This painting titled Heartdog depicts my own heartdog, Tess. What very often happens with rescue is that not only is the dog "rescued" but the adopter is "rescued" as well. This is what happened to me when I adopted Tess from Glen Highland Farm. My heartdog found me and has given me more love and joy than I could ever have dreamed possible. With the deepest gratitude the rescue that I am supporting is Glen Highland Farm. GHF is a 175 acre nature sanctuary in upstate New York that was created to protect animals from cruel and inhumane situations and to foster and promote the positive principles of nonviolence between children and their environment through the human/ animal/nature relationship. Throughout the year, GHF operates a proactive rescue and adoption program for homeless, unwanted & abandoned border collies and border collie mixes. These dogs are frequently victims of neglect and abuse. At GHF, they are evaluated, spayed/neutered, treated medically where necessary, rehabilitated socially and eventually placed into new homes. GHF will save 200 dogs every year.GHF has created a unique summer camp program for inner city children that unites the rescue border collies with the children in an integrated work, study, and play program that teaches the children positive, loving and humane methods of basic animal care and training.
