We area small group of dedicated volunteers in the East Tennessee area that find loving, safe homes for displaced Shelties. When a Sheltie comes into our rescue he/she is placed in a foster home. While there, the physical needs, personal characteristics, and emotional stability of the dog is assessed. The dog is brought current on all vaccines, spayed or neutered, microchipped, groomed and and illness or issue is corrected. Foster parents work on any training that’s needed such as basic obedience and manners, crate training, socialization, and housebreaking. To help insure good matches, all adoptions include a two week introduction period. If for any reason during that time you decide a good match has not been made, the dog is to be returned to us and your adoption fee will be returned. Sheltie Rescue of East Tennessee, Inc is an affiliate of the National Sheltie Rescue Association.
