Precious Secrets Sheltie Rescue

Over thirty years ago we became the best of friends. Our friendship grew even more when we started living our lives with our "furkids." We both decided to try our hand at obedience competition. Although we did really well, we kept getting beat by those "little Collies." Of course, we both had to have one. We soon learned that "Shelties" are like potato chips, you cannot have just one.

As we got more involved in the doggy world, we learned about how many homeless animals are euthanized each year. The millions of unnecessary deaths just made us sick. Although we are only two people, we knew we had to do something. We decided to start our own Sheltie rescue. We dreamed of a nice house with a kennel in the back yard for the homeless Shelties. We visualized a lot of fenced-in land for the dogs to run in and maybe even a farm animal or two. It took us over five years to find our dream place that met all the legal requirements, but our dream came true in December 1998.

Naming our rescue was not a hard decision. "Precious," (a sable Collie) was Cathy's first dog and "Secret," (an All-American) was Pam's first dog. Whenever either of us formerly named one of our dogs, we used Precious or Secret in their registered names. So, in memory of all of our own dogs, we agreed on Precious Secrets Sheltie Rescue.

We pride ourselves on taking in any Sheltie in need. Whether homeless, injured, sick, young or old, etc., they have a place at PSSR. This is only possible because of our great supporters. Without each and every person, we could not continue. Somehow we have survived the ten Morrow County puppy mill cases, the quick decision to save Oreo's life, the amputation of Bear's leg and the hundreds of other homeless stories. We wonder what lies ahead of us....
