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 Sparticus!
Hi all. I'm Sparticus. (No, I didn't free my fellow gladiators in Rome and start a revolution, but it's a cool name though, right?)
I've been with my current dog mom for a long time but she can't take care of me and my sister anymore. That's a bummer. But I really love being with all sorts of people so I'm sure I'll enjoy finding someone new to spend my life with.
I get along with all sorts of things. Even cats and those little humans. (There's a picture around here somewhere of my laying my head on my friend cat at home.) While I like my sister, she gets kind of annoying to me at times. But I can get a long with other dogs. I've been living with her for her whole life.
Anyway, I hope to meet you and get some scrutches. Maybe we can be pals, OK?

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.)
