Shelties Available For Adoption

Thank you for considering adopting one of our shelties

The adoption process begins when you submit the ADOPTION APPLICATION form to us. We cannot stress enough how It is important that you answer all the questions. There are no right or wrong answers and no trick questions. Your answers will help us match you up with the right rescue.

It is important, however, for you to understand that each of these dogs comes with its own life experiences. Some come from loving homes, whose owners may have passed away, or perhaps moved and couldn’t take their dog with them. Some dogs are given up for health or other personal reasons. Other dogs were abandoned and are looking for loving homes.

Might be your ‘furever’ friend

Once SSPSNJ gets a dog, the dog is examined by a veterinarian, spayed/neutered, and brought up to date on all its shots. With all this complete, we do our best to find the right home for the right sheltie.

Shelties Available For Adoption

Kingsley

Big rescue welcome to KINGSLEY. Kingsley is a 6 month old sheltie puppy who is having issues with anxiety. His family loves him very much but realized that he needs some help working through these issues. They put this adorable little guy’s needs first and rehomed him to rescue.

He is in a foster home that can help him. He will not be available for adoption for some time as his foster mom (who is a trainer) works with him. We will post more as we get to know this sweet little guy better.

Samantha

Big rescue welcome to SAMMY (Samantha)! Sammy is an 11 month spayed female. She is about 20lbs but has long legs. Sammy came from a home that loved her very much but her elderly owner couldn’t keep up with a busy girl like Sammy. She knows ‘sit’, ‘shake’ and can give you a hi five!

Since she needs some training and will be getting that in her foster home Sammy is not available for adoption at this time. We will be posting more about Sammy as we get to know her.

Fosters

The B&B Crew: Merrill, Whitney and Blaze are currently in their foster homes being evaluated. They are not available for adoption yet. They came to SSPSNJ from a shelter in Newark after their owner was unable to care for them anymore. They have been through a lot recently, first the shelter in Newark and then in a kennel for 2 week quarantine. These three sweet little shelties will need to be spayed/neutered, have dental work done and all vet exams updated as part of their foster evaluation. They are brave little shelties and are being well cared for.

ALASKA

Big rescue welcome to ALASKA! Alaska is currently being fostered and will not be available for adoption for awhile.

Alaska just turned 2 years old and is a double merle. He is on the smaller side at about 20lbs. He is a Special Needs dog as he is hearing impaired. We will be getting him to the vet very soon to be caught up on whatever he needs and he will need to be neutered. He also does not know what a leash is all about so will be learning some leash walking skills. He is understandably scared but incredibly sweet. But likes meatballs and lap cuddles as can be seen in the photo. He also likes other dogs – in fact it is helpful for a deaf dog to be in a home with another dog. We will post more as we get to know Alaska better in the next few weeks.
