Adoption steps
- Submit Application
- Please read the Sheltie's bio before applying for information on fence requirement, the dog's age, size, personality, health, and fee.
- Home Check
- A visit to your home by our volunteers helps us to know which dog is best suited for your family/lifestyle. We will need to view your fence.
- Meet the Pet
- If we currently have a Sheltie in rescue who may be a match for you, a visit to the foster home to meet the Sheltie will be scheduled.
- Sign Adoption Contract
- If the foster family and potential adopter feel it's the right match for the foster dog, the adoption day and transport is scheduled.
Additional adoption info
Please read our Frequently Asked Questions at FAQ prior to emailing us.
If you are interested in adopting a Sheltie, the first step is to submit the application. All of our Shelties reside in foster homes. We will contact your references and visit with you at your home. Our process helps us to know which of the Shelties in our program may be a good match for your family, your home set-up and your lifestyle. Upon adoption, the contract is signed.
In most cases, a secure wood, vinyl, or chain link fence, with secure gates and no gaps, and with direct access from the house is required for the dogs in our program. Shelties are a high flight risk, and many of the dogs we take into our program may be shy. When we have a Sheltie in our program that can go to a home without a fence, it will be noted in the dog's bio. For ALL the dogs in our program, our adoption contract requires that the dog will ALWAYS be on a leash whenever the dog is not in a securely fenced area.
Our adoption fees are based on the Sheltie's age: $450 for dogs 0-3 years, $350 for dogs 4-8 years, $250.00 for dogs 9 & older. All our Shelties are altered and appropriate vet care is provided while they are in foster care. Our veterinary expenses generally exceed the adoption fee. Donations are always appreciated!
