We adopted our Mandy from Houston Sheltie Sanctuary in May 2003.  What a wonderful addition to our home!  She helps us get our excercise by taking us for a daily walk.  She entertains us with squirrel barking antics and fun games.  She encourages K to spend more time at the computer writing but not too much time--the girls must have a backyard frolic now and then.  Mandy is making good progress with obedience.  She is a smart cookie and always wants one.

A one-year-old sable & white sheltie was left in Harris County's overnight drop box and had her left rear leg broken. ACO Ed was suprised and delighted when HSS rescued her and named her Mandy.  After open reduction surgery, she spent two months with Malissa in doggie ICU and recovered completely.  We met our Mandy at her second foster home with Bill & Nancy and quite simply fell in love with her.  She's settled happily into our home and lives.  She loves the doorbell and greeting our visitors.

Thank you, Houston Sheltie Sanctuary.  Your volunteers saved  Mandy for her forever home.  Ours!
