Rescued Collie Arrives from South Korea, Goes All "Lassie", Saves Owner
What better way to celebrate National Dog Day than with a story about Lassie? How about a story in which Lassie is actually Alice where Alice is a Collie rescued from a high kill shelter in South Korea who finds her way to California where she saves her new owner from harm? Because that is what happened. And between dogs from Spain becoming therapy dogs and helping start prison programs and Korean Collies saving lives...I just might have to start an "Immigrants are Making Our Canine Nation Great" category.
Alice's story begins in a shelter in South Korea where she had arrived as a stray. She was being held for a ten day period to allow any surfacing owners to find her. After the hold expired, she would be euthanized if left unclaimed. Team Inch volunteer Wendy Lee Williams was alerted to her presence by a collie-enthusiast friend and immediately went to work to provide rescue for her if needed. Team Inch, named for "Inch", a rescued greyhound, works to rescue sight hounds and larger breed dogs, partnering with rescues in Canada and the U.S. as finding safe forever homes in South Korea for larger dogs can be difficult to achieve.

A LETTER FROM NCR PRESIDENT
Dear NorCal Collie Families,
The love and passion for the collies we serve is undeniably stronger than any force of nature, and we want to provide relief and peace of mind to all our NorCal Collie Families amid an unprecedented worldwide crisis.
In this ever-changing rescue landscape, NorCal Collie Rescue Board of Directors is launching a Covid-19 Collie Sanctuary Program for ANY collie family afflicted with the Covid-19 virus in Northern California. If you become ill with Covid-19 and are unable to care for your collie, NorCal Collie Rescue will be there for you and your collie(s).
We are working on the many details of this program, and more information will follow. However, as this crisis continues to hit close to home in such a frightening way, we want to reassure our collie families their beloved companion will be cared for by NCR in a loving sanctuary home until the collie owners are well. This is what families do for each other. It is our way of lending a collective helping hand to the collies we all love.
WHAT TO DO
If you would like more detailed information on the Covid-19 Collie Sanctuary Program now, please email laurie@calcollierescue.org. We want to hear from you if you need or think you might need our help.
If you would like to partner with us and become a very special Collie Sanctuary Home during these difficult times, contact laurie@calcollierescue.org to obtain more information regarding the requirements and commitments.
The Covid-19 Collie Sanctuary Program's purpose is to provide NorCal collie families, whether collies were rescued or purchased, with relief and peace of mind when they need it the most. Rescue comes in many forms, and we are here for you because we are all in this together.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you,
Lauren Caudill
