The Patriarch of the Rescue and a fearless leader. Sparky was the very first rescue 6 years ago. He is Kathy's guard dog and soulmate. He is Ken's best friend. Sparky taught us the genius of the border collie breed, the dedication of a life mate, he shows us daily the need for extreme exercise, and the value of resting. Both the four legged and the two legged in Sparky's fold know that he has everyone's back.
Dotty does double duty as our Princess and our Mother Hen. Our rescues always meet Dotty first. She then introduces the new family members to everyone else. Dotty speaks a language everyone understands - Love, friendship, acceptance. She is the master at helping the new rescues acclimate. GO DOTTY!!!!!
Kathy is in theory “head dog,” but the reality is she takes her marching orders from the much more mentally fit Border Collies. When there is ruffled feathers, she is the feather unruffler.
After Dotty, she is lead dog.
Ken is water boy and sidelines as our rescue transport.
When Ken is in the mix, it’s a free for all. Every rescue knows unequivocally that they make the rules when Ken is present. Angel outwits him; Sniper dances backwards around him; Dotty pushes him off the bed and couch; and Heidi thinks Ken hangs the moon.
A/K/A The animal whisperer. She helps manage the day to day operations and manages the Rescue and Pet Resort when Kathy and Ken are saving and transporting rescues to the Vet or to their new home.
Serenity loves the many kisses, hugs and dirty paws. Her heart is shaped like a paw. On occasion you can see the pack scheming how to out think Serenity.
