Areas National English Shepherd Rescue serves

National English Shepherd Rescue, Ltd (N.E.S.R.), a non-profit organization, works to help place English Shepherds who need new homes. We specifically rescue English Shepherds but are always happy to work with other Rescues and Shelters to place dogs of the English Shepherd type.

English shepherds are a breed of farm dogs that are often misidentified as border collies, Australian shepherds, rottweiler mixes, collies, and just plain ¡°mutts¡± when they end up in pounds and shelters. This even happens when relinquishers identify them, but workers have never heard of the breed. Because ES are not ¡°show dogs,¡± there is a lot of variation in appearance.

NESR is organized and operates exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, your donations may be tax deductible. Please consult with your tax advisor for guidance.

•Fill out an application and sign the contract and send it to the coordinator you have been working with for approval.
•Donation: NESR requests a donation of $200 for each dog adopted to help defray our expenses. NESR provides any medical care needed, and foster homes for all our dogs, this donation rarely covers everything we have spent but helps defray the costs.
•Transportation: It is the responsibility of the adopter to pay for transportation from the foster home, the crate (if needed) and the health certification from a Veterinarian (if needed). The coordinator you are working with will be able to give you an estimate of these expenses.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
