Life changes. Sometimes, despite your best intentions, keeping your Sheltie is no longer possible. Whether it's a move, a health issue, a new baby, or a change ir circumstances - you are not alone, and reaching out is the kindest thing you care for your dog.
We will never judge you. We will always put your dog first.
Confidential & Compassionate.
Your situation stays private. We handle every surrender with care, dignity, and zero judgment.
We Find the Right Home
Your dog goes into a loving foster home while we carefully screen adopters - never a shelter kennel.
You Stay Informed
We keep you updated on your dog's journey Many owners stay in touch with the adopting family.
ATTENTION SHELTERS. ANIMAL CONTROL & RESCUES
We Take Every Sheltie. No Exceptions.
Municipal shelters often receive Shelties labeled as "problem dogs" - anxious, reactive, shut down, or difficult to handle. We don't care. We have seen it all. and we will take them anyway. We also welcome ransfers from other rescues and shelters that are at capacity or need breed-
specific support. No Sheltie should lose their life because there is nowhere to turn.
Behavior issues, medical needs, age, or rescue transfers -- email us today.

Our mission is to find loving homes for Shelties, Collies, Old English Sheepdogs and other small herding breeds that have become homeless through no fault of their own.
