Central Illinois Sheltie Rescue

Central Illinois Sheltie Rescue is a non profit, State Licensed, ALL Volunteer organization that helps homeless or abandoned Shetland Sheepdogs.........also known as "Shelties". We take in the Shelties that need us, and adopt them out to wonderful new homes. Founded in 1998 , Central Illinois Sheltie Rescue takes in and places approximately 150-200 Shelties each year!

We will take in any Sheltie that needs us. We do not have a shelter facility. All dogs are housed and cared for in our network of foster homes. This allows us to get to know the dogs personality along with any special needs it may have.

All of our dogs get the best of medical care. Each dog is treated for any medical problems.....then spayed or neutered, brought current on all shots, wormed, treated for fleas and ticks, heartworm tested and treated if positive for HW, started on preventative medication, started on flea prevention medicine, and groomed. All shelties are then carefully placed in approved, responsible, permanent homes.If you are looking to adopt a Sheltie, "Rescue" is a great place to look!!
