How You Can Help Us Help the Shelties

Volunteer Opportunities

As of March 2008, the volunteers of Indiana Sheltie Rescue, Inc. have accepted 446 homeless Shetland Sheepdogs into our program. If you love Shelties and would like to join us in their rescue, here are just some of the ways you can help:

  • Foster a Sheltie in your home (click here for more information about fostering)
  • Pick-up or transport a Sheltie
  • Make pre-adoption home visits
  • Check local shelters for Shelties and establish a trusting relationship with shelter personnel
  • Identify a Sheltie as a purebred
  • Fundraising - create or suggest items to offer for sale on our website, help with marketing, etc.
  • Spread the word - publicity make our program grow. Pass out our pamphlets to animal hospitals, groomers, and shelters in your area.
  • Help with events listed on our "Upcoming Events" page.

    • To find out more about volunteering, complete the Volunteer Questionnaire or Contact Us. We will be happy to discuss our program and the various volunteer opportunities with you.

    We have several volunteer positions in need of filling.

    Public Relations Volunteer This volunteer would be someone able to contact new volunteers and welcome them to ISR so that they feel comfortable. They will need to answer questions, explain guidelines, etc. This person would also help keep us in contact with shelters - both old contacts and new contacts and work at keeping relationships fresh with overturned staffing at shelters.
    Follow-Ups Volunteer This volunteer would assist in keeping up with adoptions (usually by phone) to both newly adopted shelties and those adopted for a long while. Follow up volunteer would gather info on adoptions and forward these reports to Teresa. Any problems with the adoption need to be reported to Teresa but not make recommendations until a discussion with Teresa and foster home took place.
    Public Events Preliminary Planner This volunteer would assist Teresa in deciding what events ISR should participate in based on volunteer availability and dates and locations etc.
