See more pictures of Nate from the Dog Olympics.

My husband and I adopted Nate through Triangle Sheltie Rescue last September, and he's brought so much joy to our lives. He was a year old in January, and he was given up because the family he was with was transferred to England and didn't want to put him in quarantine for six months. He's a big goofy Sheltie who's never too tired to run around or play with a ball. We took Nate to his first flyball tournament last weekend, and he had a blast playing with the other dogs on his team and practicing running the course. He's the sweetest dog I've ever met ... he loves and trusts everyone. I'm hoping that he'll become a therapy dog some day because he has so much love to share with the world. We're so grateful to Sheltie Rescue for bringing Nate into our lives!! -- Holly Schmidt-Davis
