Quick trip to Lethbridge and back today to pick up a couple of dogs from Montana.
They are part of a group of about 75 dogs whose owner was shot and killed late in Sept.( http://www.greatfallstribune.com/article/20100928/NEWS01/928...) Helena Humane society took them over, had them all spayed/neutered , cleaned up ( fleas and worms of course) and then sent groups of them off to other shelters, Montana Sheltie rescue took 13 and several other sheltie rescue groups in the western USA groups have been taking those dogs. The dogs are actually sheltie/pomeranian cross. I volunteered to take 2 and another nearby rescue 1-2 because we are pretty close to where the dogs were near Kallispell. And there was a recent hoarding incident in Ontario that involved 22 shelties , Sheltie rescue there took them on and Michigan Sheltie took 5 of that lot. I figured I couldnt take the Ontario dogs so helped Montana instead. The dogs were transported in 3 sections- Kallispell to Shelby to Lethbridge and then to Calgary.
They are pretty cute dogs but have always lived outside, never had a coller/leash on but most of them are remarkably friendly. The one I am fostering is a gret licker and then rolls on his back to ask for belly scratches.
The other we have is a bit shy but will come round. Mine is 2, the other is 4 years old. Suggested names are Montana or Tripp for one, Journey for the other.
