Dear Karen,
If you are looking for a rescue, try Sheltie Rescues in Oregon. There should be a listing of the lady in Southern Oregon, I believe, who is the contact for rescues. I am really sorry to hear you had to lose your baby. I just lost my precious little Angie Love three months ago at the age of 16 1/2, and I started to look around here (Beaverton) for another baby after about one month. I decided to try to find a rescue but had trouble finding one near me, too, and finally found little Ritchie in The Dalles at a no-kill shelter, Home at Last. You might just find one at a shelter near you if you are lucky. Just keep looking and good luck.
Maida
Sweet Christopher and little Ritchie
