Let’s improve the quality of life for Shelties.

Long Island Shetland Sheepdog Rescue serves all of New York State. We have taken in hundreds of Shelties and nearly all of them get significant medical care. Adoption fees barely cover the costs for the healthiest of our dogs as we make sure all are vaccinated and chipped before going to new homes. Many also need spay or neuter and there are many cases of neglect or senior dogs whose health care requirements are extensive. We do everything we can to ensure a good quality of life for the dogs in our care. Donations are absolutely necessary for us to continue this work. Thank you for helping us help the Shelties.

    We understand that not everyone can have a dog at the present time but would like to help a sheltie in need.

    For this, we are talking about items of value. We raise a lot of our funds through raffles and auctions, either live, by mail or online. If you have any items of value, especially items with a Sheltie theme, please reach out to fundraising@lissr.org to discuss your donation.

  • Charitable Bequests

    Your last Will and Testament is the document through which you may pass on your legacy to family, friends, and charitable organizations that you support.  You may make a bequest to Long Island Shetland Sheepdog Rescue by directing in your Will and/or your revocable living trust that certain assets be transferred to LISSR after your death. You can structure the bequest to be a specified sum of money, a percentage of your estate, or as a contingent bequest.  During your lifetime, such assets will continue to remain in your control, and you may also modify the bequest to address changing circumstances during your lifetime.

    We encourage you to discuss your estate plans with your attorney and/or tax advisor for suggested language to use as part of your testamentary plan as well as tax benefits in your state.  Contact us for information about where to send the bequest.
