"The Lancaster 11"
rescued September 2007
|
Our first experience with a large group of shelties directly from a puppy mill breeder in Lancaster, Pennsylvania ~ known as the "Lancaster 11". Their journey began in September, thanks to the hard work and coordinated efforts of Laura Flynn, Camille of Rawhide Rescue, Aneita Frey [our President/Founder] and Diane O'Donnell of Long Hill Kennels ~ then off to their foster homes .
Each sheltie has a personal page, whether still being fostered or already in his/her forever home ~ but this page will be maintained to show pictures from September 30, 2007 to most current appearance [if possible]. When viewing the before/after photos for each sheltie, click on the one at right to visit personal page/read their stories.
