“Baker’s Dozen” Auction is Now Closed!!!

Please join us in this auction to benefit the Shelties at COSR! Ends Monday, Oct. 9 at 7 PM EDT.

With the recent influx of Shelties, we have incurred a lot of expenses trying to get the dogs healthy and ready for adoption. Some of our Shelties are forever foster dogs which means these dogs cannot be placed for one reason or another through no fault of their own. They will have the care they need for the rest of their lives. All proceeds from our auctions, fundraisers and donations go strictly toward vet bills, medications, food and care for these rescued Shelties.

CLICK on EACH PHOTO of item and PLACE YOUR BIDS in COMMENT SECTIONS. Descriptions are there as well as opening bids for each item. Please note the minimum bid increase increments on items are at least $2.00 and some are $5.00 minimum bid increase increments.

We ask that you look through our items and bid, bid, bid. Won’t you HELP US…SO WE CAN HELP THEM? We have included some pictures of our Shelties in this album so you can see whom you are helping with your support. We rehabilitate, socialize and rehome Shelties that have found themselves in shelters, humane societies or strays. We also take in unwanted Shelties that the owners can no longer care for themselves.

We hold these auctions to raise money for the Shelties at Central Ohio Sheltie Rescue, but bidding comes with a commitment to follow through with payment for the items you may win. If you are new to our auctions and placing a bid, please provide your email address. You can privately send it through messenger here on Facebook or email us at [email protected].

In case of multiple bids, the highest bid BEFORE 7:01 PM EDT will be accepted. Any bid posted at 7:01 PM EDT or later will not. We use the timestamp from Facebook to determine this outcome.

After auction ends, the winner’s name will be posted under each item. If you have not given us your mailing address, please do so asap. That way we can determine shipping amount according to your zip code. We’ll contact the winners via private message or email with totals and details as soon as possible.

Important: We ask that PayPal payments be made within 5 days from date auction ends. For those paying via check/money order, please mail to our rescue within 7 days from date auction ends. If you are a new participant and pay via check, it may take a little longer to receive your winning items.

Payments can be made through PayPal by going to our website at http://www.centralohiosheltierescue.com/ and clicking on "donate" button. Checks/money orders can be mailed to Central Ohio Sheltie Rescue, P. O. Box 13072, Columbus, OH 43213.

After payment is received, the items will be shipped as soon as possible via USPS. We make every effort to ship items safely and most economically. We do our best to estimate the cost of the shipping, but sometimes it may differ slightly. If we are off, we will gladly give over payment back to you. Items may come to you in more than one shipment if they are from more than one donor.

06/01/2023

ANGIE

Let's talk about the sweetest pup you could ever meet. Unfortunately, fate hasn't given her the opportunity to meet too many of you.

Angie came to us over Labor Day weekend last year. As God has plans beyond anything we could ever imagine, she and her brother (Benji) came to us at the same time that Miss Meagan crossed the bridge. Do you suppose Meagan knew Angie needed my home for a while?

It didn't take long for us to figure out that there was something terribly wrong with Angie. You see, she was bleeding as she walked. This wasn't just drops but a steady stream. She cried and whimpered as she strained to potty. So tests were run, ultra sound done, specialist consulted.

Unfortunately, the news wasn't good. It was cancer. Bladder cancer (TCC) to be exact and very advanced, too.

A diagnosis such as this and knowing her history of no vet care by previous owner brought forth a lot of mixed feelings. Sorry, pain, pity, are just a few. I have to admit, though, as I wiped the tears, I truly struggled with the anger.

It didn't have to be this way. Vet care is so very important. How do you stand back and watch.... I'd better stop now with the ranting. Although we try hard to hide these feelings when doing rescue, after 23 years, it is getting more difficult.

Baxk to Angie... we teamed up with Medvet and started a palliative treatment to get the cancer growth slowed down, but more importantly, our goal became getting her comfortable. We just wanted to give her some life, love and happy times.

With time, I enjoyed watching her truly live again. The bleeding stopped. The play began. This girl absolutely loves to play fetch. I actually wore out before she did! Oh, did I love seeing that smile and the joy in her eyes.

After several different types of chemo, the last one seemed to be more of a hail Mary than anything. It made her feel worse than the disease. I couldn't do that to her.

Three weeks ago, the dreaded decision to stop the chemo was made. For those next couple of weeks, I had the playful, spinning, barking, playing, Angie back. All that changed this week... she has stopped wanting to eat and is refusing her medications...

By the look in her eyes, I can tell that she is preparing to say goodbye. I'm struggling with that preparation on my side of this relationship.

I take each one in and love them as my own...even of I know from the beginning that they won't be here long. I try to remind myself that she has had nine months that she would not have otherwise had.

It just hurts so badly when I see the reality of a dying dog laying here next to me and knowing the hope is gone. Now she licks my tears as she makes eye contact. My anger resurfaces thru the pain tears...

It is now just a matter of time...if only love would heal...

Hug your babies close. Love them, kiss them, and ...vet them. They give so much but ask for so very little.

I will update when the time comes. Please remember is in your prayers. Rescuers do need your understanding for there is no way to fully explain what we feel or go thru.

Thank you for your support too. It helps us be able to help the ones that need it and lifts a huge burden off our shoulders so we can concentrate trade on the dog.

We still make a difference one dog at a time...so.etimes it looks different as we adapt to each dog.
