Please note that Nebraska Sheltie Rescue requires that a placement home has a completely fenced yard in order to be considered. There are too many horrible stories about dogs getting out and having bad things happen. (For more on NSR's fence policy, see here.)
Meet Maizy!
Hi I'm Maizy! My hoomans had to move, and they could not take me with them. While that made me very sad, I have adjusted well to my foster home. I have attached myself to my foster mom and follow her everywhere! If she's not around, I will follow someone else. I am a people dog! I love hoomans more than I love other dogs. I might be happier as an only dog. I tolerate the other dogs here, though I do get snippy sometimes if they are in my face, or if we go for the same resource.
One thing about me you need to know... I need to lose a lot of weight! I would much rather just lay down and be a couch potato and watch TV with you all day. But... If my favorite person wants to go for a slow walk, I'll go too. I need to lose about TWENTY pounds. That's a lot. But I can do it with help!
I will be ready to go to a new home as soon as I am spayed and recover from that.

Fill out the online application and let the NSR people know you are interested in me!
Adoption Application
If you are interested in adopting one of our Shelties—either an available one or one that may come in the future—please fill out our online application form. If you are interested in a particular dog, there is a place to enter the doggie's name. If you are interested in being considered for any of our dogs—either ones we don't have yet or because one you are interested in is no longer available—fill out an application anyway. We will try to let you know when new dogs that match your interest become available.
Adoption Contract
When people adopt a dog from Nebraska Sheltie Rescue, they are asked to sign our adoption contract. This is so we can feel comfortable that our dogs will be going to good homes, be safe, and treated well.
Even if you are not ready to adopt a dog yet, you can view this contract to find out and decide if this is something you are willing to do. (To be honest, if you really care about doggies, none of this will come as a surprise.)
