"The Animals' Savior"

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry.
"God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?"
God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly.
"I have done something," He replied.
"I created You."

Sheltie Rescue of Birmingham, Inc.

  In the past year and half we have rescued and placed 22 shelties.  We have gotten them from owner turn-ins, shelters and animal control. we have had sables and tri's, but have never had a blue come to us.  

Right now we have Belle and Beau who came in together and really need to go together or at least to a home with other dogs.  Belle in particular needs company or she gets very depressed.  
We also have Peanut, who is 14 years old and deaf.  She must go to a very special home, then there is Pokey.  He is a very sweet boy but has a terrible over bite.  As soon as he is through with his heartworm treatment he will be available to be adopted.  

All dogs come to their new homes up to date on all shots and free of internal and external parasites.  
We require a fenced back yard and a home visit done before the adoption can take place.

We are a new Rescue in Queensbury NY. As with most Rescues, we are a not for profit organization. We depend on the generosity of the general public for everything from food to toys. Our adoption fees usually aren't enough to cover the vet bills on each dog. If you can help in any way please e-mail us and ask for a wish list.

If you think you may be interested in adopting one of our dogs, please e-mail us for more information. A time will be set up for you to meet with the dog in foster care, and we will make a home visit to review your application and look at your situation to best match you with the right dog for you.

Sheltie Haven

Sheltie Haven is a resource for shelties and those who love them. With each dog who comes into our program, there is a certain amount of emotional, mental of physical baggage. It is very important to us to work with each sheltie, emphasizing rehabilitation, training and lots of love. It is our goal that each dog that comes through our program not only finds a wonderful home, but also is a better pet for having known us.
Education is also very important to us. We are willing to counsel those who have problems with their dogs. Saving a home is such a joy to us! And we are available to offer whatever resources we have to aid any sheltie in need.
We are always in need of foster homes. Anyone interested in fostering should contact the coordinator about our foster program. It is a very enriching way to give back to the dogs who give so much and require so little

Southeastern Wisconsin Herding Dog Rescue, Inc

The Mission of our Program is "TO HELP SHELTIES AND SELECTED OTHER HERDING BREEDS IN NEED AND TO EDUCATE  THE PUBLIC ON RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP" First and foremost the SWHDR rescue program is to be concerned with the welfare of the dogs in our program and to treat each dog as an individual case dealt with fairly and with the best interest of the dog in mind.  Secondly, we want the homes that these dogs are adopted into to be the best possible match to the needs of the dog and the adopting home.

 Our adopted dogs have acquired many performance titles, junior showmanship wins, Obedience, Agility. Herding, K-9 good citizen titles.  Our dogs have done demos, visits to nursing homes, they've even been on TV.... and lived their lives as beloved pets.
