Dear Friends
On
December 21st, 2010, NJ Sheltie Rescue rescued 16 dogs living in
deplorable conditions in a one family home in Brooklyn, New York. These
Shelties were being kept by a hoarder who we know has been keeping
Shelties in this inhumane environment for over ten years.

Though
these dogs are in NY and out of the area we cover, it seems no one
wanted to step up to help them. Knowing these dogs were being kept the
way they were, we could not turn our backs on them knowing they so
desperately needed our help.

These Shelties are being kept
in a house with no running water, electricity or heat. The owner goes
to the house every few days to dump a bag of food and water. He no
longer resides in the house because it is unfit for human occupancy.
The windows are covered with cardboard allowing no sunlight, the house
is filthy and infested with mice. These Shelties are in total darkness
24 hours a day, everyday, and have never been outside in daylight. They
have never known the simple pleasure of rolling in grass, basking in
the warm sun, smelling the fresh air or going for a short walk. Many
have been living this way for over ten years. The owner reports that
there are, approximately, five feral Shelties living behind the walls
in the house. All the dogs are unsocialized and scared of the most
common every day sounds such as drawing a shade or the sound of
television.

There are still, approximately, 20-25 more
dogs living in this house, waiting to be saved. We would like to help
them, but unfortunately due to the cost of rescuing these 16 dogs and
the cost of caring for the dogs turned in to us weekly, our funds are
drastically and dangerously low. So we are reaching out to all of you
with the hopes that you might consider making a donation to NJ Sheltie
Rescue so we may be able to save the rest of these dogs and also give
them a chance to live out the rest of their lives as valued and
respected family members. We do not want to leave any dogs behind.

If
you would like to make a tax deductible donation to our rescue, it
would be greatly appreciated. Every little bit will help us get closer
to our goal!

Lastly, if anyone would like to help foster
one of these special needs dogs, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We are going to need, approximately, 20 foster homes. A very secure
fenced in yard is needed for these dogs. The only other requirement is a
lot of love and patience. All they truly need is a resting place to
hang their Sheltie hats and be shown that the world is not a scary
place.
