Hi, my name is Holly, and I am lost. Many nice people have been trying to find my family, but to no avail. So I am now going to be adopted. And so many people have already expressed interest in me! That makes me very happy! The vet says I am about 2 years old. My teeth are in good condition. I wasn't spayed, whatever that means, so I had to have this operation and now I'm wearing this thing around my neck and I'm in pain. What a bother! I am otherwise a healthy dog it seems!
I am a bit timid in new situations. I mean... A LOT of crazy stuff has happened to me in the last month. Can you blame me? I am NOT a fan of car rides. They make me sick. In fact if I think I have to go in a car I will try to get away from you!
I LOVE my foster home and my foster canine siblings. I get along well with other dogs. Even big ones. And I REALLY LOVE human puppies. Give me a human puppy to chase after and snuggle up to and I am in Heaven!
I have accepted that my people are lost for good, and it's time to move on to the next chapter of my life.

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.)
