Adopt a Sheltie
Jessie: NJ Sheltie Rescue
Check out this cutie pie who is up for adoption! Jessie is a six year old tiny guy at 12" and 20 pounds. His coat is a dark shaded sable. Jessie's original owners were in the military and couldn't take him when they moved, so he was given to a friend. Sadly, that person moved also, leaving Jessie with an ex-girlfriend. She really wasn't able to handle a dog - especially one that was basically dumped on her. Thankfully, she contacted Sheltie Rescue. His foster mom reports that he has a happy little face and is always smiling. Considering how [...]
Adoption Success: Sugar
Remember Sugar, the Sheltie we featured on August 11th? She has been adopted! We got a wonderful note from Lisa Scalf of East Kentucky Rescue telling us that a nice family saw her on Sheltie Nation & went to adopt her. We love happy endings! Sugar looks a lot happier in this photo & we are confident she will thrive in her new home. How do we know? She already has her own blog!...check it out, it's called Sugar's New Forever Home. Lisa, thanks for all you do for needy Shelties!
Brando: Eastern Kentucky Rescue
Meet this handsome man, Brando. He's not been groomed in this picture yet, but he's still beautiful...and look at that smile! This awesome dog deserves a better life than what he's had. It's absolutely shameful that this beautiful dog was dumped because he cried to come inside to be with his family. That action alone describes the kind of life he's had...one without love. He will make some lucky family a wonderful friend and family member. Brando is 8-10 years old, already house trained & knows commands and tricks! You can see a video of him at www.found.petfinder.orgBrando is up [...]
Sugar: East Kentucky Rescue
This beautiful little girl is Sugar. Apparently, her family could no longer keep her because of a new baby. Sugar has been taken away from the only family she's ever known, and she's having a hard time. Sugar is heartbroken. :( Sugar is 8-10 years old, good with cats, already house trained. She knows commands and is the perfect little lady. Sugar is up to date with routine shots & has been altered. She is very shy around strangers (as many rescue Shelties are). She may nip at small children, so no little kids please. Will you be that Sheltie [...]
Ever considered adopting a Sheltie?
This is our second installment in our new category called "Adopt a Sheltie" & will be featuring Shelties that are available for adoption from various rescue groups. Maine - Kennebec Valley Shetland Sheepdog Club Rescue Buster is a young Sheltie who was purchased from a pet store by his family. They then realized that they were unable to handle an energetic, unsocialized young Sheltie & turned him over to rescue. Since Buster was not socialized as a young pup, he is afraid of strangers and new experiences. He will need to go to an understanding home, preferably one that is [...]
