Second Chance Sheltie Rescue, Inc. is an non-profit volunteer organization that helps unwanted or abandoned Shelties.  Second Chance Sheltie Rescue does not have a shelter for the public to visit - all dog visit activity must be scheduled in advance. All Shelties are given necessary veterinary care, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and their temperament evaluated. All adoptive homes are carefully interviewed to ensure the best possible match between Sheltie and family.  A securely fenced yard is a requirement to adopt.  Invisible fences are not considered "secure" fencing.  Tie-outs will not be accepted as alternatives to fencing.  Review the adoption application process prior to starting an adoption application form.

 

If you have a Sheltie needing to be placed immediately with a rescue, please contact one of the organizations below.  If you are able to keep your pet until you find a loving home, please contact our coordinator in charge of Our Other Dogs Available listings (courtesylisting@sheltie4me.com) to be considered for a courtesy posting on our website.  Your Sheltie must be spayed/neutered to be considered for posting on our website.
