Items sought for our upcoming eBay auction

We are actively seeking donations of items now for our much anticipated eBay Auction, which will start May 25.  We are accepting both doggie and non-doggie items.  We are told that items that sell particularly well are handmade ones, especially those with dog-related themes.  So all you sewers, quilters, painters and "crafty people" out there, we would love to hear from you.  But other items are also welcome.  It all helps!

Donations can be handled in three ways:

-- If you live in the area, you can drop items off at the home of our auctioneer Francine Lorts, or contact Francine to drop by and pick it up.

-- You can ship items to Francine, along with a description/history if the item is unique.  Also give the projected value.

-- You can keep the item.  Email a photo and description of it to Francine.  In this case, the person donating the item is responsible for packing and shipping it to the winning bidder.  Shipping costs would be part of your donation to PCSR.

For more information, contact Francine at francinelorts@msn.com or call her at  719-546-2168.  To ship items to her home, send to 140 W. 29th St., Ste. 351, Pueblo, CO 81008.

If donating is not up your alley but shopping is, you can play your part too once the bidding starts.  Our eBay ID is collieradosheltierescue.

This beautiful sheltie, Lily Rose, is the face of our eBay auction.  Our volunteer Francine Lorts, who is organizing the auction, is Lily Rose's loving mom.

Bilbo's Rescue Journey
with Us

"Great dog."   

Those were the words on the Pueblo shelter's form, filled out by the family that left their big collie-mix at the night drop.  Within days we discovered this gentle lamb of a dog had arthritic hips so severe that he must have lived with debilitating pain for years, that he had been shot at some point in his past, and that a life outdoors left him prone to heartworm disease.

It's a Dog's
Life

Scooter loves his toys but he would love them more at his forever home.  To read an updated bio on this little guy, go to the Available Dogs section.

That Fabulous Face

Now, who wouldn't love that nose, that face!  "Free Willy" is a sweet-tempered dog was who slated to be euthanized at a shelter because of skin issues due to allergies.  His coat is in poor shape, but we are working with a veterinarian to give him the right food so that he will no longer itch and his coat will fill out.  He may look a little funny right now, but his coat will soon be glorious--- and he will always have that fabulous face!  Free Willy is listed among Available Dogs and is ready for a home -- maybe yours! 

Volunteers Needed in Northern Colorado
We are in need of more volunteers in northern Colorado and the Denver area to help with home visits, fostering and doing transport.  If you have adopted from us, we would particularly like to hear from you.  Even if you have not adopted from PC/SR but would like to help, we would love to talk to you too.  You can email us at info@pueblocolliesheltie.org.

Foster Homes Needed Locally
We need foster homes in our area, particularly in Pueblo County but also in Fremont County and El Paso County.  If you can help, go to our Foster Care section to learn more and to contact foster committee members, who can explain more about this rewarding volunteer work.  You can email foster committee volunteer Doris Quinlan at dorisq3@comcast.net or call her at 719-544-8276.

'Go To' Volunteers Sought in Colo. Springs
Our wonderful foster parents Amie and Greg are being transferred by the military and will be leaving Colorado Springs soon.  We thank them for their help to PCSR over the years, and we also thank them for their service and sacrifice in defense of our country.  With Amie and Greg gone, we are looking for a "go to" person (or a few folks) in Colorado Springs to help with transport and to foster.  Please email us if you are available to help.

GE Lassie Ad

Our foster dad Bill of Parker, Colo., helped develop the "Matrix Lassie" ad for General Electric.  Bill has kindly given us permission to link this ad to our website.  Click Here … and be prepared to laugh!
