This painting titled A Matter of Trust elicited a strong response in me. It depicts what I wish for every Border Collie a loving, forever home. Border Collies are among one of the most misunderstood breed of dogs and very often find themselves being rehomed (or worse) because that cute, fluffy puppy turns into a high intensity dog. 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.
