This way, Mouse can get started on Housebreaking 101 as soon as possible! Here's a picture with his new mom and the cute jacket she bought him to keep his partly shaved body warm!

SKIP
makes his home with a great lady and her daughter and their HUGE fenced in yard with neighbor dogs for Skip to flirt with all around him. He's already signed up for obedience classes!
RASCAL
will have the quiet life he's dreamed about since he got here. During the day, he will share his house with a cat.
PANDA
went to her forever home with a great group of three shelties (and their owners :). She's looking forward to a proper retirement with the spoiling that she deserves.
CHIP
goes home with a great family who has a soft spot for the seniors. They adopted Jordi in the fall, but unfortunately only had him two months before he passed away. This time, they adopted a younger Chip who plans to make their life interesting for many years to come!
MEIKA
makes her home with great family and their sheltie. Meika will have a great role model.
BRUNO
has made his home with a great corgi person who has known and loved this breed for years.
ROBBIE
went to his new home with the most adorable little sheltie named Bucky. With any luck, Robbie will get a little bit of good training from Bucky, and Bucky will learn to love his little brother. Between the two of them, they sure have enough toys to share! They'll need them because in spring, they're going to have a sheltie puppy to play with.
