Forever Foster Program
SSPSNJ believes that there is a home for every dog we rescue and we are willing to wait to find it. However, every now and then certain dogs have ongoing medical expenses that make adoption more difficult. These dogs have a very special place in our hearts and still deserve a chance at happiness.
Why Sponsor A Dog in Our Forever Foster Program?
By donating to our Forever Foster Program, you are helping an animal who would be otherwise in a cage, on the streets, or worse. You are providing them with the means to live out the rest of their lives in a warm, loving home with a family who loves them. It doesn’t have to be a lot – donating $5 per month would mean the world to any of our Forever Foster dogs.
Our Forever Foster Program is an amazing program, but also a costly one. This program allows dogs to live out their lives in a home with amazing people who love them, when they otherwise would not have had that opportunity, due to their age and/or medical condition(s). By contributing to our Forever Foster Program, you are supporting these beautiful dogs and allowing them to live out their golden years with love, dignity, and a family to call their own.
How Can I Sponsor a Forever Foster Dog?
If you would like to make a donation to help with the “Forever Foster” program or a specific “Forever Foster” dog, simply go to PayPal to donate online or mail your donation check to us: Shetland Sheepdog Placement Services NJ, 107 Broad Street Suite 694, Hainesport, NJ 08036. Make checks payable to: Shetland Sheepdog Placement Services NJ or SSPSNJ. Note your donation is for the Forever Fosters Program or a specific Forever Foster dog. No amount is too small–truly. When it comes to rescue, a little bit goes a long way. If every person gave just a little, the animals in our care would have a whole lot.

JUBILEE
LUCA
LUCA is one of our Forever Fosters. He is 8 years old now and a little guy at about 20lbs. LUCA was in an all breed rescue initially (his owner ended up in a nursing home) where he was in danger of euthanasia due to fighting with other dogs over resources and biting volunteers who got in the middle. SSPSNJ took LUCA in, evaluated him, and determined what his triggers are. He has issues that make him unadoptable to the average pet home but that does not mean we give up on a dog. He is safe in his foster home with very careful management, some medication, and an outlet for all that energy he has.
Proceeds from our fundraising activities make it possible for us to give LUCA a safe place to live out his life. LUCA says thank you! Your donations to NJ Sheltie Rescue go to help dogs like Luca. We accept donations and sponsorship for specific dogs – please indicate that you are donating for “Luca”.
JOURNEY
JOURNEY is one of our Missouri Mill dogs. He is a light sable and is about 5 or 6 years old. Journey lived his life in a backyard puppy mill with minimal human interaction. He is in a foster home where he will learn to be a pet and not livestock in a shed behind the house. Journey is very shut down and will need a lot of time to decompress and realize he will be okay. He doesn’t know how to walk on a leash, and is not housebroken. Those things will come with time.

TRIP
TRIP is one of our Missouri Mill dogs. He is a 2 or 3 year old sable merle with beautiful blue eyes. He is less shut down than Journey but is fearful of people. He also lived his life in this puppy mill with minimal care and food. He needs to learn how to live in the house as a pet and not as livestock out in the shed behind the house. He is young and once he feels more comfortable he will probably be higher energy.
