New Arrivals

Yesterday we got some new kiddos here at the farm. HSUS broke up an alleged puppy miller in Portland, TN. 107 border collies and 1 beagle were freed. About 55 were relinquished to rescues. New England Border Collie Rescue, Inc. www.nebcr.org now has 7 new dogs. They will require lots of TLC and rehab, spays, neuters, and medical care for their lice, secondary infections, and we won't know about heartworm, etc., until next week. Their names may change as they go to their "real" foster homes - Sugar Bush Farm is their half-way house until they are cleared medically and emotionally to move.

Meet the "Lucky Seven"

You are an angel. I wish I could help with the overhead but we are pretty strapped. I am originally from Greenfield,MA. and I know Sugar Bush Farms. Please know that your efforts do not go unnoticed. We applaud your devotion, your patience and your love. These dogs could not have been delivered to a better "half-way" home.

Kathy,

Looks like you will need even more towels than I brought on Sunday so a check is in the mail. The "before" pictures are heartbreaking but I know the "after" pictures will be miraculous!
