Hey folks. A little help here, please. We have a lost and frightened black and white border collie last seen in the Gold Hill area who needs to get back to her new home.
Sally is a 1-year-old female with a white blaze between her eyes. She went missing over a week ago from her new home with Norm Jones in the Foots Creek area.
The scared little girl didn’t come from the best of circumstances. Norm had just rescued her the very day she was lost.
“I’d only had her home for about a half hour,” Norm said. “I was walking her around the yard and her tail was just starting to wag.”
But the pair hadn’t had near enough time to bond. Sally panicked in her strange new surroundings a few minutes later, wiggled out of her collar and bolted out the door.
Sally has lived most of her life in a pen, is fearful of strangers and is not likely to come when called. She does know one command, “That’ll do,” which might work, says Norm.
Norm has put up flyers at the Foots Creek Deli, called the Jackson County animal shelter and posted an add on Craigslist. He’s heard about sightings. But no luck yet getting her back.
Regular readers will know this story tugs at my heart. I rescued my sainted Twirley Jane in similar circumstances. We shared 15 wonderful years together before she passed last year. Norm is also a long-time fan of the breed. Sally will hopefully fill the void in his heart after the passing of his border collie, if we can get her back.
There have been several Sally sightings in the Gold Hill area. If you see her, please don’t spook her into bolting further. Please give Norm a call at 541-531-2576.
