It can easily happen....they slip out when you open the door.... something spooks them and they slip their collar....a neighborhood kid or repairman leaves a gate open.....it happens to even the best owners.  Unfortunately, because of their nature, Shelties that are lost often become scared and will even run and hide from those they have known for years.  This booklet can be a lifesaver.  Find out what types of areas a frightened Sheltie will seek out, how to get the word out about your lost dog, how to catch the dog once you know where it
is, and more.  No owner should be without this booklet!
