Northern Virginia Sheltie Rescue

Many of these Shelties come from shelters as strays or turn-ins by owners who can no longer care for them. Others are relinquished directly to rescue.

Northern Virginia Sheltie Rescue (NVSR) is an all volunteer non-profit organization formed to rescue, rehabilitate, and place Shelties in need of care in our service area. For answers to many common questions, please check our website at www.NVSR.org/

NVSR takes in Shelties from all over Virginia, and also helps with Shelties in West Virginia, Washington DC, Delaware, and Maryland. Reasons for r

elinquishment range from the truly tragic to the maddeningly frivolous. Most have the potential to become very loving pets, though many carry physical and/or emotional 'baggage' from their problematic pasts. Frequently, a sheltie who does poorly in one family situation will thrive when placed in a different home. Upon arrival into the rescue group, the dog receives a full veterinary examination, including spay/neuter if necessary; vaccinations and necessary diagnostic tests, including heartworm. The dog is then placed in a temporary foster home where he will be carefully evaluated. Foster families work on correcting whatever problems exist (including basic training) and provide a sense of security and stability during the transition period. Every effort is made to make sure that the right dog is placed in the right home. Each dog has its own personality and is unique in his own way. Because of this, not every sheltie will fit in just any home. NVSR is committed to finding forever homes for our Shelties.
