Harry, an 8 month old blue boy, was sold here in Montreal by a local pet shop
that imports a wide variety of breeds from the USA. He came originally from a puppy farm
in Missouri. He ended up in our care after his owner decided that he was just too much for
her. She had been told by the pet shop that Bearded Collies were 'low maintenance dogs
requiring very little exercise'! She thought he'd be perfect for her lifestyle.Harry
lived with us for about 6 weeks and was quite a handful, but also a real sweetie. He has
now been placed with a wonderful family in Rochester, N.Y. They had owned a rescue Beardie
before for 15 years and Harry has proven to be just what they were looking for! They have
the patience, time and love to give him the life he deserves. Special thanks to Kelly
Canham-Tonkin who put us in touch with the adopting family by responding to the post we
sent to the 'Beardies-l' mailing list on the internet.
Technology came through for Harry! Harry's story has a happy ending. We wish it
could be the same for all.
