Tributes to Shelties Past
|
Chelsea is an attractive 10 year old tri female sheltie that was
turned over to our rescue on January 6. The owner was
“downsizing” and unable to keep Chelsea and another
sheltie. Chelsea is a happy and social girl. Despite her age
she still displays periodic signs of wanting to play. She has
been fine with everybody that meets her. She reportedly
gets along best with smaller dogs and other dogs that won’t
overwhelm her. She is used to living with cats and is fine
with them. She has been fine with older children. She is
good on a leash. Chelsea is house trained.
Chelsea is a little overweight and is apparently developing
some arthritis which has given her a slight limp. She is
spayed, current on shots, and micro chipped.

Hi there, my name is Bailey and I am a rescued Sheltie in need of
a good home. While my foster parents would love to keep me
for themselves, it would be best if they found a permanent home
for me so they could foster my other Sheltie friends in need.
I am a 9 year old male, but young at heart. I would love a home
that has a relaxed atmosphere and like being the only dog so I
can be the center of attention. I do okay with gentle kids but
don’t like to be sneaked up on since I’m hard of hearing and it
startles me. I don’t bark much at all. I don’t have a lot of energy
like some of my younger Sheltie friends, but enjoy short walks
and light exercise. I’m also completely housebroken. If you or
someone you know likes cozy nights indoors and shorts walks
through the park, feel free to contact the sheltie rescue group
to see if we are a match. I am ready to give my spot to another
sheltie in need.

Albert is an approximately 8 year old sable male. He got his name
after he was caught in an Albertson’s grocery store. His foster dad
reports that he is a great dog. They give him complete freedom in
the house. He is house trained and now knows how to use the
doggie door. He gets along well with the foster family Schnauzer
although it mainly is just peaceful coexistence. He just loves to go
on walks … just let him see you put on your shoes and socks and he
goes crazy in anticipation. He has been groomed and is absolutely
beautiful. He is a complete “shadow” and follows you everywhere,
cuddling at your feet for as much love as he can get. He is an angel,
staying off the furniture and never destroying anything; and he loves
to ride in the car … the perfect docile passenger. We don’t know
how he is with kids, and would probably recommend a home with
older adults who are home and can give him the attention he
deserves. In short, he’s a super companion. He doesn’t answer to
his name yet, and he may be a bit hard of hearing. He can get excited
and tends to currently bark whenever strangers come in the house
or he sees them in the yard. He never barks for no reason and he’ll
stop barking if put on a leash and led around.
Albert is microchipped, current on his vaccinations, and will be
neutered and receive a dental prior to adoption. He also will have a
very small tumor on his eyelid removed prior to adoption.

Hoss is an oversized (about 32 pounds) and handsome sable
sheltie. We think he is about three years old. Little Joe is a
petite and handsome sable sheltie. We think he is about three
years old. Hoss and Little Joe, were strays, found together and
turned over to our rescue. They are a loving, bonded pair of
shelties who do everything together and would like a new home
together. In the picture Hoss is the larger of the two and Little
Joe is the little guy. Both are happy, friendly, playful boys that
are good with people, dogs, and cats. We think that they would
be good with kids. Both are sweet and fun and have shown no
aggression even around food and toys. Both are housetrained
and learning about crate training. While generally well
behaved, they will chew up reachable paper products if left
alone uncrated. They are both neutered, up to date on their
vaccinations and microchipped.
Hoss and Little Joe would make a great pair of shelties for a nice
family.

Keegan is a 2 year old blue merle Sheltie that is a bit over
sized (30 lbs.) but he is neutered, microchipped, doggy-
door trained & up to date on shots. He also walks well on
a leash, good with most dogs and we have found he is
good with cats also. He was turned in by his owner for
destructive behavior and they did not have the time to
work with him. Keegan was born deaf, but he is very
outgoing and attentive. He is currently learning hand
signals and doing very well! He is very people oriented &
wants to be where ever his foster family, we have learned
though that he suffers from seperation anxiety and we are
working on that.
Keegan will probably do best in a home that has another
canine to help alert him since he cannot hear and would
do well with older children. Due to Keegan’s deafness he
might require a little more attention than the average dog,
but the love you receive in return will be well worth it!

MacGregor is a 6 year old Sable
|
MacGregor is a handsome and approximately six year old sable
male sheltie. He was recently turned over to our program by
his owner who could no longer afford him. He has been a well-
behaved lad in his foster home and we think he will adjust to
any relatively quieter household. Although his current foster
home has quite a few other foster dogs he has not really shown
any interest in them and we think he would prefer to be an only
dog or maybe live in a one other dog household. We think he
would be fine living with a cat. He doesn’t have a lot of history
with kids but he would probably be fine with older kids.
Basically, a family that will love on him like his prior owner and
current foster home. He has a medium activity level and likes
to go for walks and be a part of family activity. MacGregor is
house-trained and will use a dog door. He is probably an
average barker. He is a little on the larger side for a sheltie.
MacGregor is neutered, current on shots, and microchipped.
He has no known health issues.

If you are interested in adopting a Sheltie and don't see what you're looking
for, please apply anyway. There are dogs in foster care that are not on the
website and may be the right one for you!!!!
