❤️Happy Adoption News for Rhett, the Sweetest Sheltie Ever ❤️

Rhett's journey to a new life has been nothing short of incredible. He came into rescue weighing over 55 pounds, after living his first five years in heartbreaking conditions. His owner, suffering from dementia, could no longer care for herself or him, and Rhett was living in trash and even eating garbage to survive.

Thankfully, with the help of an incredibly dedicated foster home, Rhett was given the time and care he desperately needed to heal—both physically and emotionally. He shed the extra weight, learned proper manners, and, most importantly, discovered what it truly means to be a beloved companion.

After a long journey, Rhett is now thriving in his forever home, healthy and full of love. We couldn’t be happier for this sweet boy and his new family!

Here's to Rhett's bright future and many happy years ahead! 💙
If you're considering fostering, know that is one of the most rewarding things you will ever do. Helping an animal that is completely dependent on your generosity is life changing.
Please visit our website for information on how to Foster.
Www.coastalsheltierescue.org we are currently accepting Foster's Within 2 hours of Virginia Beach.

💗Adoption News for Savannah! 💗

We are overjoyed to announce that Savannah has found her forever home with a loving new mom! Her new mom is no stranger to the world of Collies and Shelties—👏she founded one of the very first Sheltie rescues in Virginia!👏 Though she stepped away from rescue work years ago, she’s always been close to our hearts, and it was an honor to help her find love with Savannah.

Her passion for rescuing shelties, Collies(including mixes) and other herding breeds set the foundation for our inclusive rescue work, and we’re so happy that Savannah will be cherished in her care. We are deeply grateful for the support and love that made this possible. ❤️

A special thank you to everyone who helped Savannah along her journey—she and her new mom are forever part of our rescue family.

With gratitude,
The Coastal Sheltie Rescue Family

Please welcome Sheldon to Coastal ❤️❤️available for adoption
Sheltie Shepherd Mix Age: 12 years old 40 lbs
Temperament: Calm, gentle, and affectionate; enjoys being with his people without being intrusive
Energy Level: Low; loves to wander around the house or yard and then relax nearby
Good with Children & Dogs: Yes, has done well around both
House-trained: Yes
Leash-trained: Yes, does not require a fenced yard but needs leash walking
Health: No major concerns; fish oil supplements recommended for joint health. He is a bit hard of hearing but very responsive to hand signals too.
Living Situation: Not suited for apartments with lots of stairs

Sheldon is house-trained, great on a leash, and doesn’t need a fenced yard, though he wouldn’t do well in an apartment with a lot of stairs. He has no major health concerns, though fish oil supplements would help keep his joints in top shape. Despite his past, where he didn’t receive consistent care, Sheldon is full of love and ready for his forever home.

We are offering a special *senior-to-senior* adoption fee of $100 for older adopters, though his regular adoption fee applies for non-senior applicants. Sheldon would be a wonderful companion for someone seeking a calm, low-energy dog who enjoys being nearby without being intrusive.

Meet Emmett – The Sweet Survivor with a Heart of Gold!
Emmett, a 9-year-old Rough Collie, has faced life’s toughest challenges with courage and still has nothing but love to give. Despite the years of neglect, this sweet boy’s spirit is unbreakable. He’s missing a few teeth from long-term starvation, and his hair won’t grow back on his bum—but none of that stops him from being a gentle, loving soul.

Crates? Not for this guy—they’re tough on his hips, and he much prefers a soft bed to stretch out on. He’s housetrained, knows his way around 3-4 stairs, and is great with all kinds of animals—whether it’s birds, puppies, girl dogs, or small, older male pups, Emmett fits right in. He just prefers not to hang out with large boy dogs.

Emmett is the perfect cuddle companion who loves calm short walks and cozy naps. He’s looking for a loving home within 6 hours of Suffolk, VA, so his journey can be short and sweet. If you’ve got space in your heart and home for this brave, golden-hearted boy, he’ll shower you with endless love and loyalty. 🐾💛
It has been a long road to recovery for Emmett and our hearts are overjoyed to finally offer him for adoption ❣️
* his foster does live in Virginia Beach but willing to transport him to suffolk/Hampton * for long distance travelers who do not live within 3 hrs of Virginia Beach

❣️The Harvest Huddle ❣️Adoption Applications Open!
We’re excited to announce that our Harvest Sheltie litter, currently 9-10 weeks old and weighing 5-6 lbs, is now open for adoption applications! There are four girls and two boys in the litter. While it’s too early to choose specific puppies right now, the first step is to apply and get approved.

Adoption Process:
- If you have a preference for a particular puppy, feel free to mention it, but we do not reserve puppies for any applicants.
- Once applications are reviewed and approved, you’ll be invited to a meet-and-greet day, where you can interact with one or two puppies.
- The puppy you choose to take home will go home with you the same day. We believe in letting the puppy pick its family!

Please Note: We will only be approving as many applications as we have puppies available. If you submit an application and meet our requirements, it’s likely you will have a good chance for adoption. However, this process may take a little longer than anticipated, possibly beyond October 12th. Rest assured, it is our goal to place these puppies in their forever homes as quickly as possible while carefully considering the best match.

🔺️Requirements:🔺️
- No Crating All Day: Puppies cannot be left alone for more than 4 hours. You must have a plan in place to ensure they are cared for during the day, including a playpen set up. Crating for long periods is not allowed.
- Fenced Yard: A fenced yard is required.
- Age of Children: We prefer families with no children under the age of 10, as Shelties are herding dogs and thrive best in certain environments.
- Herding Dog Experience: Prior experience with herding breeds is a plus.
- Veterinary Reference: You must provide an impeccable vet reference.
- Puppy Compatibility: Puppies will not be placed in homes with advanced age/older dogs that are not puppy-friendly or have no experience with young dogs.
- Training Requirement: All families must commit to training classes. A **training class deposit** will be required unless you can demonstrate prior experience with training and provide a reference from a trainer. Families already enrolled in classes will be prioritized.
- Spay/Neuter Deposit: A spay/neuter deposit is required, which will be refunded once proof of the procedure has been completed at the appropriate age.
- Pool and Doggie Door Restrictions: If you have a pool, **you must have safety features** in place, such as a fence around the pool and a pool alarm, due to the puppies’ age and size. We cannot approve applications for homes with both a pool and doggie doors, or pools without proper safety measures.

👉Important Note: We understand that everyone is excited about adopting, but 🔺️we will not be making exceptions🔺️ to our requirements, no matter how great your situation may seem. If you do not meet the outlined criteria (including pool safety and doggie door restrictions), your application will be denied, and we will move forward with other applicants who meet the needs of these puppies. Our goal is to ensure the best possible matches for these pups, so we appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Location Priority:
We are prioritizing families within 3 hours of Virginia Beach, but may consider a wider area depending on circumstances.

Meet & Greets:
Tentative meet-and-greet dates are set for October 12th, though they may be moved back depending on the puppies’ health and treatment progress.

For more details, please review our full adoption guidelines before applying. We look forward to finding the perfect homes for these social, happy, and sweet puppies.
