Why We Need Your
Donations
Bo
Bo is a perfect example of a rescue that requires extensive medical attention.
He had multiple surgeries totaling over $1000. Fortunately, Bo was adopted for our normal donation and is now in a loving
home. But as you can see from his case the cost required to ready some our Shelties for placement is higher
than the adoption fee. Donations of any amount are always appreciated and may be sent to:
Sheltie Rescue of East Tennessee
c/o Joyce Cardwell
104
Hollbrook Lane
Oak
Ridge, TN 37830
or
Sheltie Rescue of East Tennessee

Sarge
Sarge is a wonderful, happy
7 year old boy who, as you can see from his picture, is challenged with Dermatomyositis {DM}.
DM is a genetic autoimmune
condition that causes skin lesions and is incurable. Lesions are predominately
on the face, especially the muzzle, ear tips and around the eyes, the tip of the tail, bony prominences and the toes. Some cases involve the muscles, although this is less frequent in Shelties, causing
muscle atrophy. This symptom may cause problems with chewing and swallowing. Sarge has not shown any muscle involvement as of yet.
The symptoms are treated by steroids and other immune specific drugs.
Sarge has not been able to
receive his shots due to the current outbreak and is not available for adoption. We
are posting him to help educate people about this condition which can be avoided by careful breeding practices. For more information on DM please refer to The Texas A & M Dermatomyositis site. Or do a web search for “Dermatomyositis in dogs”.
