Minnesota Sheltie Rescue

CONFESSIONS OF A RESCUE SHELTIE:
{Looking in on the world of a rescue Shetland Sheepdog}

By “The Bruce’s Robby of the Burns” (or just plain”Robby”)

[A Note to the Reader] – I want you to know that my human Dad is helping me with this story. You see, because this story is meant for humans to read, I need his help with human language and the special ways they have of looking at things. He is pretty good at translating “dog” into “human”, and so I am using him to help tell you what I am thinking and what I want you to know. So, here goes.

Looking for an easy-keeper? Then Prince is your man. Prince has been well cared for his whole life. He is a happy, well-adjusted Sheltie boy just waiting for his forever family. He loves going for walks, riding in a car, running and playing outside in a fenced yard, and playing fetch with his toys. Prince is a loyal companion and would prefer to be your only pet. Prince has been patiently waiting for his forever family, and we're all a little stumped why this great guy has had to wait so long...he's truly a prince among Shelties!

Neither wind gusts nor downpours could get in the way of MNSR Shelties and volunteers alike having a FANTASTIC day at the Minnesota Scottish Fair and Highland Games held at the Dakota County Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 22nd.

A big thanks to everyone who participated with great enthusiasm and a special thank you to our sponsors once again this year, and hopefully for many years to come, The Family of Bruce International.

A truly wonderful day was had by all! Be sure to mark your calendars to visit us next year on May 14th, 2011.

(It's about time I got this posted!) The 2010 Reunion was so much fun! There is no better way to spend an afternoon than being surrounding by friends - both human and Sheltie! A huge thank you to all of you who volunteered and to those of you who attended.

Once again, our friends at Jessie's Photography were on hand to take beautiful portraits. (If you're looking for a photographer for a special event, be sure to check out their portfolio.) Take a moment to browse through the album from the event: http://www.jessiesphotography.com/Dog%20Shows/MNSR%202010/MSR2010.htm

We'd also like to thank our other wonderful vendors that spent the day with us. Our friends from Gray Gables Farms were on hand with their delicious jams and fresh biscuits. Michele Bame, Certified Canine Sports Massage Provider, gave massages to our Sheltie friends, and Ilga Cimbulis, Animal Communication & Intuitive Consultations, gave readings to many guests.

We certainly hope to see you all again next year!
