My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Athena is a beautiful sable merle Sheltie who was saved from puppy mill. She has been in foster care for several months now learning how to trust humans and to be a pet. She is very shy and does not like to be approached. But she will come up for pets and snacks! Athena likes to play with other dogs, but unfortunately, she is also extremely resource protective. She should be an only dog. We are looking for someone within a 2 hour radius of the Omaha area to adopt Athena. Please note that a fence is required.

More about this rescue

We are Nebraska Sheltie Rescue. We've been in business for three years. Our focus is on Shelties because we love the breed. We have occasionally taken in a dog of another breed. We are not a shelter or facility. Our dogs are all housed in foster homes while they wait for their fur-ever homes!
