Ruthie

Ruthie came to us from a kill  shelter. She had a 3 lb tumor on her side when she came in and was in bad shape. She seemed to have a short, but very hard life and it had taken it's toll on her. 

Ruthie had the growth removed and sadly, it came back with cancer cells.  We do not know how much time Ruthie will have with us, but we do know she is sweet, loving, gentle, and deserving of unconditional love.

Sometimes, we will have a dog that comes in that will have an unknown future, but that we feel should not be moved around any more than necessary. We will "forever foster" these dogs.  

They get to stay with their foster families who know and love them and we can continue to give them the care they need.  It literally takes the village to take care of these dogs. 
 
Ruthie is looking for sponsers to help with her care. If you are interested in this, please contact us or go to the donation page (click here). Please type "Ruthie's care"  in the notes when making donations. Thank you.

About Tri State Collie Rescue (TSCR)

TSCR, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is an all-volunteer, foster-based Collie rescue based in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee and West Virginia, with volunteers also located in Illinois and Pennsylvania. Our rescue provides veterinary care and temporary homes for owner-surrendered, stray, neglected or abused dogs. We work with shelters to pull collies and shelties in need of rescue.

TSCR strives to help collies and shelties, one adoption at a time. We are always in need of foster homes, as well as donations to care for the dogs in our care. Donations needed include monetary funds to pay for veterinary care, as well as donation supplies, such as collars, leashes, crates, food and toys.
