Areas NorCal Sheltie Rescue serves
NorCal Sheltie Rescue, an affiliate of the American Shetland Sheepdog Association Rescue Network, is NOT a shelter. We are volunteers throughout Northern California who take homeless shelties into our homes to foster. We get them veterinary care to: ensure vaccinations are current; get them heartworm tested, spayed or neutered and care for any other health issues before placing in approved homes throughout the entire Northern California area, from Bakersfield north to the Oregon border and from the Pacific coast to the State line.

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.
