We found you this fall when we were getting ready to welcome a new sheltie into our lives. We had two wonderful shelties (including Marcus, the absolute love of my life) but had to put them to sleep about a year apart. They were amazing dogs and had long, happy lives... but forever with them would not have been enough for me and they left huge holes in my heart when we had to let them go. After being sheltieless for about a year, we decided that our hearts were ready to add a new member to the family. To get my sons excited for a sheltie puppy, we looked at pictures online and found the Sheltie Nation. Our tri-color pup, Molly, has been a wonderful blessing to us. She can never fill the holes in my heart from my previous pups, but she did help expand my heart to love her for the sheltie she is. My sons want to send photos of Molly for you to share on your page, so you will probably hear more from us. :) My sheltie angels Marcus and Sammy used to have their own webpage in the mid 90's, so I know they would whole-heartedly approve of the Sheltie Nation.

I lost one of the most incredible shelties anyone could ever hope to have over a year ago. She was the light of my life and well as many others. I have since gotten two of her nephews and love them dearly, but they are not Fiona Rose and that is the way it is supposed to be. When I got the boys, I was asked why because I am setting myself up for more heartache some day. My reply is look at all the joy and happiness I have until that time. I just cannot be without one of these special little dogs in my life. Thank you so much for allowing us to express ouselves, Tuck Rogers I just found this site and find it so inspiring.

Over the years, with the exception of my first Sheltie I purchased from a farm in Rockford, IL, I've rescued all of the other 4, and plan to next Spring, adopt another. I recently had to put down my Shiloh and, my Lacey seems lonely without a companion. I've had some problems lately with finances but, things are looking up and I want to contribute as much as possible to the shelter, they do amazing things with the neglected shelties they rescue. There was one I was considering, but the timing was not right and, he had had a terrible thing done to him. Someone set his back paws on fire and then smashed all his bones. He can walk a short distance. There was another last week that had an embedded collar and maggots all over him. This shelter is located in Bloomington, IL. Central Illinois Sheltie Rescue. The foster moms and the person who runs the shelter are magnificient and deserve so much adoration for what they do. It's always difficult to have a beloved pet move on and it hurts so bad but, rescue shelties or any other dog breed, are usually very happy in the time they have with the new owner who saved them.
