Minnesota Sheltie Rescue

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!

We had a great time at the Twin Cities Pet Expo this year. I hope that those of you who stopped out had fun as well.

Thank you to our dedicated volunteers and their Sheltie ambassadors that staffed the booth this year. And an extra-special thank you to Kristie for organizing the whole event!

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Check out the Twin Cities Pet Expo! Come on out and visit with the Shelties staffing our booth (oh, and say hi to the volunteers too!).

Our MNSR Ambassadors Stacy and Kent had a great time talking to the attendees about the Sheltie breed at the ECCHA Better In Show event in Eau Claire, Wisconsin this weekend.
