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 Trucker!
Hi, I'm Trucker! I am 9 years old, and I have been used to breed my whole life. I am done being a service dog and want to retire to a nice family. I am a very sweet dog and just want snuggles and scratches now. I have terrible teeth and will need all of my teeth extracted because I have had no dental care. I'm sure I will like soft food though. I do get along with other dogs well, as long as they aren't aggressive. I can be pretty timid. I will also need to be neutered before I go to my forever home. But the vet said I should have my dental first. I am in a lot of pain because of my teeth.

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.)
