Happy 4th of July from Fresh Start Sheltie Rescue!!!


FSSR Brag!!!!


Picasso, adopted from Fresh Start Sheltie Rescue in October, 2005 recently became certified as a Delta Society therapy dog!!! He impressed everyone on his first visit to a nursing home. Here is a quote from his 'mom' regarding his first visit - "Our boy did wonderfully! (what else did we expect, right?!?) Michael and I were both so proud of him. He's got such a sweet face that while some of the dogs made the elderly people hesitant, almost every one of them welcomed Picasso into their rooms. He went and visited with people who couldn't get out of bed (but could rub his soft head), people in the Alzheimer's Unit, people who could barely speak, people who rolled up in wheelchairs-- and was the perfect gentleman to them all. We are such proud parents, he brought so much joy today." He will also be visiting schools (where children with learning disabilites will read to Picasso in their "Sit, Stay, Read" program), the local Children's Hospital, the Comprehensive Cancer Center, as well as a few hospice programs. Congratulations to Christina, Michael, and Picasso!!! We are so proud of you all!

ABOUT US . .

Fresh Start Sheltie Rescue, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating Shelties that need a "Fresh Start" in life. We take in Shelties that are abandoned, lost, mistreated, or no longer wanted. We do not have a shelter facility; therefore the dogs in our program are housed and cared for in our network of dedicated foster homes. Our special rescue Shelties will be available for adoption after they have been vaccinated, spayed or neutered, checked (and treated if necessary) for heartworms, checked (and treated if necessary) for parasites, and groomed. Prospective homes will be thoroughly screened before being considered to adopt. For additional information about the adoption process, click on the Adoption Info. link on the left.
