Houston Collie Rescue needs Help
Houston Collie Rescue is in desparate need of help. As you can see from the below quote, they have gotten many collies from a seizure. They need foster homes and donations. We have offered to take a couple of the collies here, but transportation in the hot summer can be difficult.
If you can help in any way please visit:

By now some may be aware of the 51 collie seizure of dogs belonging to
Elaine Kmiec from Tomball Texas. It is our understanding that ALL her
dogs were seized and then voluntarily signed over to avoid prosecution.
These animals have been tagged as Animal Planet, animal Cruelty
investigations. We are posting what facts we currently know but they are
ever changing. As of today HCR has been told that 41 of the collies
will only be released to Houston Collie Rescue. It is believed the other
10 will be adopted out and their success stories will be followed and
aired on Animal Planet. Houston knows the collies are about 50/50 rough
and smoothies. Some are testing HW positive, internal parasites, some
with demodex, emaciated, some more than others.Houston Collie Rescue is very busy setting up locations and transport to
a command post to catalog, michrochip, photograph each dog. We will
release photos and descriptions as they are available. All collies will
be vaccinated and altered as this is the releasing agencies requirement
and proof of such must be submitted back to them by HCR.The Collie Rescue Foundation (CRF) and the CCA have both been wonderful
at offering HCR assistance.HCR is already very inundated with rescues collies since we continually
cover all of Texas.
Due to lack of foster space and already 10 dogs in boarding and 2 more
coming in from Dallas our already discounted boarding expenses will be
even higher due to this intake. Once the photos are circulated any
breeders wishing to obtain their collies are welcomed but must arrange
their own transports. We will be reaching out to our fellow rescues
throughout the US to possibly take some of these dogs into your
programs. Especially smoothies. We are still sitting on 3 from Elaine’s
last seizure. Again transports need to be arranged.

Oh how awful! Was this a “breeder” or a collector? How I wish I could help!! What a terrible state for ANY dog to be in…..
