Measured by years, Hope Cotton’s life was not a long one. But the emotional impact she had on those who met her was enormous. Hope was one of multiple puppies taken by animal control in a seizure from an Indianapolis pet store. In her first months of life, she overcame serious pneumonia and survived heart surgery. Hope became a wonderful pet and companion and had earned two legs toward her first AKC agility title and one toward her first USDAA agility title.

When Hope died of a sudden illness at age 27 months on January 24, 2005, the friends of Teresa Cotton wanted to do something to insure that Hope would always be remembered.

We decided to establish “Hope’s Fund” in her honor. This will be an ongoing fund at Indiana Sheltie Rescue, and all donations will be used to provide medical care to the homeless Shelties currently in our care.

Payment can be made with a Visa or MasterCard (secure with PayPal by pressing the button below), or send a check in Hope’s honor to either address below, made payable to Indiana Sheltie Rescue:

Thank you for helping us to remember Hope in this very special way.
