Story
Brindle Pitt looking for a new forever home. We rescued him a little over 2 years ago and never had a problem. (He did show aggression at the rescue place he was at towards other dogs, they believe he was used for fighting as he has a few scars on his legs but he was found on the side of the road) He did a meet and greet with our 2 little pups (chihuahuas) with no problem (his aggression was towards larger dogs) he has lived with them for almost 3 years with no problem. He just recently started showing small signs of aggression and we came home to my little pup dead. He had killed him. he just hasn’t been the same since. He shows absolutely no signs of aggression with kids or people at all only other animals. He would do great in a home where he is by himself.

Story
I adopted Oscar in March 2023 from Save A Shepherd rescue. He was 9 months old when I got him, and he had been in a prison training program so had a good start on basic manners. He is quite an energetic dog, and I have learned in the past several months that he doesn't like other dogs. He does, however, love kids and people. He's very sweet, loyal and energetic. I live in town and don't have a fenced in yard. I feel bad that he is not getting the exercise and playing that he needs, especially because I'm not confident to take him where other dogs may be. I would love to see him with a young man who would be strong and able to care well for him.

Story
Welcome to Heart's Promise Sheltie Rescue and please give a huge welcome to our new gal MADDY. Maddy is a Sheltie Puppy 1 year old and will be turning 2 years on December 1, 2025. She is a taller and very active gal at 41 pounds and loves to play. Maddy is an affectionate, extremely smart youngster. She is very curious and loves her yard. Maddy is very athletic and can turn on a dime. With proper training she could excel in agility or fly ball. Maddy, does, however, require ongoing socialization and obedience. She is housebroken but requires reinforcement as she was often "tied out" for lengthy periods of time in her past home. She's very active and friendly and is just learning how to be part of her foster family (dog and human.) She would do well with older children, but may be too strong for younger children or toddlers. Maddy is very friendly with the other dogs in her foster home and loves to play. Cats are questionable and she may like to chase the cats for play but she is a very gentle sheltie girl by nature. Training will be a must, but the effort will be worth it. This girl is a diamond in the "ruff." Maddy is being fostered in the Waynesboro, PA area (near Gettysburg PA) . This sheltie pup will need a SECURE FENCED IN YARD...and no exceptions. (Please do not inquire if you do not have a secure fenced in yard). We adopt to forever homes here in the state of PA and will consider adoption homes just over the PA state line, but we do not do long distance adoptions. Inquiries can be emailed to: mikelamontshelties@gmail.com or a reply here to this post on this adoption site. Adoption applications can be download from our Heart's Promise Sheltie Rescue website at: pasheltierescue.org or contact me directly by email at: mikelamontshelties@gmail.com

Story
Gabby is an 8 year old sable sheltie who is up to date on all vaccinations, is spayed, microchipped, she weighs 28 pounds and is ready for her new forever home. Gabby would do best in a quiet, adult-only home, where she can safely explore and receive the love and attention she deserves. A home that knows the sheltie breed and the herding dog breed would be the best for Gabby. She loves her walks and does great on her leash. Gabby is an independent and loyal girl who enjoys sitting near her foster family in the evenings. She likes to be the queen of the house and can be a little bossy and thus she would do best as an only dog in her new forever home. We’re not sure about cats, but a home with kitties would be best. Gabby is currently on medications to help with her anxiety. Gabby lost her human parent and is in need of a new forever home. Gabby is currently in a house with 2 other dogs and is guarded around these pups. Gabby doesn't play with toys but does enjoy sitting outside in the fresh air and enjoying the fenced in backyard. Gabby is being fostered in the HARRISBURG, PA area and please note her location here in PA and her foster home location. HPSR covers the state of PA, and our foster homes are located throughout the state of PA. Gabby will need a SECURE FENCED IN YARD...and no exceptions. (Please do not inquire if you do not have a secure fenced in yard). We adopt to forever homes here in the state of PA and will consider adoption homes just over the PA state line, but we do not do long distance adoptions. Inquiries can be emailed to: mikelamontshelties@gmail.com or a reply here to her post on this adoption site. Adoption applications can be download from our website at: pasheltierescue.org
