UPDATE 1/29/03 on the Montana Collies

Statement by AWCA President Jean Levitt, from Shelby, MT

*Permission to crosspost*

Folks, the animals are still in the care and custody of the Toole County Sheriff’s Office.  AWCA Collie Rescue continues to provide funds for their medical needs, supplies, and volunteers.  Nothing has changed regarding the status of the animals.  The prosecutor, county attorney Merle Raph, will decide within a few days whether or not to continue on with the prosecution of this case.

We visited Camp Collie again today to determine what supplies are needed, and to arrange for more volunteers.  AWCA volunteers from the Mid-West arrive Monday for two weeks, and the “Collie Trolley” from Helena MT will bring AWCA member Thea Sperline, collie hugger extraordinaire with members of the Helena Kennel Club to help at Camp Collie.

Don’t worry,

Calmly,

Jean Levitt, President AWCA

Lisa King, AWCA Director AWCA Rescue
