This is Dutchess and when I saw her picture; I knew she was the one for my current Sheltie
Sassy and me. Dutchess came from a hard life of being crated and had little to no contact with
humans. Immediately Sassy and Dutchess got along and I knew that although I was just
"fostering" she was going to end up staying!
Initially Dutchess was very quiet and not used to all the people attention. She has since started
to come out of her shell; she loves to be loved on, brushed, she is very good at the vet and
she just went for her first grooming at the doggy spa. She apparently was quite the attention
getter. She loves her walks and when I hold her leash her tail is held high, letting everyone
know she is a happy dog! She has learned her commands within in a month, and the first day
she stayed with me, she knew how to use the dog door .I have learned that Dutchess is blind in
her left eye but that doesn't seem to bother her. I am so happy to be able to save a life.
The best part of my day is when I walk in the door from work and have both dogs Sassy and
Dutchess greeting me with the biggest smiles. I know Dutchess is much happier having loving
human contact, something that was missing before I took her home.
So if you are contemplating fostering or adopting please feel free to contact the rescue and
talk to one of our volunteers to learn about the many dogs that are anxiously waiting for the
same opportunities. We have so many that are just as loving and caring as Dutchess and who
will appreciate the kindness you can bring to their lives and vice versa. I know Sassy and I do!

Hello, my name is Scooter I was adopted by my forever family in January of 2008. I did not
have much luck with the first owners and was turned over because I was considered “a
destructive dog,” little do they KNOW I am a HERO in my new family. Of course with the
change I was shy and scared when my new owner's son would want to play with me. Well it
didn't take me long to learn to love him. He feeds me, takes me on walks, and gives me
yummy treats!! I really know how to work the little one for his food. All of my family loves
me and in return I love them and protect them, especially the small one. I am always
watching out for him. Once we were in the living room and he fell and hit his little head,
mom was not around and I ran upstairs to get her. This was a proud moment for me. My
new owner was so happy and impressed with what I did that I got a really good reward. I am
always looking out for him, he is my best friend.
My new family also taught me commands and showed me that grooming was a very good
thing. I love to get groomed, that they send me a lot. As a Sheltie we have lots of hair and it
feels so good to have the groomers bathe me and brush my hair out. I must admit I also
love the attention I get when I go! I also learned how to play fetch and Frisbee, this drives
me crazy but I love it because we Shelties can be very active and I need to keep up with
the little one. As you can see I have a wonderful life and I love and protect my family as
they love and protect me!
So for those of you reading this and looking at the available dogs please take a real good
look and call to ask about them. I bet they can do the same for you and/or your family. If you
do your research on our breed we are very compassionate and loyal dogs. I was lucky the
rescue found me a wonderful family; I do wish my friends get a home soon. If you are a dog
lover and can properly provide for them, I promise they will take care of you! Call the
rescue if you would like more information! But as for me I am taken and will be with my
family forever.

Hi foster father John; This is Mickey from Globe AZ. Just a line to let you know
every thing is great here. We got back just recently from almost a month long
vacation to Utah, Idaho, Wash, and Oregon. We stayed most of the time in Oregon,
and I got to see the ocean. Had a great time, and I was a good traveller. We are
back home now, in my big yard. I love it here, and my new people love me very
much. I am sending you a picture of me in my big yard.
Love, Mickey

Well, here I am, enjoying my new life with Pat
and Bill in New Mexico. Putting all my past
experiences behind me, slowly but surely, I am
liking where I am and what is happening
around me. After narrowly escaping a fate at
the dog pound, some very nice people at the
Arizona Sheltie Rescue found me, and I
became part of a loving foster home of Kerry's
and Ed's. Then one day, about a month ago,
this two people from New Mexico showed up,
and we took a long ride to Silver City. It was
very different, and I waited to see how this
whole new surroundings would be.

I am here to tell you, it's been great. These people, Pat and Bill, have fallen in love with me. I think I
have them wrapped around my little paw! I get lots of loving, FOOD, play toys, and four cats to mostly
ignore. Bill gets up early and takes me outside which sometimes I want to do and sometimes I don't.
But he is kind of dumb and takes me out anyway. Pat then fixes my breakfast, so she is really the
smarter of the two. Then I sleep! What a great life!
