Second Chance Sheltie Rescue, Inc is a 501c3 all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and placement of abandoned and unwanted purebred Shelties.
Submit an Application to Adopt. Then, please have patience- we are an all-volunteer organization. We also have lives, jobs, dogs and families, too; not to mention procedures within our group to follow. We will get to you just as soon as possible - usually within 2-5 days. Your application will be reviewed and you will receive a phone call from one of our volunteers. During the phone call we will learn more about what you are looking for in a companion for your family, and can answer any of your questions. This information will be shared with our Placement Director and kept on file. If we do not feel that a Sheltie would be the best breed of dog for you, we will let you know at that time. If we feel that a rescue dog would not be the best option for you, we will let you know that as well. When the Placement Director identifies a dog that would best match your lifestyle and physical requirements, you will be contacted to schedule an appointment to visit with the prospective dog in their foster home. All family members attend the visit. You are not required to adopt the dog you visit. This visit is a compatibility check to see if you feel that particular dog is the right one for you, and for us to assess whether we feel the dog is a good match for your family. We do not do an adoption during the visit. If we feel the dog is a good match for your family, and if you want to adopt the dog, the next step is a home visit by a volunteer in the applicant's area. The purpose of the home visit is to verify that you are who you say you are, have a secure fence, and to identify any potential safety hazards in your home or yard that may need attention before an adoption is completed. Once the home visit is complete, then the Placement Director will arrange for a date and time for the final adoption. A volunteer will bring the Sheltie to the applicant(s) home to help the dog get settled. At this time the adoption contract is signed and the donation is collected. Information is provided as to how to help your Sheltie adjust with minimal disruption, along with basic care and grooming procedures. Any additional questions the new family may have are answered. The President makes the final decision on all adoptions. Adoption fees: $250 for adult dogs, $350 for puppies under 16 weeks, senior dogs $50-$150 depending on age
