Our Adopted Shelties
Shetland Sheepdog Placement Services of NJ was started in 1992 and has helped find forever homes for over 1000 shelties. Most of the shelties were fostered and then adopted, others may have been adopted directly from local shelters or worked out as an “owner to owner” adoption.
To add your adopted Sheltie to our Previous Adoptions page please contact us. Tell us little bit about your Sheltie and adoption experience and send photos along with your story.
2022 Adoptions
LUCA
May 2022
LUCA has been adopted. Luca is a 5 year old who is a very enthusiastic, happy dog who loves to go for walks, run around the yard, chase tennis balls, and play with his toys. He is a barker and will let you know if someone is at the door, or sometimes he just likes to bark to let you know he is happy.
Luca has been adopted into a home where he will be the only dog and will be treated to all the attention an only dog gets. He will be loved and cared for. We look forward to hearing about Luca in the future in his new home.
SHANE
April 2022
SHANE has been adopted. Shane is an 6 month old puppy. He came from a home where he was adored and treated very well, but his elderly owner has some serious mobility issues and had a fall not long ago. She was concerned about having an active little guy underfoot and the risk of another fall. And she wanted what was best for her sweet Shane as she could not provide the activity that Shane needs. So rescue stepped up to help out – that is exactly what we are here to do.
Shane has been adopted into a forever home where he will be loved as a cherished member of the family. Best wishes to Shane and his doggie parents. May they have a long, happy time making great memories together.
