Jack is a neat, blue merle boy whose date of birth is 8/10/03. He is in rescue because a breeder is reducing the number of dogs in his kennel. He is making great progress in house training and socialization. He is a bit shy but you can pet him and he really enjoys it He would make someone with the patience to continue his socialization a great pet.
Kia is a beautiful Mahogany Sable Sheltie girl. She is very loyal and quite entertaining. Kia loves her treats and enjoys helping in the kitchen. Kia is house trained, walks on a leash and wants to please. Kia enjoys walks, and could adjust well to apartment life. She is a great companion. Kia ended up in Animal Control abandoned and confused. This has left her a bit insecure of what will happen next. If given a chance to adjust, Kia will be your devoted companion.
Lily Marlene is a shy but beautiful blue merle girl whose date of birth is 1/24/03. She came into rescue from a breeding situation and has some socialization to be done. Lily has made great progress since she has been in her foster home. Lily is house trained and has learned to walk on a leash. She enjoys socializing at her Petco outings.
My name is Reily and I AM TOUGH! I survived four years as a breeding dog. Then the softies at LL Dog came and took me out of there. I’m not complaining as they have treated me good, but I AM TOUGH! I even lost part of my lip when I had a disagreement with another critter at the breeders, but I AM TOUGH.
The folks in my foster home take really good care of me. They don’t realize that they don’t have to treat me very well, ‘cause I AM TOUGH! When I got to my foster home, I couldn’t keep my food down and I had “the runs”. ICH! We found out I had giradia, an
intestinal parasite that makes you feel crummy. Since I AM TOUGH!, I didn’t didn’t complain. I think my foster parents knew something was up when they had to clean my crate every day. Oh, Lordy! I am over that and even though I AM TOUGH, I like sleeping in a clean bed. That is the reason why I have learned to go outside to Potty!. I also like to be petted although I make it hard for folks to do it. I have an image to maintain after all! I have done a pretty good job up to now of keeping everybody at a safe distance. I AM TOUGH! and I haven’t learned yet how not to be. I just had my lunch and feel pretty good right now and I am tough, zzzzzzzz. :) Okay, I Am Pretty TOUGH!
Note from Reily’s foster dad. Reily needs a special home where the folks will understand they can only have what Reily is willing to give. With a lot of time and tenderness, I think Reily will be a great pet. He may never lick your face but even this tough little guy has a tender side. Could you be the one for him?
Andy came into rescue after living in a breeding kennel all of his life. His foster parents are teaching him house training, leash training and general trust of humans. He is extremely cautious of all movements toward him but he is slowly opening up. He is exploring on his own terms. Each day of his new life is bringing new sights, sounds and experiences. More on Andy's progress to come.
Andy is a very special boy and will require a very special home. Andy was a breeding Sheltie in his past life. He is small 20 lbs., but has a very full, beautiful coat. Since he has entered rescue, he has grown to love soft beds, toys and play with other dogs. Andy requires a special kind of patience. He has learned to come in when called and meal times are very special times. Andy is not a barker, but does want you to know when he needs out and sometimes in the excitement of play. He enjoys daily naps in his safe spots. He is crate trained. Andy is very intelligent and would do best in a home with another dog to help teach him the routine.
Senior and mature dogs have a lot of love to offer an individual or family. We cannot begin to list all the reasons on this page, but would like to refer you to The Senior Dog Project. They offer 10 top reasons to adopt a senior dog. They also provide
Special veterinary care we provide for our mature dogs
All our dogs, ages seven and older, have special veterinary care, which includes full body function blood work and T4 tests. These are completed to better evaluate the health of our dogs.

All of our dogs two or three years of age and older have dentals and their teeth cleaned. Of course, all our dogs are spay/neutered, current on vaccinations and heartworm tested. Dogs who are heartworm positive are treated. All vet work, including blood reports and x-rays are included and available to the family adopting and their veterinarian.

Gizmo has been in rescue for some time and has lost about 15 pounds and is now a sleek 38 pounds. His mom got sick and turned him into the shelter where we got him. He is sweet and affectionate but is afraid of small children. Perhaps he was teased or had other issues with kids. He loves to go on walks, loves treats and food so his weight will have to be monitored. He is house trained, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on prevention, and micro chipped. We estimate his age at 9 years but he acts younger.
Marty came to rescue from a local shelter where his time was up. He is small, active, and our vet thinks around 8 years of age. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, micro chipped and has had his canine flu shot. He has some hearing loss and is learning to function using hand signals. He is smart, affectionate and pretty active for a dog of his age. He is house trained. Email us if you can make Marty a part of your life.
Taylor just entered rescue from a breeding facility. She is working on her house training and progressing very well. She has a very sweet disposition and is getting more comfortable at being a companion Sheltie. She does not walk on a leash, just had one on for the first time last week. Much more training needed here. She is small at 20 lbs. and VERY pretty.
Sarah came to rescue in quite the family way. She had 5 Sheltie puppies the day after she arrived. Sarah has completed a physical and x-rays after her puppies were born. Sarah does not spend her day in a pen. The pen is for her puppies. The door is open. Sarah is about eight years old. She is a bit independent, but loves to be petted. Sarah is house trained. She just doesn't want to get very far away from her puppies. Watch for new photos and updates for Sarah as we get to know her. She arrived on 12/20/2011.
Beau came to rescue from a local shelter. He came to us after testing positive for heartworm disease. He has had his heartworm treatment and is ready to go to his new home. He will need to be tested again for heartworm July 31 and if negative can be declared free of heartworms . He is up to date on vaccinations and on heartwrom preventative. He is housetrained and loves attention. He is a bit overweight but we are working on reducing his weight.
My name is Diamond, and I am a true gem! I am a petite, purebred Sable and White Sheltie, with a loving, friendly personality that surpasses my small size. Through no fault of my own, I lost the only home I had ever known. I was so heartbroken, but the kind folks at KC Sheltie Rescue took me in. I show my gratitude by playing with toys, and loving my foster parents. I am fully housetrained, and a total joy - and cute to boot! I am healthy and active, but do need to stay on inexpensive Thyroid meds. Although I am considered a "senior", I have lots of love and playfulness to share in my "fur"ever home.
Cocoa's DOB is 1/20/03. She is a bit chunky and needs some exercise. She is on thyroid meds for a very low thyroid level. She is sweet, laid back and ready to be adopted.
Rocky is a full coated blue merle carrying a few extra pounds. His date of birth is 1/20/03. He is a gentle soul who needs a bit of exercise. He likes all people but has a preference for guys.
My name is B'Elanna. I am a petite, purebred Sable Merle Sheltie female with two beautiful blue eyes. My birthdate is May, 2004. Surrendered by a breeder, I have had lots of puppies, but I don't have to worry about that anymore. So I have decided to become a very good house dog and loveable companion. I love living in a warm house so much, and I caught onto potty training so quickly that my foster Mom doesn't even crateme. Yep - I showed her that I can be trusted not to potty in the house. Quite a cuddler, I enjoy lying on a warm lap while my ears are rubbed. I weigh about 18 lbs., and need to make a New Year's resolution to lose a pound or so.
I am very sweet, a little shy, but friendly and get along well with other dogs. Walking on lead is totally foreign to me, so I need more practice. Once I heal from my recent spay surgery (whew! glad that is over with), I will be ready for my "fur"ever home.
