Giving back
For every home I help sell, I make a donation to NorCal Sheltie Rescue. Not at the end of a good year, and not when somebody asks. Every sale. It is the part of this job I am most quietly pleased about, and it costs you nothing.
Why this one
I have raised Shetland Sheepdogs for more than twenty eight years. That is long enough to have watched a few of them grow old, and long enough to know exactly what it costs to look after one properly when something goes wrong.
Not every dog lands somewhere that can do that. Some end up in a shelter at eight years old because somebody's health changed, or because a family moved and the new place said no dogs. I have spent my whole career helping people through the exact kind of change that sometimes ends with a dog in a crate at a shelter, so it did not feel like much of a leap to send part of every sale to the people who pick those dogs up.

Where it goes
A Northern California nonprofit that rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes Shetland Sheepdogs. Medical care first, then a foster home, then the part everybody pictures, which is somebody's second chance. All of it runs on volunteers, foster homes and donations.
They do the work. I just make sure a bit of every closing goes their way. If you would rather give to them directly, or foster, they will take either gladly and they need both.
Twenty eight years of Shelties and twenty years of moving families out here went into one guide, including the county deadline nobody warns you about and the three dog parks worth the drive.
Lets connect
No contract, no obligation, and no pressure to be further along than you are. Plenty of people write to me a year before they are ready, and that is genuinely the right time to write.
