Please note that Nebraska Sheltie Rescue requires that a placement home has a completely fenced yard in order to be considered. There are too many horrible stories about dogs getting out and having bad things happen. (For more on NSR's fence policy, see here.)
Meet Nash!
Hi, I'm Nash! I'm a really good boy. I love people. I love dogs. I love kids. I love just about everything! You know what I don't love? CATS! Stupid stupid cats. There were several in my old house, and I tried to get rid of the little screachy things. I even caught and tackled a couple of them! And you know what I got for my trouble? EVICTED! Can you believe that? HOW RUDE! So now I'm living in this awesome foster home with a bunch of dogs who really like me. A couple of them are floof balls like me! So now I'm just hanging out here waiting for my furever home. I need a place with a nice fenced yard. I would really love that. Oh, and NO CATS!

Fill out the online application and let the NSR people know you are interested in me!
Adoption Application
If you are interested in adopting one of our Shelties—either an available one or one that may come in the future—please fill out our online application form. If you are interested in a particular dog, there is a place to enter the doggie's name. If you are interested in being considered for any of our dogs—either ones we don't have yet or because one you are interested in is no longer available—fill out an application anyway. We will try to let you know when new dogs that match your interest become available.
Adoption Contract
When people adopt a dog from Nebraska Sheltie Rescue, they are asked to sign our adoption contract. This is so we can feel comfortable that our dogs will be going to good homes, be safe, and treated well.
Even if you are not ready to adopt a dog yet, you can view this contract to find out and decide if this is something you are willing to do. (To be honest, if you really care about doggies, none of this will come as a surprise.)
