Southland Sheltie Rescue - La Habra Pet Shelter

Southland Sheltie Rescue

Southland Sheltie Rescue, Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit public benefit corporation. Our mission is to rescue, promote and protect the health and welfare of Shetland Sheepdogs (Shelties) in the Southern California area. Originated by the Tri Valley Shetland Sheepdog Club, SSRI is comprised of caring volunteers who give their time, abilities, love and homes to help place Shelties where they will be well cared for and loved. We formed SSRI to combat the overpopulation of Shelties - ADOPT, don't shop! - with our primary goal being to protect Shelties that are already here while preventing further over-breeding. We are happy to help educate Sheltie owners whenever we can and we strive tirelessly to place all homeless Shelties into the best possible permanent loving homes.

Adoption Process

Once your Application has been completed and submitted, an SSRI volunteer will call you to conduct a phone interview to learn more about you, your lifestyle and what you are looking for in a fur companion. Following that, a home visit will be set up (this is required). Once a possible match is available, a volunteer or rescue coordinator will contact you to determine fit. If a fit seems likely, the foster family will work with you to set up a time and place for you and your family to meet the Sheltie. Keep in mind that Shelties are often reserved with strangers, and until you and your new dog have created a bond, it may be somewhat distant. A good way to decide if you like the dog's personality is to watch how he/she interacts with their foster family. This is a good indication of how the Sheltie will act with you, once he/she has "adopted" you!
