HALLIE was the last puppy from the pa group to find her place and that she did - with two of our board members who recently adopted Bradley and another Border Collie from the farm, Cassie, last year. Little Hallie had her mind set on living with them when she met them one day at our Board Meeting so she she started communicating to her new guardians, one of which is a reknown animal communicator. Through some interesting emails back and forth between animal communicators, everything became crystal clear that Hallie wanted to live and work at Spring Farm Cares, helping with the sanctuary work. She knew exactly who she wanted to be with and so, as the story goes, the rest is history. She now lives in upstate NY - her wish came true! And, she says she plans to be involved in work at Glen Highland Farm so stay tuned for more from Hallie!!
