Looking Forward to Fall and ... the Picnic!!

NVSR Picnic - September 25thHeadline |
 The NVSR Annual Picnic is coming up in just a few days! It's bigger and better than ever this year, and we're hoping for a beautiful sunny day. (We managed fine last year in the rain, but we'd rather not have to do that again.) We hope to see all of you there to share, show off, learn, visit and have fun. All friendly dogs are welcome, too, so bring your Sheltie's friends.
Saturday, September 25, 2010
Noon to 4:00 pm
Here's just some of what you can expect:
 Demonstrations in agility, grooming, massage, tracking, rally.
Games - always popular for the fun-loving Shelties and humans. (Hint for Shelties: practice sitting in a hula hoop.) Silent Auction - look below for a few of the outstanding items donated - get your bids in early and often! Sheltie Shop - the brand-new 2011 NVSR calendar will be there, along with new t-shirts, notecards, tumblers, grocery bags, and other great Sheltie items. Foster Corral - always so popular - we love to show off our beautiful foster dogs ready for adoption. Perhaps YOU'RE interested? Adopter Parade - it gets longer and longer every year.
Microchipping - free for NVSR alumni; $25 other dogs.
Photographs of your Sheltie and friends, canine or human. The Silent Auction will offer lots and lots of very tempting items: unique gift baskets, jewelry, hand-crafted items, comfortable dog beds, Sheltie items of all kinds, and ... take a look at this beautiful artwork donated by Susan Sills, a very talented adopter. "Bark, Bark ..." "Millie" "Sadie" "Lionheart" If you can't come to the picnic and you want to bid on one of these beautiful originals, let us know, and we'll put your bid in. Plan to bring your own lunch - we'll have bottled water there. Bring your checkbook - we are not able to take credit cards at the picnic. Come help NVSR celebrate another successful year rescuing needy Shelties. We're looking forward to seeing YOU there! |

Looking for Homes ...Article Headline |
Check our Web site for details about these and our other wonderful Shelties. Most of our foster dogs will attend the picnic, so stop by the Foster Corral on September 25th and get some free Sheltie kisses. And, maybe you're ready to adopt another Sheltie????
 Renny, age 2, is looking for non-stop fun with folks who love to play. Renny would love a canine friend and a big fenced yard. Check out his cool hair-do, too.
 Madison, age 10, is a sweet, sweet girl that would love to have someone just spend time with her. She would repay that lucky person with devotion and snuggles. Madison loves a gentle walk every day.
 Shady, age 8, would love to be the center of attention as an only dog. He's fine with cats, though. Shady likes a gentle walk so he can investigate all the smells in the neighborhood. He's a wonderful companion.
 Petey, age 1, is another youngster full of energy and looking for fun. He really enjoys other dogs and would be a good prospect for agility or other dog sports. |
