Please note that Nebraska Sheltie Rescue requires that a placement home has a completely fenced yard in order to be considered. There are too many horrible stories about dogs getting out and having bad things happen. (For more on NSR's fence policy, see here.)
Meet Cleo!
Hi friendly people! I'm Cleo!
My owners couldn't keep me. They said it wasn't my fault, though. So now I'm hanging out with the NSR people for now. They tell me that I'm adorable and should be able to go to a great new home forever soon. That sounds exciting, doesn't it?
I'm still a little nervous at NSR because it's a different but I haven't been shy about eating! I immediately started snuggling up to the people here, though. (People are kind of cool and I like them once I know them better.) Hey, even cats are cool. I like playing with them and cuddling them. Once I get more comfortable here (or in my new home!), I'm looking forward to running around a lot more. I sure do like being in the yard!
They tell me I need to have some sort of surgery that I don't really understand but it won't be too hard or scary. After that, I am looking foward to meeting new people and seeing what my new house and yard might be like forever! It would be nice if you were to let NSR know that you want to meet me. Is it a deal?

Adoption Application
If you are interested in adopting one of our Shelties—either an available one or one that may come in the future—please fill out our online application form. If you are interested in a particular dog, there is a place to enter the doggie's name. If you are interested in being considered for any of our dogs—either ones we don't have yet or because one you are interested in is no longer available—fill out an application anyway. We will try to let you know when new dogs that match your interest become available.
Adoption Contract
When people adopt a dog from Nebraska Sheltie Rescue, they are asked to sign our adoption contract. This is so we can feel comfortable that our dogs will be going to good homes, be safe, and treated well.
Even if you are not ready to adopt a dog yet, you can view this contract to find out and decide if this is something you are willing to do. (To be honest, if you really care about doggies, none of this will come as a surprise.)
