#1 reason Shelties go missing over a holiday: “bolted out an open door.” Restrict your Sheltie’s access to doors opening as family & friends arrive and leave by using one of these examples to the right. Prevent door darting by using crates & gates. Keep your Sheltie safe.

A brown and white Sheltie dog and a grey and white cat are in a black wire dog crate; a brown, black and white Sheltie and a sable and white Sheltie are behind a white baby gate; 3 Sheltie dogs sit behind a wire gate; a white door gate is anchored to the wall on two sides and surrounds the front door.

Porch pirates are on the prowl this holiday season, and I can’t help but suspect the Banana King and his henchmen are up to their usual tricks. Keep an eye on your deliveries, Duluth—justice doesn’t take a holiday. 🍌🕵️‍♂️ #HolidaySafety #BananaBandits #PorchPiratesBeware @spunkybucket.bsky.social 👀
