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 Barley One!
Hi my name is Barley! Barley ONE! Don't confuse me with my foster brother Barley TWO! How funny that there are two Barley's at the same time! I love people, kids, cats, kittens, pretty much anything. I am a lovely tempered dog. I do have some skin problems though, which we are trying to figure out. I get cysts that sometimes need to be removed, and my legs get super itchy. I lick them and lick them until they get sore and raw. I spend a lot of time in a cone. In fact, I'm kind of used to being in a cone. I just ram things around with my cone and knock them over. My foster family bought me a sling thingy that covers my leg. It's the best invention ever! I love them so much! I also need a dental before I am adopted. We are working on things, but if people want to meet me, that can happen. Because I am friendly!

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