Rescue FAQs

We focus on local adoptions to families near Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN and Fargo, ND, as this is where our volunteers are located, and a home visit to your home is part of the approval process. We encourage everyone outside of these areas to look for a local shelter or rescue group from which to adopt: http://www.nationalsheltierescue.org/RosterByState.php.
Please keep in mind that if you apply to adopt a Sheltie and your application is approved, you will be asked to travel to the foster home(s) to meet the dog(s) prior to an adoption.

Additional adoption info

Please read our Frequently Asked Questions at FAQ prior to calling or emailing us, as this may answer your questions.

If you are interested in adopting a Sheltie, please submit an application prior to requesting a meeting with one of the dogs in our program. All of our Shelties reside in foster homes. We will contact your references and visit with you at your home. Our process helps us to know which of the Shelties in our program may be a good match for your family, your home set-up and your lifestyle. Upon adoption, the contract is signed.

In most cases, a secure wood, vinyl, or chain link fence, with secure gates and no gaps, and with direct access from the house is required for the dogs in our program. Shelties are a high flight risk, and many of the dogs we take into our program may be shy. When we have a Sheltie in our program that can go to a home without a fence, it will be noted in the dog's bio. For ALL the dogs in our program, our adoption contract requires that the dog will ALWAYS be on a leash whenever the dog is not in a securely fenced area.

Our adoption fees are based on the Sheltie's age: $450 for dogs 0-3 years, $350 for dogs 4-8 years, $250.00 for dogs 9 & older. All our Shelties are altered and appropriate vet care is provided while they are in foster care. Our veterinary expenses generally exceed the adoption fee. Donations are always appreciated!
