Some NEWS on Sheltie Rescue – The BIG PICTURE
LISSR is a proud and honored to be a member of the National Sheltie Rescue Association (NSRA) and we encourage you to follow the NSRA to check out what makes Sheltie Rescue the very BEST on a national level.
Home Visit Guidelines
Home visits are required for all adoptions. It is just one more way we try to ensure a good match with rescued shelties. We don't expect perfect homes, but we need to be sure the dogs will be safe and well cared for.
A note from Chance
I'm so grateful that those nice people came and got me from the cold, outside place. I love my new life!!
Hello from Chelsea
My name is Chelsea and I am sitting here enjoying my nice warm house as a blizzard rages outside, so I thought I would put some thoughts down to my fellow shelties.
Sheltie Personality
In general, Shelties make great family pets. They can be very active and playful, and they can be just as happy sleeping at your feet when you are busy with other things.
Shaving a Sheltie
Often, people think a long haired dog should be shaved during warm weather. While on one level that may seem logical, but in reality, it is not wise to do so with a Sheltie. The Sheltie coat not only acts as protection against cold in the winter, it serves the same purpose in the summer, protecting the Sheltie from the heat.
