ANOTHER PLEA TO GHF FOR HELP, THIS TIME FROM INDIANA... Again, we’ve been asked to help in a bad breeding situation where Border Collies languished and suffered. This time it’s Indiana and FIVE dogs now have safe haven at Glen Highland Farm. There were 31 dogs voluntarily released due to pressure from the public. The conditions in Indiana are actually even worse than the Sprakers NY situation, as shocking as that may sound. The dogs were confined to tiny 3x5 pen areas never outside to touch grass or feel the sunshine. They lived in their own feces and urine, piled high. Water was provided with a hose squirted into the pen so contaminated puddles were what they drank. Food was tossed onto the floor. They were not touched or handled in any way except to be pulled by their tails to move them where they needed to go. Over 14 years, GHF has repeatedly taken numerous groups of Border Collies when breeders were ‘closing’ or confiscation situations occurred. It’s very common for us to take in a group of 5 or more dogs at a time. We are able to handle larger numbers so are often asked to help, even outside our geographic coverage area. * In 2004, we pulled 10 dogs from a NY Indian Reservation ‘breeder’. * In 2005, we took 6 dogs when a PA breeder came into scrutiny. * In 2006, GHF stepped up for 25 dogs from a PA breeder who became ill. * In 2009, GHF assisted in the close down of a Tennessee breeder, Richard Swafford. We took 10 dogs into rescue. * In 2011, we helped with a Texas breeder confiscation of over 150 Border Collies, taking 15 dogs. * In 2014, GHF assisted the SPCA with confiscation and release of 46 dogs from the NY breeder, Herbert Weich. We took 32 dogs into rescue. And, now again, we are helping with dogs in need. We continue on, committed to help whatever Border Collie needs us. We do this, with you, side by side, supporting GHF. Please know how deeply grateful we are, to you, each of you, who make a new life possible for all these dogs. The pain of seeing their hopelessness is lessened by knowing that you step up to help us help them. This time it’s Indiana. There will be more. We will continue on.
