That's a lot of Sheltie hair, Linda! :))

Harvey was adopted from Colorado Sheltie Rescue in 2007 and has become a true gentleman even becoming certified as a therapy dog. Jackson was adopted from a breeder in Washington state. He too is a therapy dog putting smile on the faces of nursing home residents. Lovely boys, Kent!
