Throughout the week, new

NEW regularly - features will include |
| We are pleased to welcome our new
Canine Caretaker, Courtney Morrow!
She brings her wonderful enthusiasm and deep knowledge and experience of Border Collies to this important role. Courtney has four years work history as a Veterinary Technician which will be invaluable in caring for the high volume of dogs that come into rescue. Equally as important, she has been doing rescue herself for the last three years, founding Bayou Border Collie Rescue in Baton Rouge, LA., fostering dogs herself; overseeing other fosterers and handling adoptions. Her love for this breed and medical skill set are a perfect combination! |

| Candidates came from Wisconsin, New York City, Massachusetts, Florida, New Hampshire and California but Courtney's genuine caring nature and optimistic personality were exactly what we wanted at Glen Highland Farm. We are thrilled she will be joining us this summer. | |

the nutritional protocol at the Farm
The recent recall of Nutro canned food has led us to a decision we have contemplated for years...upgrading the quality of dog food we use in rescue. Our family dogs and any rescue dogs with special health issues have always been fed Solid Gold for years and years. We believe it is one of the top three dog foods available today and always recommend it to adopters. However, we wanted THE best quality, closest to a raw diet without fillers or grain so we now feed Innova Adult. This food is outstanding and we can see the results in the dogs, as well as a reduction in allergic reactions. A big effort in fundraising will be needed to cover this additional cost but we feel it is necessary and frankly, we are pleased that all the dogs will benefit from this incredible food. All rescue dogs at the Farm are now fed Innova Adult dry with some Innova Adult canned food. We also include one scoop of NuproJoint Supplement, an outstanding vitamin supplement with glucosamine and msm for joints and we use Pro-Biotics for dogs being given any medication in order to restore the natural balance to their system. The majority of our family dogs are on Innova Adult and the Nupro supplement, too. We do feel that the continued push for good health and cancer prevention through providing great nutrition, makes complete sense. We encourage you to consider upgrading your dog food choice.
