Indiana Sheltie Rescue

  Indiana Sheltie Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation consisting of a small group of volunteers who have come together to help homeless shelties. We are always looking for additional volunteers, and capable and loving foster homes to offer a temporary safe haven to Shetland Sheepdogs. Our shelties make their way into our program as owner surrenders, shelter dogs, or are found as strays by caring individuals. For more information about our organization, please look here.

We do not have a shelter facility. The dogs are all in private foster homes. Primarily adoptions are arranged by the applicant completing an adoption application which can be found on this website. After we receive and review the application the applicant will be contacted to arrange a home visit. Please be aware that due to geographical location we may not be able to process all applications. For the most part we only are able to work within Indiana and there are parts of Indiana we do not have a volunteer near enough to in order to arrange a home visit. Following the home visit and approval of the application arrangements will be made for the applicant to meet the sheltie(s) that may be appropriate for them to adopt. Some of the shelties may be located closer to the applicant than others. Sometimes we have some of the shelties at public events for an interested person to meet prior to making an application but otherwise we do not ask foster homes to host people in their homes that have not completed the adoption application process. No applicant is obligated to adopt by placing an application but it is the primary way we and most rescue groups arrange adoptions.

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED

HELP!! We have such wonderful shelties in our program that many have been adopted by our own foster homes! Indeed this is great news but because of this, most homes cannot foster any more. As a result we are in dire need of new foster homes. If you can help, click here for additional information on how to get started.

 




If you witness or suspect that dog fighting or animal abuse of any nature is going on near you, PLEASE call the Central Indiana Canine Crime Stoppers hotline at 317-262-TIPS. You can make the call anonymously and, if there is a felony arrest, you may receive up to a $1,000 reward. 


Thank you for visiting!
