If you want to inquire about a specific SHELTIE waiting to be matched with a perfect forever family of their own, please fill out our on-lineADOPTION APPLICATION .
PROCESS OF ADOPTION:
After we have had time to review your application and check references, we will be back in touch with you. This is a totally volunteer organization; therefore please allow at least 48 hours for us to get back with you. If at that time you have NOT gotten a reply, please e-mail us as your application may not have arrived. (ALL APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED, WHETHER APPROVED OR NOT.)
After your submitted application has been processed, references checked and approved, a HOME VISIT will be scheduled after which time arrangements will then be discussed regarding meeting your potential new family member.
Adoption fees range from $150-$275, based on the age/adoptability of each specific dog. HOWEVER, please inquire about our SENIOR SANCTUARY PROGRAM if you are open to adopting a dog in double digit years. We believe these SPECIAL individuals and families deserve even more consideration/support and we make every effort to make these adoptions a WIN WIN for both our DOG and POTENTIAL FAMILY.

Rosie appears to be a quiet sweet, calm and quiet sable merle (one blue eye), 2 1/2 year old female sheltie that was allowed to have a litter of puppies 4-5 months ago and now, rather than getting her spayed with the money her family made selling her puppies, they decided to just get rid of her. What a shame, she really is a very sweet sheltie and I'm sure she's wondering what she done to deserve this treatment. Unlike most shelties, she's not a high energy girl and would make a wonderful addition to a sheltie loving home that would prefer a little less yap (just being honest). Rosie now slowly comes up to me and even puts her paws on my leg for attention or to request being picked up to be cuddled. All she's missing is a trustworthy family to call her own.
