2026 Annual Meeting – October 17, 2026
Come for the dogs… stay for the people, the stories, and a great lunch. 🐾
You’re warmly invited to our dog-friendly 2026 Annual Meeting—a chance to reconnect, learn, and celebrate everything that makes New England Old English Sheepdog rescue so special. Hear what we’ve been up to, what’s ahead, and spend time with fellow OES lovers (and the sheepies who make it all worthwhile!). Uprights, OES, and OES wannabes are all welcome.
Date: October 17, 2026
Time: The fun begins at 9:30 AM
Location: Publick House Historic Inn, 277 Main St, Sturbridge, MA 01566
Speaker: Dr. Lindsey Cloutier, DMV, ACVB – Massachusetts Veterinary Behavior.
Dr. Cloutier will share insights on common behavioral challenges in rescue dogs, including those from puppy mills or with limited socialization, along with practical strategies to help them thrive. Have a question you’d love answered? Send it in ahead of time!
Silent Auction: Don’t miss our silent auction featuring some wonderful OES-themed items—you might just find something special to take home.
Planning to attend? While sign-up isn’t required, we’d love a rough headcount. Feel free to register in advance—or simply come as you are!
Lunch: $20 per person (pay online when you sign up, or at the door via cash or check). Vegetarian and vegan options will be available.
We hope you’ll join us for a day of connection, learning, and plenty of sheepie smiles!
