Quite often we will rescue collies that are elderly and others also in need of special medical care.  Because there are reasonable limits on what we can ask regarding adoption fees for older and medically challenged collies, the adoption fee usually does not cover their medical expenses.  To help cover these expenses so that we can save collies regardless of age and medical condition, we have set up a special fund to help these collies.  It is called “The Angel Fund” and is named for Angel, one of our elderly rescue collies.

Angel came to collie rescue when a shelter worker contacted us about a purebred, elderly collie in the shelter, one he thought was too sweet to die.  And was he ever right.  Every volunteer who came into contact with Angel fell in love instantly.  At a likely 11 years old, her chances of getting adopted were remote...but once you met her, well, let's just say that two volunteers independently came up with the name "Angel" for her.
