Unfortunately many of us don't realize that when rescues come in they are normally matted and manged, starved and on thier last leg. if you ever check out Tri State Collie Rescue who I volunteer my time with, The collies that come in to them are very simalar. Of course when we put them on the site to be adopted they have already been fostered and cared for for months on end to make them healthy again. My foster girl Madison is on her last stage of meds for mange and next week I will have her spayed so she may be ready for adoption.
I am satisfied right now with spending money helping Tri State instead of saving money to get Steele back into the conformation ring.
Here is a little collie guy found on the road that tri State is working with now. He will be ready to go to a foster home soon to finish his recooperation.
If anyone is interested in taking a look at Tri State Collie Rescue and the wonderful things we do, here's the site.

Its sickining how people have a small health problem with thier collies and just throw them away like trash.
