My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Blizzard is a beautiful 13 month old female Sheltie. She is a double merle, which means she is deaf and partially blind. Despite that, she is a playful and sweet dog who loves to explore and have fun. She is good with other dogs and loves to play with her foster siblings. She also loves getting lots of lap time and attention from her foster parents. Blizzard is very vocal and has lots of opinions to share! She is still learning puppy manners and her play can be a little mouthy, but she's learning. She is pretty much housebroken but still will have an occasional accident. Her perfect home will have another playful dog who can match her feisty and fun personality. She must have a securely fenced yard (required) for safety, and a home where someone is around most of the day to give her all the love and attention she deserves. No children under 12. If you think you could give Blizzard the perfect home, visit our website at www.ncsr-md.org to submit an application.

Blizzard is being fostered in Kearneysville, WV. A home visit and application are required before a meet and greet. Our application can be found at our website www.ncsr-md.org. A free virtual training session to get her new owner started by Deb Bauer of "Your Inner Dog" is included with her adoption fee.

More about this rescue

NCSR is a non profit breed rescue group. We take in shelties of all ages from shelters and owner turn-ins. We are not a shelter, all our rescues live in foster homes and are evaluated for temperament. Shelties loose their homes for many reasons; moving, new baby, owner can no longer care for it are among the most common. Our goal is to place the dog in a new home where it will be loved, cared for and will live out the rest of it's life.
