Alex and Oliver are two sweet brother who are a bonded pair. That means we will NOT split them up. They must be adopted TOGETHER! Alex and Oliver came into rescue because their family had to move into an apartment. They could not take this adorable duo with them.
Alex is outgoing and likes to investigate people and things. He can get into trouble and ESCAPE if given the opportunity! He is 6 years old.
Oliver hangs back a bit. He is a bit shyer, but if he sees that his brother likes people, he will follow along.
They both like to cuddle on the couch. They both like to go for walks. They both need to LOSE WEIGHT! The vet office LOVES them, and they are sad when we pick them up! These boys are an adorable duo. So sweet. Their previous owner was heartbroken at having to surrender them, and we sure understand why. Their foster home would love to foster fail if they weren't already at their pet limit!

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.)
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.
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.)
