Jimmy the senior sheltie is just one of several dogs in our program who have incurred some major vet bills over the past few weeks. Jimmy is in a foster home and ready for a new life.
If you have ever thought about making a donation to help PCSR dogs, now would be an ideal time. You can mail your tax-deductible donation to 234 S. Hacienda del Sol Dr., Pueblo West, CO 81007.
Thank you.

Life Beyond
This Cage…
Albert the Sheltie Ready for a Home
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One by one, they pass by my cage,
Too old, too worn, too broken, no way.
Way past his time, he can't run and play.
Then they shake their heads slowly
and go on their way.
A little old man, arthritic and sore,
It seems I am not wanted anymore.
I once had a home, I once had a bed,
A place that was warm, and where I was fed.
...When I had almost come
to the end of my rope,
You saw my face, and I finally had hope.
You saw through the grey,
and the legs bent with age,
And felt I still had life beyond this cage….
Read all about Albert
and the rest of this beautiful poem
(but have the Kleenex box handy!)
on the Available Dogs section.

CeeCee Gets Her Wish: A Brother

Craig and Donna of Colorado Springs recently adopted CeeCee, an active collie-mix, from us. They soon realized how much CeeCee needed the company of another dog. Fortunately, we had a great match, the darling sheltie Teddy. These two dogs are now best friends … and may be just a wee bit spoiled!
