Collie pups

This photo is of collie pups included in a recent transport through our animal welfare organization, Clean Slate Animal Rescue. The pups were ten weeks old at the time; all seven brothers and sisters along with their lovely collie mom were pulled from a high-kill shelter in Kentucky in May of this year and transported to a collie rescue in Virginia, where I'm pleased to report that all eight dogs soon found loving forever homes. Before that time, however, we were happy to house the tired family for twenty-four hours before taking them on the first leg of their journey.

As a Maine native, I have been familiar with Planet Dog (located in Portland) for some time, and would love to see these pups grace the pages of your wonderful online photo album. Thank you for all that you do for dogs, rescues, and dog lovers everywhere - your organization is truly an inspiration!

Nala

We adopted Nala from the MidWest Border Collie Rescue (MWBCR). I worked with several rescues (and even fostered a MinPin) while searching for our next forever dog. I have fancied Border Collies for so long and I worked with the MWBCR for the better part of a year trying to find the right one for our family. Believe me, every person in that organization knows my name whether they've met me or not. They've put me through heartache and also given me tears of joy.

So, introducing Nala. She came from kill shelter in Oklahoma with four sisters. Two of them had parvo, all of them had several types of worms, coccidia, and were malnourished. After some TLC at her foster home we picked her up on June 19th (who knew Iowa could be so pretty). Kiss her, she's adopted.
