Permission to cross-post.Seems that horse folks LOVE working dogs, so I am posting this info in hopes that someone may be able to save these Kelpie dogs. Aussie Kelpies are the best herding dogs, they are very smart and loyal. Ilove my Lucy, she's a 10 yr old Kelpie.If these dogs are not rescued/adopted they will be shot. Please contact Terri directly at 580-330-1459 email remembering_oddball@yahoo.comThese cattle dogs were owner surrender.Here are pics of the ACD - don't have pics of the Aussie/Kelpie mix:http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r267/onestarfish/Dogs%20for%20Adoption/OK-BurnsFlat_RedFemale2.jpghttp://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r267/onestarfish/Dogs%20for%20Adoption/OK-This girl is at Burns Flats, OK, where the method of euthing is shooting.

How sad! My last dog was a Kelpie and she was THE BEST dog! Unfortunately, I now have a dog who needs to be an 'only' at my house. Plus, I'm way out in Calif. I'm hoping and praying for them. Thanks for posting.
