Meet Juno!

Hi! I was born in a puppy mill in MO. My family and friends were rescued by several groups of nice people, and I ended up traveling to Nebraska with the NSR group. They named me Juno! It was pretty scary at first, being put in a car and traveling so far away from everything I'd ever known. But once we got to my foster home, I discovered air conditioning! And soft bedding! And toys! And plenty of food! And they clean up after me when I potty! The grown up dogs who went with me were a lot more suspicious than me, but I settled in pretty fast. This is the good life! Even the vet wasn't so bad.

My foster family says I'm like the Little Mermaid. I want to be where the people are! I don't mind being in my crate, but I want to be able to see my people. I also love being petted by my people, cuddling with my people, watching TV with my people. You get the idea! I'm still a puppy, so I would love to have another dog to play with and to teach me how to be a dog.

They say I am too young to be spayed, whatever that means, so I will be adopted with a spay contract.

Fill out the online application and let the NSR people know you are interested in me!


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.)

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.)
